Just Monkeying Around

We decided to take Boston to the Hogle Zoo on Saturday. This was our second attempt at this. Last year the trip lasted about 5 minutes; then Boston broke out in a horrible rash and I rushed out talking to a nurse the entire trip home. So, I finally got up the guts to attempt it again. I was so glad JT could go with us and we could just do something as a family. Boston seemed to like it okay, but the funny thing is his favorite part of the trip was the Momma duck and all her little ducklings following her. Jt said, "we should have just gone to a pond!" Boston did like the Ape though. Well.. he liked him when he was napping; when that big Monkey woke up Boston didn't know what to think and decided it was time to go. Another favorite of Boston's was the elephants. He loved the carousel and could hardly stand to wait in line. The train was unfortunately broken, and that was one thing I had really been looking forward to, oh well. We also went to the bird show and Boston thought it was pretty cool about half the time. After a couple hours though, and all the sun, Boston was pooped. He didn't even make it to Foothill drive before he was fast asleep. Ofcourse the nap only last about 1/2 an hour, but that's my kid for ya.
Father's day was great.. well I thought it was great because JT let me take 2 naps! ( I am so tired these days being in my last trimester and waking up at 3am. If you are around me at all you've heard me complain a million times!) Poor JT has to live with me!! Anyway, we made German pancakes and eggs for breakfast and since it was Stake Conference (which JT and I translate to "skip church day" because we're great Mormon's like that!) we organized Jocey's room a bit and just enjoyed being together as a family. JT and Boston also participated in another great "Sunday" activity of playing in the water out back. It may have not been the "Holiest" of things to do, but it was so wonderful watching my boys play together. I worry Boston will become an instant Daddy's boy when Jocelyn is born, so I guess I better enjoy every moment I have with him pulling me around and cuddling and freaking out when I leave the room!
One last note... I hope JT and my Dad know how much I love them and what amazing Father's I think they are. Growing up everyone would always tell me how lucky I was to have my Dad for my Dad and now they tell me how lucky I am to have JT as a husband. I know it is so true and I feel bad that I totally take for granted just how great they are. I am spoiled rotten. JT is always so willing to watch Boston or help me around the house with anything. He never tells me "no." Even the neighbors talk how I've got him wrapped around my little finger. Trust me, he doesn't always agree with me and I know I push him to his breaking point fairly often. I appreciate him sticking by my side through thick and thin and I hope he knows he is the Best thing that ever happened to me. I am so grateful to have him as my husband and the father of our children.
