Zoo Day!

What a beautiful May 1st!  It was 80 degrees today and Melissa's day off.  So, we headed to the zoo for our first trip of the summer.  Isaac was so excited to wear shorts and no-sleeves.  However, he got blisters on his feet pretty quickly and it was almost a bust.  He got a second wind after we saw the giraffes, and we headed to Australia for lunch and a relaxing boat ride.  Hannah was terrified of the boat and clung to me at first, but got quite used to it.  It's going to be a wonderful summer!

Great brother and sister

Daddy's back!

Think the kids missed Dad when he was in Chicago for three days???

Quinn's Birthday Party

Isaac's First Lego Project

Isaac got a Lego garbage truck from Chris and Beth for Christmas. With a little help from Mom and Dad, he was really good at following the directions and putting it all together! I see lots of Lego projects in our future!

Visiting Santa

--
Before attending a Christmas party at Melissa's mom's house, we took Isaac and Hannah to Glenbrook to see Santa.  Isaac was shy, but excited.  Hannah was not.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Isaac loved checking out the ornaments and telling us which ones he remembered. Hannah liked looking at the tree and throwing ornaments :). She preferred to cuddle up with Daddy and watch.

 

Ready for the Holidays!

Mommy Day

I love Mocha Lounge! The kids play while I sip my coffee :)

Carving pumpkins with friends

We had pizza with our neighbors, the Ruhes, tonight and then the boys and dads carved pumpkins. It was a great night for everyone!

Beautiful morning!

Watching TV with Daddy

Botanical Gardens

It was a raining day off today, so I took the kids to the FW Botanical Gardens. I hadn't been there since I was a kid. It was a nice, quiet morning. Isaac was such a "gentleman" opening every door for me and Hannah!

Zoo day

We had a great morning at the zoo with Mommy and Grandpa Dave!

Alyss and Nick visit

Isaac's babysitter, Alyss, and her husband, Nick stopped by to visit on their way from Chicago to Cedar Point. We had lunch at McAlister's and then Alyss helped Isaac make some snowflakes. It was so nice to see them again!

Isaac's new ride!

Grandpa Dave found a KettCar at a garage sale and bought it for Isaac. He loves it!

St. Elizabeth Seton Fest

We went to the annual festival at our new church today while Dave's dad was visiting. Isaac had a great time playing games. He won enough tokens for a "pirate hook". He also loved hitting baseballs and jumping in the bounce house. Hannah loved the fruit kabobs for dinner! Later, we listened to the band and got a little goofy!

Playing in the sandbox!

We finally put sand in our old sandbox again. Isaac and Hannah both had a great time!
