Picnic at Amy's! Last Thursday we all met for a picnic lunch. It was a gorgeous day to enjoy the sun. After we ate the horses got the left over apple cores. Yum!

Thursday evening there was an Art Show at preschool. We loved Patrick's art so much that we stopped for ice cream afterward.

They made flip-flops...

The life cycle of a caterpillar...

And something...

Joslin loves this rocking chair. She crawls right over and climbs in. She will even rock it some. Too fun!

Catching up

So many pics to post...

Happy Birthday Joslin!

We had a friend make a little cake for Joslin. She sampled a little frosting before digging in for more. She did a good job of eating it without too much mess.

Joslin wants daddy to have some too!

Joslin enjoyed reading her cards!

Grampa Frazer made Joslin a train. It is wonderful! Patrick is playing with it a lot too.
Mem painted a table and 4 chairs. I will have to take another picture of the top. Each corner has a different season. Joslin has such talented grandparents! She got a quilt from Aunt Laura and her family. It is made from antique squares. I need a picture of that too.
I love this picture of Joslin with her cousins.
I can not beleive Joslin is one. Wow- time goes by so quickly. To me she is still my tiny baby girl but she is starting to walk and climb everything in sight. She eats like crazy and loves her big brother. She crawls all over the cat and grabs on the dogs. So much change in one year. We love her more every day!

Pictures from Patrick singing in choir. He looks so little in his robe and so cute! I love watching him walk up the aisle, scanning the pews for people he knows.

He has spotted me! Sometimes he sneaks in a little wave. Too cute!

Look what we found in the garden!
They are both so sweet! Jason took them for a ride back to the garage.

More pictures to come...

Happy Easter!

Zoo

This week is spring break for us so Jason took a day off work and we all headed to the zoo.

Patrick was surprised at how big the claws were on the bear. "Big bone claws" he called them. There were two swans chattering as they searched for food. They made a lot of noise when the Canada Geese were visiting their area.

There were not many people at the zoo and we got right in to see the baby elephant. We got to watch it walk around with its mother. It was born last year a week before Joslin was born!













The tiger was showing off too and was walking back and forth in front of the glass. Patrick and Joslin both enjoyed watching it.































We stopped for lunch outside the Asian Quest area. We were joined by a Canada goose and two mallards looking for handout.






Joslin enjoyed watching the fish and the manatees. They were actually feeding the manatees when we got there. They were dropping large pipes in the water with heads of lettuce sticking out one side.

The merry-go-round. Patrick opted for the bench seat.
This kangaroo was soaking up the sun right next to the trail. We got a nice close up look!
The gorillas... Patrick had a fabulous time watching the gorillas. There was one young gorilla that was really showing off and all the kids were laughing at him. The little gorilla would climb up on a branch and then jump off and slap the glass on his way down. Then he would climb on his rope swing and sway back and forth, back and forth. Then he would climb on his branch and start the whole thing over again.

Patrick and Joslin at the end of our day.
