We went to the Hogle Zoo last weekend. It was such a nice day. It was almost exactly a year ago that we were there with our family and decided that we wanted to move home. We were sitting on the train and the strongest feeling came over Mat and I at the same time that it was just time to move home. And then we were actually home less than 1 month later. And we are so glad that we came back! I love being home and being able to spend so much time with family again!

Zak wanted his video on too, so here it is - He
is being Optimus Prime. He transforms all day.
He even taught Maddi how to do it.

Helping Daddy Clean

We moved into a house in Saratoga Springs on New Years Day. It turned out that it needed lots and lots and lots of cleaning still before it was ready to be lived in. So, we cleaned like crazy for about 5 days straight - Zak and Maddi were our big helpers. We were so exhausted by the time it was done, but it was well worth it - We love having all the extra room of a 3 story home, which we will need even more with one more on the way!

Madison doing Patti Cakes

This is a cute video I got of Maddi doing Patty Cakes and then showing off how she knows all her body parts (And of course you can't miss Zak trying to show off too)

I AM OPTIMUS PRIME

Zak is obsessed with Transformers. He got lots of them for Christmas, but this was the winner. It is a mask that changes his voice so he sounds like Optimus Prime. He wore it for days. He even fell asleep with it on a couple of times. I think he started to think that he actually was Optimus.

Fun in the Snow

We loved being back in the snow, and there sure was a lot of it this year!
