Tuesday Mash-up

I have been M.I.A!

I have had so much going on these past few weeks, it's been hard to find time to put everything into a blog! I am going to call this a Tuesday Mash-up!

For Father's Day, Willie wanted to go to the pool! It was his day... so off to the pool we go. (I really wanted to go too, but it's more fun to let him think it was just for him) We lathered on sunscreen, put on our swim suits and strolled down to our neighborhood pool.

Molly while we were getting ready!



Soon after we arrived, I fed Molly and she went straight down for a nap!

She's sitting up so WELL!! She is also ready to crawl.. she still just hasn't conquered the moving forward part. She rocks back and forth, and can also belly flop forward! She wants to do it so bad. It's only a matter or days I think before she'll get it. Of course I've been saying that for the past 2 weeks. On her own time she will!



My Pandora charm bracelet!

For my birthday this year, Willie and Molly started this for me. I got the bracelet, 2 clips and the frog and baby carriage charms for my birthday. At the beach when we met up with my BFF since the 3rd grade Amanda, she gave me the little November girl charm to the right. And the newest members to my wrist are from my friends/neighbors, which was super sweet for hosting a bridal shower!

These mason jars were our drinking glasses for the southern style bridal shower I hosted over the weekend for my friend Song. Hopefully I will have pictures to share soon. I didn't take ANY pictures that day.

What was I thinking?

Father's Day night, we had dinner at my parents house. My dad was holding Molly on the couch and she fell asleep.

This MELTS my HEART!

Whelp, I guess I should get on with my many things on my

 to-do list today! And I have goals to complete posts I should

 have had completed weeks ago!

Til Then!

Zoo Who?

I'm a bit behind in the blogging world -- actually thats the story of my life.

The Tuesday after Memorial Day, Robin, Cooper and Wyatt, Willie, Molly and I headed to the NC ZOO in Asheboro. We had planned on going for about a week and we were all so excited to get together and go.

That morning, we loaded up in our car with packed lunches and bottles of water (and milk) and drove over to my sisters house in Pittsboro. We transferred Molly's car seat into my sisters Sequoia (it's a bus!), loaded in all the kids, and made our way to Asheboro.

Cooper and Wyatt were SO excited! Robin had taken Cooper when he was VERY little and was pregnant with Wyatt at the time, so this was basically their first time there too. Molly was a happy camper being pushed around in her "big girl" stroller.

We enjoyed seeing all the different animals. I really liked the zebras, gorillas, and the seals! Wyatt said his favorite was the

T-REX (aka not at the zoo) but later changed his mind to the gorillas, because Uncle Willie taught him to beat his chest like Tarzan. Silly Uncle Willie!

Cooper and Wyatt loved learning about the different animals, and there were a few expos on the outside of some of the areas. This photo below is a lady showing the boys the teeth of the alligators and the transformation a frog makes from tadpole to frog.

Wyatt loves to wear hats! Today's "hat" of choice was a gold crown. He was asked a dozen times if it was his birthday. Hilarious!

Can you see the exhaustion on these boys faces?

We were heading back to the main entrance after a long day of walking the entire park!



On our way home it starting POURING! We were so lucky to enjoy our day at the Zoo with bright sunny weather... glad the rain decided to hold out for us. As you can see, a little someone PASSED OUT!

We had such a fantastic time &

we will have to plan another trip to go again!
