10 things - Z

I've been going back and trying to copy all of my old blogs to make a "memory book." Scrapbooking is difficult to get to most of the time so I figured that since the blog is easily accessible and has LOTS of pictures and stories that I could create a book using that and then just keep adding to it. As I was going back I noticed that I had at one time written the 10 things that I loved about each of my children. Sadly I don't have the time, energy or brain power to do all four kids tonight so I'm going to do Z today (since it is his birthday!) and then hopefully you will come back to see the others later (not sure how much later)...

10. His amazing smile
9. His incredible amount of energy
8. He's a smart one!!
7. The way he sits in his seat sideways, he never pulls it fully out he just scoots it to the side and sits on the edge
6. The way he tenderly tries to get Hobbes to like him, he talks very softly and gently sits next to him... until he can't do either any longer and completely freaks Hobbes out
5. How he always smiles in surprise when he rounds the corner at school and sees me standing there - then waits patiently for me to come and give him a hug (he wouldn't dream of getting out of line)
4. He never wants what I'm making for breakfast, if I want to make eggs (his favorite) he always wants something else
3. I love the way he wants to help me start the washer and dryer
2. He's learning (from his older brother) how to hide his dirty socks in obscure places
1. He is silly and funny!

Bedroom makeover

Since we rearranged rooms we have been trying to figure out what to do with the girls bedroom. Well yesterday as I was jogging through the neighborhood I found a daybed. Seemed like a good idea so I went back after my jog and it was still there. So now the girls have a daybed with trundle and they both love it! Here's pictures:

Tree Hugger

K had a project at school that required her to make something out of trash and it had to be usable for more than one time. So she decided to take an old pair of jeans and create a purse. As you can see once we got started we couldn't stop. We ended up creating two oven mitts and decorated an old pair of flip flops too. What a great time we had.

I love this girl - she's so awesome!

Wordless Weekday

You know you are in Texas in spring when...

... the landscape turns the most beautiful shade of blue. Aww sweet bluebonnets! I have Easter egg dying pictures, Easter egg hunting pictures and Easter dinner pictures but I'm going to opt to show you the beauty of God's creation today! Enjoy our 2010 bluebonnet pictures!

FW zoo day

Today we drove to Fort Worth (why? that's a long story and I have another one I want to tell). We had the babies with us, aka Z&A - so we decided to hit a new zoo the Fort Worth Zoo and we were pleasantly surprised!

We saw a white tiger, a lion roar and all the animals were very active. We saw giraffes, elephants, primates of all kind, bears, big cats, birds and several four legged varieties with hooves. It was a great zoo and a fun day for us all. Here's our picture montage (see you've waited and now you get what you wanted!). Thanks for your patience!
