They were hungry!

We went to the zoo again today with some friends and had a great time.  And the Giraffes were hungry!!!

Park with Friends!

Our good friends Ryan and Ali and their adorable daughter Kyrah were in town for their spring break.
We met at the park and the kids had a fun time enjoying the beautiful St Patty’s Day weather.

Kyrah wasn’t too sure about her daddy putting her that high in the air on the swing.

Since Adalyn was on Braedyn’s lap, Kyrah went and sat on Prestyn’s.

I gave up on attempting pictures at this point so I hope Aly was able to get at least one of them all looking!

Self Portrait?

Braedyn 
This kid is always grabbing my camera and filling up memory cards full of complete 5yr old randomness. 
I always look through them and occasionally find some worth keeping before I delete the others.  This one was definitely a keeper!

ZOO! (Picture OVERload)

Braedyn’s on Spring Break for TWO weeks so last Monday I took the kids with me to have lunch with two old friends from work.  Since they were all so unbelievably well behaved (and no, I am NOT being sarcastic), we decided to spend the afternoon at the Zoo.  I went ahead and bought a membership to the Zoo so we will be going often.  The weather was gorgeous!

They "attempted” to feed the Giraffe’s.  But since we didn’t get there until about 2pm, they were not hungry anymore.

AND we are going to the Zoo again this week with Gramma and some friends!

First Set of (hand me down) Wheels

A nice day last Sunday landed us outside.  The boys rode their bikes around the track and picked up bottles and such to recycle.
Adalyn took a test drive in Braedyn first car that Prestyn used and now she can use.  We might need to change the “Boys Rule” license plate on the back though!
