Quality time with Family and Friends!

Hi Folks!

We hope all the mothers out there had a SPECTACULAR mother's day. I sure did! Now that we have given out mother's day gifts to the grandmothers, we can share the pictures of what we did when Uncle Jeff, Auntie Rachel, Avie and Gamma came to town! These are only a few of the 750 pictures that Uncle Jeff took with his fancy camera. Enjoy!!

Mommy and Zachary enjoying our backyard slide.

Avie doing an awesome job helping
Gamma make deviled eggs.

Zachary was very curious about
EVERYTHING Avie did!

Enjoying the carousel at the Kemah Boardwalk

One of 10 pictures Uncle Jeff took trying to
get the three of them to look up and
smile at the same time...it never happened!

Zachary's favorite way to slide!

Eating at our tea party!

Avie at one of the three petting zoos we
visited during their week-long stay.

Zachary didn't take many naps
while our family was here...
if he did get one, this is how he took them.

Uncle Jeff being flirted with by an ostrich
at the Bayou Wildlife Park

Feeding camels with Auntie Rachel...
note Zachary's new discovery, his tongue!

Feeding some sort of animal with Auntie Rachel.

Zachary is such a deer!

On a fort at Old McDonald's Farm.

See? This really is Zachary's preferred method of sliding.

While Brinson has her on way of sliding!

And Avie chooses to slide down
monstrous sand piles!

Pony rides!

Zachary enjoyed his too!

with her Daddy for her pony ride.

A good sized horse for Zachary!

We had so much fun with Uncle Jeff, Auntie Rachel, Avie, Gamma and are glad that they got to meet our dear friends (family) the Zaldivars! We are ready for next year's spring break so we can do it all over again!

Love to all!

Zachary in the Big Easy

A couple of weekend ago we went to go visit some of Mommy's family in New Orleans, Louisiana. We stayed with Cousins Susan and Henry and visited with Cousin Robert and some friends of Susan and Henry. We had a great time. We took Zachary to the New Orleans Zoo which is awesome!! Henry had a great time...Zachary did too!

Family portrait time - Audubon Zoo.

Mommy pointing out the elephants...

...like Zachary could miss them!

Zachary was really tired from running around
so he didn't enjoy the carousel as much as usual.

But he enjoyed his nap more than usual!

All refreshed - we went to the hands-on
part of the zoo. Here's Zachary petting a guinea pig.

He LOVED the goats!

The animals were just his size!

He helped out around the zoo...

The next day is when we had awesome po'boys with the cousins and their friends.

Zachary suggled right up to
Robert and went to sleep.

It really looks like Zachary slept through the trip but he did not.
We just never get to see him still so we took lots of pictures of it!

Loving lunch time with Susan and Henry.

Thanks to Susan and Henry for letting us stay with you and for the night of babysitting! We love you and love to all!

What do horsies eat?

Yep...pizza crust! This is Duchess, Stephen's step-brother Rusty's family pet. This is Rusty's wife Lori enjoying helping Zachary feed Duchess. Zachary thought feeding Duchess was the funniest thing ever!

Love to all!
