Fun week!


This week has been fun. It was Zeign's first birthday on March 28th. We took him to the Living Planet Aquarium and he loved it! It was so cute he couldn't get enough of the fish. He was so giggly and happy the whole time. Here are a series of pictures me and John took of all of us there together.





this is one of my favorites!


They had penguins they were feeding right then but it was really crowded. Don't go on a saturday.




John teaching them about the animals.


Norah showing off her new toy from the gift shop.


Zeign opening his gifts.


He got his very own cake. Here everyone is trying to teach him how to blow out the candles.



He ate the WHOLE cake! Talk about a sugar high.


On Sunday was Alice's blessing. She is getting so big and she is so cute! Shawn did a really good job on the blessing. I don't know if its mainly because of being pregnant or the spirit was really strong but I pretty much cried thru all of sacrament meeting.. I can't wait to be sitting in sacrament listening to John give our baby girl her blessing.


On Friday we went to my mission reunion. Not a lot of missionaries came that I served with, but it was really nice to see Pres. and Sister Smith!


and Kathy (Biddle) and Julianne (Farley).
