How often is it that you are able to get all 5 kids in your car to fall asleep at the same time? After a long day at the waterfront park they were all tuckered out. In order from left to right starting in the rear you have Andrew, Kacie, Jewelian, Emmersyn, and Aiden. This is a moment that I will always remember. 

Kacie took a ride in Mitches Big O Truck at Chucky Cheese. 

On Tuesday we all decided to go on an outing in the zoo.... Betsy and I took all SEVEN kids with us, and boy was that an experiance. We had 2 double strollers with us and by the end of the trip no one wanted to be walking. Here are a couple of photo's of our day. 

This is our very little friend Emmersyn. She was "strolling" around in the zoo with us. 

Kacie likes the starfish 

Aiden was the first one to try to feed the birds, he thought it was neat to see then up close. 

Jewelian wasn't too sure about doing the bird thing. She liked to look but that was it! 

Mitch got to hold a bird all by himself! 

It didn't take long and she ended up falling asleep. 

Weeeee..... 

Ethan and Baily came over to play yesturday. The kids thought he made a great play structure.... 

"How did I get my self into this?" 

After a long day of playing, the girls tried to convince me that they didn't need a bath cause they were not dirty. HHhmmmmm I think not! 

The girls were sent upstairs to put pj's on. When they returned wearing feather boa's I couldn't help but grab the camera. 

And Kacie as usual, ready to pose for any picture. 

She really is having fun. 

All feathered up and ready for bed. 

Kacie learned to tie her own shoes a few days ago. She is so proud of herself. A close up will follow. 

The close up. 

It took a long time to blow up the Dora balloon for Jewel's, but I finally got it done! 

Jewelian saw this picture and said "Is that me holding a cherry? You can't eat them cause there hard"

Little-miss-innocent 

Smiles-a-lot 

We were caught putting Mitch up in the tree.
