Green meadow petting farm

One of our most favorite places on earth

we love GREEN MEADOW PETTING FARM

it is one of the best places around

Elles adored the chicks and duckies

this baby goat was confused and thought my toes were its mommy-- though it got no milk- it sure tried hard to get some ;)

both girls caught chickens and ducks on their own-- they are amazing!

Callan loved the hayride.

and the girls thought they were all that riding the ponies-- they both got the same one-- named gypsy-

Happy birthday Grandma Diana!!

We love you! So glad you are a part of our lives

Emmy the artist

Ems drew the life cycle of a caterpillar - and a turtle

Ems is an ARTIST!!! we caught a spiky caterpillar-- hence the furthest right illustration- actually, the cocoon is the furthest right-- then in the middle is a plant with an egg- then next to Ems is the butterfly-- not in the perfect order-- but the life cycle of a butterfly is pretty impressive ;)~*a turtle for Auntie Amber-- and no-- she is not intoxicated- though her face suggests otherwise.

We. Love. Florida

We get to catch fish

tell fish stories.

play with our Papa, Josh and Booky

enjoy.

get poked by a catfish for the first time-- and learn that it's important to listen-- this is Ems by the way.

visit mini Brazil and pick out Emmy's future wedding cake (where she came up with this- I'll never know-- but I thought it was cute)

we get to destroy Booky's house-- especially her plants.

catch dragon flies and release them in Booky's house.

swim at our friend's pool--

and it's heaven there.

like- really heaven.

I get to have a pedicure-- sans kids-- the first since before Callan was BORN-- never waiting a year again ps-- and as always- it was amazing!

We get to catch lizards and wear them around the house.

we get to try to escape to the outside all. day. long.

i get to see pics like this-- that just make me happy.~*and I don't have to put my kids to sleep-- we. love. Florida.

Beach days

Jason wasn't there- but he's always in my heart - aaaaaaaaah.
