Saturday we met up with Marty's brother's family for a trip to the Birmingham Zoo. We have never seen a zoo so packed! I guess since it was the first pretty weekend we have had in a while and all the schools are out, everyone decided to go! It didn't stop us from having a good time though! We did the whole zoo and had lots of fun. We were exhausted by the time it was over! Whew!

Lily Grace is crazy about animals. Her favorite movie at the time is Lion King, so she loved seeing all the animals from the Lion King!
We were so sad we did not get the feed the giraffes. They were not doing it at the time we went through. We still loved seeing them. They were about the only "bigger" animals really moving around.

Checking out the hippo on Daddy's shoulders. He looked like a big rock in the water. He wouldn't come out! Marty thought he was dead!!

The monkeys did put on a great show for us though! Lily Grace sat here for a very long time. I didn't think we were ever going to get to move.

The monkeys liked Braiden! They came to sit right beside him.

Braiden on the train ride. The train ride was very cool and relaxing.

Lily Grace was a little scared the alligator! I was too, he looks scary!

The kangaroos. This is how most of all the animals were in the zoo. At least we could see these. A lot of the other ones were hiding in the "caves" or behind trees, I guess where it was cool. They were all being lazy animals that day!

This was the BEST part!! You could buy a little cup of some type of liquid (maybe sugar water) and walk into this big bird cage. The birds would land on you and drink the water. It was awesome!! One actually landed on my head! We all were laughing so hard in here.

Lily Grace loved it. She wanted to hold them so bad!

Lily Grace loved her first carousel ride. She picked the tiger to ride. If you look at her face, you can see how excited she was about it.

They have a petting zoo at the zoo now. We went in to play with the goats and sheep.

This picture is for Granddaddy!! Lily Grace cried to hold the snake but they would only let her pet him.

As we were about to leave, Braiden and Lily Grace found the mister. They thought this was fun!

I am so glad we did this and we look forward to another trip to the zoo in the future with y'all!
We had lots of fun and love you guys!

Tuesday we went in for our ultrasound to make sure everything was checking out right and to find out what we are having. We were so excited to find out it was a boy! His name is

Monday night we went to Cullman to watch Brennon play in a baseball game. They WON! Brennon did great. He usually pitches but he didn't pitch this particular evening and played 3rd base. He did awesome though! We were very proud of him. After the game we went out for yummy Mexican. It was a little wild in the restaurant but it was a wonderful visit. Thank y'all for inviting us!

Lily Grace and Madi played on the playground most of the time. Madi is the best little babysitter!

There is one good thing that comes from watching Dora and Diego! Lily Grace can speak a little Spanish now. She probably has been doing it for a while and we just didn't realise it until this weekend. She laid my phone down on the ground and said "Down and then the Spanish word for it". (I am not going to even try and spell the Spanish words, HA!) So we got really excited and started asking her other questions. She knew up, green, and she could count from one to ten in Spanish! Now we will know to start listening for her Spanish words to see if she knows more. We were very excited about it though. Oh, and when she says hello now to people, she usually says "Hola!" :)

Saturday was a busy day! We were supposed to have pictures that morning but because of the rain, that was canceled. Then we headed to Berry to help Mother get ready for a party at her house. We took a break from that and went to Tre's Birthday party for a little bit. Then back to Mother's to help some more. She kicked us out :) and we went to the church for a fish fry. We came back to the house for the last of the party though. It was so nice out after the rain from the day, we played outside for a while. Saturdays for our family seem to always be busy, busy and it doesn't look like it will calm down for quite a while. But they are always fun!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Tre!

Lily Grace liked playing with Tre's puzzle...

.....and with Tre!

Back at Grandmommy's house, she found her a frog! She played with that thing for the longest!
