"Happy Day Mom"

So yesterday was another one of my birthdays. I know that I have mentioned that it feels like time flies by, but it seems like just a few months ago that I had my last birthday celebration. Of course, last year the kids weren't quite able to tell me "Happy day mom" like Kayla-- matt was close too this year, saying "mom day happy". Anyway, another year older...

Today we hit the zoo, to enjoy the close to 70 degree weather we're having. What a wonderful day. Anna and Keely joined us, and Jacob's with us today (the kids were thrilled to have him and they kept saying "cupcup-- look lions-- ROAR" etc) so anyway, I took the wagon- with the trailer. Now, matt and kayla like to walk sometimes, but to go to the zoo with just the double stroller is near impossible (because inevitable, I end up carrying someone 50% of the time-- so the wagon is our only choice. My shoulders are killing me from pulling close to 100 pounds for 2 1/2 hours-- but other than that we had a wonderful time, and the kids were angels... every one of them.

Here's a fun pic of the kids... notice Kayla being loving to Jacob-- she's such a girl ;)
