Wow we have had alot of park days lately, I haven't considered myself a park person but since the kids have gotten bigger I enjoy them more and more, and so do they!

We be having some lazy days!!

 

 Lots of movies

 Checking out the web....

 Snuggling on the couch......

Sleeping.....

Sleeping, snuggling, and watching movies!! WOW we are multi-taskers!!

Days at the park are glorious now that my children are big enough to do things on their own a little!

 Merry-GO-Rounds, seriously, who thought up these things and how was I able to spin around and around and around on these things?  Makes me want to puke just looking at the picture!!

 Around and around around they go!!!

 It doesn't look like they are having fun, no right....right....oh but their looks are deceiving!!!

The kids LOVE to go up to Jared's office, mainly because they get to see dad, but the get see everyone else, eat treats from Papa, get drinks out of the fridge and watch shows with daddy on his computer!

We love that daddy has his on office and that the doors are always open!!

The boy and his pup!  Ryan and Opal have a love hate relationship, some days are better then others.  Some days Ryan picks at her and somedays she picks at him, but they love eachother!!

This is one happy boy!  He found this tiny turtle in the little creek after our Easter Egg hunt!  He was so excited and fished it out of the water all by himself.  I think the smile says it all!  He kindly let all the kids there hold it and investigate the tiny little creature! 

 

Sis gave it the hairy eyeball up and down and from all angles!  She was happy to hold it but wasn't so sure!

 Turn it this way and that!  Get a good look!

The hunt was on!  Last year our egg hunt was drizzley and wet, this year it was beautiful and sunny!! LOVE IT!

Here are all the kids lined up waiting to go!!

 And they were off!  I couldn't get a picture of Ryan he was too quick dashing from egg to egg!  Caroline was a tad bit slower.

 Look at his basket, no wonder I couldn't keep up!!

I think from that smile it was a wonderful time!!

You want to know the best part, I am a mean mom and didn't let the kids open their eggs and we used those eggs 3 more times for different egg hunts!  My kids can't handle all the sugar and they hardly asked for them-out of sight out of mind right?  Better off with someone else's kids?? RIGHT? RIGHT!

Sometimes as a parent we do things with the kids because we want to do them and we know the kids will enjoy it.  Other times we do thing purely because we know the kids will enjoy it!  This was definitely one of those moments!  I took the kids to story time at preschool on their off day!  They were enthralled, and engaged, I don't get it but they loved it!!

 The story lady was dressed as a bunny and she did AMAZING tricks!!  She turned her bunny into a flat bunny and back!!  AMAZING!!

 Sis enjoyed it to!!

 HILARIOUS!!!

We went to the Dallas Zoo with Mimi and Gramps the other day and  we had a blast!!!!  The weather has been glorious!!  I was so excited to see a koala bear!

We fed the giraffes, Gramps even sprung for the food!  The giraffes LOVE you if you are feeding them but the moment the food is gone so is their love!!

 Look at that sweet look!  He loves his Gramps, and we love having them close by!

 Apparently it was bath time for the lions!

We took these cuties to the Childrens Opera during spring break, and they had a blast!!  They all(4) sat so still and paid such close attention it was amazing!!  Caroline will still retell me the whole story(Little Red Riding hood with a Twist) They were so good that we went to the Friday performance too!!

This is every little boys dream!!  We went to Uncle Johns house a couple of weeks ago and I think Ryan thought he was at Disneyland!!

 He got to drive John Deere Tractors and shot guns, could it get any better then that??

Caroline got her turn at the wheel too, much to her brothers chagrin!! 

Now come the big guns!!

Now brother is giving sis a lesson(oh man that is scary!!!) and here I am just clicking away as though that is a normal thing to see happen!! :)

 Concentrate, Concentrate!!

 I'm telling ya, better then Disneyland for this little boy, I don't think his grin left his face the entire time!!
