Phoenix Zoo

who knew a wolf could be so tall?

Last weekend we went to the Phoenix Zoo. It was Jaylee's first time visiting the zoo. This trip was inspired by a nightmare that Jaylee had the night before where she woke up sceaming because a monkey had bitten her. The girls had fun riding the camel and checking out all the animals. However, I remember why I havnt been to the zoo in over four years.... lets just say its not my favorite place.

Time Out For Women 2010

Yesterday most of us women from the Longhurst family were able to go to Time Out For Women. The last time I went was three years ago so it was great to go and get re-energized:) There is something about listening to other women tell of their own trials and life experiances that seem to make mine a little easier knowing that we are all going through this crazy life together.

pumpkin festival

last weekend we went to the pumpkin festival at Schnepf Farms where we had fun on the hay ride and haunted train ride. The girls rode all the little kiddy rides, got their faces painted, pet the animals at the petting zoo, and roasted marshmellows. Jaylee got chosen out of the croud to come to the front of the audience for the pig races. Her pig won the race so she was awarded with a pig nose:) We enjoyed yummy chili, grilled corn on the cob, and homemade pumpkin pie. The weather was great and im so excited to feel fall in the air:)

Jaylee turns four

Jaylee turned four on September 27th. Jaylee had fun celebrating her birthday with ALL of her cousins. They went swimming, had a pinata, Jaylees favorite cake (cheesecake), and of course presents:) Happy Birthday J-Bird!
