A Trip to the Dallas Zoo

We made a last minute decision to take a family outing to the Dallas Zoo last weekend.  We had never taken the kids and they loved it!

She is definitely my daughter because she carried the map all day and lead us around to the different animal exhibits.


Loved watching the penguins swim!



Grandad Sherman came with us





  



Brody's Favorite part of the day was riding the little train!

This and That

Here's a little random catch up on the last few weeks from my phone.
Daylight Savings Time is no fun with kids.  They are up at the crack of dawn and ready to take naps by 10 a.m.! This is how I found them one morning when they were supposed to be playing in Brody's room.

Harper has had Emmerson over to play several times after school and they love playing dress up.

These two love to snuggle in bed so daddy can get a few more minutes of sleep.

Walker is 5 months old now and everything goes straight to his mouth!

My dad, Jeff and I spent one weekend replacing our fence. There is something therapeutic about using power tools. I'm so thankful for my Dad who is a wonderful carpenter / engineer / tool man!

Sweet brothers.

Somehow we got on every toy catalog mailing list and I feel like a different one comes every other day in the mail.  Harper loves looking through them and creating her lists.

Construction Worker Brody is a normal site around our house.

This guy loves the Exercauser.  We just move it from room to room for him to hang out in it while the big kids play.

After Halloween our Dentist office did a candy buy back program.  I let the kids go through all of their candy and each pick 10 things to keep. Mommy had to keep a few of the good chocolate also.  Then the rest went to the Dentist office.  They each got a few dollars for their candy and then they mail it all overseas to our Troops. A win win for everyone.

Birthday Carnival

Natalie pulled off a surprise party for Amory's 30th Birthday. She did a carnival theme and the weather was perfect to be outside all day.  I unfortunately didn't get any pics of the birthday boy.
  
They loved the pinata.

Waiting patiently for their turn.

Cousin Time

Rhonda and Rylee came to town Halloween weekend.  We enjoyed our visit with them.  Friday morning before taking the kids to preschool we went to the Marcus pep rally. Rhonda is a Marcus grad as well.

We enjoyed a nice lunch on the Chipotle patio while Harper was at school. Brody wanted to help feed Rylee.



Our crew!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from the boys!

The kids enjoyed trick or treating with Jeff and Grandad.  I stayed home with Walker.

  
The first thing they did was walk in the front door and dump out all of their candy and start trading.  I remember doing this with my sisters when we were little.
 

A little tired...
