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.

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!

New Outfits

Emma's mom is a wiz at making clothes and we've been spoiled by her talents a couple times now and I jut wanted to post pictures of her latest gifts that she sent our way. These beautiful summer outfits are SO adorable and fit Liv perfectly. I can't wait till it's warm enough again for her to wear them, stupid rain!!!

Pretty Dress & Hat












There are ruffles down the back it's SO cute!













A one-piece jumper












I love the pokadot fabric of this one!!!

Blinkie Shoes

Olivia just got her first pair of blinkie shoes the other day. She thought they were pretty cool, I took them out of the box and showed her that they blinked when you hit them with your hands, so of course she was hitting them all over everything, so I figured it was safer for me to put them on her feet instead, she had a blast running around the house trying to watch the blinking lights hahaha.









Gimli trying to check out her shoes too.
