family trip to the zoo

A couple Sundays ago, we packed up the car with my family, my sister's family, and my parents and hit the road to Binder Park Zoo! It was fun, even though Charlie was "scared" of all the animals, but she loved the tram to Africa!

This is Adria... beautiful, Adria. Bubbles, bows, and a bit of attitude - true girl.

Glam-Girls

For our last small group ever, I surprised my girls by secretly getting their prom dresses, and taking them to the studio for a out of the blue photo shoot! oh, and I jumped in for a few. Scary... a prom dress actually fit me!

Update...

So I feel like I have neglected this blog... life can really get going and I forget what I'm supposed to do. But since spring and summer hit, we've been a busy little family. As you can see I have had some stuff going, and I'm getting a few more, which I'll post shortly. But mainly yard work, softball, and family life have been consuming my time. I thought I'd add a few fun things from our Memorial Day camping trip and my glamour shots with my small group from youth group.
Enjoy the less professional side!
