Leapin' Lizards!

The boys love playing with the lizards in the backyard. They had a ball on Saturday catching them. Logan tried to put one in his pocket but the little guy rebelled and bit and held onto his shirt for dear life. We had a tail casualty but all in all I think everyone came out relatively unscathed.

Not sure why but Hayden wanted to "share" his iPod with the lizard...poor little guy.

They will miss catching lizards...the lizards won't!

Making the grade

It's report card time! As if I were expecting anything different...the boys did great! Logan's teacher wrote that she was "very proud of Logan's hard work". Hayden received A's in reading, language and spelling; and B's in math, social studies and science. Which is confusing to me because math and science are his favorite subjects. His teacher says that he does well in everything but he hurries and makes careless errors. We're working on it.

I am very proud of them!

A weekend of firsts! On Sunday we took Bryn to the Audubon Zoo, her first trip to the zoo! The Robichaux's went with us and it was a gorgeous 83 degree day!

My little Buddhas

The first animals we encountered were the elephants. Bryn was in awe! She just stared at them and pointed..."doggie".

The carousel

I was a little nervous to put her on the animals that go up and down. So we sat on the bench and she loved it. She didn't know where to look. It was cute.

Say cheese!

The little monkeys! Bryn, Hayden, Logan, CJ and Danica.

Parin and Brynnie

Daddy and Brynnie

All tuckered out...she missed out on the giraffes.

That is some BIG bamboo!

As soon as we got to the zoo all Hayden wanted to see was the Komodo Dragon. It was the last thing we saw and he was clearly not happy.

I tried to get a picture with my boys...and well now Logan was pouting. I can't even remember why!

We had a lot of fun. Bryn got a stuffed elephant to remember her first zoo trip by. She seemed to really like the elephants the best. Hayden and Logan liked the snakes the best so they each got a toy snake. We were all so tired from being in the sun all day so we stopped for ice cream. The perfect ending for the perfect day!
