A Day at the Zoo

Summer, Makenna, Sayla, and I went to the zoo for the afternoon. I love going to the zoo! We saw all the animals, ate lunch, and rode on the Merry-go-round and the train. It was the first sunny, warm day in a long time and we all enjoyed being outside. Love you Summer! Let's do it again soon!

Summer and her girls

I love the elephants. They are my favorite.

I rode the Merry-go-round with Makenna. She was so excited to be on the froggy.

SLC Marathon 5K

I ran my first 5K in the Salt Lake City Marathon today. My friend Stacie and I went together and had a blast. I am so glad I did it - next up will be a half marathon :)

At the start of the race

Having fun and being silly

The finish line - we hung out after the race and watched the marathon and half marathon runners finish.

We cheered for Katherine when she finished the half marathon. Next year I plan on running the half marathon.

Happy Birthday Trevor!

Thursday was Trevor's 25th birthday. He is younger than me, so for two months every year, we get to be the same age :) On his birthday, we were supposed to go the Bees first game of the season, but it ended up getting canceled. Instead, we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and went bowling later that night. I don't have pictures from that day because my camera battery died. We came home and had brownies (because Trevor is not the biggest fan of cake) and he opened his presents. I got him a few small things (the big birthday present was the motorcycle). We decided to continue the birthday celebration in to Friday. We hung out during the day, which was really fun since we don't get a lot of time together. That night we went to the Bees game. It was really fun - we ate a lot of ballpark food, watched the Bees win their first game, and froze in the cold, windy Utah April weather.

Getting birthday love from his baby girl. She was so affectionate that day towards Trevor- it was really cute!

At the beginning of the game before it got really cold.

The start of all our snacks. I love ballpark food - I think that may be one of the reasons I like going to the games so much.

Brrrrr........by the end of the game, I was bundled up with my hood on, gloves, and wrapped in a blanket.

I love you Trevor! You are a great husband. I had a lot of fun celebrating your birthday - thanks for everything you do.

Trevor's New Baby

Trevor has been wanting a motorcycle since I have known him. I was opposed to it, being a nurse and knowing the risks involved. I finally gave in a few weeks ago. Trevor has been smiling since the day it came to our home- if only the weather were a little better so he could ride more. He had a few days of nice weather - just enough for a taste of the fun! When he gets a little better, he may be able to talk me in to going for a ride :)

Uh, how do I ride this thing? Just kidding!

Leaving for his first ride around the neighborhood. Can you see the smile on his face? He hasn't stopped smiling since...

Weekend Getaway

Trevor and I went to Las Vegas for the weekend. We left on Valentines Day and stayed over night in Trevor's grandparent's house in Paragonah, a small town about half way between here and Vegas. We had the house to ourselves and it was really nice. On Sunday morning, we drove in to Vegas and spent the day walking around. It was a little chilly, but we had a great time. We went to M&M world, which was way too busy, we gambled a little (and won about $100), shopped, and went to a concert at night.

Trevor was so great and drove the entire way- there and back.

The sunset was beautiful on the drive down.

The house in Paragonah

This is the hotel lobby at the Bellagio.

Our room at the Bellagio. It was a gorgeous hotel and the nicest room we have ever stayed in! We would definitely stay there again!

Hanging out at Margaritaville

Water show at the Bellagio during the day

Walking around during the day
There was a really neat garden in the lobby

The water show at night. We were able to watch the last three shows of the night.

Leaving...we wanted to stay another day, but we had to get back to school and work. It was really nice to get away, even if it was a short trip.

Valentine's flowers from my wonderful husband

A balloon flower also came with my Valentine's Day gifts. :)

Aunt Karolin, Uncle Greg, Luca, and Quinn came to visit from California this past weekend. We don't get to see them very often so it was really fun to hang out with them. These pictures were from Valentine's day. Trevor loves his cousins... and they really loved Jersey! Notice how they put a crown on her and made her walk around on the leash with it on. I'm not sure Jersey enjoyed this, but she was a good sport.

Luca and Jersey playing in the snow. He would throw snowballs for her to chase -or just throw them at her :)

Quinn, Karolin, and Jersey playing

Jersey loved having someone her about her size to play with

Mardi Gras...in Utah

Hillcrest High School has a Mardi Gras performance every year. Music is played by the band and jazz band, dinner is served, and there is dancing for anyone who wants to participate. This tradiation started my senior year in high school. We did the first Mardi Gras show... not such a hit! It had grown each year and has become a tradition in the Harris family. This year was Mitchell's final year (he is Trevor's youngest brother).
