The perfect afternoon at the zoo....

the weather was perfect yesterday, so when the kids woke up from their naps we headed out to the zoo!

Riding in the wagon...this did NOT last long!

She loved the flamingos.

He was good with looking and touching the skeleton of a jaguar...oh up until the girl holding it started making it look like it was opening it's mouth and then GAME OVER!

The Lion roared at us the whole time we were at his cage...pretty cool!

The Murphy's

Sassy little thing!

The Grace Museum

So what do you do when it is raining on your Spring Break??? You get together with some of your best girl friends and their kiddos and you find a place inside to let them run around. That is just what we did today. We took the kids to the Grace and let them get some energy out. They had a blast and it was really nice to get to visit with friends.

This was Wyatt's favorite place...the ambulance!

He didn't care at all that it was filled with BIG kids!

" See!" He was very insistent that the bigger kids listen to him..don't think he has a shy bone in him.

Maddie climbing inside a tree.

He did venture over to where there is a place for smaller kids and that lasted all of 2 min before he was back to the ambulance.

Peek-a-boo Carson!

He loved "driving" the ambulance.

Pretending to "hep" someone.

***hopefully the sun will come out later this week and we can go to the zoo!

Happy Birthday, Uncle Webb

Celebrating Webb's birthday is always a reminder that Nick and I's birthday is right around the corner...and this year it means we are all turning the big 3-0! Last night, Kristi cooked a great dinner and we enjoyed celebrating with family.
Happy Birthday Webb!

She is a very graceful and beautiful little ballerina.These pictures are from wednesday night...she was "the queen" that night and all the little girls had to curtsy to her.

Getting warmed up!

Our First Sleepover

Our nephew, Carson, stayed the night for the first time last weekend. The kids were so excited to have him here and we enjoyed getting to watch them play and getting to spend some quality time with Carson. We are definitely going to have to have him over again soon!
