Lions, Tigers, and Bears - Oh My!

We were so lucky to have spent this past weekend with Mason and Gavin's Nana and Grandy! We had a great weekend packed full of fun. Here are a few pics from our trip to the Ft. Worth Zoo.
Gearing Up!
Let the fun begin!
Up close and personal.
Mason was so cute, he said hi and bye to every animal.
They wanted to pet them.
At least I got one looking at the camera.
Feeding the birds.
Gavin was not so sure of the birds at first.
Go Mason!! What an animal lover!
The fam.
Thanks Nana and Grandy for an awesome weekend! We can't wait to see you again in a few weeks!!! We love you!

A Walk In The Park

A simple Sunday, a simple lunch with my family, and a simple walk in the park is all it took to remind me of how simply wonderful life can be. Today was a precious day. Nothing extraordinary happened, no mountains moved, but none the less I would repeat today over and over again.
And they're off!
Hmmm. That's a weird looking ball.
High five brother!
Squirrel.
Hamming it up!
Do you see the death grip he has?
Time to hydrate.
Snack time.
Me and G.
Playground fun.
Such innocence.
Really?? Why can't I go higher?
Having a blast.
As I type the boys are tucked in bed and I am about to turn in myself. I am so very grateful for this day. I will head off to work in the morning and remember how special this weekend was!

It's Fall Ya'll!

Well...not quite. But I just couldn't wait to decorate anymore. The temperature has dropped below 1oo degrees for several days now and it is September so I thought I'd roll the decorations on out. Here are a few pics of the front porch. I really don't jazz up the interior of our house for fall so the porch is really the only spot at our house that gets decked for the season.
Gotta love fake pumpkins! These bad boys have lasted several years.
P for Palmer or "please come in" or "pretty please don't ring the doorbell and wake up my sleeping babies."
An old SLAH piece. It has aged (unlike myself - lol) but I still like it!
Thank you Hobby Lobby for having such great leaf bunches.
Thanks to my hubby who power washed the porch this morning while the boys and I went to stroller class.
Still so glad I snagged this bench last spring. The pumpkins look uber cute on it!
Happy Fall - Almost!

My Waiting For Fall Mantel

Alright heat it is time for you to pack up and leaf. I am ready for there to be a chill in the air, I'm ready to eat soup/stew/chili, and I am ready for Thanksgiving break. Although I loved my first week of teaching Kindergarten, I sure miss my little ones and can't wait to have more snuggle time with them.
As I was cleaning this week I decided to start prepping the casa for fall. I spruced up the mantle.
My crow found a new home.
I changed out the picture for this sweet one. They are on the back of an old fire truck. They just get cuter by the day!
