I have never had a baby that is so into textiles- he loves fabric, ribbon, blankets, even paper. Whenever he is playing with a toy, blanket, stuffed animal, etc. without fail, he will turn it over and over until he finds the tag and will start sucking on!! At our picnic he eventually found the tag of the blanket we were sitting on!!!

Farmers Market

Baby loves being outside, especially at the farmer's market with all the sights and sounds!!

JJ asked for a spiderweb, a spider, and a fly on his arm, not sure what that's about but, he got what he wanted!

Although you may think JD asked to be Gene Simmons from KISS he actually asked for Spiderman, pretty close!!

Sis asked to be a fairy!
Getting all gooped up with sunblock for the farmers market!!

We love the Farmers Market, there is so much fun to be had there! We love the food, the smells, the sights of all the talented wares!! Our fav's are: snowcones, Fritz's beer brats, homemade jewelry, face painting, crazy corn on the cob, fudge, it's endless!! They also have different themes for different days- on kids day they have scavenger hunts, the firemen have their trucks out to climb on and we got to shoot the fire hose, there are prizes and they release 10,000 lady bugs!!

Last zoo post, from this trip anyways!

zoo continued

The kids got to see how they sized up to the wingspan of a golden eagle (Sis & baby's pics are above, I couldn't fit all the pics I wanted on one post!!) We put all the kids in the play nest which is crazy because we did this a long time ago and all that was in the nest were Sis and JD when he was one and she was 3!!!

Some more Lita fun!

We also went to the zoo while Lita was here. It's not a huge zoo but it's nice that we can see the whole thing with all the animals in one afternoon. We took our lunch to the play at the park outside the zoo and after that we went and had lots of fun seeing the lions, turtles, peacocks, penguins, birds, zebras, etc. etc, etc!!

We love Lita, no serioulsy, LOVE her!!

The school sent J to Nashville, TN for 4 days so Lita (my Mom) came and saved us!! We always have so much fun when she visits and this time was no exception. We went to the zoo, to the Riot Zone, out to dinner, shopping (my personal favorite ), to the park, deep fried a lot of food, went to the farmers market, put on a play, played on the computer, jumped on the trampoline, we had TONS of fun!! Thank you Mom for coming to spend time with us and having so much fun!!! One night we went to Applebees for dinner and a face painter was there doing free face painting, she was amazing, a true artist, the kids' (and mom's) faces looked great!! More pics of the fun trip to come!!!

Last Day of School!!!

I know it's a shocker that I'm behind!! We start our school year in August and the nice thing about that is we are done in May!! This year went by so fast for us, Sis was in 1st grade-going all day, eating lunch at school, loved her Teacher Mrs. B, and really latched on to reading. She loves it!! JD finished Kindergarten-this guy has really come out of his shell, he loved his teacher Mrs. Williams, and had so much fun with his best friend Brock in his class! He learned a lot and did a great job!! We're full into the swing of things in the summer and JJ, Jacob, and I have really loved having these to at home all day to play and help out!
