Devon's Birthday Party

(A few of these pictures are obviously not from Devon's actual party.)  Lizzy was trying on Daddy's head set that he uses to play Xbox Live.
 Devon is showing off some of his birthday gifts. He got this board game called Who Shook Hook? and in the bottom picture he is holding a figurine from the Jake and the Never Land Pirates set and he's playing with the aircraft from The Avengers.

 Devon had lots of fun at his party! We invited family and friends to have cake and ice cream and play games.
 In the photo above, Devon just opened a Spongebob Lego set that he's been asking for since his last birthday.

 Aunt Ashley got him some sidewalk chalk and Aunt Emily got him these Jake slippers.





 I took this picture to show the rings that Lizzy put on her little brother's legs and arms.
 Devon had a Star Wars themed birthday party. He requested chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.

The Museum of Ancient Life

 We went to the museum on Labor Day. It is in Lehi, UT. We have wanted to go for awhile and finally decided to do it. There were a lot of neat activities for kids to do, which I hadn't realized beforehand. The kids enjoyed the museum more than the zoo because of that.




 This was a full size Brachiosaurus. It was huge!

 Devon knew this was a Triceratops. He has been watching The Land Before Time. :)


 I'd be freaking out way more than this if that thing was real!

 Little archaeologists!


Temple Square

 After visiting Temple Square, we ate at the Lion House Pantry. Yum!






More Zoo Pics

 We were told that female eagles are actually larger than male ones. I did not know that.

 While Lizzy was riding on the wolf she said, "This is like the wolves in the movie you watch, Mom." (AKA Twilight) :)



 The tiger was so fun to watch. He was all over the place!


 These are Lego penguins. They were so neat looking.


 The polar bear was Devon's favorite. He was very entertaining.
