Dallas Aquarium with Mima

When I Grow Up

"I don't want to be a hot dog anymore because somebody will eat me. I want to be a glitter craft."

Dallas Zoo

Last week Noelle spent a few days with Mima & Gramps. One day Noelle, Mima, and her friend Beverly went to the Dallas Zoo. It's a tiny step up from our zoo. Noelle had an awesome time. I'm still in utter disbelief that she rode a camel by herself. This is the same child who screams like a banshee when she sees fuzz on the ground because she thinks it might be a bug.




This elephant had an infection in his tail, so it had to be cut off. Noelle liked telling us about that.

New Jared Pics

At lunch today Noelle looked at Jared and said, "He's so little. He can't do anything...except grow." Noelle is right. Jared is growing. Here are some recent pictures:

Great Moms Walk

The GMW benefiting MOPS was last Saturday. Noelle had a great time playing games at the carnival, but her favorite part was eating her first snow cone.

Broken Bow

Last week I had the privilege to join 13 other men from my church on a four-day camping trip to Broken Bow, Oklahoma. There was fly fishing, hiking, canoeing, lots of good eating, and rejuvenating time with the Lord. I am very blessed to have an incredible wife who loves me and encouraged me to go on this trip.

Our Happy Spit-Up Baby

I Take It Back

Chris: "Ok, Jared. It's time to get into your car seat. Are you going to fuss?"

Noelle (happy): "Look! He didn't fuss!"

*** 5 seconds later Jared starts to cry ***

Noelle (dejected): "Oh, he did fuss. I shouldn't have complimented him."

Hunting the Eggs

Easter Pics

Here are the kiddos dressed up for Easter. We'll post pictures of Noelle hunting for eggs soon.

Here are a few outtakes:

We just knew that Jared would spit up as soon as we put him in his Easter outfit, but he actually managed to keep it clean until we got home from church.
