Zoo

Get ready for picture overload! We took a trip to the Dallas Zoo on Monday and had a GREAT time! I've been bugging Bryan about "making memories" while the girls are still young, and this trip is one that we will remember for a long time!
This first picture is my favorite one of the whole day.There was a fountain right at the entrance of a bunch of baby elephants playing.
Remember, I did warn you about picture overload. Ok, here we go...


Michelle was petting the baby gorilla. So sweet!

I'm not sure what this silly monkey was doing. I think he was trying to make a nest out of some hay. But he kept scooting around on his butt and dragging this bunch of hay with him.
"Run, Zebra, Ruuun!"
Tina had a blast on the monorail!
Just FYI, there's no food or drink on the mono rail... unless you're a hungry two year old named Michelle and you have a Mommy that lets you break the rules! (I know, "not being a very good example mommy!")

Michelle got to feed the Giraffes! It was so cool!

After a great morning we stopped for some yummy lunch.
This was our view from our lunch table. In case you can't tell, those are Lions!
Tina was a trooper the whole time! She did great being traded from Bryan to me to her car seat all day!
Our last stop was to the Children's Zoo section. It's basically a farm where you can touch/feed/ride/whatever!




No worries, this little lamb was SUPER strong! lol, j/k it's a statue!

There was also a little playground in the middle of the Children's Zoo area.
As a special "last thing" Michelle got to ride on the carousel. She had. a. blast!
"HI DADDY!!"
The girls didn't last long once we got into the car.
It really was such a great day! Memories made!

Valentines Day Party

This year for Valentines Day we got the cousins together and had a mini Valentines Party! Clayton and Michelle decorated sugar cookies and made Valentines for their Daddy's!

They did such a good job decorating their cookies!

They used frosting....

LOTS of frosting!

And they used sprinkles...

LOTS of sprinkles!

They used stamps, crayons, and glitter to make their valentines. They did a wonderful job with those too! But, glitter was involved, so I didn't get to snap any pictures... if you're a mom you understand why! lol!

Here are Clayton's Valentine Masterpieces,

and here are Michelle's... plus Daddy's gifts.
Happy Valentines Day everyone! Hope yours was as fun as ours!
