Petting Zoo Pals

With cameras, bug spray, and kids in tow,

we braved the Texas heat/humidity

to visit the {free} local

petting zoo with some sweet friends!

Libby Lou

Court Jackson, you are one handsome dude!

Addison found the goats more to her liking!

Staring at....water.

The ducks were hiding out in the shade!

You know it's hizz-ottie-H-O-T-T-I-E

when ducks hit the shade tree instead of their pond.

And I'll be a mOnKeY's UnCLe if our kids didn't have more fun walking these stumps. 

If they crossed them once, they crossed them 10 times. 

Even Levi, Gracyn, and Court braved the treacherous stump walk. 

Libby, poor girl, was the only one who lost her balance and sustained a slight injury. 

She was still a little shell-shocked from the injury and the

 deer attack in this photo...

We all walked away unscathed by the animals...

except for Libby's t-shirt which showed an actual

dental impression

from a deer who apparently eats

size 4T cotton tees for lunch!

Thank goodness the alligator on display was only plastic.

Spring Break

So this was Cade's To-Do list for his Spring Break...

We had a super time in Dallas over Spring Break

checking things off our "to-do" list.

And no where on there do I see

Give Mom some concentrated time on the computer,

which is why this Spring Break post is coming late!

Oh well, it was a fun week!!!

Here's a little peak...

Fun Fridays...FIELD TRIP!!!!

We arrived back in town yesterday {from a week of visiting family in Irving} just in time to attend Cade's first official preschool field trip of the year to the pumpkin patch! All four of us went last year and enjoyed it, so we were excited to be returning. Lo and behold would you believe who was the first person we saw after stepping out of our car? Our soccer coaches' sweet wife, Coach Amy and her son Landon were out and about manning the pumpkin fields and reading stories! How fun!

We really bundled up this year because a cold front moved in over night and our car temperature was reading 59 degrees on our way over! Brrrrr....bring it on FALL, we love you! Fall and spring are my two favorite seasons here in Texas. Mainly because I would not really classify our "winter" as an actual "winter"...especially when it's 70 degrees on Christmas Day and our summers just seem to be getting hotter and hotter every year! The fall air is so cool and crisp and always smells like rain and firewood to me :)

Fall, thank you for blowing in & refreshing my spirit!

Cade and Gracyn,

I had the best day with you today...

because of your beautiful spirits.

Fun Friday...one of our favorite places

Boogie on over to

THE WACO CHILDREN'S MUSEUM

Needing somewhere to let the kids roam when it's 112 degrees outside and you've

played with every toy in the toy box 10 times already in one day?

Let me recommend heading on over to your local children's museum!

We had an incredible time playing, learning, and goofing off together, when we

visited ours a few weeks ago with Aunt Manda.

Two stories of non-stop, hands-on activities for your kiddos

and

seriously frigid air conditioning for the mommas!

Like I said something for everyone.

Petting Zoo Pals

On Saturday morning my parents took the kids to a local petting zoo! The kids have never been to a true petting zoo before, so this was a new adventure for the foursome! But judging from the pictures and reports from Cade, we won't be strangers to the petting zoo anymore.
