What a face!



I don't know how to describe this face. This face is made when he is mad, if you take something away from him, he doesn't get his way, and sometimes when he is really excited. This is the first time I have been able to capture this face in a photo. It is not very becoming, but it is his face and I love it! I wouldn't change his face for anything!

A Trip to the Zoo

We had the opportunity to go to the zoo last weekend. We also had the opportunity to have some great company come with us. We loved the animals we saw and the fun we had! Here are few pictures of our day.

More Rose Garden

Aunt Katie and Lindsay ( Yes, she is wearing Matthews 12 month clothes, it is a story and I didn't have any extra her size :))

Around the fountain ( we didn't realize it was 100 degrees until after we got home and checked the weather!)

Lots of flowers

Pretty in the sunset

I think this one was named sunset

Aren't They Pretty?

I love when the Rose Garden is in full bloom. It is a nice, peaceful time to walk and see all the beautiful plants. The roses are amazing and pictures can't even do them justice. I love the variety of colors and sizes. I just love flowers!

I thought the Rose Tree was really interesting. I hadn't seen one before!

Out to the Lake

Today we went to Wagon Train Lake with playgroup. I had never been there before and I was really impressed with the good upkeep of the beach. Lindsay was in her element. She only came out of the water to scoop up sand to take back in the water, except for once and that's when she was so hungry she quickly ate her sandwich and headed back to the water for more fun!

Matthew was a little trooper. He enjoyed his first time swimming in a lake. He loved it so much he tried to eat all the sand and drink all the water! After playing hard for a while, he settled into the stroller for lunch and a nap the rest of the afternoon.
