Mae and Jason are in town for the holiday weekend, and this morning we took all the kids to the Dinosaur Park up in Ogden:
I thought this was cool: they had a lot of buildings with dinos on them:

This one is getting ready to eat her babies or something..... that or is protecting them. I forget which.

The whole gang exploring the park:

Rachel was our tour guide. (Mostly she just tried to eat the map)

Rachel just kickin' it in her stroller:

Watch out for the worlds most dangerous creature! (and her mommy standing close by to make sure she wouldn't fall over)


Rachel and Tori:

Dinosaur-back riding in the playground:

This Brontosaurus doubled as a seagull perch. He didn't seem to mind.

Rachel Video!!!

Each day Rachel becomes more and more mobile. Getting her diapered and dressed has become increasinglly challenging. (See video below) Basically, unless she is sleeping, Rachel never holds still. She just keeps going, and going, and going and going...........



In other Lloyd family news...
Rachel sprouted her first two teeth last week. (We'd post a picture of them, but she doesn't let people look at them) We can feel them on the bottom and occasionaly get a glimpse of them when she is smiling really big!

Also, Friday was Victoria's last day of work at the Credit Union. She opted for early retirement so that she could spend more time chasing Rachel around the house. Rachel and I are so proud of her. Way to go Tori!!!

Yesterday Rachel got impatient waiting for her daddy to find a spoon to feed her, so she took matters into her own hands:

Her performance earned her an impromptu shower in Grandma Lloyd's kitchen sink:

I was freezing cold this morning when we took Matt to his soccer game. (The Uncle Matt and Uncle Cameron are staying with us for the weekend because Grandma and Grandpa went to Melinda and Caleb's graduation.) Daddy forgot to bring a blanket for me, so I had to take refuge in Daddy's jacket until the lady next to us shared an extra blanket - which I spit up on.

Its official.... I met with my advisor and registered for classes at Weber State University yesterday.

I'm majoring in construction management and should be able to finish in 2 1/2 years taking evening and online classes, which will be nice since I'll still be able to work full-time and Hamlet is paying for it.
