UP!

All I am going to say is GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!! It was saaa-weet! Even if you don't have tykes, it is a great love story! Oh, and don't forget to see it in 3D!
This is what I chose to go see for my birthday and it was great fun to have the whole fam there too!

Back To The Beach!

Warmer weather means, back to the beach at the local lakes around, if not to the ocean too!
This was Baby G's first taste of the lake and sand. The water was still chilly, so he didn't hag out in it too long of course! Love this face- what you looken' at?
Feeling the sand between his toes and water to play in!
The other tykes, didn't mind at all and were all over the water! This is such a fun place to come since it's close by.

Memorial Day @ The Zoo!

We had a great family day at the zoo! I heart going to zoos and this is one we hadn't been too! Not a huge crowd and great sunny weather! This would be a picture of a sleeping otter- it happened to be Miss P's fave. She shared about it at school and even had to buy a stuffed one at the gift shoppe!
Our Baby G having his 1st carousel ride on a puffin no less! He didn't like it too much, I had to quickly move to the sitting bench while the ride was going. But at least we got a cute picture anyways!
Miss P petting one of the many new baby piglets! They were way cute! It was fun to get Baby G's attention to watch the animals, then he couldn't look away!
I had to get a picture of these most unusual, but extremely pretty peacocks! They were happy to oblige!
If you look closely, this peacock is trying to get the attention of the duck in front of him. Funny thing is, the duck couldn't of card less! They had a ton of peacocks just roaming free around the zoo. We loved to walk by them and also when they put their big feathers up!
Thanks family for a fun zoo trip and hopefully to many more! I will always remember going to the zoo right around my birthday, and yes it is almost that time again!

Fab Toy and Dye!

I just had to post about this fab toy. Yuu know you always see them at like the dr's and dentist office, well we have never owned one till now! The older tykes had earned some money and each picked out a toy last week. Poor Baby G didn't have anything, so I saw this and decided it was a must have!!
He played with it the whole way home in the car! He loves this thing. He pushes it around the floor, has learned how to close the doors and likes to close them- as I push them open as fast as possible. He even tries picking it up.
Great dye! Love hand-me-downs and soooo glad I kept this awesome tye-dye onesie from Big H! Looked fab on him as it does on Baby G!
And now we're out of here!

My Monkeys!

These guys bring me such joy in life! Thanks for making me smile! I sure love all the snuggles, stories, jokes, memories, x's & o's, and for being YOU! Love you all!

Annual Art Show!

I heart that the tykes school is involved with music and art! They put on a great art show each year! Here is Miss P with her black cat- it even has a tail!
Big H made this awesome bracelet with just yarn and straws!
Big H also made an Alien! Yikes!
Miss P did a pastel drawing- it was hung upside down, but mom saved the day and fixed it!
Big H's awesome sun! I loved walking down the hall looking at all the fun suns!
Thanks tykes for a great evening and the wonderful artwork you had to show for it!

Super Duper Slide!

Wouldn't you love this slide in your backyard? Me TOO!This is actually at an elementary school! I went down and came flying out and landed right on my boo-tay!
Here is Big H having a blast!
Miss P can't get enough of it and even got brave enough to go down on her own!
Don't worry, daddy took Baby G down a few times as well, he just didn't know what to think of it!
Don't you just love free fun? We had just gotten done going for a hike and pass this slide on the way back, this slide is just something you can't pass by!

Sunday Post- Mother's Day!

What a great day for me to be surrounded by those I love most....
with beautiful weather, fun surprises, yummy dinner, (new swing for Baby G), and

lots of LOVE! Thanks to my family for a wonderful Mother's Day! It couldn't have been any better! I love you all!
To all the special mom's in my life- I don't know where I would be without you! Thanks for the lessons taught and all your love as well! Hope you all had a great Mother's Day!

9 Months Big!

Baby G is 9 months! I just can not believe how fast time flies! He just had his check up and growing great, except that he has been sick and teething, so not much of a happy camper these days! Anyone have any great tips/ideas for teethers. He has just been a crying and not himself.
His stats are weight- 16lbs 13oz and height- 27 1/2" Loves to roll around to get what he needs. makes screaming noises to keep up with the older tykes, loves to get people attention, wants to eat whatever we are eating- even with no teeth!
I just love these boys of mine!
PS not a boogie on Baby G's face, the poor boy fell of the couch- got a little rug burn!

Ghosts of Girlfrends Past

Such a great "chick flick!" Saw this today with my husband and I totally loved it! How can you not when Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner star in it!
It is a must see!
