Our Zoo Field Trip

We had a great time at the Zoo on Tuesday. Big T especially loved seeing all the animals.


Of course if you go to the zoo, you have to ride the train.

Do you notice the new haircuts? It's getting hot and they want it buzzed off so they can spike their hair.
We ended with a trip to sonic with our friends who also went to the zoo with us. It was lots of fun. We rarely go to sonic so this was a big treat. Big T had his first Hot fudge sundae and he said that was his favorite.

Park day!

Today we spent some time at a local park. The boys really enjoyed playing at a different park with their friends. We took the opportunity to take lots of pictures so that we could enter a contest! "I'm entering the Fall Five Kodak Printer Give-Away at Sprittibee's Blog. Kodak and Sprittibee are giving away an EasyShare 5300 printer!" Little T even took some of his own photos. I don't usually hand over my camera but Spirttibee asked us to include them. Here are a few pictures that Little T took.

As you can see he's a natural! Here is the finished project. We started making a Alphabet mini scrapbook last year. Because I didn't want to run to the store to print pictures we kinda stopped after D. Hopefully we will finish it this year. I skipped ahead to the Letter P and then we used ordinal numbers to rate his favorite things to do at the park. We are going over ordinal numbers in our school work right now so I jumped at the chance to reinforce it.

Since this isn't really clear, because I also don't have a scanner, I'll explain the pictures. 1st is playing at the park with Friends, 2nd is the bridge, 3rd is the firepole, 4th is feeding the Ducks and geese (mostly because he liked taking pictures of them), 5th is the spiderweb climber, and 6th is the slide (it was hot!).

We have been having lots of fun doing school and also on the field trips. We really enjoyed adding another fun item to our learning adventure! Happy Fall Ya'll!

Long overdue

Well, this time I'm not talking about a baby, but this post is overdue. It is already May 12!!!! I'm just running out of hours in my days to do things. This week sadly the Midwife bill in AL was voted down by committee. I am looking forward to next year when we try again. Hopefully with more people and interest in this bill. Here are some pictures of friends who came to stay for a short time. Our kids had the best time together. We look forward to seeing them again soon.

The Blessing of Friends

Matthew 21:22 "And whatever things you ask in prayer believing, you will receive."
Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you."
This is exactly what I have done with friends. Every since I became a mom I struggled with having friends. It's much harder when you are at home to have a friend and find time to get together. I have had playgroups off and on and about the time I thought I found that one great friend it just seemed to crumble. God has made me with a need to have girl friends. I need social interaction outside of my husband, children and family. I have even been very envious of those that have best friends. Well, after much prayer God has opened up the blessings. I have enjoyed becoming closer friends with many women throughout this year. My husband appreciates my friend moments too because it refreshes and renews me. I have even been blessed with a wonderful Best Friend!!!! I haven't had a BFF since highschool!!!! Can you tell I'm excited. I am so greatful to God that he has blessed me with Rashelle. We are able to challenge each other and help each other during this time of parenting(I really mean testing). It is amazing how God hooks us up with the right people to help us through certain times and also to allow us to help them. I have met some other fabulous women friends lately. But Rashelle you're still my BFF!!!! I hope that through this post you will take the time to stop and think of the people God has linked you up with and thank him.
