The Zoo, A Trip to Waco, and Valentine's Weekend

We had a fun and busy week with some beautiful weather!  I'm so thankful we were able to spend lots of time outside, especially with how cold it got today!

On Monday we went to the zoo with Stephanie and Joanna!

 Graham and Anna ready to see the elephants.


 He LOVES the carousel!


 I wish you could hear the giggles in this picture!  Graham and Grace loved petting the goats!



 The big kids!

 And we finally got a picture of us!  I'm so so so thankful for these sweet friends.  

 And all of our kiddos!
Bennett, Graham, Grace, James - who is hidden behind Grace!, August, and Anna!

 Successful morning at the zoo?  Both boys slept for 3 hours that afternoon! :)

 Playing outside after naps.


 Picnic lunch on Tuesday after school.

 And this one loves being outside just as much as his brother!



On Wednesday afternoon the boys and I headed to Waco to celebrate Bop's birthday!
As soon as we got there Graham was ready to feed the ducks and play at the park!
And then he could hardly wait for Bop to blow out the candles so he could eat a cupcake!



 On Thursday morning we visited Bop at school and took him coffee.

 And then Graham ran wild at the bounce house place!  He went non stop for about an hour and a half, and I had to bribe him to leave to avoid a meltdown!  Such a great place on a cold, winter day.




 Thankfully it had warmed up after naps so we were able to play outside.  And Gran and Poppa came over for dinner and a quick visit!

 G made cookies with Nana before bed that night!  He thinks he can do it, "All by myself!"  That would explain how brown sugar ended up all over the table! :)


 The best part!

On Friday morning we found a great new park that was perfect for Graham.  We played for awhile, had lunch at McAlister's, and then went by Bop's school to say bye before hitting the road!  Always such a great time in Waco!





Trent was already home from work when we got home, and we were so excited to see him!  We picked up our favorite Mexican food and enjoyed a relaxing evening at home.

 Our Valentine's set-up on Saturday morning!

 And my two little Valentine's! :)  
The boys headed to a pancake breakfast at church for dads and kids while I enjoyed a pedicure!  It was perfect!  We then went to a 3 year old birthday party at a park, and it was gorgeous weather and so fun!   Somehow I didn't get a single picture.

 Playing outside after nap time!

 Reading Bennett a book!

 My Valentine!  He grilled steaks, and we enjoyed dinner on the patio with our boys.

 G and I watched Mickey and did some puzzles before bed - two of his favorite things!
Trent and I watched Fury that night - great movie!

Sunday morning was church and Sunday school before coming home for lunch and naps.
Then we had a special treat for Graham!  
We took him to see Sesame Street Live!

 Eating dinner before the show.

 His treat that he picked out!

 We love getting to do special things with just our big boy!


 The show was great!  Lots of dancing and singing.  G was pretty subdued and mesmerized the whole time, just taking it all in!

The crafts my boys made at church on Saturday morning.  Love these!
Such a fun weekend celebrating Valentine's Day with my boys!

Happy Monday!

  1. Such a fun week you had! We enjoyed your visit so much. I'm sure that Graham loved Seasame Street live. Such cute crafts the boys made at church. That is such a great idea.
