Zoo Field Trip

This is Ella at the end of the day before leaving! She had a long and fun day!
Hannah and Ella in the giant Texas chairs in Texas town. They needed to take a load off.

The girls were so excited to look at the elephants. There was a baby elephant, sort of. He is 10 years old but amazingly a lot smaller than the others and the girls got a kick out of it.

At the beginning. They are very ready to go!

Yesterday I went to the Zoo with Ella and her Kindergarten class. My mom kept the little kids so I could go alone and spend the day with Ella. I also signed up to chaperone a group but only ended up with 1 extra little girl. HEr name is Hannah. She was pretty easy and the girls and I had a lot of fun. Here are a couple of photos from the day!

Our girls!

These are my girls. Chip (Elizabeth), Hannah and Rachel Anderson. At one point they were my young women, babysitters, and then became friends to our family. They were my heros while Jared was away. I do not know what I would have done without them. One day I hope my little brother will marry Chip but we shall see. These are some of the neatest girls I have known. THey belong on my family blog!

The Patriarch of Our Family

Oh that is one sexy beast of a man right there!
He is always talking about how kids wont smile but I was trying to get areal smile out of him and this is what I got. Hmmm...maybe he should take some of his own advice! :)

This is just a copy...dont know how it got on here.

Holy Crap! That was hilarious!

Oooohhhh....sooooo scary!

Somebody ticked off the beast!

Jared was in town this weekend and last night he and I played an intense game of Uno. We always play board games and card games together. Being a photographer he is always takin pictures, well I stole his camera and he became my model for awhile. He is the prince of faces. I have to say prince because I think his dad holds the crown on that one. He was a nice little model and we had fun!

Santa!

I know this is old but I am just now taking the time to do this. At Christmastime my hospital had Santa fly in on a helicopter. My boss let me go get Breil so he could come see Santa. The news was their and Breil made it on. He shot webs for the Camera Man! It was hilarious!

Spiderman

So many of you may not know that Spiderman lives in our house. Sometimes he is good and sometimes he is bad. Everyday Breil wears his costumes. Sometimes it is the red one and sometimes it is the black one. When I say everyday I mean it too. The ladies at daycare love it. I do wash them and I do make him alternate for hygene sake but other than that he has them on everyday. It is like the little kid flash from Daddy Daycare. Hilarious. Well, when Jared got into town he made him take them off. He told him to be Peter Parker for awhile. He was cool with it for about a day and then that was it. He never let the personna go though. While Jared was trying to take pics for our Christmas card he could not get him to stop shooting webs. I thought this was worth sharing.

Giving Thanks!

Jared was here for the holidays! We had so much fun. He was here for 4 days! I loved it. We took the kids to the park and really just hung out. It was amazing. Here are just a couple of shots!

little boys

This is Harlee and my cousin Christian. He will be 6 in January and he is the youngest of four kids and the only boy. He is ALL boy but man did he love little Harlee. He was so precious. I had never met Christian before and it was a true joy to get to know this sweet little boy. My Harlee sure thought he was special too!
