Out with Mama!

One of Layla and I's favorite things to do when we are out and about is enjoy a little Starbuck's treat! Love this time of year!

My personal favorite is an Egg nog latte and I ordered this guy as a fun new treat. However, I felt sorry for him and couldn't eat him...

But Layla sure didn't mind him as a snack.

Happy Friday!

"Knight" at the museum!

Tonight Carter's school had their annual "Knight" at the museum. Basically each grade chooses a theme and the parents get to come and see all their hard work.

Carter's class's theme was the post office.

Of course, he chooses to mail a letter to Mimi.

Working hard on mailing a post card to a classmate.

One of the classes had a paint theme.

Another class's theme was a pet shop. After our latest dog chaos, Carter chose to be a cat.

Chomp!!!

A blog entry does not always mean a good blog entry. We had a uninvited visitor dig it's way into our backyard on Monday. Layla unfortunately greeted this unwanted visitor and paid a scary price.

We are very lucky this was all that happened considering what you hear on the news happening to toddlers with big dogs. Layla having a big dog made her not scared of this trespasser. A round of antibiotics later, we are feeling much better and back to being an animal lover.  

Playground paparazzi!

Another fun outing while in the mountains visiting with family!

Some of us were a little nervous at trying the monkey bars...

While others..just thought they needed to master the skill haha.

Pettin' Zoo

Another Virginia outing was to the Petting zoo! Complete with a zebra and camel!

Talk about a crew who loves a petting zoo!

 

You still can always find me next to the donkey

A little exploring...

While in VA, we walked down to some lakes/ponds that were not far from where we were staying and did a little exploring. 

Family photo by the lake. Certainly not our best or prettiest attire haha.

Mountain Trip!

We spent this last weekend in the mountains of Virginia with Al's family! Lots of family fun!

The gorgeous view!

These two hiked all the way up the mountain.

Building a castle from all the rocks!
