I wanna see a gorilla...

Eric was home last Monday so we could take Kinsey to her dr's appointment and after we got the great news from that appointment we decided to do something fun --- so where else do you go on a nice Spring day?? THE ZOO!

Ashley was soooooo excited when we picked her up and told her where we were going. We definitely had a fun family day with the monkeys, lions, giraffes, & elephants; however I think Ashley's favorite part may have been the snake house....or maybe the bronze statues --- she took a picture next to EACH one we saw ;)

The zoo has a new section -- there is a restaurant that has one entire wall of glass and guess who Ashley found --- a LION! She stayed by the glass the entire time we fed Kinsey and enjoyed a snack ourselves. She thought this was the coolest thing ever.

Ashley got to fee the giraffes. She is a brave girl :) That long tongue kinda creeps me out :)

Sleeping? or Deep in thought? HMM....

Kinsey liked the giant turtles.

Eggstravaganza

Our church hosted a HUGE Easter Egg Hunt. The girls had a blast!

On your mark, get set, ready GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kinsey Claire even founds some eggs :)

Ashley + George = BFF

George is a monkey -- he belongs to Mrs. Marcy's Pre-K Class. All of the kids in the class take turns letting George spend the weekend with them. We *finally* got George a few weekends ago and I cannot even begin to describe how EXCITED miss Ashley was when I picked her up from school. She came running to the door of her classroom so excited to tell me that George was coming home with her! We had a lot of fun with George and at the end of the weekend we made a scrapbook page of our weekend with George for Ashley to share with her class. This particular weekend was pretty busy (aren't they all?) because we were driving down to Houston to visit some of our closest friends, The Frey's.

Ashley and George at the Park -- George liked swinging!

Ashley made sure that George was all buckled into his carseat right next to hers.

Go LION QUEENS!

Ashley started playing soccer last fall and is really enjoying her second season on the Lion Queens this spring! She is learning the basics and is having a great time! She's such a cute little soccer player!

Kinsey likes going to the games and watching big sister from her stroller.

The Lion Queens finished up the season UNDEFEATED! Way to go, girls!!!! Looking forward to many more great season with our little miss soccer player!

St. Patty's Day

Kinsey enjoyed her first St. Patrick's Day in style along with Ashley :) Ashley learned about pinching this year for those not wearing green. She had soccer practice and made sure to wear green bows with her pink soccer gear :)
