New Do

After a shower everyone gave me a new do.

They covered my whole head.

Haha, we were a little annoyd with daddy.  He couldn't get a picture. 

I think this was like the 5th time.

Splash Pads

We were out this day and found this nice sea-life splash pad.

Swim Lessons Progressing

 

Fun Birthday Activities

For Tony's birthday we had a couple fun activities to do.  The first one was a water balloon fight, the second was a new water slide from Grammy & Roger and the third was their favorite- Pin the Tail on the Donkey, but we ran out of time.

 

Tony's Birthday Festivities

Tony had a great birthday with special visitors, Grammy and Roger.  We went to the movies to see Madagascar 3, Ft. Worth Zoo, a water slide and water balloon fight.

Happy Birthday pancakes.

We also went to Home Depot to build a truck. 

He LOVES to attend these workshops.

Alex working hard.

So is Aliana!

Time to open presents birthday boy.

He was surprised with a Lego cake.

Fort Worth Zoo

For Tony's birthday he wanted to go to the zoo.  So away we went on 4th of July.  When we showed up this is what we saw, a giant lizard on the top of a building wearing a festive hat and sporting red eyes that the kids weren't fond of.  They looked evil.

Looking looking Rhino really close to us.

Look at how cute this baby chimpanzee is.

Greeting the monkey.

Giraffe's are what Tony was looking so forward to.

We just entered the petting zoo.

Brushing a goat. 

 Funny thing, it was the only thing that the kids could touch.

Hanging out together in the blistering heat.

We walked into the Play Barn and Aliana instantly starting milking a cow.

We took the train back to the beginning of the zoo.  We were ready to call it quites and have lunch at Panera Bread.

I love how she's looking up at her daddy with a smile.  It was a candid shot.

4th of July Craft

I got this cute idea from www.Frugalgirls.com.

The kids made the petals & put together the flowers.  It came out so cute.

After the zoo and nap time, we did a little craft that I came up with. 

Popsicle flag with a question at the bottom of the page, hehe.

Preparing the playground

We are excited to start the ground breaking work on the playground for the kids.

Getting a shippment of stone for the boarder.

The kids really enjoyed watching this HUGE forklift go back and forth.
