Feast with the Beasts

Last night we went to the zoo here and had a "Feast with the Beasts". Besides paying way too much for food and dealing with the hoards of people, it was fun. They had a band playing, had jugglers, mascots, etc. etc...




Parker sleeping... we had to catch it on film because it doesn't happen very often. :)


Spencer getting ready for the climbing wall at the zoo.


Carly was a great spectator.


Spencer climbed almost to the top. We were so proud of him!

First Day of Kindergarten

Well, we dropped Spencer off this morning for his first day of kindergarten. He was so excited!



This picture was taken on Friday night when we met the teacher. Miss Holly on the left and the student teacher Miss Alex on the right.


Spencer all spiffed up for the first day.




Carly wanted to go too... she got her backpack on and was ready to go.

Backyard Camping and Baby watching

So, Spencer starts school next Monday and we are trying to get in the last bit of summer while we can... although having a new baby makes that a little difficult. So Kyle wanted to go camping and had to settle for the backyard as the wilderness to go camping in. They set up the tent and had a good night. (I think Kyle slept better than he has in a couple weeks... maybe THATS what really motivated the camping excursion.)


The campers


They really roughed it... they watched movies in the tent while the rain hit the roof while sitting on their nice air mattresses. Then they had warm chocolate chip cookies delivered to them... like I said - Rough!


The kids had fun running in and out of the tent. You can see the dark clouds rolling in... it rained all night, but they stayed dry. (Thanks for the nice tent Mom and Dad).


Parker at two weeks old.

Again, Parker at like 5 days old - first bath.


We took a trip to the zoo for a little while - I just needed to get out. Of course I was sore the rest of the day. I must be getting old!


The kids love to hold their new brother.



And we're all a little exhausted these days!

So, I think I'm finally feeling better. It hasn't been a fun recovery that's for sure, (my other two were cake compared to this one) but atleast the worst is over (hopefully). I'm still taking my antibiotics and feeling good. Yay for modern medicine!
