farm cuteness

seriously tho...how absolutely positively adorable is this thing?!!

how many of you remember little bob!! he was my little mini pony when i was younger, then we sold him to a friend of ours and we still keep in touch. we just recently went and saw him which was fun ^.^

photography & blogging has been super on and off lately. i try to take the camera with me when i can, and i want to practice and learn some more things with portraits. i'm still considering offering photo sessions, just not 100% sure yet! and for blogging, i try! but when i'm busy and so much is happening i don't pressure myself to get any blogging done. i have missed it tho!

how are yall? whats your favorite animal?

Dickerson Zoo || 8.27.17

So last Saturday we went to the zoo, and I'm pretty sure y'all know WE GOT TO SEE GIRAFFES AND PET THEM. They were soooo sweet and it was really amazing!! There were so many awesome animals there! It was our fist time being to the zoo in SPGFD, so that was kinda crazy, having lived here for 7 years! And it was really funny bc all the sudden we were just like 'Ok get everyone ready we're going to the zoo!!' Lol, my famiy is like that :P
So below are all the pics...have fun ;) 

First thing we saw were the flamingos and I LOVE FLAMINGOS!! They were sooo beautiful!!

Cheetahs

Look at this huge elephant!! He looked so lonely Mom was bout to climb in there and pet him/her. <333

WOW. AWESOMENESS.

Well, there's me- and the giraffes nose lol. It was SO hard trying to get a pic with him cause there were sooo many people! :(

And to end it there's a pic of lilli riding a frog!! ;D

making memories in St. Louis || May 14, 2017

Okay wowowowow where do I even start?????

From my journal-May 14, 2017
-So today was super duper filled up and busy-but a very awesome busy!!!
We got up at 8 (and my face and arms were covered with hives from accidentally eating corn) (it was so awful) and got ready to go! Dada was in a 'Get ready, we're going on an adventure!' mood! We left at 9 and around 2:00 we were 20 mins from the zoo, and traffic came to a stand still. Joshua prayed, and about 10 mins later we were moving again! 
Really half the time is getting there, and the other half is finding a parking space. (St. Louis is like that :l) We ended up paying, but it was a good spot close to the zoo, so we were thankful!
The zoo was AH-MAZING!!! So many animals that took my breath away. (ESPECIALLY THE FLAMINGOS OMW!!) 
We saw elephants (more on them in another post :)) hyenas, lions, penguins, polar bears, and so many others! it was so great!
Then we went to Illinois and touched the Mississippi river and saw the arch! I was really hoping to touch it because I haven't been able to in all the times I've been there, but it was all fenced off. :( Oh well, there will be another time. :)
It was awesome and wonderful and amazing to see everything again! And we made the bestest memories!!
We ate at Culvers for dinner, and now I finally have 10 scoopie tokens to get a volleyball! (hehe, nerd here) So next time we got to Culvers Imma gonna get one!!!
We got home at 12:40, and I was still pretty itchy so I took some pills, benadroyl, and rubbed coconut all over, and that helped. I really didn't want to have to get an IV again. :( Thankfully I didn't have to, I just toughed through it!!
(The next morning caden and lilli woke up with swollen faces, from a reaction to the sunscreen. :( Poor guys!!
And that's it!! Our adventure in St. Louis had ended, but I will forever look back on that as one of the best days ever!

(except for the allergies...)

Now zoo pics!!!

No words will ever express how much I love this wonderful woman! First a Mother, Forever a Friend <333
