Peach Picking

We went to Red River Peach Orchard in Gainesville with my sister-in-law and her kids for some peach picking! The kids had a fun time and we came home with a lot of peaches, a few were ready to eat, but most of them needed a little ripening. It's hard to tell my four and two year old "just pick the pink ones!" "make sure it's a little soft!" while they are running from tree to tree picking whatever they see. I guess you just go for the experience. :) From those peaches the we ate several whole, I made some baby food for Joelle, and enjoyed a peach cobbler! Here is our day in pictures:

Some Zoo Fun

These first few pictures are from our trip to the zoo Daniel's day off the day after tax day!! We had fun!SuperDad!

See the turtle? He kept creeping up on the alligator and eventually bit its toe! It was so funny to watch! The alligator started thrashing around, hit the glass, then swam away. What a sight!

Sleepy head! I love my sweet babies!

We saw this rainbow as we walked into the Texas Wild area. It hadn't even been raining! The colors were so vibrant.

Sage did not like the fake animals!

This and the pictures following are from our next trip to the zoo once again with Daniel who took a day off. The girls got to feed the parrots!

Standing in line for the carousel.

Wave to mom!


Waiting for her sisters to get done on the carousel :) Happy girl!

Pulling Up!


I'm way behind on blogging, but here is a picture of Joelle pulling up for the first time in her crib back on June 6. We had just put her to bed and were trying to get the other two girls in bed when I heard Joelle scuffling around. She started fussing so after we put S and S down I went in to check on Joelle in her dark room just feeling around for her body in the bed. The noise was coming from a bit higher than usual so imagine my surprise when I felt her little hands on the crib rail. Now she is pulling up and getting down and crawling around everywhere!! Baby on the move, watch out!
