Fun & Pictures

I have been terrible at downloading pictures off of our camera lately. So, here are probably way more than you want to look at, but if you do look at them, you're a true blogger buddy! :o) We've had lots of fun these past few weeks staying busy and enjoying the great weather.

Great Grandma's Visit

As you can see, Syd was closing in on nap time in this photo.

Paul's Triathlons

I've been so proud of how Paul has committed to training for these races. Swimming, biking, and running one right after the other does not sound like MY kind of fun, but Paul loves it and does a great job at it. Triathlons come with really cool outfits too...HA!

YAY for Daddy!

Way to go Daddy!

A Mini-Vacation

Paul & I got to go spend the night at a place out by Glen Rose called Rough Creek Lodge. It was nice to get away...even if only for one night. Obviously we took self-portraits as there was really no one else around to take them.

Easter

We had a great Easter this year celebrating our risen Jesus! I especially loved that Gracie Claire understood so much more this year. We made a point to really push that Easter isn't about the bunny and eggs, but that it's the day that we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead. She especially loved watching Veggie Tales "Easter Carol." My sweet Sydney liked watching too, but much preferred getting into the eggs!

The Zoo

In the last two weeks, we've been to the zoo three times!! We loved it every single time. I am so loving that the weather is finally getting warm enough to spend lots of time outside. We went with some of our most favorite friends!

Gracie Claire and one of her favorite friends Emmerson.

Me and my Girls

We had fun with Bennett and Jennifer on our second trip. Sydney's pointing at the tiger in this picture. :o)

Fun Friends

Cool Sun Bear Mommy

Gracie Claire loved the reptile house...yuck!

If you haven't seen the real crocodile in the Texas section yet, it's amazing...HUGE! It was right at the glass when we saw it with it's mouth hanging wide open.

Hi Mommy!

The turtles are cool!

On our third trip we went with Gracie Claire's best friend Claire. Sydney and Luke were there too, of course.

So Sweet

Hangin' out in the wagon.

Sweet Friends

Sydney was so awesome on all of our zoo visits. Having to miss regular nap time isn't so easy sometimes, but she was SO good!!!

If you've made it this far...I just want to say that I do know how to make slide shows, collages, and such, but didn't really have the motivation after downloading and organizing 170 pictures. I hope you didn't mind scrolling!! :o)

p.s. I just realized that I mentioned the girls' friends, but we also got to spend time with some of MY most favorite friends too. I love hanging out with Emily, Jennifer, and Becky...let me know if you ever get sick of me girls. ;o)
