Columbus Zoo ~ 4/4/12

The boys and I headed to the Columbus Zoo over their Spring Break week. The Columbus Zoo is so nice. Many attractions to see. Here were some of our favorite on this particular visit.

The bats

These monkeys all sleeping in a line, snuggling on top of this scaffolding bar. Every once in a while you would see their tails sway as they corrected their balance to keep them from falling.

The Tigers. Always a favorite with Carson.

The Lion. He was pretty docile that day.

Alex was such a trooper. He was in his carseat/stroller much of the day. The only exceptions were for nursing, eating lunch (actually maybe he was still in their for that) and diaper changes. He was so happy. I think he enjoyed watching all the people, probably didn't really see that many animals.

Here are all three boys. Not sure why I tried taking a picture of them looking into the sun. Carson thought it was way too bright. It was a very pleasant day, beautiful weather ~ a bit cool in the morning but was really nice by the afternoon. The boys walked and walked and walked and when they were tired, we left. Key to a good day at the zoo!

Fall Photo Session

You may recall my post here which I mentioned having some pictures taken of the boys on a whirlwind weekend this past October. These photos were taken by Stacy Wiles of Wiles Photography. She is such a sweet person and does a wonderful job with the kids and takes beautiful pictures.

Here are some of my favorites.

Christmas Eve

We opened Christmas gifts the 5 of us on Christmas Eve.

Chad

picked up these safety glasses for the boys for their ball fights in the basement. Safety First! Love that picture of Andrew!

Alex showing his new wooden ball. Chad was so pleased when I found this little "My first Christmas" shirt and Santa hat on clearance last year at T.J.Max!

The boys opening up our new Wii.

In the picture below, Andrew was screeching "We got a Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" while Carson covered up his ears. Too bad the video of that is on our other camera and I don't know how to get those videos on the computer. You know it is an ancient camera from when Andrew was born. ;)

Andrew & Carson playing Mario Kart for the first time.

We had the Wii upstairs for a bit that afternoon but then moved it down to the basement. The boys actually go down there now to play it!

Merry Christmas!

Here are a couple of pictures of the boys taken on Dec. 4 in front of our Christmas tree. I took the picture on a Sunday after church. I wanted to take the picture right away when we got home from church but Alex had fallen asleep in the van. By the time he woke up, Carson had already changed out of church clothes into comfy clothes and was not about to change again just for a picture. Love that little guy and his clothing issues! He went through a phase where he wanted to always wear cozy things, but here as you see it is December and he is in shorts and a t-shirt.
