naomi turns 7

For Naomi's birthday we took a trip down to the Miami Zoo.
Everyone was super stoked about their first
visit to the zoo!

Before we headed out we had cereal, Naomi's choice.
She had picked out Cinnabon cereal. 
 

The Galapagos tortoises were pretty awesome!

We enjoyed seeing the sweet Asian elephant.
He was so cute.

This Zebra was so handsome.
He never moved from his spot the whole time
we stood at his area.
We got a kick out of it.
He was pretty vain since he was so
nicely posed for some photos.


Giraffes are my personal favorite.
There was even a little baby giraffe!


The African elephants were handsome as well!


This is so Nay-Nay!


My sweet kiddos!


Toby is kind of a ham in front of the camera.

This darling little koala bear was just taking a 
nap in his cage.
Marcail and I were enamored.

Later that evening we had birthday cake and sang happy birthday
to our birthday girl!


Happy Birthday, Naomi!

twins birthday

The twins turned 8 on January 10th.
I remember being 8.  I was a giggly, squirrelly, carefree little girl.
8 is great!

They had donuts for their birthday breakfast!  A winner!
On their birthday, our homeschool group had a fieldtrip
planned to go to the Miami Seaquarium.
What a fun and convenient day to have a fieldtrip!!
It was a beautiful day and the kids loved it!

I loved the flamingos.
We got to see dolphins, killer whales, manatees, 
sting-rays and sea lions.
I didn't happen to take many pictures of what we say because
I found myself too busy keeping track of children.

How perfect, a birthday field trip spent with all
 your favorite friends!
I'm so thankful that Esther, the little lady who is holding Toby
and her sister, Abby, the little lady with the braids,
are such tremendous helpers with the Tobs.

When we gathered for lunch 
we also took time to sing Happy Birthday
to Henry and Marcail.
Also, our little friend, Timmy, has a 
birthday on the same day!
However, he turned 7 that day.
His mama and me brought cupcakes to share.


Happy Birthday, Henry and Marcail!!
