Lets Go To The Zoo!

This past Saturday was the first really pretty day in a while, so we decided that we would have a picnic at the zoo to enjoy it more.

Caden's ready!

Gracie's ready!

Brenna's ...well she had to eat a bottle on the way to the zoo to get ready.

I think he was deep in thought, but definitely ready :)

I'm ready!

They look so cute in their hats! I love how cute Caden looksin his rain boots and hat that pushes his ears out!

Sandwiches, chips, apples sauce and cookies. Not a bad lunch!

On to see the animals!

My little monkeys!

They LOVE the bridge over the giraffe's home. (who doesn't?)

Brenna saw everything from her stroller and was so good. She was happy the whole time!

It was a bit windy, but they didn't care at all!

The lion family. There are 5 cubs along with the parents.

Caden likes to help out with the stoller.

It was such a nice day and we really enjoyed being outside looking at the animals. We'll have to get a season pass so we can do it more often! :)

So far...

I haven't gotten just a whole lot of pictures this year (it's only 1/11/11 hehe) but I wanted to share a few.

4 of my favorite people!


Please excuse the fact that I'm not dressed and have no make up on. I don't argue when Jason offers to take our picture. As you can see, I'm pretty proud of my kiddos!

My pretty girl!

Who knows what he's thinking. :)

She likes to stand up on her own for a few seconds at a time. She likes her walker OK, but she loves to hold mom's fingers and walk around the house. She is SUCH a momma's girl right now. If I walk by her and don't pick her up, she starts crying. When she's playing in the floor happily and I leave the room, she cries. If Jason is holding her and she sees me go by and I don't get her, she cries. I'm in trouble.

This is her Christmas dress, not her texas tech dress ... just so ya know, Mandi... and Holly... and Steph.. and, we have too many tech friends! jk :)

I love her little red coat!

Poor Jason! He sprained his ankle playing basketball at church! He couldn't walk on it at all, I had to help him get inside the house. Thankfully, Wes and Holly let us borrow some crutches so he could get around. Thanks guys! He is NOT one of those people who doesn't mind sitting around, even for an evening.


This is the first night after a couple of hours of elevation and ice. We had to get an x-ray the next day to make sure it wasn't broken. He's already doing better today. I'm sure he won't wear his cast/walking boot for a whole 6 weeks like he's supposed to.
