A couple of...FINALLY'S!

So the first "finally" on the list is...we FINALLY made it to the Zoo! We went Friday and had such a great time! We saw lots of animals and rode the train and carousel and enjoyed the perfect temperature. One funny side note, we were walking back toward the entrance to get on the train, and as I looked up I saw a lady not so slyly, taking some pictures of us. I at first thought she was taking pictures of someone behind us until I looked behind us and there was not anyone there! A little strange I thought but whatever!

That funny giraffe behind Asher did not move for the longest time. Cory almost had Asher convinced it was a statue!





Bensen by the singing elephant that sneezes, he loved that!


After the long day was over, they were all smiles!


And the next "finally"...Asher lost his 1st tooth! He has been wiggling this tooth for what seems, forever. Really there was no way that he was going to let us pull it out, so I just let him loosely wiggle it, and wiggle it, and wiggle it! Until Friday afternoon he showed it to me and that tooth could almost do a 360! Next thing I know Cory gave it a little push (which he was in big trouble because he did it while I was putting Lily to bed and as a result I missed all the excitement...) and the tooth came out nice and easy. It is kind of interesting how that was the first tooth he grew as a baby and it is the first tooth to come out. And yes the tooth fairy came that night and he received a whole dollar!! Wahoo! (He put that dollar straight into our trampoline fund...)



And the last "Finally"...FINALLY summer is here! July 4th is the official kick off for me! Let the fireworks begin! To celebrate, this morning we woke up at 5:15am to go with my 2 sister in law's and families to see the Hot Air Balloons...then we have a BBQ tonight and one tomorrow and Asher's BD on Thursday and July 24th and oh how much fun we will have the next couple of weeks!







Yeah Finally it's summer!!!

How fun! What a great list of Finallys to have! Of course someone at the zoo was taking pictures of you guys; you have a beautiful family, who can blame her!!!! Happy Birthday to Asher a few days early! I can't believe that he's almost 7 years old! Man, time flies!
