Our march madness

Gabe got a basketball hoop for Christmas and now knows how to make baskets. The kids decided to shoot some hoops before bed the other night.

Dallas Zoo and Peek-a-Boo

Last week was spring break and we made a trip to the Dallas Zoo. Normally I avoid super crowded places, but my friend was going and we needed plans. I am so glad that we did! The Dallas Zoo has a new exhibit about animals from Africa. It did not disappoint... YOU CAN FEED GIRAFFES!!!! Amazing.

 Emory just gave the giraffe her lettuce. Yummy.

 We were so close.

 My friend's daughter, Ava, was such a good buddy for Emory. Emory did everything Eva did, and when Emory would run in a different direction we would send Ava to bring her back. When it was lunch time, both girls ran into the restaurant and grabbed blue cotton candy and pink juice bottles.

 So I did not do the best job taking pictures at the zoo. Espcially because there are none of Gabe. But this will make up for all that. Gabe found a new hidhing spot. He loves to play peek-a-boo from around the side of the dryer. Now Emory joins in and they both hide back there.

 I see you.

The Many Faces Of The Dess Children...

My kids are just silly. So many pictures, so many outcomes. I will spare you all the pictures of my children with eyes half closed, drool on their chin, mouth open, etc, but trust me there are plenty.

My sweet boy. His two loves, other than his mama, tiger and paci.

This is the face I see the most lately. We are choosing to blame it on the 3 teeth that are currently working their way into Gabe's cute little smile.

Emory's forced smile. Too many pictures mom.

Silly.

Lovely.

There's that happy boy.

Crazy old man hair.

Toothy grin.

A Glimpse At Our House...

We have been in the house for about 3 months now. We have replaced somethings and are in the process of many. There is not a single thing on the walls, which drives me crazy, but then I am reminded at least we are in our house. 

The family room. Our kitchen is to the left, but I did not get pictures of it today.

 Don't mind the boxes, that is just how we live right now.

 Gabe's room.

 Emory's big girl room.

 The master bedroom.

Arboretum March Madness...

My favorite flower is the tulip, so of course I love Dallas Blooms at the Dallas Arboretum!! We met some friends today and I had no idea that the tulips would already be blooming. Needless to say it made for a very happy mommy. I think Emory is really starting to like tulips too, although she did pick one and I made her apologize to the flower.... it seemed appropriate.

 So happy to be outside and climbing!

 Gabe got out of the stroller and explored. He loved the water feature and would have climbed in if I didn't stop him. Flowers, eh he seemed unimpressed.

 My attempt at a sibling picture.....

 The red and yellow tulips are my absolute favorite! Happy spring!!!
