Rhino bums, grizzly dogs, and butt scratchers! Oh my!


Hayzen, Levi and I got to go with Quinn on his kindergarten field trip to the Zoo!  Wahoo!  

If you look super close in the pic above, you can see the tiger roaming the fence.  All the cats were super active this morning which makes them more exciting to look at.  Usually they're just sleeping the afternoon sun away...


We LOVE Rizzo the polar bear!


This grizzly bear was killing me!!  Look how he is sitting!  Like a little dog or something, cracks me up!


Look at the paws/claws on that thing!!  Eeesh!


River Otter swimming


The kids could not get over how funny this was!!  Look through the window...  HELLO!  ha ha!  I had a pretty good laugh too  :)
 

If this doesn't make you chuckle, I don't know what will!

Rhino bum!

Teacher Appreciation



These were our teacher appreciation gifts we gave to Avery and Quinn's wonderful teachers this year :)

Mama's Day

 I was surprised with a Mother's Day breakfast complete with hash browns, strawberries and cream waffles and orange juice...
Perfect!

 


I got several hand made gifts from my lil' sweeties {my favorite kind of gifts} as well as tickets to see Luke Bryan in concert!!  That's right!  Wahoo!  Love you Honey! 

I was well loved on this magnificent Mother's Day.  Thank you to my four beauties for making me the happiest Mama in the world.


I love waking up to these 4 faces every.single.day.  I'm one lucky Mama indeed.

Daddy Dog-Pile!


Bum to the face... Doh!

A Beautiful May Day




It was another beautiful May Day Celebration in the best place on earth, Mendon.  Mom was the May Day speaker this year and she did an amazing job!  It was so fun to hear her speak and you know what, my Mom is FUNNY!!  Loved it!

Taysia and Lily danced around the May pole this year and they got to be partners, what a treat.  Avery is sad every time May Day comes around, she just wants to dance too, dang it!

Beautiful, beautiful May Day!

3 Amigos


I'm so happy I captured this tender moment with these 3 amigos on film.  Quinn and Hayzen wanted Levi to sit on the couch by them while they watched Avery play Just Dance 4.   
These 3 are so sweet together  :)  
...most of the time.

They say it's your birthday...


Now that it's almost June, I guess I'll catch up on April and May :)

I had a wonderful birthday!  I am so lucky to have so many amazing people in my life that wished me 'happy birthday' and spoiled me with gifts.  Justin and the kids being at the top of the list!!  It's hard to believe I am now 33!


Thanks to some dear friends, this was my birthday lunch.  A Cafe Rio pork salad, just for me.  my favorite!

P.S. Instagram is a new favorite of mine for fancy pics...  these are two of many you'll be seeing on the ole' bloggy-blog :)
