A day with the animals....

It was a beautiful day to spend at the zoo! HOT though! It hit 90 today! All of the animals were out enjoying the sunshine....

The boys' favorite....feeding the birds in the bird walk-a-about

Caleigh holding on to Blake...she's not too sure about birds ;)

The pair of bobcats

And, the pair of Eagles.

Feeding the fish & ducks.

Our zoo has a wonderful playground with sandboxes & other cool things for the kids to play on.

We had a wonderful "Fun Friday" at the Zoo!

Tomorrow, the Easter Bunny is making his debut at the Mall....we're going at 10. Caleigh is VERY excited...we'll see how it goes once we get there !!! That bunny is huge!

A Snippet of Our Day

I found these cool grammar blocks at a consignment sale. My boys LOVE them, and so does Caleigh. They are in colored groups of subject/verb phrase/adjective phrase or adverb phrase. You can mix & match them to make silly sentences. Then, you put your sentence together on paper with the correct punctuation and capitalization & share. We were all laughing within ten minutes & they begged to do more. Yes, more grammar, more writing, more fun....I'm all for it! Guess what we're doing for grammar tomorrow? Yep, it's already on the schedule! Now, little sister is usually sitting right along side us for a lot of our school day, especially the reading and science. Today, she decided to join in for Grammar since it involved cool colored blocks she could color sort & stack! There are 45 of them in the set. They're called Tell-A-Story Cubes. Yep, you can put a bunch of funny sentences together to tell a funny story. This is right up my Mad-Libs Loving Kids alley! Might want to getcha some! I tell you, they have already paid for themselves in one day....I got them for $5 at the sale! :)

My Blue Girl

Just in case you were wondering....her favorite color is still blue. She would wear it every day if it was available! She's my blue girl ;)

How long 'til the swing breaks?

Today after church & lunch...everyone gathered on the swing....I decided to take some pics hoping to catch the moment when it broke & everyone landed on the ground!LOL! It never did...

.....but I got some great pics! Happy Sunday!

A Beautiful Day For the Park!

SWING! I'M THE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN!

WHEREVER YOU GO, I WILL FOLLOW.

BLAKE!

HEY! WAIT UP!

COME ON DAD, GIVE ME A LITTLE BOOST.

SHE JUST LOOKS SO LITTLE HERE.

SWING!

BRYCE!

LORD ONLY KNOWS....SHE PROBABLY TOLD BRYCE TO HANG ON FOR THE RIDE!

FRESH! Azaleas & Tulips! Oh My!

First, I must say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our doberman, DUKE! He's 4 today! Next, the boys got haircuts today & they were super excited to have their picture taken for the blog. LOL!!! NOT!

Oh! And we have this new store in town...FRESH! by Brookshires. They have the most wonderful selection of beautiful fruits & veggies I've ever seen! Yummy too!

They also have a florist shop right inside the store! Tyler is moving on up!!! hahaha!

The azaleas out our back door are prettier than most of the flowers I saw there! Although, I did have to buy myself some Tulips...my favorite!

Azaleas in full bloom. Load of blooms & bumblebees!
