Hippos!

We played a little bit of hookie yesterday and went to the zoo. GMan and I got to pose next to the hippos and the elephants. Unfortunately the baby black rhino wasn't out or we may have stayed longer.

Watch out world!

Month is Gone

We had a long HOT July here.  We were under heat advisory/watch/etc  for most of the month.  We also had several visits from people and went to OK for the 4th of July.  We ended the month sending A back to OK for Grandma Camp! Everyone has loved the break the past couple of days from each other and A is loving spending time with her cousin and grandma!

 Before Chris took the girls for camp I got a picture of all the kids on our stairs.  I think this turned out well.

 With it being just boys and mommy for the afternoon we decided to go to the splash pad.  We hadn't been to this one and probably won't go back.  The park part was good but the splash pad not so good.


Mommy and twins!


Baby feet! Sleeping babies even better.

 Big kids with Uncle J who came up to visit the last full week of the month.  Both big kids adore their uncle and were excited to have him sit between them in the back of the van.

We started A in taekwondo this month.  It is a black belt program and we are going to be able to get G through as well once he's big enough.  G called them "Pajamas" which is really funny because we aren't allowed to wear pajamas outside as a family rule.  :)


 Kids in a line at Grandma's house.  The twins are getting big and are starting to roll every which way.  They are also starting to eat non-milk food!  M has taken to that like a "duck on water" as Chris says with Big E not enjoying it as much.  He'll eat what he wants -- which isn't very much normally.  Big E also prefers non-pureed foods so that may be a problem until he gets his teeth.

Mom and I are going to do the Route 66 Half Marathon in November.  We did a training run in the hot hot sun and it was okay.  It was a "kick" off run at the Fleet Feet in Tulsa.  Not bad time for the heat and out of shape people who did it. ;)
