just a fun day at the pool!!

GO OWLS!!  

K this was like a week ago, but it was really fun!! Jarrett and Amber loved sliding down the hill on their bellys, and playing catch!! We even watched the game a little bit! Let me know if you know who won!!

The other night Mandi called me to ask me if she could have a new puppy (asking me was better than asking my parents) Of course i said YES!! So this is our new little toy poodle named Little Orphan Annie, not only for her red curly hair. but because she truly is an orphan, and has had a rough nine weeks of life. But she's better now, and has a happy place to live and a new little mama named Amber! Annie may forget how to walk if Amber doesn't put her down!! They play so good together! Now if Misty, the other dog, would start to like her everything would be perfect!!

While i was spending the week with Eleanor and Quincy, we went and got the girls pictures taken at Kiddie Kandids to surprise Valynn!! I think they turned out so so cute, I just love all of their big smiles! All of the girls were so good and loved to pose for the camera! Plus, most of the dresses were made by my mom, so the pictures are extra special!!

i miss you mom and dad!!

Wahoo for the Zoo!! Brandon and Valynn left for their cruise on Sunday so Mandi, Mom, and Me too the little girls to the Zoo!! It was quite an adventure. We saw the giraffes, gorillas, penguins, zebras, and Quincy elephants. (yes she told us they belong to her) We were all very hungry when we got there so first thing we ate lunch. Eleanor ate everybody under the table!! She ate 1 1\2 corn dogs, 2 cups of applesauce, some rice, a cup of ketchup, and an ice cream cone!! I was quite amazed, especially because every time we saw someone with popcorn she wanted it too. I think lunch was her favorite part. Quincy couldn't wait to see the elephants and ride the train. Amber's favorites were the zebras, giraffes and the train. At the end, each girl got to pick a souvenir, Amber got a stuffed Zebra that she named Tiny, Quincy picked an elephant puzzle and a zebra puzzle, and Eleanor got a bag with 4 tiny stuffed animals in it. She carries them around giving them lots of loves and drinks from her sippy cup.  It was a very good day although we were all very happy to get home. Enjoy the pics!! (I know there aren't any of the animals we saw, but the kids are cuter)   

Mothers Day!! Every Year for mothers day we do my Grandmas yardwork to get it ready for spring. Pruning, raking, platning, and weeding and such. Two of our best helpers were Amber and Quincy!! I'm pretty sure they are Worm Relocation Specialists by now. They relly loved to dig in the dirt! Happy Mothers Day to all the moms and grandmas!! Hope you all had a good one!!(a few days late i know)
