Wordless Wednesday

Helping her papa assemble the new rock band drums.

After the zoo yesterday I decided to head back home and stop halfway again at a hotel. I still am not up to par and I just didn't think I could make an eight hour drive in once chunk. 

We started the last leg today and Alayah got bored about an hour out of town and decided to color herself all over. She said it was her superhero arms. Silly girl

Zoo Day

I love taking Alayah to the zoo when we visit. It's both of our favorite thing. Too bad I still didn't feel very well while we were there.

It was also super hot which made it pretty miserable if we weren't in the shade. Alayah loved seeing the lions and the zebras....two of her favorite animals.

She was in an awesome mood all day and I love that she is at the point where doing things like this are enjoyable the whole time because I don't have to get on to her about anything.

By the end of the day she was burnt out and so was I. It was nice to be able to get back in the car and be in the air conditioning. :)

First time all together

Today was the first time ever that all the kids were together with their father. It was awkward for the moms, but I think it was great for the kids. There were a lot of things that I wish could have been different and a lot of things that made me question whether or not I will ever let them all be together at the same time again, but I think it was a good experience to have in pictures as I highly doubt Alayah will remember any of it. 

Alayah's brother really loves his sisters and I am sad that he doesn't get to see them very often. He would make an awesome full time brother.

Sisters Together Again

I took Alayah to see her sister today. I can't believe how much they both have grown. Alayah was excited to see her and they both enjoyed some chicken nuggets together and then took off playing.

I am so glad that I am able to get the girls together even if its only once a year. I hope this is a tradition that can continue for many years.
