Petting Zoo Party

We decided to celebrate Jonas and Reese's birthday together this year! We had a petting zoo come to our home and it was a blast. It appeared a "lil" chaotic, but the kids had so much fun petting and holding these animals. I took 255 pictures and just a few made it to the blog. If you want to see all of them, let me know and I will forward you a link. The animals that came: horse, mini horse, pony, llama, 2 goats, cow, baby chicks, puppy litter, and bunnies!!!!!!

Here is their cake that I made from a Betty Crocker website

Branson for Reese's Bday

As we start off any trip with the same traditional pose... that Jason is trying to protest :)

The kids on Reese's birthday.... she has a lil' bloody nose in this one.

At Ruby Tuesday's

This silly face goes along with a game that Jason plays with the kids while jumping on the trampoline. We all decided to make silly faces :)

Reese not sure what to think of her first birthday ice cream dessert for the day.

Train Ride

Jonas thought this was the coolest since he is SO into trains and Polar Express is one of his favorite movies. He is looking at where his ticket just got punched by the conductor!

Last Birthday Dessert at The Rib Crib

We had a great time in Branson. We knew that it was supposed to get bad weather, but I think we really thought it wouldn't since Spring is starting to come forth. Here is what we dealt with on our way home.......

Reese turns 3!!!!!!
