Cameron Park Zoo

Over the weekend we took the girls to Cameron Park Zoo in Waco. We have heard wonderful things about the zoo and have been wanting to check it out for some time. I am so glad we finally made the day trip because it was a great place to visit and the girls loved all the animals.

Looking for some fish b/c the monkeys in the exhibit were hiding.

Enjoying a shady walk.

I found some love bugs.

The girls loved the aquarium. 

This bear loved Emma. Swam right up to her. Scary and cute all at the same time.

A slide that went through the otter pond.

Relaxing with the leopard.

Abby's favorite was the giraffes. She could just watch them all day.

A nice shade break.

Who needs GPS when Abby can direct you with her map reading skills.

The horse statues were a big hit.

The pigtail ladies.

If the zoo is not far from you, I highly recommend checking it out.

Splash Day 2012

This past Friday Emma's class had their annual splash day at school. Of course we all needed to go check out the fun that Emma and her classmates were having.

The class made ice cream for a snack and Abby had to try it out.

This was Emma's reaction to having some.

Emma's classmates love Abby and just had to huddle around her.

Walking hand in hand to the splashing fun.

They had a huge water slide for the kids to enjoy. This is Emma at the top.

Waiting in line with some friends from class.

 Abby was not big enough for the slide so she found her own splashing fun.

I guess this means summer is almost here. Only one week left of school.

Gymnastics Observation

On Thursday Emma had her last gymnastics class for the 2011-2012 season. For her last class the parents are invited in to observe the skills they learned over the season. Emma did a fabulous job showing me her new skills. She was very proud of herself and I was extremely proud of her too. Emma is anxious for her summer class to start.

The class walking in. Emma is in front.

The class.

Her favorite activity is the trampoline.

Walking on her hands and feet down the balance beam.

Twirling around the bar.

Holding herself up on the bar. This was her proudest moment b/c she typically shies away from the bar.

Hop and stop on the balance beam.

Receiving her ribbon and certificate.

Here is a video of her going through the course. Warning it is long.

Emma we are amazed by how you grew this year in gymnastics. You absolutely love being in the class. Every week you work hard and some times goof off but you are getting stronger and developing wonderful skills. Good job Emma!!

20 Weeks: 3rd Pregnancy

As I write this I am actually 21 weeks but I did take a picture of myself at 20 weeks and we had our ultrasound to check the baby's anatomy. At 20 weeks everything is going great. The baby looks very healthy! Always love to hear that. Things with me are pretty good. My only complaint is tiredness in the afternoon. I am missing running but thankfully I can still get a good workout with the elliptical and weights. I am definitely showing now, which I love. Clothes are becoming a problem b/c I am still too small for all my maternity stuff but am slowing out growing my regular clothes. So if you see in the same outfit over and over, that is why. Emma is becoming aware of what is going on and will often say that soon there will be five of us. So cute!

Me at 20 weeks. Got to remember to get Andy to take the pic.

Our sweet baby. Gender is still going to be a surprise. This baby loves to put his/her face right up to the placenta. Did not what us to get a good profile picture.

 A little foot. Always one of my favorite pictures. This little one loves to do somersaults and give some kicks.

My Newest Assistant

Love that Abby wants to help me out with housework.

Worn Out

This picture pretty much sums up our weekend.

We have had a busy weekend and could use another day to rest up. Here are some cute pictures of the kids playing at Central Market. We met some friends for lunch, live music, and some serious playtime. 

I would write more in this post but I am too tired and just wanted to do a quick update of these cuties.

T.V. Watching

Someone takes their morning show watching very seriously and tries to get the best position for viewing.

She looks comfortable, right?

Mother's Day Love

The two beautiful girls are my true gift for Mother's Day. I love them to pieces and I always feel blessed to have their love.

I think the best part of my Mother's Day was watching these two cuties hold hands. They are really into it these days and it just makes me smile.
