What we have been up to........

We headed to the Zoo this morning to check out the new Polar Bears!! It was a quick trip because Julia had school but it was still fun!! The pic below are in reverse order of our trip though the zoo. We started at the polar bears and ended at the Carousel. It was really fun and I am still in shock that Julia rode a pony!!
Carousel Ride!!
Giddy up!!


After a picnic lunch the girls posed on a hog statue....

feeding the goats.....



hugging the goats.....





petting the goats




Pony rides at the zoo!!














I was shocked that Julia did this and it was her idea too!! Maggie said no at first and then after Julia took off on her ride she demanded to go too!!




...a little nervous at first but she loved it!!




They just opened the Polar Bear exhibit here and it is awesome!!


















so sweet!!






Under water view....






At home we have been swinging almost everyday!!!












Love my girlies!!






Today is Julia's last day of school and tomorrow we have her picnic to finish out the year. We also went and ......(gasp...sigh...tear rolling down my cheek...)registered for kindergarten this week. It was really more of a screening type of thing but we got to see the school, meet the principal and other staff. I got LOTS of paperwork and was able to go ahead and purchase school supplies. We were very impressed with the school and can't wait to find out who her teacher is and go to open house in August!!
We have been very busy but having a lot of fun!! We are looking forward to coming down south in a few weeks for some fun at the beach and the girls can't wait for their "vacation" at G and G's house.
Enjoy the pics.

To all the hard working Mama's out there......

I love being a Mom to my two girls!! Just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful, loving Mama (and Mimi to my girls) and Wyatt's Mama (Grandmama aka....the best mother-in-law a girl could ask for)!!! Have a great weekend!! I feel so blessed to be their mom.....






No Love like a Mother's Love

There is no love, like a mother's love,
no stronger bond on earth...
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother, when she gives birth.

A mother's love is forever strong,
never changing for all time...
and when her children need her most,
a mother's love will shine.

God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one...
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they've done.

When her days on earth are over,
a mother's love lives on...
through many generations,
with God's blessings on each one.

Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love...
from the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.
