Zooby Family

(random photos from December)

During the recent snowstorm, Mike was on and off the phone for hours on end dispatching and coordinating the snow removal crews. Sunday morning was just a normal Sunday morning for us. Even with an earlier than usual church time due to Stake Conference, things were rolling along quite smoothly. Mike continued to be on and off of the phone, and was doing quite well multi-tasking between phone calls, flipping hash-browns and frying sausage.

I was in and out of the kitchen when I could hear words such as "home", "five", "range from 11 to 9 months." What is he talking about I wonder? When for the previous 24 hours I've heard nothing but snow removal lingo.

The phone call ended. My questions began. Who was that? And what were you talking about?

"Oh it was Mark. He asked where I was, because he thought it sounded like the zoo in the background."

I chose not to be offended.

My house. Five children. Getting ready for church.
Really? I think. A zoo?
And I thought the morning was going quite well.

I've wondered since, how many children does this Mark guy have?

Oh. That's right.

NONE

  1. When I saw this post title and looked at the photo's I tried to put it all together.... of course baby Drew does look like is in a cage (under the chair). Great post, I LOL!!! I think that the "Zooby's" are a pretty lucky family, and I'm sure glad that I know them.

  2. Our house sounds like a zoo quite a bit, and we only have two. Besides, zoo's are happy places, right!?

  3. I'd be more afraid if it was silent!

  4. Everyone gets excited to go to the zoo! It usually means fun family time, togetherness, laughs and memories made.

  5. I agree with Amiee. I love the picture of Drew. He looks a bit frightened.

  6. My mother would say that she felt like home was one giant wrestling match and she was the referee .... a zoo sounds like a lot more fun than a wrestling match.

  7. I was scaredf or a moment - I've always known a "zooby" to be a BYU student. I couldn't imagine what would've happened in your house to have needed a headline like that! :) Oh, a bunch of noisy kids, just a day in the life!
