Betty's Birthday

My baby girl turned 4! I just can't get over how fast time goes with kids. It makes me sad to think someday she will be having babies of her own. So I try no too haha...

For Betty's birthday we went up to the Tucson and went to Reid Park Zoo.. It was pretty awesome.. I of course took a butt load of pictures.. So here they are...







This guy came right up to me.. and couldn't get enough of my camera haha







He liked me taking his picture so much, that when I tried to take this guys picture he got VERY upset haha


Not a very good picture, but I had to share the story...
Our cousins told us that if we got to the Polar Bear cage and he was not out
We should call his name and he would come out
So we get there and he is not out. 
The 3 older kids start calling his name, and calling his name
"Kolby!" "Kollllbbbyyy!" "Koooooolllllbbbbyyyyy!"
Nothing happens
They lose interest and start heading down the ramp
Jackson takes off after a bird, so I go chasing him
Then he walks up to the cage and plain as day
Calls out in his little voice "Kolby!"
And
Out comes the polar bear..
It was so cute!




I have never in my life seen an ant eater!
This picture cracked me up when I saw it...




This cat reminded us of Miranda's cat Scout haha




If you look closely Betty is trying to make Jackson smile haha

After the Zoo we headed over to the park across the street for lunch.





Jackson has never had a squeeze it before and he was not giving it up for anything haha












After all the fun in Tucson, we stopped off at Costco and got Betty a cake
Then we headed over to Poppies to celebrate..
I think she had a pretty good birthday <3

Wheres the restart button?

I am seriously in the need for a "Restart Day". A day where I can just start all over again. Restart the kids chore charts, restart their schedules, restart my schedule, and restart my diet. But I don't see that day coming until at least next week. For today, I will be attempting to get Samuel and Aidan through at least most of their lessons. I am going to watch my carb intake, but I am probably not going to exercise. I will attempt to get things cleaned up after Betty and Jackson but no promises. I will however get all the laundry done, folded and put away including bedding. I will watch my temper, however I might lock myself in the bathroom for a good cry. I just feel frustrated and unprepared for the day. I hate when I feel like this. So heres a prayer I will be keeping my heart today...

If its going to be a bad day, I only ask that it ends quickly and with out anyone having to get rushed to the ER. 
I ask that I can find the good in the bad, and I ask that I can not sweat the small stuff. 
I ask that I can have a better attitude.  
In the name of Jesus Christ 
Amen!

Seemed like fun haha

 
1. Go to wikipedia and hit "random." The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band:
Life Story

2. Go to quotationspage.com and hit "random". The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album: 
Afraid only of standing still

3. Go to flickr and click on “explore the ...last seven days.” Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover

4. Use paint/photoshop/picnik.com/whatever to put it all together. Voila.
