More zoo fun

ARABELLE'S 1ST ZOO TRIP

Corbin & Daddy watching some baby ducks

She wasn't even a little scared of the tiger


looking at the real penguins

we don't have a double stroller so we have to improvise

Heading into the hippo area (one of Corbin's favorites)

Mommy's favorite -the elephants - weren't out and she was disappointed that she didn't get to show them to Arabelle

Gotta Have Cold Stone

To follow in tradition Arabelle had to go to Cold Stone soon after birth with Jay and Kristin (and now Joey). We have been trying to get there for the past 2 1/2 weeks and finally after she was 3 weeks old we made it there! Corbin really enjoys going now since he actually gets to eat ice cream!

Checking out the vast selection of flavors...

and the mix-ins (he was showing me the M&M's)

He got to sample Cotton Candy (it was the only blue one, so what do you think he would pick?!)

Eating Mommy's Cheese Cake Fantasy (he also tried Daddy's Cake Batter ice cream with Cookie Dough, but his all time favorite was Kristin's Chocolate with Chocolate chips - he ate almost as much as she did! Thanks for sharing, Kristin!)

Joey enjoying his drink and puffs (he's not quite old enough for ice cream...at least that's what his mommy said, his daddy had other ideas!)

And the famous picture - first "bite" of ice cream

A Fun Day

Arabelle's first time at Daddy's work

in her new outfit from the girls at Mommy's Bible study

Grandma got Corbin a remote control car from a garage sale

She brought it with her and Corbin when they met us at McDonald's and he was driving it around the parking lot





watching the little girl come down the slide at McDonalds


Arabelle had lots of fun too!

Corbin ran off to play so now it's just Grandma and Arabelle

First Weddings for Arabelle...

Two of Daddy's cousins got married this past Saturday so Arabelle got a good taste of what we do on a lot of weekends during the Spring-Fall. Corbin doesn't stay quite long enough so he got to hang out at Grammie & Grandpa's for the day.

THE 1ST WEDDING/RECEPTION

Pappa adoring her before the wedding started


It's a little grainy. The lighting was bad for my camera, but I figured I'd at least post one of the actual wedding.


The bride's sister and niece (isn't she cute!)

Brian & Brooke



Being a good girl - just chillin' during the reception

Brooke & Brian's first dance as a married couple
