LOVING the meerkats at the zoo...

kept trying to feed the monkey his carrot. was so sad that the monkey wouldn't take it!

seeing the sea lions.

waving from above the sea lions.

checking her map.

looking through the binocs. check out his new "sperry" lookalikes. resale shop!!!

not to be outdone!

watching the giraffes.

still... they were eating. RIGHT. THERE!

pushing buttons. both on the thing, and all of ours. it was nap time!

ice cream!

never good when you eat the ice cream cone from the bottom up...

and we got to spend it with WONDERFUL friends, including a sweet brit. we don't hold it against her!

and a slip-n-slide. nora's new fav...

sweet friends. dressed themselves!

then, they had to put on dirt clothes!!

back to dresses so that nanny could do patriotic toes.

the three friends.

and their patriotic toes.

at the zoo, jamey was talking to the bear. (side note... my kids are OBSESSED with "super why" right now. a show on pbs.) he kept saying, "i am a super reader. i am a super reader. my name is jamey. i am talking to you, bear!!" he didn't understand why the bear wasn't talking back. it was SO CUTE!!

what a WONDERFUL weekend. friday night was nora's little party. saturday, we hung out, napped, went to the pool. went to bed early. sunday was church. ichatting with daddy. outside pool. relaxing. a movie with mom. today was packing for me... two suitcases down!!! then the zoo, and then a fabulous, lowkey bbq with friends. such a laid back evening (maybe because i only had one kid??? the other stayed home with the grents, for some quality time!).

there were a lot of cards played this weekend. a lot of just hanging out with friends and family. a lot of talking to the sexy man i call my husband! (i missed that this last week..) although, we can't get sound and picture to match. so, we can see each other, but still have to talk on the phone. but, hey...

tonight, i watched "eagle eye" with my dad.

tomorrow... WE MOVE IN!!! my sweet hubs bought me a new tv for our bedroom... actually, an upgrade for downstairs and the downstairs tv will go in our bedroom. my request in anticipation for deployments! LOVE THAT MAN! and all that he does to protect my freedom!
