Zoo!

Yumm!

Fun at the play centre

The mamma Kangaroo and her three big babies

Also one of Kathryn's favorites of the day

End of a long hot six hours of walking at the zoo

Kathryn's favorite sight. The fish!.

Mariah's idea of a cute family photo. It was fun.

Matthew could not get close enough to the elephants

I don't know what it was but this mother elephant looked so beautiful to me. I could have stood by her all day.

Family Day at the ZOO!

Prehistoric Park:

Matthew's reaction to every dinosaur, ( "Whooow!").
The kids favorite part of the prehistoric park was all the rocks and structures to climb on and hide in.

Kathryn liked this ride much better than the stroller.

ONE already!

I know that each day passes as I crawl into bed, but I swear she grew up the day she turned one. I can't believe how fast the year has passed by. My little baby is ONE, and still incredibly cute. Happy Birthday baby Girl!, I love you.

CAKE!

"K" its suppose to look off balance and crazy, but some how I made it look worse. Oh and the sticks are sparklers.

However strange it may have looked, the birthday girl enjoyed it anyway.

Happy Icecream eater.

This old swing has seen a few generations. Its still one of the best swings ever.

Birthday gifts. She's in heaven and will be for many days to come.

KISSES!

This one looks almost painful.

Ellie, Miah, & Lyd's

Saying good bye

Saying good bye is always hard. It helps to know that she is going to a good family who will love her. I must admit though, that I miss her early morning companion ship while I set the sprinkler and weed the garden. That was our time, it seems a little lonely now. Magg's we love you!.

Summer fun

Kathryn's Rugby stance. training early.

The after math of swimming in a pull-up. Sweet tan lines.

Daddy with sober, teething little Kathryn

My wild, but happy girls. its always fun at Grandma's house!.

These three are inseparable at times. They insisted that they needed to swing together at the same time. So they stuck a board through the swings making it one large swing. I'm so glad they are enjoying their childhood and building good memories. Sydney,Lydia, and Elizabeth.

some of my recent favorites

Matthew, just after swimming at grandma and Pa Orr's( taken by Mariah).

Kathryn at Grandma and Pa Orr's ( taken by Mariah).
Happy little chocolate eater. My kids cleaned out the bowl after we had made a batch of cookies, and then left it lying on the floor where Kathryn discovered it, much to her delight.
