Random April and May

I have not been good at taking pictures. And, I need to figure out how to get a few more off my phone and onto the blog. But for now, here's a few random events from April and May:

The school FFA program hosted a petting zoo, and we were invited to go over and see the animals. There were rabbits, goats, pigs, a horse, donkey, cows, dogs, chickens, and ducks.  Brek decided he wasn't afraid of the cows this time.

We did a playdate with Brek's bestie Matthew, and Matthew's mommy, my good friend Martha. Usually when Brek gets to play with Matthew, the moms don't get the chance to "play" too, but this time, we spent the whole day together, chatting, playing, eating, and even including a trip to the zoo. They got to feed the fish/ducks, play on the playground (which is Brek's favorite part of the zoo), and hear the lions roar. It was a fun sun-shiny day. We're already looking forward to our next playdate!

Cousin Playdate

So, like a month ago my cousin Brittany and I did a playdate. We had 4 kids between the 2 of us; we both were watching another kid in addition to our own. It was one of the first and only times I ever ventured out with both boys, and lucky for me, I had my mother-in-law's car so that made the juggling of people and vehicles easier on my end.

It was really nice to spend some time with Brittany. We grew up living pretty close to each other so she's one of the cousins I am closest too. We're also closest in age in the family.

Her little girl D'Anna is about 7 months, and BJ here was about 3 months. D'Anna is pretty tiny, but such a cutie!
