A birthday party and a trip to the Zoo

Before I start this post, I want to solicit your prayers... little Bryson has the most awful case of croup I have ever seen. He is a very sick little baby. It amazes me how fast that illness comes on, but it hit him so hard.... we have been to the dr and he is on a steriod, so hopefully the worst is over and he will only get better... please offer up a prayer for him today... it just hurts me to hear him "bark" and watch him struggle to breathe!
Well, I am going to attempt to play catch up for the last 2 weekends before another one comes and goes... sheesh we cram so much in over the summer! I wont type much since most of you jusr scroll thru the pics anyways, but here are a few events in the best household over the last few weeks....
Cason's 4th Birthday Bash!!!
here is the birthday boy with 2 of his buddies, Caden and Ethan
Cason, Mommy, and Lightning (this was my 3rd time to make lightning this year... he gets easier every time!)

Blowing out the canldes as bryson looks and learns


this is the face he makes at his new fish... he is such a hoot! he loves his new fish!

Abilene Zoo!!!
I really think this might be my favorite zoo... especially for my kids at this age. I hate big crowded zoos... we lost Coby at the FW zoo one time and it was the most horrifying experience! I dont like zoos that are so big that my kids cant walk the entire time... maybe bc there are 4 of them and they are really heavy and it is physically impossible for us to carry them around. Anyways, Abilene Zoo is really small as far as walking goes, but it has all the animals that we want to see and it was only $14 for my entire family!!! That is the cost of one adult admission to the FW zoo I think.... anyways.... on to the pics... it was hot, but it was fun!!:

Bryson and the monkey... he kept pacing back and forth on this ledge right by the window where bry was sitting... he was squealing and laughing at him until he stopped to look at him... then he got scared... hilarious, but I missed that kodak moment!


Bry and the aquarium... he was so intrigued!

The giraffes were a crowd favorite... this is probably my favorite part of this zoo... the kids can literally reach out and tough these giraffes... they fed them thru the fence.

Cason was the only one brave enough to let the giraffe eat out of his hand. Everyone else threw the food as soon as he got close (mommy included) Check out his black tongue!


I just thought this one was sweet of all of them peeking over to see the turtles...

Anyone see 4 sweet boys?
ACU revisited:
I posted before with some pics from our trip to acu... one afternoon, I went with the girls to do some shopping and when I got back to our apartment, I found this:


And this....

And THIS!!!

ACU or bust

I just down loaded over 400 pictures, so I am going to have to divide this into a few different posts. Here is the first group of pics from our trip to ACU for bible teachers workshop. The boys loved being on campus... and we took them to this new Jacob's Ladder statue. I got several sweet pics of them at the statue. Zoo pictures and pics from Cason's bday are coming soon....
The Fam
Do you wonder what Bryson is thinking??












The boys and the infamous Ms Jackie

There is a certain spot where you can stand and see the cross made out of the "negative space" in the statue... so cool!











I found this new setting on my camera called "shadow" How cool are these??
