A day at the Zoo

Kate and Ashley shared a camel ride.

We had a great time with our friends today at the zoo. We saw lots of animals and both Kate and Braden enjoyed the Kid's cove.

Sleepy Braden

There's nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby (especially when their tush is up in the air)!

Last day of school!

Kate's last day of pre-school was today. She had a fantastic year! We are so proud of her.

Happy Mother's Day!

Cooking with Grandma

Kate loved making a chocolate cake with Grandma!

Fishin' with Grandpa

Grandpa came in town for a visit yesterday so he and Brad took Kate fishing. She loved it once again. She reeled in 10 fish this time!

The Fish

Kate started swim lessons last week and is loving it! Her only complaint is that the lesson doesn't last long enough. We can't wait for our neighborhood pool to open!!

Our baby birds are growing....

Kate wanted me to put this picture of the baby birds on my "log". It's amazing how much they've changed in a week (look back at last Tuesday's pictures).

Fishing!

PopPop and Daddy took Kate fishing today. She had a great time and caught 8 fish!

The Zoo

Brad and I took the kids to the zoo this morning. It was a little cold and wet, but we had fun anyway.

Checking out the zebras.

Kate had fun riding the camel....all by herself!

Big hugs

Braden loved the slide!

Anchor Park

We went to the park with Tiffany, Katie, Carson and Abbie today. It was beautiful morning to play outside!

The boys in the fort.

Kate high up on the slide!

Braden LOVED the ducks. He kept going up to them saying "duck---mmmoooo."

Baby Birds!!

We are very excited to have a robin's nest on our deck. We've been watching the pretty blue eggs and today they had hatched!

Yellow and Blue

I realized that I dressed the kids in matching colors today so we had to take a few pictures before we left for school.

Kate took this picture of Braden on his zebra.

Tiffany's Going Away Party

My PEP Moms group had a going away party at Kelly's house on Saturday night. We had such a fun time!

Fun Saturday

We enjoyed a beautiful day outside on Saturday. Kate and Braden played on the playground and had a picnic lunch. We planted flowers and Kate even helped Daddy mow!

Caterpillar!

Kate was very excited to find a caterpillar on our deck.

Brad's Birthday

Today was Brad's birthday. We had a nice dinner together at home!

Everyone (including Baxter) was very interested in the mini-birthday cake!

Kate helped Daddy open his present.

Bible Study Dinner Out!

Tiffany is moving to Chicago at the end of the month so we took a "Beth Moore break" to have a dinner out before she leaves. We will SO miss her!!!

Easter!

After going to church with Nonny and PopPop we went to the Higleys for lunch and an egg hunt. We had a blast!

Ready for the hunt!

My boys...aren't they cute?

An attempt at a family photo.....this is about the best we could get~!~

Easter Morning

Kate and Braden were both very excited that the Easter Bunny came and left treats for them.
