Olivia on her first trip to the Zoo.

I had to have a picture of Olivia at the zoo for the first time. She kept waving to all the people passing so it was hard to get a picture, so these are okay...she wasn't much on smiling, but they are fine.

This zoo was awesome...90 acres and FREE!!! We couldn't believe it. We all had a wonderful time and Mrs. Betty's knee help up GREAT. She kept up with us and everything. We even went other places the rest of the day and although it was sore and a little swollen, it did great. We all really enjoyed the zoo and would highly recommend it to anyone spending time in St.Louis.
More to come in a little while!

Our kids

Cool Cameron and his monkey Nana and Papaw bought him. He named him Louis!! (Louie, guess why...St. Louis is on the monkey) Smart kid huh? HAHA
LOVE this picture.
Soooo cute with his contacts in!!
My two oldest...basically my TWO teenagers!! UGGGHHGGHHGH!

Okay, this was a crazy camel. It posed for us the whole time, then when we passed by several min. later, it followed us until we passed him...this wigged Mrs. Betty out...we laughed about this for a long time too!!
Our beautiful princess.
Never seen a kangaroo before!! LOVED this. He even got up and hopped for us! Had to put this one here..
Now, she gave it up after about 4 and a half hours...Our sleeping princess.

Giant Penguins and Puffins!!

Dad to include these beautiful pictures of these penguins. They look like they are out of a movie or something. Just beautiful!

Looks like he is jumping up in the air.

A puffin, not a penguin!!
Anthony and the boys contemplating the puffins hahaha

Our little giraffe..she didn't like this on her head as you can tell.
They are looking at a giant Chinese salamander...Zack thought I should take a picture of them looking at something else that was Chinese!! So sweet!
This one is just for my MRS. SHEILA!!! Love you!! :)

More of the zoo!

We thought the petting zoo was cool. Olivia just walked up to the goats..she wasn't scared at all.

AHHH a hippo is eating our little girl!! No, just kidding of course, but isn't this a big statue of one???
This slide went under water, they didn't get wet, but you could see under water. Chase took her down this about 5 times!! Such a great big brother!
Chase thought it was cool to brush them too.
Okay, this goat was asleep on the rock...Never seen that before!!

A trip to the St.Louis Zoo

Our trip to the St.Louis Zoo..Olivia's first time at the zoo. Look at our kids...I just love them!
Okay young lady, you are toooo young to drive, but you sure do look happy thinking you are!!
Yes, that's a frog on her head. I thought this was so funny.
She and Chase are petting a guinea pig...should we get another one, she seems to love it......NOOOO!!!
It's my four otters!! Arent' they the cutest otters you've ever seen???/

A meal at Lambert's!! YUMMMY!

The Langley's wanted to do something nice for Anthony since he has worked so hard and will graduate in May with his MASTERS!! (MDIV) so they decided we needed to take a trip, so we did. We went to St. Louis, but on the way, there just happens to be a LAMBERTS!! The kids and The Langley's have NEVER been there, so needless to say, it was a WONDERFUL meal! I know we all thoroughly enjoyed it and I tried to bring Joy a roll back, but it wasn't any good after a few days!! HAHA.
Cameron..the engine!! HAHA
Peek-a-Boo!
Our wonderful family!
My cute husband. He doesn't know I took this picture! HAHA
Look at our kids, aren't they just wonderful??

Happy birthday Anthony!!

Anthony's parents came for a visit and since it was just a little after his birthday, they wanted him to have a cake. They got him 2 great new pairs of shoes along with some other odds and ends and it was all very much appreciated. Yes, Anthony is getting OLD!!! He is now 36!! AHH Just kidding baby, I love you!
His wonderful cake!
First birthday with FOUR kids!!

Mommy and her little girl!

Yes, she just woke-up from her nap so she is still sleepy!
Look how long she is!! The reason for these pictures is the bow in her hair on the side...First time!
My sweet girl loving on me!

A day outside with big brother Zack.

One day when it was really pretty outside, Zack said he would take Olivia out to play...well she LOVES being outside so she was ready. I love pictures like this and Zack is such a good brother...all of them are. Anthony said the other day to Olivia... "I don't think you know how good you have it with these boys, they are GREAT big brothers to you!" They simply adore her and do things for her that they normally wouldn't do I mean look...Zack is outside instead of playing computer orX-Box..that's a feat in itself!! HAHAHA
She loves to swing and don't they look cute?
He will do anything for her..even get in this little swing.
Going down a slide, can you tell she loves it?
He held on to her tight!
I like this one!
