Spring Break

We went to the zoo! Titan loved every minute of the day and cant wait to go back. Ok he didn't say that but we can just tell. The zoo has a killer totally awesome splash pad and he loved that almost as much as feeding the giraffes.

This first picture is on the slide in the splash pad.

Is this the same slide that put that scary face on him in the last picture? He loved it despite the first picture.

We couldn't get him to actually smile for a picture...."I'm at the zoo people, I don't have time to smile for your camera." Here are some of the oh so handsome pictures of his faces.

He LOVED feeding the giraffes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only one adult can go because we didn't want to pay for another and Spence was the lucky one. He said that it was written all over his face how much he enjoyed it. When he got done (sick i know) he was licking his hand... like the giraffe did to get the food. We would ask him " what does a giraffe do?" and he would lick his hand. He thinks it's soooo funny!

Titan wanted to climb on everything. Don't worry we stopped him before he could fall in, but you better believe he wanted to go roll around with the tiger....nice tiger.....right?

The goat petting zoo is probably what made him think he could just go and pet any animal he saw. They have brushes there for the kids to use. Spence and I were obviously not paying very close attention because he comes back with a brush in hand and started to brush the goat all on his own. Quite observant!

We had a GREAT day at the zoo as a family! We can't wait to see what else our Super Spring Break weekend has in store for us! We hope you are having fun as well this week and oh ya...Happy St. Patrick's Day! (Everybody was wearing green at the zoo today.....except us! We will have to be more on top of our green game next year!)

sleepy swingin......

Titan received a swing from his grandparents for his birthday(11/11). They gave us the money and we took until "Santa" to actually order it and have delivered. So we thought it would be another big box to put under the tree since we were keepin it light this year. To sum it up Titan FINALLY has a swing hanging in his back yard. He absolutely LOVES this swing and constantly wants to be in it. This first picture is from last sunday. Always has a smile when he is in this swing!
Spencer and I usually take turns getting ready for church. While it was my turn to finish up because the boys were ready, Spence took him out to swing. A few minutes later he comes in to get me......sleepy little boy just couldnt take the morning any longer and needed a snooze.....

shifted positions and stayed asleep the whole time....the sadest part is that we had to wake him up to leave for church. Would have loved to see how long he would have stayed like this!!!!!

We cant get more than an hour nap in his bed....maybe we should try the "great outdoors"....we heard there is nothing more relaxing!

Out of Towners

With all of our family living so close, along with the fact that we get together so often, I have pretty much written off taking time to post on "this blog page" I set up a few years ago. I would love to blame it all on having a baby but the truth is I have been thinking about other things than sitting down to post a picture or story. A few things have change in the last month and we now have -out of towners- and I have strongly been encouraged to post more often for the sake of family. After some thought and motivation(her beating me to posting first)..I am going to begin....again!
I have not posted since having the cutest little boy named Titan Spencer Heywood. (Since this post is all about the -out of towners- I will go ahead and call him Big T.) His birthday is 11/11/2009 and yes that makes him just over one and did I mention BIG? He has been off of the charts since day one and there is no getting back on the charts in sight. He smiles a ton, sleeps a ton and _____ a ton! I'm quite convinced our diaper bill is double than most. He is one fantastic boy, we couldnt ask for anyone better. P.s. he weighed 8lbs. 15oz. Pictures will have to tell the rest. One last thing about him for now...he looks JUST like his Dad and LOVES his Dad.... I'm convinced more than me. However, when he is sick or hungry that is still in debate.

a few of his many food faces

1st swim

Loves the bath

Where to begin?

I feel like I need to start all over again because I have not posted in so long.....9 months.....is that too long? Some have hinted that I need to post more, so here it goes.

A little bit of R & R....

The summer was hot and being pregnant didnt help with that whole body tempurature thing. In August we decided to join my parents and my sister Ann's family at Lake Powell for a couple days. Cooling off and relaxing was just what we needed!

I had my mom buy me this raft before we went because I had every intention of floating the entire time we were there.

Thanks Dad & Mom for such a great trip!!!

California in a week....

Spencer just got done with a semester of school and has decided to do summer school. When summer school is over another semester begins. Then the baby comes in November....so....we decided to take a trip together. Just the two of us! We realized that all family vacations were pretty much out of the picture so we wanted to get away. Also get away one last time before the baby comes and enjoy our together time. We decided on California and the pictures will tell all.

The lake we decided to walk to...everybody else had bikes....wish we would have know.

Spencer's new tent.....HE LOVES IT!!!!

Last few minutes at yosemite...the mist from all the waterfalls really is sooo strong. It felt so good after hiking around all day.

Sonoma- wine country....BEAUTIFUL!

San Francisco
Alcatraz was a huge highlight to the trip. We both really enjoyed learning about it.
Out to lunch on the pier with the my grandparents that came into the city with us.
Ice cream shop....YUM!
Our cousins told us about this homeless bush guy and we found him....Had to take a picture!He was scaring people right and left it was hilarious!!!!
Oakland temple...best part of the week.We also went to the beach in L.A. but some how we didnt get any pictures while we were there. It was a fantastic trip and we are looking forward to many more memories to come.
