A Day at the Zoo

Well, Wednesday of this past week was BEAUTIFUL!!! So, Annalee and I headed to the ZOO!!! One of mine and her favorite places! We have a pass to the zoo and love to go whenever we can, but this was our first trip since November of last year! Due to the holidays, cold weather and snow the past 3 months!!! We really enjoyed our trip! It was unusually crowded- for a Wednesday- but FUN nonetheless!!! Here are a few pics from our day together!!!





Here she is making a "Scary" face in the "Scary" cave!!!



Playing in the tunnels on the playground!

Brushing the goats- one of her favorite things to do!

And last, with the giraffes!!! He was so close eating off this tree! So, needless to say- we had so much FUN!!! Days like this, make me realize how truly blessed I am to get to spend this time with her each day!!!

I Can Do It!!!

Well, I haven't blogged in a LONG time!!! Why? Partly from being so busy and mostly from being really lazy! It's hard sometimes with the busyness of everyday to just sit down and reflect! Well, I'm going to try to do a little better at it! I think I've said all this before, but really, this time is it! So, here's to me knowing "I Can Do It!!!"

Spring Has Sprung

Spring is officially here and the weather has been great the past few days!!! Annalee is so glad that we can go out and play pretty much everyday!! She loves being outside! Too bad she is so fair skinned though- we keep the sunscreen right by the door!! Here are some pictures from Easter! This is her after our church's Egg Hunt at the park. She was a "Master Egg Hunter!" She would find and egg, pick it up, throw it in her basket, and SPRINT until she found another. Easter was so much fun this year! And not only that but she knew that this day was about Jesus. She would say, " Jesus he was on that cross." It was precious!!!

Here she is coloring eggs! She had a great time and of course had colored hands by the time it was over!!

Here we are all ready for church on Easter morning!! My grandmother made her dress! So, cute!! We thought it was going to be too short, but it turned out as Annalee would say, "Perfect!" Chuck says he looks like a GIANT in this picture, but he is 6'2"!! And even though we didn't plan it, we all kinda matched that morning!

This is the Crabbie sandbox the Easter Bunny left her! She loves it!! And the Easter Bunny happened to magically leave some sand bags in Daddy's wheelbarrow in the garage! She said, "Wow! That bunny did leave that here for you Daddy!" "It's to fill up that sandbox!" We went to eat lunch with Chuck's family after church and then to Egg hunt at my Mom and Dad's house later on that night. It was a busy day!!! This last picture is the "Sprinting" I was talking about! It was hard to get pictures of her hunting eggs! She's fast for a 2 year old! It is one of my favorites- Smile on the face, Sprinting, and you can really see how long her hair is getting! She is growing up too fast! I hope all of you had a great Easter too!!!
