The Best Day

Tuesday was one of the best days. One of those days filled with just pure joy and happiness. Everything went smoothly, everyone was in good spirits, and we were spontaneous. It was perfection! The weather was beautiful, so Amber and I decided to make the most of the gorgeous day with a trip to Oatland Island for their Toddler Tuesday program. I love Oatland Island because it has such a natural, loving atmosphere. The program that day was about butterflies and their life cycle. Cambria and Ezra enjoyed listening to the songs and books and had fun doing the crafts. After the program, we ventured out to explore the animals and the trails.  

Super Aunt :) 

There were TONS of kids!

butterfly craft time!

my whole heart right there <3

the wolves were super active, it was awesome! 

Nursin' in the Ergo, what's new? :)

As we we were driving back through downtown Savannah the atmosphere felt so fun and there were tons of people, so we decided to hangout longer and get some pizza at Vinnie's. Vinnie's didn't open until 4, so we walked to see the green fountains to pass the time. Savannah around St Patrick's Day is just buzzing with excitement!  The kids LOVE being downtown. So much to see, hear and do! After pizza, the kids wanted to play in the fountains in Ellis Square. Luckily I had some extra clothes in the car. :) After the fountain, we enjoyed some gelato while we danced and listened to live music. It was the perfect end to the day. Ezra and Avett fell asleep in about two seconds and Cambria chatted the whole way home, typical. 

the green fountain was very tempting for Ezra 

waiting on the best pizza ever 

we love spending time with Aunt Amber 

can you spot Cambria and Ezra?!

Ezra was SO cold, but continued to play anyway 

lovies and their gelato 

Something I want to remember from the day--While we were in the bathroom together, Ezra and I were talking about babies and growing up and I said to him "Ezra, now you are a kid and maybe one day you'll grow to be an adult!" to which he replied so genuinely, "I want to be a Dad."  It was so  sweet. I think I'll always remember it. <3 I loved spending the day my babies and my little sissy Amber, it was the best!

Ashley's Wood Quote

I recently made my sister a wood quote for her 26th birthday. I love this quote and thought it would be perfect for her.  After I gave it to her she told me it was a quote she's always loved. Success!

I am very happy with the finished product, hope you love it Ash. :)

GT game and Zoo Atlanta

This past weekend we made a trip up to Atlanta to visit family, see Georgia Tech play some football and to check out Zoo Atlanta. It was a busy weekend that left us all tired, but still happy for the experiences.  I have been taking NO pictures lately so I made a point to capture a few moments this weekend.

playing with Raya while destroying her house at the same time  :)

pretty girl

Ramblin' Wreck!

And just for fun, here's a picture of the same thing last year.

 Cambria was SO EXCITED to be at the game.

Ezra was mostly awe-struck by everything happening around him.

Family <3 font="font">

We got to sit by Erin & Erin!!

Ezra fell in love with Buzz! Cambria would not go near him...once again.

Sunday we headed to Zoo Atlanta with our free tickets from the library. All you have to do is check out a DVD about the zoo from any public library in Georgia, watch it, return it, and the librarian will give you a free pass for two adults and two kids! Pretty awesome! It would've cost us like 50 bucks if we'd had to pay!!!

We could've watched the gorillas all day.

We were so happy Amber tagged along.

Cambria read the map and gave us directions :)

The whole gang, minus me.

Ray-Ray!

Playing at the park within the zoo. Nice belly shot in this one.

It was an awesome weekend. I'm so thankful Ashley and Phillip put up with us! We'll be back in a few weeks for another exciting weekend!

Happy Birthday Sweet Amber

Happy 21st Birthday Amber!!! 

I had so much fun celebrating your big day today {well, yesterday now}

You're such a kind person and I just love love love having you as a sister.

Always keep that pretty smile of yours :)

Casey's 19th

Happy Birthday Casey Simone!

Always remember, Sisters = Soulmates

I love you and am so happy to call you my sister.

And Cambria thanks you for being her favorite... ;)

Today at the Library

Today we went to storytime at the Pine Oak Library behind Target.

This library is so new and modern, it's 100x better than our tiny library in Richmond Hill. 

We technically can't check out books because we don't live in Chatham County, but we can attend events!

Every Tuesday they have an awesome lady read books and sing songs with the kids. 

Tuesdays are especially for ages 0-2 and I love it because we're all in the same boat trying to play and listen with our wiggly-don't-want-to-sit-still toddlers.  

And the class is extremely interactive and fast-paced so it makes it so much easier.

Another reason I like it..it's FREE!

We can't make it every week, but when we do both Cambria and Ezra really enjoy it. 

Amber is in town this week so she came along. 

Cambria just looooooved having her there.

twins for the day, not intentional.  Oh and Cambria's outfit is 100% thrifted, cost about $3!

so happy to have amber there :)

playing with my keys...always

a little bit of dancing after the books

we were gettin' our groove on too

everyone gets a coloring sheet after, one of cambria's favorite parts

reading a book afterwards

the library is amazing, there's a huge TREE!! in the children's section, how cool is that!!

This picture wasn't taken at the library but I think it's so precious so I had to include it.  Kyle and I are leaving for a wedding in Texas (yay Kirsten!!!) on Friday so we've been giving Ezra a bottle to practice..makes me sad. :(

:D for books and libraries and storytime
 After the library, Amber and her boyfriend Mateus took Cambria to the mall. 
she.had.a.blast. Thanks Ambs!! :)
