Our princess

Our little girl is growing up fast. She has such a beautiful personality. She loves the Lord and shares Him with lots of her friends. Here are some fun moments from the recent past...

New Zoo

The zoo opened is new west entrance and highly advertised meerkat exhibit this week so we had to go and check them out. While the new entrance was grand and beautiful, the meerkat exhibit was...tiny! They are cute though and Josiah could play all day in the pretent meerkat desert area.

I couldn't find anyone to join us at the zoo so we just went as a family. It had been a long time since I took the kids on my own and we had a blast! I was really able to enjoy them and see their joy in their experiences. It was such a blessing and something I want to try and do more often (enter their world)

The best part of the day was feeding the birds. The kids loved getting the birds to land on their seed sticks and hold them! It made them feel very special.

New Backyard

Since we moved into our house, I dreamed of an enclosed flat space where the kids could play safely. My dream finally came truw this month. After lots of work and help from friends, we jackhammed up 1000 lbs of concrete, dropped in 9 yards of soil, removed 100 feet of chainlink, added 900 feet of sod, and had a beautiful wood fence installed. Worth it all! Here are some pics of the kids enjoying their new play area.





Messes!

This is what happens when I try to clean the bathroom!


Want to know who's responsible...

But he's so stinking cute!
