Hogle Zoo, Rodeo, and Puppies!

The weekend of the 24th Brandon, Brooklyn and I headed down to SLC to visit our friends, Landon and Amanda. We had such a good time! We miss having them live right down the street in Logan, so we have to go to SLC sometimes to visit. :)We all went to Hogle Zoo! One fun thing that came from Brooklyn's NICU stay is that we get 10 free tickets each time we go to Hogle Zoo, for life! I know right, the NICU really takes good care of their families and babies that come there. Brooklyn pretty much slept through the whole Zoo trip, but woke up just in time for the train ride.We ran into some of Brandons family while we were there. The David and Becky May's family were up from Overton, Nevada. It was good to see them. Brandon and I were like little kids! Since Brooklyn was sleeping someone had to fill the role. :) Our favorites were the giraffes, black bears, penguins, monkeys and of course the elephants!
Amanda and I made some tu-tu's for Brooklyn. They were so easy and turned out super cute. We also bought tickets to SYTYCD when it comes on tour to Utah!! I'm am so excited to go!!
On the 30th of July we went with our friends Penny and Colby Jensen to the Famous Preston Night Rodeo. (Famous because it was the first night time rodeo!) The rodeo was so fun. Our seats were right next to the shoots and fence so they were pretty much the best you could get. It did make me a little bit nervous for Brooklyn when the bulls would come slamming into the fence!
On the 31st of July at 8:00am Maggie had her first puppy!! Four hours later she was done and we now have five cute little Shih Tzu puppies! There are three girls and two boys. The little runt is so tiny. Maggie never leaves them. We have to pick her up and take her to the bathroom outside, because she won't leave the box of puppies. Guess those motherly instincts have kicked in over drive. You really have to see them. They are so cute! Brooklyn just stares at them and smiles as they wiggle around. Our place has now turned into baby mania!
