What a zoo!!!

Life at our house is usually a zoo!! Addyson and Braden love to pull things out of cabinets, drawers, you name it. And now have learned to throw them!! So as a result my floors are usually hazardous; it's amazing I haven't broken an ankle yet!! Here you can see what I mean.

So, since it's a zoo at home we thought we would take the kids to the zoo in Wichita. Even though these pictures don't exactly look like it, we all had a great time. The kids were pretty sleepy but they had fun. Addyson waved at every animal that she saw.

Sitting in front of the grizzly bears. It's not Alaska, but probably as close as we'll get for a while!

Watching the storms. We had to leave the zoo because it was getting stormy. We knew there was a chance but when Ryan asks if we want to go, we go!! It was probably long enough for a first visit anyway.

These days Braden is walking as fast as he can all over the place. His new favorite toy is a bat that he carries around with him.

Here he is waiting at the back door asking to go along with daddy.

And being goofy. He gets stuck all sorts of places lately.

Addyson some days can be encouraged to take up to 7 tiny steps. But most days takes a couple and then plops down on the floor. But she will hold on to my hand with one of her hands and walk quite a ways. One of these days she will just take off!! Here are some cute pics of her.


When I ask Addyson where her nose is, this is what she does every time. Watch this:



Here we are on Mother's Day - way after the kids bedtime. But oh well, at least we remembered to take a picture! I'm so glad God lets me be their mommy.

Here they are just being silly. And they are totally hilarious lately!!

And playing with their daddy - what could be more fun??
