A Day with Animals!

Now this is a fun crew! How can you not have fun with these little guys? We had a blast at the Gentry Safari Zoo. I think this is better than going to the zoo because, you get to touch so many animals....almost all of them! Harry was in heaven with some of his favorite friends and Brooklyn came too and that is always a bonus! The best part is feeding the animals and Harry was all about it! I didn't get many pictures of the exotic animals (since we were in the car I had a few kids in my lap)!

The little animal in here; a goat I think; obviously did not want to play....Harry would have crawled in if I would have let him!

Brooklyn was cold and can I say that Harry was so proud that she wore his jacket. Harry was proud to have her come with us period.

Harry rode a water buffalo(I think this buffalo was depressed...notice his head is down).

Brooklyn loved the animals(except the emus) but, she wanted them all a good yard away from her. The only exception was this little snake...her mother is cringing at the thought! This snake was probably the only animal that someone was holding that didn't move...maybe that is why she liked it...well that would rule out the turtle too..hmm...

This little piggy got a little too close!

I can't wait to go again; maybe next time we will pick a day without so much wind!

Our Weekend Visitors

Harrison and Lindsey came to spend the night on Friday! This is the biggest deal to Harry! HE LOVES THESE TWO! We worked out a deal with their parents. We watched their kids on Friday and Harry stayed with them on Saturday! The worst part of this is that we don't get to hang out with their parents! We had a wedding to go to but, we ended up skipping the reception so we could have some alone time...so sweet!

Harrison is Harry's hero...seriously! Harry and Lindsey love each other but, can hate each other at the same time....most of the time they love! Chad and I are crazy about these kids! Chad did NOT like me taking this picture but, you have to know he says he would like another boy for Harry to have a brother but, I know he would melt with a girl! Lindsey has the sweetest voice ever...she can melt your heart!

They had a great time making big messes and getting donuts in the morning! Harry walked into church with them on Sunday and wanted nothing to do with us! Needless to say... they all had a good time!

Celebrating the Luck of the Irish

I love my little town! It is such a neat place to live in! The first Friday of every month from March-November our town has a celebration on the square. This first Friday was celebrating Saint Patrick's Day. Of course, I was the only mom who forgot to dress her baby up in green...this will not be the first time, I am sure! Harry loved the bag pipes! He kept saying "Again, Again"! They also had dog parades and there were tons of pets...Harry LOVED them! They sold authentic Irish food and had balloon animals, craft house..etc...

Harry had so much fun; we did too! I am sad we are missing April's first Friday but, we plan on being at Mays!

Gee'tar Baby

What do you think of when you see this picture? When Harry looked at this picture he thought of "Daddy Geetar"! I had no clue what he was talking about but, he ran out of the room and came back with Daddy's guitar!
He played the guitar and it was beautiful music. Harry LOVES Chad's guitar!

He hasn't learned the basics yet...

Harry was annoyed with me taking pictures but, I didn't stop. He took the situation into his own hands, "No pictues Mommy!"I guess he wasn't ready for to show off his Jimmy Hendrix skills yet!

Keeping on Track

One neat thing about being a mommy of a boy is you go places you would never otherwise; like a model train show at the Clarion Hotel! Harry and I ventured out this morning to see a plethora of model trains and it was a site to see! This is the time of year Chad has to work on Saturdays; Harry and I get our own little dates!It was so fun watching his reaction, he was mesmerized by them all! He probably could have stared at them all day but, since his mom has a very little attention span for these kind of things we cut it down to an hour...poor Harry! The picture below is my favorite, this was his main expression. He is waiting for the train to come through the tunnel!

He received a certificate for being the train engineer! he loved this part!

He always wanted to go back to this train! The old man standing in the background told Harry over a dozen times, "don't touch, just look!" Harry didn't even try to touch that thing...I wonder how many times that man says that all day...he probably says it in his sleep!

Kaleb Comes to Visit

Talk about a big treat! Kaleb brought his parents to visit this weekend! Harry was obsessed with Kaleb! He wanted to hold Kaleb, show him his toys and even take a bath with him! Kaleb is beyond precious.....I could have held him all night(Harry could have too)!

Harry also loved Brian, although I didn't get any pictures of them playing! I have decided that Brian is one of my favorite people too! Katie and I have always hit it off and I have always loved Brian, but the more I know him the more I appreciate him!

It was a very sweet trip, we love our Fowler family! Kaleb, next time you come we will let you eat ice cream....not just tease you with it!

Football and Basketball All in One Day

One of Harry's favorite activities is playing with Papa! Papa is very special! Harry antipated spending the afternoon with Papa the entire morning! He was literally carrying his bag to the car!

Saturday night Harry and I made a road trip to my brother's basketball game. His team was in the district finals. This has not happened in years! Harry and I had so much fun. I felt sorry for Chad because he had to stay and study for the CPA.Eagles are Number 1!

They watched Paul coach very closely!

Dean and Cooper came to cheer them on!

You do not want the Dean girls cheering against your team! Watching the girls play brought back the olden' days when dad coached! I would be so intune to the game that the refs never called right and the other team was always playing dirty! I still feel that way about the opposing team...no matter who they are! That must come with being a coach's daughter.

Olivia was so fun to watch! She is hillarious and does not stop cheering for those Eagles!
