Zoo!

The Greenville Zoo is awesome for families. Taylor had a wonderful time looking at the animals but of course her favorite was feeding the farm animals. These billy goats were super obese for goats, in my opinion, and we bought special crackers to feed them. I was a tad nervous letting my kids feed them at first. I can remember when I was little going to the Houston zoo and having one of those eating machines eat a hole in the shirt I was wearing. In fact, I think I have a picture standing next to that goat the moment before he chowed down on my clothes. So, ever since I've been apprehensive about feeding the goats. But, we've visited these goats a few times since and I'm getting more comfortable with the idea...and Taylor talks about them non stop. She thanked Jesus for them that night when we said her bedtime prayers.



Even Noah was interested



Okay enough with the goats already.

I love this expression on her face....


Look at my handsome Mister....nothing sexier than a hot guy with a baby- in a front carrier no less

Speaking of zoo...here are a few pics of what happened around our house that week other than the zoo.
We had a Raleigh dog birthday party! Every year on our dog's bdays we give them half a can of dog food and put a candle in it and sing happy birthday. They get bones wrapped in bday paper too. We were happy that Raleigh's bday was before Taylor's so we could get her warmed up for her big day.


Three sisters

I'm sure my family will kill me for posting this picture but it was the best one of twenty I took trying to get the kids to all look at the camera at the same time! These are the three sisters , my mom, my aunt Jill, and my aunt Donna. They are the best of friends and I am so blessed to have all of them in my life. God never did give me that sister I wanted but as I grow older I realize more and more that having a close relationship with my mom and aunts I feel like I am being "grandfathered" into their sisterhood circle in a way.
This pic was taken at one of our favorite places- the BEACH - of course. The best memories are made there. So, naturally, all the girls decided to drive to the beach to celebrate my aunts birthday. We had a ball- not to mention it was so pleasant in September. We made shirts for the kids that spelled out the numbers of her birthday. Getting them to be still for a photo was pretty much impossible. We had such a good time lavishing on my aunt for her big day! Happy Bday Sissy- you deserve it!

Summer photo catch up

Here are a few highlights from this summer. We went to the Kingston Plantation at N. Myrtle in July with the family. Had a ball!



My little diva loves her zebra striped hat and sunglasses
We spent alot of time eating lemon slushies on the beach. As you can tell, it was the highlight of Taylor's day.

Love the sandy feet!





Noah, on the other hand spent alot of time doing this

Ive recently edited a whole slew of photos from this summer that I plan to post so stay tuned....of course you dont believe me but we'll just see if I prove you wrong. Love you all.
