Tyler Zoo with Family

The girls and I went to Tyler to meet Mima, Christie, Randy, Morgan, and Gyvonne at the zoo to celebrate Mother's Day! I also want to apologize for all the pictures, Hannah "helped" me take them and I couldn't bare not to put them in the blog.

We showed up just in time for the elephant show. And, the girls LOVED it!

I love this picture with Hannah's little hands in her pockets.

Sarah Beth

Stopped to play at the playground.

Hannah loved the parrots so she took a MILLION pictures.

Then, it was the petting zoo.

Hayley was ready to go!

Sarah Beth having her fun time!

Fun sinks to wash your hands when done petting the animals.

So, the girls got maps and they looked at them EVERY time we went to a new place. It was SO stinkin' cute!

Hayley checking it out.

The Lions and Turtles were taken by Hayley, they were her favorites.

Putting her map in her pocket.

After the zoo, we went to eat and give Mima her mother's day gift. We all went in and got her a Pandora bracelet. She LOVED it!!

Fun times!!

Acts of Service

Slacking isn't even the word to describe our attempts on "Acts of Service." We have let "stuff" get in the way and that's not setting a good example for the kiddos. So, we decided to start doing it again. We have this idea of taking a picture of the kids and making a card to deliver with the goodies they make for people but, this is what we get...

Well, can't said we didn't try.

Today, we took cookies to the fire station to just tell the firemen, "Thank You!" They were nice (and brave) enough to let the kids play on the fire truck.

Hayley was ready to try it out!

Hannah too!

Alaina!

Ella!

Hannah asking questions...

SB's turn!

And, another attempt to get a group shot...

With the firemen!

Music Fun!

This year we decided to sign the girls up for "Music Fun." My friend, Shana, teaches it and we thought it would just be fun for them and give them some interaction with other kiddos. This was our last day. It seems like a bunch or craziness but, the kids LOVE it! I'm sure we will do it again next year too.

Sarah Beth's First "Haircut"

Sarah Beth's bangs were getting in her eyes so she needed a "haircut." I didn't want to cut the back because she has these super cute curls! Candice, my friend cuts hair and she did it for her. She also cuts the twins hair and doesn't even charge us! She's AWESOME and we are SO thankful for her and her service.

Look how cute she looks!

Armadillo Festival

We went to Hamburg this weekend for the Armadillo Festival. Chassity and I had a craft booth so we were there early and enjoyed some of the rides on Friday.
Sarah Beth having a great time!

Caleb won a "hammer"

Waiting to ride their first big girl ride without us!

Watch out, Hayley's driving!

Hannah decided to get on the purple one and "drive" Maci!

Hayley LOVING it!

Hannah waving...TWO HANDS GIRL!

Now, onto the motorcycles.

Hannah is ready!

We had such a great time!
