The Zoo

The boys LOVE the zoo. 

Jackson has been asking for months to go. It was on our Summer Bucket list but we put it off for a while due to the summer heat.

Jackson woke up at 6 oclock Saturday ready to go to the zoo! 

The fish tunnel is always a must!

We were really looking forward to seeing the new gorilla exhibit and it didn't disappoint. 

Lincoln loved them, and Jackson was so excited that they were Silverbacks!

:)

We said hi to Paddington and Lincoln roared at him for a while!

We also got to see the 3 day old baby giraffe. So cute!

We got caught in a downpour, and the boys loved running and splashing in the water.

Lincoln was very cautious during this trip to the zoo. He was sure to ask "He can't get out?"

Such a fun morning seeing some of God's creation together!

Thirty two

I decided I needed to blog about my birthday because so many people made it extra special, and I don't want to forget about it.

My love got up super early to go get me a latte and leave a sweet note on the mirror.

These two boys gave me lots of birthday wishes and love before school.

I received lots of birthday wishes, cards, and treats from teachers at school. 

Then, I got to take some teachers to observe a teacher at the school I worked at the last 5 years.

I saw so many sweet students from last year.

  Their big smiles, hugs, and the way their eyes lit up made my birthday so much better!

Love them!

 They even remember my birthday and wrote me the sweetest cards.

My boys continued to spoil me after school. 

 The card from Jackson and Lincoln said "I know we can be really draining, but you still fill our cups with love." Love, love, love my new YETI cup!

We then headed to swim team practice and met some friends at Menchies for a birthday treat. This lady is such a sweet blessing to my life.

It was such a great birthday with the ones I love! 

(Wish I would have gotten a picture with Brian.)

Praying I make the most of the next year and follow God obediently where ever He may lead me/us.
