Getting ready for vacation! 5/8/14

We woke up to Juli running into our bedroom yelling "hurry up, I need help!" When we walked into the hall she was stuffing as many dogs into the crate as possible. We all had a good laugh! She was worried one of puppies might get left behind. 

 The dog was very excited for a car ride, but not sure why we had packed so much stuff. Thankfully we have a good kennel for her.


Got to meet up with my sister Heather, and my mom when we arrived in Cape Canaveral. Had a fun dinner on the beach and Jayden got to run in the sand.

Trying to get a picture with Grandma. They were all acting silly.

Western Booth Art Museum - Civil War Comes Alive 5/2/14

Every year the Western Booth Art Museum hold a huge event celebrating the Civil War! Lots of cannon demonstrations, black smith demonstrations, rifle demonstrations, and spinning cotton.




This year the kids were old enough to sit through the Gettysburg Address.






We enjoyed lunch outside and then all the kids were playing in the grass singing songs from Frozen. Juli loved it.

They have a really cool kids area called Sagebrush Ranch. 


Jayden loved the wall of presidents. 


A trip to the zoo 4/24/14

Had fun spending time at the zoo with friends. Got to see lots of babies!








 When we got home from a long day at the zoo, the kids cuddled up with dog and read to her. 

GA Veterinary College open house 4/4/14

What a wonderful event! The kids learned so much. They had pretend surgery stations and Juli got to try removing kidney stones. Craft stations, tours of the animal hospital, and demonstrations. 



Juli's favorite animal, besides dogs!

Trying to lasso!

Yes, she asked for one, of course I said no!


We will definitely attend this event again!
