AWESOME!

As it has been forever since I have posted a blog I now have picture of Baby Kate (Amy and Zach's new arrival) at two weeks old and I now have pictures from yesterday of her at 5 weeks old that I will post in my next blog. She is absolutely adorable.

I think she was over me taking pictures of her.
The happy family.

Cole continues to want to go see the animals at the zoo and when you ask which animals he wants to see it is always elephants, giraffes and monkeys. Unfortunately there is not a zoo locally that has these animals so we hoped that the Junior Museum would suffice. Shari and Joshua joined us a few weeks back and the boys had a great time. Here are some pictures from the "zoo."

Swiper the Fox.

They had a race on the slides.

Peek a BooHe climbed up on this tire monster and then realized getting down was not going to be as easy as climbing up.

We finally were able to make a trip to Destin to visit with Todd, Carly, Brody and Wade. The boys are 18 months old now and are absolutely adorable. We had a great visit and the boys played so well together. Saturday morning we new, despite the freezing weather, we had to get the boys out and get some energy out of them so we took them to the park. Carly's friend Whitney and her daughter Campbell joined us and they all had a great time playing together. We had such a great visit and it is always such a shame to live so far apart and not be able to get together more often.

Here are all the kids climbing up the jungle gym and sliding down the slides.

Brody coming down head first.

Here comes Cole.

Wades turn.

Pile up on Slide 2

The pile up had begun to clear as Campbell and Wade were able to shake free.

Carly wasn't going to let the kids have all the fun!
