Zoo-itis

The other day, it was really nice outside, so we all (my sisters, their kids, and my mom) decided to go to the Phoenix Zoo.


Most of the group

A few of the kiddos may have missed school due to "zoo-itis" (it's extremely rare, don't worry) but hey, you only live once! I don't really even remember seeing any animals because I was distracted by my cute little niece Annie who is visiting from Utah.



When Annie is around, I seem to miss events going on around me. She is the funniest kid- I haven't gotten her to smile at me once (she is a very serious child). But she doesn't really cry either. She just sits there semi-content on my lap and pinches me while she lets me smooch her cheeks. And I love it!


Me and my girl Annie

After the zoo, we celebrated Hermana's (Jessica's) birthday in style!

Dustin, Me, and The Hermana

(I think this is the closest thing to a smile I have gotten out of her)

Well, we are off to San Diego for a "second look" at the residency program with UCSD. Happy Weekend Everyone!
