Brushing the goats....always a favorite activity 

Pink flamingos 

Trying to get a nice picture of the three of them 

Digging for dinosaur bones 

Filling up a bucket together 

Mason all smiles! 

For the first time we went into the reptile house and saw many snakes, lizards and frogs.  The kids really enjoyed finding all the animals! 

Playing ring-around-the-rosie on the grass 

One of Mason's favorite things to do 

Of course Corben had fun pulling the girls down!!

Painting Rocks

I think the kids were most excited about putting on their art smocks!

They love to play with rocks and Cheryl has made them painted animal rocks in the past....today was their turn to paint their own rocks! 

Of course Corben always picks red and Mason has a soft spot for purple!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

Corben's preschool celebrated Dr. Seuss' Birthday

Corben wrote the number 2 and cut out the circle all by himself

He also decorated the hat and wrote Dr. Seuss

Dedication Dress

This is the dress that Meme made for Mason...using my wedding dress

She wore this for her dedication service and we never got a great picture of her wearing it....today Meme called and asked if it still fit so we could get a nice picture of her wearing the dress 

It still fits and she looks gorgeous!

She is almost 2 1/2 years

Here is a picture of me in the wedding dress

almost 11 years ago!
