Day tripping fun

happiness for all when we loaded up all 3 babies

Last week my sister told me that my nephew's school was going on a field trip to the Waco zoo.  Well of course my little zoo lover and I thought it would be fun to meet up.  My sister was a parent so she couldn't bring the two littles, but I told her that Miss H and I would meet up and take the littles.  I mean we can do the zoo at our pace and they could do it at theirs.

All plans were set and made for our DAY TRIP to good old Waco!!!  Plus I have heard great things about their zoo so we were really excited.  Miss H was super excited because of 2 things ZOO and COUSINS!! She loves them both so much.


Reality of the DAY TRIP today was, 40 degrees with blowing wind is not ideal for 2 2 year olds and an almost 3 month old.  We ditched Abby at the zoo with B's field trip and took off for our own fun.  We hit up the children's area at the museum.  The 'babies" (Miss H and G) had the best time!  I was shocked at how much fun they had together there.  We literally were there from 10:30am-2:15pm.  Best part of it was not once did any one fuss they had such fun.  They got to play music, race boats and ducks, run free, shop, drive cars, and so much more.  Sweet baby M just hung out and enjoyed the view too.  Of course all the people around me thought it was odd that I had twins, a 3 month old, and ready to pop again!  Ha ha got to love how people just stare and make random comments.  One even said wow 3 under 3 with another on the way that is brave!!  I just laugh and go on….people are so funny.

After the zoo we met back up with Abby and B to enjoy a nice lunch!  We had the best time on our day trip to the middle land.  I can promise we will be meeting up in Waco way more since it was such and easy drive with fun along the way.

headed out bright and early for our day of fun!

Sweet baby M just enjoying the sights

Both were a little unsure of this big guy…but H did finally pet him

seriously the best baby around

Vacation fun for all

Since my lack of blogging I thought I would throw up a post about all our family fun we have had.  AKA picture over load! Get ready for it because this was just August and September fun!


This summer we spent almost 2 weeks in Boston and Cape Cod…it was beautiful there.  We met up with all of Chris' family…we love getting everyone together!  I love that Miss H gets to see both the Roberts and Rocks at once!  She loves her cousins, aunts, and uncles so much and doesn't see them near enough.

 Not only was the trip amazing but we also had family pictures done while everyone was there! They turned out so much better than I could have ever expected!  Love them and Shauna did amazing work…if you are ever in the area I recommend her like crazy. You can see more here

After Cape Cod Miss H and I got to rush down to my sisters house!  She was in labor with sweet baby numero 4!! Yes that is right 4!  Funny how one is so calm and relax come the labor of baby number 4.  Miss H and I left the house around 9:30 and arrived at about 1 to my sister's to find her just getting home from last minute errands.  She had no bag packed or even a thought…lol I mean heck she was only dilated to a 5 at this point.  She hung around and waited for Brian to get off work before they took off for the hospital.  I think the only reason she went was for a good nights sleep and who can blame the woman?  Needless to say the kids and I were good, then my mom and dad arrived to help out.  Miss H loves her cousins and was just excited to be playing with them.  The next morning we all loaded up (me, the 4 kids, mom, and dad) with our gear (toys to play with will waiting) and made camp in the waiting room at the hospital. We arrived around 9:30 and by 11:35 we had a new baby!!  They added another boy to their family…Poor Little Bear will be the only girl with 3 sweet little brothers…she is the queen of the house that is for sure!   We (mom, dad, and I) were shocked it was a boy I think we all thought it was a girl for some reason.   Needless to say happy healthy baby boy and mommy is all we could ask for!

After our fun at my sisters we had to head home and prepare for our next vacation.  This was our yearly trip to Scottsdale, AZ!  I love this trip because it is really just about kicking aback and relaxing!  The boys play golf all day and the girls hang by the pool it is perfect!  Let's just put it this way Miss H cried the day we had to leave she loves it there so much!

Don't worry all our vacation fun didn't end after Labor day…but I'll have to post that in a bit! This post is pretty long already with just our August and September fun :-)
