Good times in NC

You can see I chopped my hair! I know you are all surprised! I love it!!

Zander fell asleep right at the top of the stairs. He couldn't even make it to his bed!

Katerina and Abby after their AWESOME dance performance

Uncle Lance playing with Kezia

We played Jenga at Lance and Beth's house and got that thing so tall! It was fun! Every time we went we would all think it was going to fall and then it wouldn't.

Ethan was mad because he wanted to play Jenga too!

My favorite picture!!

Look how cute my little nephew Ethan is! He was so funny!

Water Park USA

Not only did we have a blast at Busch Gardens but we also had a ton of fun at their water park. However, Kezia had fallen asleep just from the walk to the park from our car.

What a cute family all decked out in Rash Guards.

Here's Zac giving the kids a good talkin' before they hit up the slides.

As you can see, you can't let Zander run or before you know it he's out of town!!

Kezia and mom waiting for the guys to get back.

Zac is so "Worn out!"

Abby striking a pose!

Kezia happy as always!

Isn't Liam soooooo Cute! Watch out girls!!!

Busch Gardens

We had the opportunity to go to North Carolina for a week. We went to Busch Gardens with Zac's family. It was way fun!! Here are some pictures.

Kezia was so good on the flights there and back. Here is Kezia sitting in the massaging chairs at the airport.

She thought the beds in the hotel were fun to crawl on.

This was the best ride there. It's called the Griffon and the first hill is a straight down drop.



Ah cute!! Look at those little baby dinosaurs!

We thought it was so funny when I would squirt water in Kezia's mouth because she loved it!! She would have her tongue out ready for it.

Kezia and Katerina!

Kezia loved these wine press buckets. Here is Kezia with Daddy and Zander (whom she loved) and Katerina

See she just loved it!

Kezia and Zander (Kezia always laughed at Zander and he loved it)

We all got soaked riding the Rapids ride! It felt great!

At the end of the day Abby started running and fell hard! Suzie and I tried not to laugh but were unsuccessful...not that we didn't feel bad for Abby.

Abby got the stroller after her fall! What a dad!!

Welcome Violet Rachelle Cook!!

Way to go Anjelena!!! You would never think that this is her sixth after seeing this picture eh?

Here is a couple pictures of Violet Rachelle Cook. We are so happy she is here!!!

Kezia with her cool cousin Chase! As you can see Chase is getting so big. When I saw him at the hospital I just couldn't believe how big he was. The little boy is no longer there!!!

Sisters in Zion Fun

On May 1st, a few of my missionary companions and friends put together a little get together. It was fun! From left to right is Hermana Smith, Hermana Wilson, Hermana Elmer, Hermana Anderson, Hermana Thatcher, and me.

Here we are playing Rock Band!

Here is Kezia and Felicity. They are about a week apart.

Random pictures of Kezia

Kezia eating her prunes!!
Here are some good ones!

Moab Fun!

On April 23rd, we went to Moab with Janelle, Dean, and Davis Ayala, Michelle, Emmanuel, and Emma Knowles, and Charise and Greg Balls. It was really fun and our little ones were definately troopers. They did so good...especially during the day. Kezia loved her carrier and loved being outside and seeing all the cool things.

Janelle, Dean, me and Bret with our kids barely made it to Landscape Arch. It was so windy and we were getting beaten up by the sand. Luckily, I was able to get a few pictures of it.

This was on our way to Sand dune arch.


Here is a picture of Bret, Kezia, and I under Delicate Arch. Yeah we look like midgets! It's incredible!!

My friends are so cool that they watched Kezia while me, Bret, and Emmanuel went on a bike ride to Gemini Bridges. We thought it was going to be so awesome. Well, to make a long story short it was a crazy day!! We lost Emmanuel almost at the begining of the ride, we came to a T in the road and couldn't figure out which way to go and our friends couldn't find our truck to shuttle it down for us. Kezia was screaming...which is not like her at all. This is a picture of Bret and I at Gemini Bridges.This is us waiting for our friends to pick us up at the bottom of the trail where our truck should have been. :-) Yeah, Emmanuel was nowhere to be found.

Our great husbands packing around the kids. Dean and Davis Ayala on the left, Bret and Kezia, and Emmanuel and Emma on the right.

Here's the gang! I've got the best friends ever!!!
Here are just a couple of cute pictures of Kezia. She's growing up so fast!!!
