Pigtails and Playtime

She Loves Purses!

Aub has a new obsession with purses. It's so cute.

I promise I fix her hair. Sometimes.She just couldn't wait to try on her raincoat. Notice the tags :)

Mommy's purse is much more fun. Look at that face!

So cute!

The Zoo

So in the beginning, I had typed a lengthy story detailing what we've been up to. The new house, Andrew leaving, school, life in general. One of the kiddos that I love SO much somehow deleted it. I'm too tired to re-type :)

Enjoy the pictures from today @ the Wildlife Zoo.

Look! There they are!

Kangaroos!

It's mommy!

She is getting SO big.

She loved watching the animals.

** SNEAK PEAKS **

This were taken by Shannon at Bella Bean Photography!

We were able to get our family pictures taken yesterday. Our photographer offer a few sneak peaks while final editing is completed. Here are a few of our favorites.

WARNING: Please note the following while reviewing:

1. It was past bedtime.
2. It was 105 degrees. (Seriously, 105 degrees)
3. We were in a vineyard = bugs, bugs, bugs. 4. There was a wedding in the same location and Carter was WAY more interested in their party!

I'm pleased with the results so far but I'm still waiting for the *perfect* family photo.

I'm horrible at blogging...but here are a few new pics.

Carter at the zoo.

Aub hot and tired at the zoo :)

Miss smiles.

Love this picture.

Picture Update

As we try to get settled here in Arizona, needless to say, I haven't had much time to update the blog. Debbie these are for you!

Cardinal Game

The Cardinals played in Phoenix in May - we were able to go and the kiddos did great. The Cardinals lost one of the three nights they were in town and of course, it was when we went. They'll be back in town in a few weeks and we hope it make it to another game!

Sea World

We are on the road! Two days down and two to go. Today we are staying in San Antonio and were able to go to Sea World. How fun! It was so great. A few pics to enjoy...

Carter and Andrew.
My perfect little family.

Naptime!

THE Shamu!

Andrew feeding the dolphins.

We were really this close. We all were able to pet them. WOW!

Look at the phish!

The flash made him blink.

Can life get any better?

What a fabulous week!

Andrew graduated...wow, it's been a LONG year but we're super proud, humbled and honored to serve in this capacity. Congrats, baby!

Aubrey laughs...and smiles, goos and coos. She weighed in at 10.8 this past Wednesday!

Carter is talking non-stop...new words of the week include shirt, dirty (Aubrey's diapers), purple, yellow and Joey (kangaroo's name on Little Einstiens). Go Carter!

I love it. I continue to be amazed each day and am grateful for my incredible family...

Little Man

Toby and Carter are best buddies.

Smelling the flowers. Carter calls them trees however.

Thristy during bathtime.

Cheese!

We love this little guy SO much. He is just growing in personality everyday and getting to be such a big helper. He loves Aubrey so much and is always concerned when she is upset - he says, "She sad, she sad." How cute! He loves bathtime (but what kid doesn't) and is really into coloring, Elmo and finding the moon right now. Basically, we have the coolest little guy around...but we've heard our Cousin Patrick isn't too shabby either :)

Prepare for a post all about Aubrey later!
