We got a membership to the Dallas Zoo and took the boys there one day this fall.
I think this might have been Elijah's first horsey ride. :)
My first camel ride- with all 3 of the boys!
Petting the camel!
Jaron with a rhino
This is Jaron right next to the baboons- those are currently his favorite animal. You can see a baboon in the picture below and then below that a close-up of him.
Next to a lion perched in the sun.
Jordan feeding a giraffe!
The 3 boys by a leopard- Jaron's 2nd favorite animal- he LOVES animals.
Elijah's favorite animal is an elephant- he has several stuffed animal elephants at home which he calls all of them "Elie."
Here is a picture of Jaron and I outside the circus tent at Cirque du Soleil. I took him to the "circus" on a Mommy-Jaron date! He absolutely loved it. He kept asking, "what's next, Mommy!?!"
We got Cirque hats to bring back for he and Elijah.
The next week I took Elijah on a Mommy-Elijah date to the Arboretum! He loved the pumpkin houses and he got his face painted with Spiderman!
One afternoon the boys wanted to do a craft and so we made a bunch of pumpkins with silly faces to "get ready for Halloween."
A regular morning at home eating oatmeal...
Here are a few pictures of Jaron with his soccer team, the "Fireballs." He is easy to identify because he usually wears a white headband.
At 5, Jaron has started to make his bed (almost) every day. Here he is with his bed made and all his little stuffed animals organized. :)
Warriors...
In Jaron's kindergarten class, the kids did a Solar System Play- each kid got to be a planet. Jaron was the EARTH!!! They each created a costume and said 3 facts about their planet. We were SO proud of Jaron. His 3 facts were: 1. "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." 2. The earth is the 3rd planet from the sun, and 3. The earth has plants, animals and people. He said all 3 facts so well and so confidently! His earth costume was really cool, and we even painted his hair green to look like grass. Then we put some bugs and snake toys in his hair to show that the earth has animals. It was definitely a highlight of this fall.
Here is a cute picture of Jordan from this year! He is so handsome!
Here are a couple of pictures of the boys with their friends at a birthday party.
Here's Elijah with his Kickstart Soccer class. He LOVES it. He smiles and runs around the whole time.
Elijah with some rescue heroes.
Elijah getting his hair cut. Bye bye bowl cut! He's getting to be such a big boy!
