Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

Woke up last night at 2 am to find that I had pink eye in my right eye (the opposite eye from the tear duct problems). I've also been coughing a bunch and my throat hurts so bad :(. This is not our week! haha.

In the morning, Marty took Emi to swim lessons so I could sleep in a bit longer, and then we got ready and headed out to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. Our friends, Katye and Matt, have passes there and offered to use their guest passes to take us so this has been on the calendar for a bit. And you have to reserve a zoo entry time ahead of time so we didn't want to bail when they were being so nice to let us come! I warned them about the pink eye (I'm hoping my throat isn't contagious at this point?) and they said they didn't mind if we came as long as we were a little cautious.

It turned out to be a lot of fun. The zoo is literally on a mountain which is really neat. And Emi's finally at the age where she's starting to notice the animals which makes it more exciting. We enjoyed just chatting and catching up. This was a fun way to spend a Saturday!

Emi and Dad.

Look at these posh babies!

I figured I'd be pregnant within the first few months of the new year, but nope. God had other plans. I was called as YW President in January (a shock to everyone including me!) and that consumed a lot of my time and energy throughout the year. It's been a rewarding experience.  I started weight training for the first time in my life and discovered that I really loved it. Last December, HR closed their rec center childcare and I was crushed because that meant I could no longer go to their daytime classes. I thought nothing could compare to those classes. But I was so wrong. I have loved the cardio/weight training at Chuze and have loved going to classes with my friends several days each w...

Baby #2

 And baby #2 is a... GIRL! Bring on the pink. Marty's not a huge fan of gender reveals...but I thought it'd be fun to do a little something. I ended up bringing pink donuts to YWs and surprising the girls. The girls gave me all the reactions I had hoped for ;)
