Visit to the Zoo & Happy Birthday BoBo!

Today, Matt and I volunteered to keep Kate's kids while she and Steven went to the hospital to visit Baby Sam. Sam is doing much better and as soon as he can come off of the bili light, will be headed home. Please continue to pray for him.

Kate dropped Sara Kate and Jason off at the house around 11:00. Matt had the big idea for us all to head to the zoo. As you guys know, I am not much for hanging out so it sounded like a plan to me. We had originally planned on having mother a birthday party today but the plans changed. Luckily, Lauren was able to come over anyway and play with all of the children. We got all of the car seats loaded up and headed to the zoo. On the way, we gave Aunt Hollie and Cousin Alex a call and they met us there! It was a big children family reunion at the zoo.

Jason and Alex loved playing with each other. It is amazing how Jason wants to do everything that Alex does. Sara Kate was so content and only let out a big "MEOW" when we saw the tigers. LeLe, in her hurricane fashion, made a big hit with all of the animals. She decided to say "Hey" to almost everyone of them. She also loved the ostrich and let out a big belly laugh at him. I guess an ostrich is pretty funny looking. She also loved stealing the sippy cups from Jason and Sara Kate. It is amazing that the child will not drink anything out of her cup but will steal anyone elses and top it off.

Hollie and Lauren were God Sends as they helped us keep up with all of the children. Luckily, we had a 1 to 1 ratio and needed it! The kids were absolutely adorable and really made our day special.

To my mother - Mom, thank you so very much for being so good to us. I hate that we missed your birthday and hope that you had a wonderful HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! We love you!

Thank you so much Aunt Katie, Uncle Matt and LeLe for taking Jason and Sara Kate to the zoo! I am so glad that Hollie and Alex came too... I wish we could have been there... It looks like such a ball!
