TAUTPHAUS PARK ZOO

We made it to the zoo finally. There were 3 baby lemurs there and they were so cute, we watched them for quite a while.

Chloe was laughing at these monkey's because they kept swinging in front of her in the window and she could see their butts. She thought it was hilarious. 

The windows were so dirty, but I caught 3 otters coming up to Gavin and "playing" with him. 

They were really fun and active this trip

Gavin showing me his "new trick"

Even the sloth bear was out today : )

Can't leave the zoo without a tiger picture

Gavin asked me to take this picture...

...and had to beg me to take this one. Boys are so weird!

You can't really tell, but the snow leopard was literally chasing and biting his own tail. I was laughing and showing the kids but they just didn't think it was as funny as I did.

My buddies the Kookaburra's

I remembered quarters this time so the kids were able to feed the ducks and watch all the baby ducks waddle around. They also watched a pelican eat a fish and a pink bird named Aurora from Australia was saying "hi" to them.

Mother's Day 2015



My Annual Mother's Day Picture

Gavin 8, Mason 5 and Chloe 4

(sorry about the glare, I need to learn how to edit/photo shop etc)

I had to promise the kids a silly face picture so that the would smile normal for at least one of them.



Gavin made this "rainbow heart" for me. He was so excited to show me. After we took the picture he realized he spelled "mothers" wrong (I noticed it right away but didn't want to point it out because I love it just the same) and fixed it. He even used the little carrot^ to add the "h". 

Mason colored me a picture and gave me two "chocwetts", one for him and one for me, LOL. He hates to color so I was pretty impressed that he colored the entire little boy. 

Chloe made me a little watering can with some flowers to plant.

And now my favorite part, the Mother's Day Interviews:

Life of Fry

Gavin has been reading Harry Potter like crazy and I'm having the hardest time keeping up! This kid can read like no other. 

Mason with his crazy bedhead wanted to help me make muffins one morning for breakfast

My kids were being way to quiet and I was totally expecting to find a huge mess or kids covered in sharpie, but I found this instead. My three little bookworms

Just one of the random things I find as a mom that make me giggle

Mason was invited to his very first "friend" birthday party. He couldn't believe that he go to go all my himself without mom, dad, cousins, etc. It was for his friend Blaze and he LOVED it!!

There are at least 3 different things on Mason's shirt...from just one day. Luckily it all came out. 

Cody sent me this when I was in San Antonio. The kids sang a song in sacrament meeting, "I love to see the temple". 

We went to Scotty's for one of our Fat FRYday's. Gavin finished his ice cream first so passed time by playing with Chloe's pig tails

Cookie dough bites

My apple tree is gorgeous this spring!!



Life on Fry Farm

Mason got a little carried away with his marshmallow

We had a combined birthday party for Paul and Erin. The kids discovered the hose and it occupied them for a long time

Chase was holding the hose while the other kids filled their mouths full of water, spit it out and propelled themselves backwards and onto their butts

It was all fun and games until Chase realized he was soaking wet, but he had so much fun and was laughing so hard. 

Gavin ended up with 3 sticks in his popsicle and Taylor only had 1. Gavin wanted me to take a picture

My sleeping baby girl with her princess

Gavin's newest tattoo. He likes to put them on his chest because he is so skinny that when his heart beats it makes the tattoo's pulsate. 

The young men/young women in our ward played "Hide and Seek" at Walmart. We were one of the families that were asked to come and be "found". Cody and Gavin found "disguises" to wear around the store. 

Nope, not obvious at all!

My kids had so much fun and were so disappointed when it was over. They kept asking to play again, maybe next year. 

Cinco de Mayo

 

I had about 2 hours between work and scouts to celebrate so we made the most of it. We all put on our sombrero's and took silly pictures because that what us Fry's do best. 

The boys

The Girls



Have you ever tried kissing while wearing a sombrero? It is so hard!!

 

 

We went to Pachanga's and had some Mexican food (and of course Horchata). Right before we left there was a total down pour so we made a run for it!

We all (except Cody he was paying the bill) got pretty wet, but it was so fun (unless you ask Chloe)running down the street in the rain.
