Austin and Kayla

Fossil Rim- Glen Rose, Tx

Travis took off work and took us to Fossil Rim in Glen Rose, Tx. We love Glen Rose! It was the kids first time to go and mine as well to Fossil Rim. We all absolutely loved it and had such a great time. Austin & Kayla really enjoyed throwing the animal feed out the window for the animals. Some animals got really close to the car. One zebra wouldn't even move when he saw our car coming, so we went right by him. We had a couple of elk put their heads in the window. It was funny! The Walters family had a great time

Pre-K Begins....

Our big boy Austin started pre-k today. He goes to school three days a week. I am thankful that he has the same teacher he had when he started last spring. Ms. Jane is such a wonderful person and he is blessed to have her again this year. Austin was excited to start school back up (doubt it will be like that as he gets older). He totally picked out his outfit, in case you are thinking it doesn't match. I didn't cry, pretty sure I will though next year. Kayla on the other hand was angry that she had to leave her brother. Austin had a great first day of pre-k!

This is how Austin takes pictures now. Where are his eyes? ha ha

Oh I was excited about school, but do I really want to go? A look of shock (austins face) and sweet little Kayla being goofy. love it!

The kiddos wanted me to take another picture.

This is more like it!

Austin and Kayla got invited to Nolan's 4th birthday party. It was so much fun. They ran around the playground and were super tired when we left. They brought home tons of candy!!! Here are some pics:

Kayla is 2!

Our little princess turned 2 on August 14th and had her party on the 15th. I can't believe she is already 2! We went with a minnie mouse theme this year. Kayla had a ton of fun with her brother and cousin KK. Most of all she enjoyed the balloons. Thanks to everyone who came!

Dallas Zoo

Talk about Texas Summer heat! We went to the zoo for the Target Zoofari days and it was HOT! I was extremely exhausted after our trip. Austin and Kayla had so much fun looking at all the animals. We saw two events up close: feeding the King Vultures and a trainer working with a chimpanzee. The kids loved the elephants and gorillas. They had a blast in the water so they were able too cool down.

"Patrick" the gorilla.

This is a female gorilla and she was really cool. Here she is looking at Austin.

This is a close up of the female gorilla. I bent down and we looked at each other eye to eye and I took this picture. She actually seemed really lonely and sad. It kind of depressed me to see the animal this way. Just look at her face...

We took the kids to the circus for the first time. They loved it! Austin was laughing a bunch. It was cute to hear him. Kayla loved seeing all the horses and animals. We had great seats for the tickets being FREE. The kids got free tickets through summer reading at the library and I got two others through facebook.

I loved the elephants! They were too cute.

Look @ the excitement in their faces. Waiting for the show to start back up. Being goofy at intermission.
