Touch a Truck!

On Saturday, I took the kids to a fun event called "Touch a Truck"! (Daddy was busy watching the NFL Draft to nobody's surprise) It was sponsored by a local mom's club and they had all kinds of vehicles for the kids to get in, sit on, and play with! Among some of the things there were 2 Harley Davidson motorcycles, a convertible, a cement mixer, a fuel tanker, 2 school buses, a mail truck, a tow truck, a fire truck, police car and a mini train. Jacob had an absolute BLAST being able to get in each one and pretend that he was driving! I think his favorites were the police car and the BIG cement mixer! I had to help him just be able to reach the steps to climb in, it was very tall!! He also had great fun honking all the horns, as did almost every kid there! I think all the parents were needing some Tylenol when it was time to leave :) We ended the day with a ride on the mini-train. It was a fun day!

Zoo

Today we went to the zoo and it was FUN! Unfortunately, we didn't realize it was also Earth Day (which meant the rest of the EARTH was also at the zoo!) Ok, well not really but it was definitely more crowded than usual. due to the extra festivities. Jacob's cousin, Taylor, is staying with us for the weekend so we got to experience the zoo with twins basically (they are only 6 days apart)! Two 4 year olds and a 7 month old make for a tiring day but it was well worth it! The kids had a blast seeing the animals, petting the goats, eating cotton candy, and last but not least watching the Sea Lion show! I just love those things. They are so cute and pretty smart! Here are some pics from our zoo adventure.

Our Roly Poly-"O"

Our roly poly-"O" as in Olivia, has been rolling all over the place the last few days! She has been able to roll from her tummy to her back for a couple months, but just recently mastered the harder task of rolling from her back to her tummy. It seems like she is so proud of herself for learning a new skill and enjoys rolling herself from one end of the room to the other! She has found a way to move! Here are a few pictures of her in action!

Bluebonnets

If you live in Texas, then you know how beautiful the bluebonnets can be in the spring. We were fortunate this year to find a great field of them close by that was perfect for a photo opp! I took advantage of Grandma Suzy being in town and we took the kids for a little photo shoot. The sun was in their eyes and the wind was blowing pretty hard but we were able to get a few cute shots. As usual, Jacob wasn't a good poser--either squinting, not looking at the camera or making ones of his many silly faces! Anyways, at least we were able to do one of my favorite Texas traditions!
