Field Trip to Sasquatch Zoo

Today Madison and I went with her class to the Sasquatch Zoo in Crestview. It was the last field trip of the year.

Madison and her friend Cameron LOVED getting to be so close to the animals.

This one got a little too close.

Mommy Lemur with her two babies (one on her tummy and one on her back). Aren't they cute?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The raccoon decided to come out and say "Hello!"

The peacock wouldn't open its feathers for me.

Madison got to pet and feed the lemurs.

She also made friends with Bambi.

Her favorite find of the day was a feather that she found on the ground. We had a great day at the zoo!

Happy 60th Birthday, Granddaddy!

We can't believe that Granddaddy is 60 years old today! We wish that we could be with him as he celebrates his BIG birthday, but since we can't the girls made him a video.

We love you, Granddaddy! Hope you have a great birthday!

Mother's Day!

Clay was on call Saturday, so he slept most of the day Sunday. Needless to say Mother's Day got a late start at our house.

Madison picked out this carrot cake for me at Publix. The girls and I enjoyed a piece after lunch.

After Clay woke up, I got to open up my Mother's Day gift. I got a GPS, so I won't get lost when we move to Virginia.

We went to the Crab Trap for dinner. The girls loved that their kid's meals came in a bucket with a shovel. Madison decided to turn hers into a hat.

After dinner we stopped for some ice cream.

Mother's Day Gifts (from Madison)

Madison was very excited to get off the bus today and show me ALL of the things that she had made me for Mother's Day at school. I got a beautiful carnation and a hand card that said, "I love you this much!" She also made me a coupon book filled with the following coupons:
One Hug

One Kiss

Breakfast in Bed

Set the Table

Read a Book Together

Help with the Dishes

One Dance

One Walk Together

One Movie Together

One Smile

Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?

Each child in Madison's class made their own Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? touch and feel BIG book. The kids did a great job. The pages are made out of large pieces of construction paper. Madison loved getting to fingerpaint the animals and adding the touch and feel elements. After they completed their books they got to go to the other classrooms and read their books to other kids.

Madison is the flamingo sitting on the floor in the middle.

Here is a video of Madison reading her book to you:

Happy Birthday, Isaac!

Today we went to Isaac's 1st Birthday Party at McDonald's.

Ladybug Snack

Daddy and the girls got creative last night in the kitchen and made these cute ladybug snacks for dessert:

The took a half an apple and put peanut butter on it. Added the raisin spots, mini chocolate cookie head, and string cheese antennas.

Cute and YUMMY!
