Carter talking to Daddy on the phone

So Carter was playing with the phone today and I said say hi to daddy. And much to my surprise he did! LOL So these were my attempts at catching him saying it. Somewhat successful...







The Zoo with Friends...

We went to the Zoo today with Ryan, Amanda, Bryce and baby medernach. We had a great time, and great weather.


This was near the end when the kids were pretty tired, but we still had a lot of fun!














hahaha, we figured there must have been one heck of a party the nite before, cause the Koalas and the gorilla's looked hungover. The gorilla's were sleeping in wheelbarrows and then there was this little guy. We couldn't help but laugh, so cute.














ugh! I shouldn't complain cause at least their gone, but cy has said every time that we come that he should have brought our ginormous jar of pennies, well....today he did, he made a huge racket pouring them into the wishing well, but at least their gone, and the kids had fun watching too!














I had to take a picture of these scary looking......turkey vultures? no, that's not it, I'm not sure what they are, but they were pretty ugly but I had to laugh cause Amanda told me that they've had one of them chase them before.....I'd run screaming for sure!!!












A pretty flower!











The baby gorilla...he's so cute!











Almost doing the thinking pose.

Aly's 3rd Birthday

We went to Trav and Michelle's last weekend to celebrate Alyssa's 3rd birthday, we all had a great time!


Decorating Olivia's Crown












Decorating Bryce's Pirate Hat












My beautiful mermaid!














We were laughing so hard at the girls, they were standing in the tubes waiting with grass in their hands, then they'd pull them down and throw grass at each other, it was so funny!












Ready, Set, Throw!!















Emerson's Audition for UP!














Carter cruising in the wheel barrow














Carter didn't like his pirate hat, but we thought he looked so cute!

The Birthday Girl











While Aly was opening gifts, Olivia took all the stickers off her crown and decorated herself, she was very "pitty mommy!...yook...farkles!"














So we bet the guys that they couldn't fit thru the tunnel on the kids play fort....they accepted!
Cy fit.

Trav no problem!












Pretty mermaid Danika!

First Corn of the Season

For mothers day dinner mommy wanted kabobs and corn on the cob. And we were pleasantly surprised that the corn was rather tasty! Growing up corn on the cob is a memory that I associate with summer and I can't wait for the backyard bbq's to start!























Pig Tails.....FINALLY!

Olivia's hair is finally starting to get long enough to hold elastics, so I was SO excited to buy her some cute flowery ones, now maybe people will stop asking if she's a boy or a girl!

Bucket Heads!

Um ya....ok! hahaha!



























A Trip to the Park

The kids are loving the time we can spend outside now that the weather is getting nicer and it's lighter for longer in the evenings.













































































Spring Cleanup

So we had the first nice weekend and we decided to pull out all the summer toys from the garage including Olivia's bike, what a hit!! It's so exciting to get the outside ready for summer!! WOO HOO!
