Zoo Play Date

On Friday, we braved the heat and went to the zoo for a play date. Thankfully, most of the walkways are shaded (good planning zoo staff!). The kids had a blast, and Andrew is now obsessed with "big giraffes", "big elephants", and all other "big" zoo animals. And since we have our annual pass, we'll probably make the zoo a weekly/every other week outing while the weather is nice (thanks Randy & Cate)!

I was so excited to see the monkeys! I ran around singing "Monkeys Jumping on the Bed."

Everett, Lily, Laney, and me at the giraffes--they were so close to us, and looked so big!

BIG giraffes!

Everyone checking out the zebras...

BIG zebras!

Summer Play with Everett

One of Andrew's little friends lives right around the corner from us. They've been playing together a lot this summer, and they both LOVE to play outside!

Mother's Day Weekend in Indiana

This year was a special Mother's Day for our family and we spent it up in Indiana with Josh's mom and grandmother. The weather was unseasonably cool, but we managed to play outside a lot anyways. Andrew discovered a new favorite hobby--hunting for pinecones!

Playing around the trees in the front yard--see my pinecone? The bag in the background is full of them!

I loved Nana's pretty pink flowers...

"Cheese!!!"

"I mean, seriously? Haven't I taken enough pictures?"

Park Playdate

The spring weather here has been awesome, so we've been playing outside a lot. These are pictures from a day at the park with Andrew's cousins...

A lot of people think we look like brother and sister...

We totally know how cute we are too...

Playing the gigantic drums at the park...

Cousin Play

Andrew loves playing with Charlotte and Lily Catherine...

"Teaching" Charlotte all about my toys...

I absolutely adore my baby cousin...

Being silly with Lily Catherine--this is our Hollywood look!

Playing Outside with Daddy...

Andrew loves playing outside at Josh's parents' house--there is so much room to run around!

Our Little Golfer

We got Andrew his first set of golf clubs while we were up in Indiana over Easter weekend. We're not too sure a golf career is in his future--he wouldn't put down his Abby doll to swing the club... ;-) He had a great time with them though!

The one-handed swing (we have to keep a good hold on Abby!).

Being silly with my new clubs...

I think I'll need my putter for this one...

Round over, time to head to the clubhouse...
