Potawatomi Zoo

Last Friday Corey took the day off and we ventured down the South Bend for the day. It was a beautiful day for the zoo.  There is a big playground right at the zoo entrance so we played for a while and then ate our picnic lunch then went to the zoo.  It is a small zoo and didn't have a lot of big animals (no elephants or giraffe) but it was good enough for Micah.  Honestly...Micah wasn't all that impressed by the animals.  However (as you might be able to guess) he was thrilled by the school buses in parking or the workers that drove by in the golf carts.  There was some big animal that Corey was pointing out to Micah and he looked right past and it was so excited to see a lawn mower.  Haha!  Next time we said we'll just take him to a parking lot and let him look around!!!!  Micah did ride the train around the zoo so that was probably the highlight!  After the zoo it was nap time so we attempted to do naps in the car. Corey was sweet and drove me to the mall and sat in the car while the kids slept so I could do a little shopping. I only had about 45 minutes so I couldn't do too much damage but it was good. We tried to take both kids in the mall once they woke up but after about 15 minutes decided it wasn't worth it. (Now you must understand where we live there is no mall so these days going to an actual mall is a big deal!!!) We headed to Famous Dave's for dinner and then got ice cream and drove home. It was a good day together though Corey and I were both pretty exhausted by the time we got home.

Happy Mother's Day 2012

After Adelyn's dedication on Mother's Day we had my mom, Jeff, Jori, Lily, Kolby, Britton, and Ruby (Jeff's mom) over to celebrate both Mother's Day and Kolby's (25th) and Jori's (17th) birthday.  Lily said it best when she commented during the day "I love when we all get together"!

Adelyn's Dedication

On Mother's Day this year we had  Adelyn dedicated at church.  It was special as we had lots of family there!!!  Through dedication we are publicly showing that we desire and will strive to raise Adelyn to know Jesus as her personal savior and live her life for Him. She is the only one who can make that decision but as parents there is nothing more we want for our children than that!!!!  What a huge responsibility yet awesome privilege raising children is!!!








On

Blossomtime Parade

This was Micah's first parade and let me tell you...he LOVED it!!!!  This boy is obsessed with basically anything that has a motor!  He was thrilled with the fire trucks, motorcycles, the tractors that pulled the floats (he could have card less about the actual floats), and the cars the people rode it.  He actually did like the bands and we found a friend of his from church and they danced together when the bands went by. It was very cute. I can tell this will be an annual event.

Handsome just like daddy


















Mowing the lawn just like daddy....notice that Micah even needed  gloves on as Corey wears gloves when he mows!  (however Corey typically does wear pants when he mows!  haha)

Quote of the day

Me:  Micah do you learn about Jesus at Bible Study?
Micah: No
Me: Oh really? What do you learn about?
Micah: Crackers!
