MLK Weekend

So I thought I'd post some pics from our MLK weekend. Guy got monday off from work so we had 3 days to hang out and enjoy the 70 degree weather!! We took the kiddos to the park and Brayden got a little bike ride in
And had some fun pushing Tyler in the swing. Ty LOVES to swing and he literally laughs the whole time he's in there.
Brayden is very proud that he can now be pushed "high" in the big kid swings
Taking Tyler down the slide. He looks a little more excited then me, huh!

On MLK day, we took the boys to the zoo. The highlight of the trip was the giraffes which have become our favorite animal at our zoo. First, because they have 2 baby ones and second, because of these pictures:
You might have to enlarge them but do you see this giraffe's tongue!!!
Isn't that nasty! I had no idea their tongues were black and so long. It was kinda creepy!
Sweet little ty ty
The best way to see the elephants :) Brayden roaring like the lion
Feeding the birds the seed sticks
I love this picture of them peeking at the monkeys
I apologize for all the animal pictures. Guy will make fun of me for posting them but I seriously can't resist! I love the zoo :)
Almost big enough, but not quite!
"Maybe when I'm 4 mom!"

We haven't really been up to much else this month. Guy played in a church basketball tournament last weekend and had fun doing that. We are both starting to train for another race in april. Guy is going to run a full marathon (again) and I am going to run a half this time so we'll see how that goes. Brayden will be starting 3 year old spring soccer soon and Guy is looking into maybe coaching which would be fun. And Ty turns 1 in less then a month which is seriously freaking me out because this year has flown by way too fast for me. He is starting to stand and balance for a few seconds at a time but no steps yet. So we are all doing good here and enjoying the nice weather outside. I think I'm gonna have a rough time next winter if we move somewhere cold again that actually has "real" winters! I've gotten pretty used to wearing flip flops year round :)

First off, I hate you because you can wear flip flops, and hang out at the zoo and the park right now. JK! I'm with you on not loving real winters!

We still want you to move here! What if I bribe you guys?

Sounds like you guys are doing great! A half in April? Where at? You guys are still doing Hood to Coast too, right?
