Animals at the Zoo: Dedicated to My Husband

So, I can't very well tell you that I went to the zoo last weekend and share pictures all week without sharing the ANIMALS! I'm not sure if you heard much of the back story on this, but my husband was a bit of a camera hog for the weekend while we were away. If you saw on Wordless Wednesday that most of my photos were of Hannah and early in the morning there was a reason. He was sleeping in with Miss Lorelei!

Anyway, this post is dedicated to my husband and to how much I love him after ten years of togetherness, being married for just over five years and having two of the most precious little girls together! I love you very much and thank you for supporting me. Your photos are fantastic!

Please enjoy the zoo animals everyone. I did.

I'm sure I missed some as he took so many, but be sure to check out my photo section for more captures from our weekend!

Wordless Wednesday: A Family Weekend Away

These are some of my favorite phots from a weekend away with the family at the zoo and on the farm. Please enjoy! Pictures in no particular order within categories.

Farm

Zoo

Just a note, if you have noticed the lack of zoo photos today it's because my husband was a camera hog over the weekend especially at the zoo. I will hopefully get together a post full of photos he took and share those with you as well as his zoo photos are fantastic!

For other photos from the weekend check out these links here, here, here, here, and here. You can also check out my photo section here.

(Please forgive my lack of organization and link names as a part of mommyhood, my daughter just woke up from her nap. Please enjoy none the less!)

I Heart Faces: Photojournalism Photo Challenge

While at the zoo all of the ladies and young ladies were chasing around youngsters. I went off looking for the two lonely men of the group and they were quietly sitting with the youngest little lady of the group, my Hannah. I would like for you to full in the blanks of this photo. What are they thinking while the kids are running a muck through the kids area during a full day at the zoo?

Take a look at I Heart Faces for more photos.

Straight From My Three Year old Daughter

Speaking of her dog after snatching a chicken nugget from her "Mom. Bonesy doesn't know it isn't coplite (polite) to take food from peoples hands. I think he belongs in a zoo. Sorry mom. He belongs in a zoo."

"Dad. Why does that Barn not have cows in it?" Said my three year old girl.

"Because it holds tools." Said Dad.

"Why does it hold tools?"

"Because there are different types of barns. Some hold stuff and some hold animals."

"Dad. Are their cows in that barn?"

On a drive to her grandpa's. "When you see a broken house (old barn) say 'BROKEN HOUSE!' " Every few minutes we heard "BROKEN HOUSE!"

"Mom 'H' (one year old sister) is standing up in her high chair. Mom! Did you see her. Mom. 'H' is standing up in her high chair." One day I had to grab something from the kitchen and I asked my three year old to tell me if her sister stood up. Well, I asked for it and regretted the very second I did.

We have been hearing a lot of the "why" lately. One has been why she needs to go to bed and where the sun goes. After explaining it to her this is what she said. "The Earth goes in a circle. The sun stays." She balls her fists to show me the sun and the Earth. "Mom. Can we go up and see the Earth spin?"

"Mom. I don't want H to win. I don't want H to win the race and go to sleep before me." Honestly expressing how upset she was by losing the race against her one year old sister until it dawned on her that it's better to stay up a few minutes later.

"Mom I had a very great time playing with H in the bath. I was so ca-sited (excited)." After her first bath with her sister since I tried it when H was a couple months old.

"Good night mom. I had a very fun day with you!"
