Daily Photo–May 21st

We went to the zoo a week ago with my friend from Denver. She only lives an hour from me, but we rarely get a chance to hang out. We went to the zoo last year too, it’s a good place for us to meet up. Didn’t get any pictures of all of us this time, the kids (and the mommies) were pretty done by the time we left.

Trying to get my kids to pose in front of the snake proved challenging this time.

Can’t wait until next time when I’ll get to meet her new little one! (She’s due in 3 weeks)

Mommy Monday - Zoo

Last week, I made it to the zoo for my "biannual get-together" with my friend Eileen. It was a really nice day, much warmer than we expected. Here are a few of the highlights:

I like how none of the kids are looking at the camera in this picture. But hey, we're all 5 in it, right?

Yeah, the tiger was REALLY close to the glass

"Kahlen, what's wrong?"

"That's the face the fish is making, mommy!"

I'm making a series of pictures by this snake (inside Tropical Discovery). I have one from nearly every time I've taken my kid(s) to the zoo.

"Kahlen, if you get in the car without arguing or complaining, we can stop and get dessert"

I love having a zoo membership! My son has already been 3 times and he's only 8 months old! Not something we can do all the time since it does take an hour to get there, but definitely fun. It is nice to go in the winter too, it was a very low attendance day when we went, perfect!

PS if you think of it and feel so inclined, you could pray for my son. He STILL has SIX teeth coming in and now he also has a cold that's giving him a fever and making him miserable, poor little man :(

Happy Birthday, Kahlen!

Happy Third Birthday, darling girl!

We had a great time at the zoo today














and playing with some of your birthday presents (like Candy Land)





Here's the video for Kahlen's third year for those of you who missed it:



Now that you're three, you don't need your paci anymore. You can get dressed by yourself. You know four bible verses. You are kind and sharing to your family and your friends. We love you and can't wait to see what more amazing things you learn in the next year!
