Last week Matt was gone the whole week...YUCK!! We spent a lot of time at the park. Here are a couple pics.

Anna also helped me make cookies. She loves to help me bake! She is very good at dumping things in and helping me crack the eggs. Thank you Ms. Nikki for helping me see that I could trust my little Anna to help!!! We had a lot of fun!

Cute Random Video

This video cracked me up when I saw it. We were watching the Tigers play, and Anna does her cheer, and it is so cute. The best part though is in the background where Sam is quietly playing...with Anna's little toilet!

Our Frugal Fotography Session

Last week we had a photo session with our friend Jess Coleman of Frugal Fotography. She and the kids did a great job!! We set up a tea party for Anna down by the lake and playground in our neighborhood. She loved it! Especially the cupcake part :) She even let Sam sit with her for a minute.

This was Anna's face when she discovered there were ducks coming over to check things out!

Thank you Ms. Jessica for taking our picture and Thank you to Ms. Rachel for enhancing some of the pictures. Everything came out GREAT!!!!!

Since it was so hot outside Saturday we decided to go to the zoo! The kids had fun, and we can't wait until it is a little cooler so we can go again. It was worth the heat because we got to see Anna and Sam's cousin.

Anna REALLY wanted to see elephants. She kept yelling, "There's the elephants!" every time she saw an animal. She yelled it when we got to the giraffes, and the okapi. People were stopping and looking around to see where elephants were! We finally found them, and she stood watching them for a while and then yelled, "He's pulling weeds Mommy!" He was eating a pile of grass. So cute!

Pointing out elephants to Daddy.

Mission accomplished! He took a gooood nap!

Feeding the Ducks

This weekend we stayed at Mimi and Pop's house. The first night we went to feed the ducks and there were a TON of them! There were also turtles and fish eating the bread. Anna and Sam loved it, and were yelling and pointing...we had NO camera. Oh well, we went again the next night and got some pictures. There were no ducks though :( I guess they were full from the night before!

Where are the ducks?

Sam was very eager to feed the turtles popcorn!

He was always grabbing a handful...

Busted!! He was not feeding anybody but himself!

He was very interested in the lights down the boardwalk, he is such a curious little guy!

Audrey and Grandad's House

Matt took the kids over to his Grandparents' house while I had a spa date with my friends Saturday. They played outside and had fun!

She actually blew some bubbles herself. Usually she just spits everywhere!

I laughed when I saw this picture. This is how Sam tells us he is thirsty!

Bouncin Bears!

Today we went to Bouncin Bears with a bunch of friends. It was great! It is full of things the kids (and moms!) can jump on and slide down. They had fun, and got a ton of energy out! It was the best $5 I have ever spent!

Anna plays the drums!
