This town may not have much – like one mall, one movie theater, and the smallest Target ever. But at least it has a zoo. It’s definitely not the biggest or have the most impressive creatures but it makes for good family entertainment.
Lily LOVED the turtles. She ran back and forth chasing them around the tank.

LOVE these two!!
We pulled out the play dough for the first time. I’ve had these Easter egg favors rolling around for years just waiting for the perfect time to break them open and let these little fingers squish like crazy.
We made a family of butterflies. Whenever we make or draw anything it usually involves a Mom, Dad, and a baby.
Matt came to the decision that moving the aquarium was going to be too much stress for him to try and keep everything alive and have to set it up again right when we got to our new place. He posted it on craigslist (for an amazingly cheap deal) and two days later it was being emptied into buckets and put into some guy’s SUV. Matt gave him EVERYTHING, including all his custom-made filters and watering systems, and the storage cabinet too. I hope this guy appreciates what an awesome deal he got on our aquarium. We easily spent 10 times what he sold it for! Anyway, it’s gone now, and all we have left are the pictures I took. Farewell beautiful aquarium. I’m sure we’ll miss you a lot this winter when it’ll be too cold to go outside and we have little to entertain us.
Our little tooth fairy.
We heard about a trunk-or-treat going on and decided to go since I didn’t want her cute costume to go to waste and two of Matt’s partners would be there.
We ate yummy chili and cornbread and Lily had fun playing the carnival games for little prizes.
Who would have guessed that the scary fingers would be her favorite prize. She loves chasing us around and tickling us with them.
She also got her first experience of trick or treating and loved getting candy. She definitely loves sugar!

A bunch of the Chapman clan came to Denver to celebrate baby Jacob’s blessing day. On Friday we went to the Museum of Nature and Science. The kids always have a great time and we were able to see a new travelling exhibit. It was really cool with robotic dinosaurs that interact with you. They wouldn’t let us take pictures so you just have to believe me that it was awesome.
The girls loved playing together.
Jaycee, you totally rock the morning bed head!
On Friday night and Saturday all the moms got to go to Time Out For Women, a women’s conference put on by Deseret Book. It was so nice for all of us to get a break and be inspired by some amazing people. The guys got to hang out with the girls. We were told they had a great time going to the fish store, eating pizza and playing at the McDonald’s play place. We are so lucky to have such great guys in our lives.
Sunday we listened to Dan give his baby boy a beautiful blessing and have lots of family time together. For some reason I didn’t bring my camera so I don’t have any pictures of cute little Jacob in his adorable white outfit.
