Our Dog Teegs

This is our dog TEEGS!

We got Teegs from Petsmart's lost paws program almost two years ago.  

He is a beautiful golden retriever and a really good dog!  

We are NOT dog people...  Our kids have an unusual fear of dogs...

So why do we have a dog?  Good question!  

This is a question that David and I have asked ourselves over and over again.  Originally we got Teegs because we thought that if we had a dog of our own than the kids would overcome their fear of dogs.  They would realize that dogs are good!  Did this happen? No!  However whenever we suggest getting rid of Teegs and giving him to another family who loves dogs, the kids cry "No, we like Teegs.  We will play with him.  Don't give him away!"  So Teegs stays!  I guess he is apart of our family.  

In a stay outside kind of way!   

It really is hard to look at him and not love him.  He's a good dog!

Quite the Hottie!

Reagan found a pair of sun glasses from her birthday party last year.

We thought we would put them on Talan to see how he looked in them.  Turns out that he's Quite the Hottie!

Infamous Nyah

Nyah and Reagan

Playing under the kitchen table

with their candy necklaces on!

Nyah and Reagan had a little play date yesterday.  Reagan loves Nyah!  She thinks that she is the coolest person she has ever met.  Nyah is one year older than Reagan and Reagan really looks up to her.  Everything is always about Nyah.  "I want my hair long like Nyah!"  or "Let's play house and my name is Nyah."  or "This is my baby doll and her name is Nyah."  She has even named her stuffed animals Nyah!  She is pretty much obsessed with NYAH!

Nyah is a cute girl and we really like her.  We love her parents too!  So yesterday was a good day!  A day with Nyah!

More Snow

These are pictures of the kids coming home from school yesterday!  

Another snowy day in Utah!  No wonder my tulips are having a hard time coming out!

Yesterday was also Kite Day for the kindergarten. 

Needless to say, it was canceled!

Do you want to box?

The Hogle Zoo

On Friday, April 18th we went to The Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City.

We went with Jay and Vicky, Emily, Heidi, Elise, Luke, Vanessa, and Marcus, and Ruth Ann, Taylor, Russell and Benjamin.

We had a good time and really quite liked the Hogle Zoo!

Ethan, Elise, Carsten and Bradon checking out the giraffes.

Now that's one TALL giraffe!

Dang cute Adair kids! 

 Reagan, Bradon, Carsten and Ethan just hangin on a wire!

Oh yeah, and check out those camels in the background!

This peacock wanted to show off his feathers.  It was quite the show!

This is Emily and Heidi, Heidi is holding Marcus, and Luke and Vanessa are in the stroller.

Cute bunch huh?

The Living Planet Aquarium

Bradon, Carsten, Ethan, Reagan and Talan.

After going  to Classic Skate we went to The Living Planet Aquarium.

Ethan heard about the Aquarium at school and has just been dying to go!

It was actually pretty cool and the kids had a good time. 

Swimming with the Jellies!

(For some reason Reagan was afraid of the jellies so she wouldn't get in the picture.)

This is Reagan saying "Mom, it's just like in Little Mermaid!"

She was so excited!

When Talan finally woke up he was mesmerized by the fish tanks!

Ethan found a secret door! 

He first noticed the key hole and then he noticed that it was  door!

This was all VERY exciting!

 Carsten liked looking at the stingrays!  But he had no interest in touching them!

Reagan climbed up to this little pedestal and just sat there.

She loved it for some reason.

Bradon loved the stingrays!  He wanted to touch one so bad!

After going back to the tank time and time again, he finally touched one!

Classic Skate

Reagan is so cute!

You should have seen her at Classic Skate!

She did her little scooter around and around the skate rink most of the time.

She was in her element!  I asked if she wanted to eat and she said "No, I want to ride my scooter!"  At one point a boy ran over her and she was crying.  I ran out to her and asked her if she wanted to take a break for awhile and she said "No, I want to ride my scooter!"

I tried to get an action shot of her riding but my camera was too slow.  Dang she was cute out there!

Bradon has some pretty good scooter skills!

He and his friends were off and running the whole time we were there.

By the time we left his hair was all wet with sweat!

Ethan had a good time at Classic Skate.

He helped me out a lot with Reagan.  He took her on the bouncy houses, in the jungle play place and did the arcade games with her.  I don't know what I would do without my big helper  Ethan!

By the end he was wheezing and we had to go do a treatment in the car!

Carsten is so darn fast that I couldn't get a picture of him until he stopped to eat.

He had a great time too!  He and his little friends stayed busy playing and having fun the whole time!

For a spring break activity we went to Classic Skate with our neighbors, The Gregory's.  

They have 4 boys and 1 girl just like us.  The kids have a good time playing with them!
