Wildlife Zoo

I found these pictures and had totally forgotten to post them! Drew took Hudson to the Wildlife Zoo back when I took Gracyn to see Disney on Ice. He and Hudson had a fun date too!! And, Hudson LOVED it!!

He was so brave and fed the animals out of his hand.

Nice, up close view.

A little too close in this case!

ZEBRAS!!

I'm so glad Huddy got to spend the day with Daddy--what FUN!!

Family Movie Date

 Hudson filled up his pom pom jar, so we decided to go see Monsters University for his reward. Gracyn was really happy with this choice! :) They were both thrilled to have Daddy at the "moobie feater" with us!

They jumped right on the snail for Turbo and asked for me to take their picture. Two little cuties...how could I resist?? :)

It was a cute movie and we all had a great time together!

 

 

It was a nice way to stay cool on the record 108 degree day!

 

Happy Birthday, America!

 We enjoyed a fun family day to celebrate America's Birthday. We met Daddy for lunch at Cracker Barrel. Gracyn was thrilled that she got to sit next to Daddy.

 Hudson...not so much. What about me?? Doesn't anyone want to sit by Mommy?

 

 

 Here's a look at these two last year....my how they've grown!! Huddy looks like such a baby!!

 When we explained to Gracyn that July 4th celebrates America's birthday, she asked if we were making a birthday cake and having a party. So, we did! A birthday cake isn't complete without sprinkles and princess figurines and Hot Wheels on top!

Someone helped lick the bowl!

And, of course we had to sing Happy Birthday to America!

And...blow out candles too!

Then we went to watch the fireworks. Meme, Pop and Nana decided to head home and not watch them with us.

 

The kids LOVED it!

 

 

 We had a GREAT view, without any traffic afterwards...win/win!!

 Happy, Happy Birthday America!!

These two...

...Have to wave goodbye and "watch them go"--to anyone that is leaving our house.

She was particularly sad one evening when I was leaving to go out with some girlfriends. She gets really sad sometimes when I leave her and she says it's because she's just going to miss me so much. Love her sweet heart!!---But, Mommy needed a night out with friends! :)

These two....think that we have to stop and play at the new church playground every Sunday now when we're leaving. They LOVE it!

These two....love pedicures! All Drew asked for on Father's Day was for me to give him a pedicure. (If you've seen the shape his feet are in or know of my aversion to feet--then you'd know how much I love my husband!) :) They each wanted in on the action and LOVED it!

 

These two....LOVE donuts for breakfast!!

These two...love the mannequins at Old Navy. Gracyn asked me to take a picture of her with them--Hudson hopped up there at the last minute.

 These two.....love playing in the rain. They love to bust out their rain gear any chance they get!

 These two....have my heart!

Summer Movies

We've been going to the free summer movie every week. The kids are LOVING it!! And, it's a great way to stay cool and kill a couple of hours at the same time! :)

We went to the first one by ourselves. We saw "The Lorax."

The next week we went with the cousins to see, "Rise of the Guardians." They all did great and had so much fun together!

They loved "Rio." Hudson does really well--but is ready to go close to the end. When his food runs out, so does his patience. :)
