Matt, Bradie and Brady bought some food to feed the geese and ducks. Well....it just so happens geese are VERY mean! So they all got snapped at and Brady was almost bleeding from one!! Really funny....but finally we found one that was nice and let us feed him. There were a lot of animals at the zoo. Huge turtles, tigers, lions, monkey's, Rhino, camel, giraffe, etc....But the best part of the whole day was when we got to feed the giraffe's! It was so awesome, they have a LONG tongue!!!!! Here are just a few pictures of the great day we had today...

What a sweet day we had today...us and the Cranes went to the Birmingham Zoo which is only about 15 minutes away from our apartments. It was the best day we could have gone because it wasn't too hot. We saw a lot of cool animals and enjoyed the beautiful world around us. We are so grateful to be able to see these wonderful animals. The only thing we wanted to see that we didn't were grizzly bears and of course...white tail deer (Matt was dying to see one, he's having hunting withdrawl).

What a FUN 4th of July we had. After Brady and Matt got off work we all went and ate at the Cheesecake factory....it was so fun since we had never been there. Afterwards we all gathered our fireworks and used them in our apartment parking lot. In Alabama they don't have too many rules about big fireworks, the only rule is basically don't shoot fireworks next to gas stations, so we had our own firework show and also roman candle fight! It was so much fun to get together and celebrate a wonderful holiday with great friends.

We went to Six Flags last weekend with a bunch of friends from APX! The rollar coasters were awesome! The best ride was Goliath which had two 17 story drops! Our other favorites were Batman, Superman, Goliath and the fun water loving boat ride. We had such a great time!!!!

Matt and I hard at work in Talladega!!! We got to see the race track in Talladega where they filmed Talladega Nights!!!!

Here is a picture of our apartment in Birmingham. We are in an upstairs apartment at the Springs so we really love it! I spend all day here since Matt is always working!

This is Rocky! Matt and I found him stranded on the highway in Georgia and we had to save him! He road with us all day long. We let him out for a while and he can run so fast! But in the end we let him go because we can't have pets...:(

Our apartment is right by a beautiful lake called Lake Purdy. So Matt got a fishing license and we were able to go fishing! We've never caught anything over a one pounder...but it's still fun!

Fun day at the beach in Jacksonville, Florida!!! Here in Georgia we only live about 2 hours away from the ocean. We played until dark!

Here's the whole gang at Applebee's for Matt's birthday dinner. Happy 24th Birthday Matt!

Matt's birthday was a blast! After work we invited everyone and had strawberry shortcake for dessert!

We went out to eat with some friends after a long hard day of work. We are staying in the motel right behind this restaurant.

What a beautiful temple they have here in Birmingham. The temple is very small, but still very pretty!

We had so many pretty views on our four-wheeler ride! This was one of them on 7-mile Rim and it was beautiful!

We went to Moab with some friends this last weekend and we had so much fun! It was our last little get away before the summer. We were on the four-wheelers for a total of about 8 hours in one day! Needless to say, our butt cheeks are a little sore!

Hey everyone! We are starting a blog because this summer we will be gone to Alabama! We will post pictures of our wonderful time there and we hope to keep in touch with everyone back in Utah...

Matt and I were married on August 9, 2008. We love married life and are so happy to be together!
