At The Zoo

It was a brutally hot day to be walking around at the zoo but the kids and I met up with our friends Gloria and Eric for a tour of the local zoo...which is not really a zoo..it's a petting zoo and game preserve.





This was a very cool exhibit... You go into the cage with the Lorikeets with a little cup of nectar and they come right up to you and eat out of your hand!!!!

Happy Father's Day!

Today's post is dedicated to The Most Wonderful Father and Husband a family could hope to have!

We Love you, Daddy!!

"The most important thing a father can do
for his children is to love their mother."
~~Author Unknown

It is a wise father that knows his own child."
~~By William Shakespeare (1564-1616)~~





What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,

He called it ... Dad

~~Author Unknown.~~













The Best Man I Ever Knew


When we married, I saw you as perfect,
The ideal husband and more;
I thought I knew all about you,
All the things to love and adore.


But when you became a father,
I saw new qualities to treasure.
You enrich all our lives in fresh ways;
As a dad, you bring so much pleasure.


Our children are forever blessed
To have a father like you,
And I love you more than ever,
You’re the best man I ever knew.

Playtime

We had some playgroup friends over.. Meghan and Isaiah played on the teeter totter (which Meghan calls the totter).



I bought this walker when meghan was a baby....neither she or Hailey used it . Meghan was walking early and haiey prefered to crawl so they never liked it. So, I decided to sell it...wouldn't you know that NOW Hailey wants to sit in it!

Happy Birthday to Me

It was my birthday on May 25th...I turned 35...still deciding how I feel about that..lol


My Dad and his wife invited us over for a nice birthday dinner and some cake ..then they watched the kids (ALL of them!!) while Manny and I went to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls. It was the first movie I had been to since I was preggo with Meghan and it was a real treat!




Hailey really enjoyed her birthday cake!!!

She's such a little helper.....
