Fun Fun Fun!!!

Tuesday, July 21st was Owen's 1st birthday! So, after work we headed to Layton for his birthday party. His party was at my mom's house and it was our family there to celebrate! Jamie had made him a cake, he had a bunch of gifts to open and he was super excited!

Jamie had made Owen a car cake. owen is a little obsessed with cars and balls. He knows how to drive a car and makes the sound as he does it. So, what better cake than a car cake! Our family tradition is for the first birthday we let them "dig in" Her other 3 kids had to be forced to grab it because of the wierd texture. But Owen wasn't scared! He dug right in and got very messy!

For his gift we bought him a very cute outfit with camo pants and a yellow shirt with a monkey on the front! Plus, we got him a car with four little animals in it that can come out and when you press them down it plays a song! He wouldn't leave it alone! He just wanted to keep pushing it around it was super cute!

After the party Taylor had a play performance. She has been in a summer play camp and they were performing Hairspray! It was super cute and you could tell she LOVED being up on stage! I don't think she stopped smiling once! She did an excellent job!

That night we slept over at my mom's place and jon decided to go rent the movie Push. Don' waste your time! HAHA I fell asleep about 20 minutes into it, and apparently I didn't miss much! My family said it was a pretty weird movie, way too many twists and turns to follow! But it was fun to hang out with them and sleep over!

The next day we all went to the Hogle Zoo! We LOVE going there! My sister has a large family pass so we go quite a bit! the kids love watching the brid show, Owen LOVES the bears, and I just love seeing all the animals and watching them play. Especially the monkeys! There was a new baby monkey and it was so crazy to watch this little thing swing from his tail!

The Eagle in front of the flag is a cool shot!

We also enjoyed seeing the rhinos! They were so close to the window that we were able to get some great shots!

Christian got a great picture of the Red panda

We had an excellent time hanging out with the family, going to the zoo, and celebrating Owen's birthday! I still can't believe he grew up that fast!!! He is super cute and fun! We really enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to hang out again!
