A few shots from the last couple weeks :)

We checked our the zoo that just opened in our town....it left much to be desired! The kids had fun, which I guess is all that matters....but a lemur jumped on my shoulder and it took about an hour (and we looked through everything twice) to go through it...Oh well! I guess we will just drive an hour to the bigger zoo :)











 We bought a pool pass for the summer! We have gone swimming almost everyday! It is awesome :) Cara has gone from a floatie girl, to a little fish! She can totally swim (as long as she has her mask on) like a fish and it is fantastic! Alex is still in floaties, but he at least likes to swim this year :)

 
 
 
 We had cousins come down and stay for 6 weeks :) Cara and Alex were in heaven!! They were so sad when the girls left. We are looking forward to seeing them at Thanksgiving or Christmas!

 We had a fun time taking pictures....Cara wanted to try on her Christmas dress. I think she looks pretty in green :) Alex just loves his lego ninja shirt!





 We had a princess tea party :) Cara and I dressed up in pretty dresses, tiara's, make-up, and jewelry. She had a blast with the make-up and jewelry!! It was pretty cute. Alex joined us for the tea party, but did not dress up like a princess. He was quite adamant :)

Picture Day!!







Yay for picture day!!! We have been practicing our smiles all year long in preparation for this day :) Both of the children did awesome! I think this is the first awesome picture of them together in quite some time! I can't believe how fast time goes by. Cara is now 5 and Alex is almost 4. Wierdness!! I have a feeling the next few years are going to just fly by!!!!
