farrah fawcet goes to the zoo...
so exciting, my little sister is back in T-town and we invited her to go zooing with us on a gorgeous spring day. it was so fun. so glad we went early due to the unbelievable amount of people who showed up after us! couldn't she pass for a young farrah with those shades? funniest thing is they were my great grandmother's. emily and i share the same passion for era oleta's hand-me-downs. i have a bunch of her old jewelry and get the most compliments when i wear it.
wyatt remained calm as long as there were cheerios a'plenty.
the boys got these lovely handspun, llama bracelets. thanks BB the llama for sharing. glad they still allowed them one after tate sat down at a spinning wheel that was left unattended. :)
this was so cute. we are watching these elephants cool off and they were making there own mud hole and spraying water. tate noticed i was taking pictures and says (in his usual volume...loud) 'mom, you should put those on your blog!' this man standing close got a real kick out of that. sign of the times i guess :) us mommies and our blogs!
lane was showing his exhaustion and a soon after, hard hitting allergy headache.
thought these two pics were funny too. before ball practice, the boys were trying again to stand still for a picture. this may never happen again in my lifetime :)
i need spring break to last until summer!
i am grateful for so many things today. for last minute changes that worked out awesome, for family and friends who took time out to celebrate, for my photographer sister who i pray has better pics to choose from than my 8 i managed to take. i am also grateful for the internet so that grandpa ed and family can stay informed and so i can document such occasions. wyatt was not so sure about the new swing from granny at first, as you can see his brother were there for support and daddy was in charge of pushing slowly. i know he will love it eventually! this little boy was so tired when we came in from the beautiful outdoors where we enjoyed our miss ruby made cake. daddy brought him in the bathroom and while i was running the bath water, he rubbed his eye...so sleepy (and thankfully none was IN his eye). after gifts, it was time for a mega nap!! thank you Jesus for favor with the weather and blessings be to our sweet family. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE DUB!!
