NINJA TURTLES ARE MAKING A COME-BACK!

WYNN TURNS FIVE !!!

Rose had a great time at Ninja Turtle Wynn's birthday! She thought the chocolate cupcakes were fabulous!  We were very proud of Phyl and cousin Cade for their creativity on making the Ninja Turtle Cake!  Everything was great, well  .... right up until a little girl got sick and the party came to an abrupt halt.  A half of gallon of hand sanitizer and a bath later, we all finally got our stomachs to settle.

Im not sure what is more frustrating... that giant Purple Passy stuck in her mouth in every single cute picture OR the fact that MY CHILD looks this much like my father-in-law and Zero like her momma!  Both situations are a tad bit RIDICULOUS!

Well, you would never know from this picture how hard of a time we have getting this little munchkin to eat!!!  Between the chocolate, the icing, and the chipmunk cheeks - I am here to tell you - Looks can be deceiving!

I can not get over how LONG Rose looks in this picture.  Take into consideration that Mark is 6 feet tall! She is the length of his entire torso, and halfway to his knees. 

THE ZOO

WHERE DADS ARE NEEDED MOST...

Rose and I spent the last day of "spring break" at the Memphis Zoological Park with Crystal and her two boys, Tripp and Cort.  I must say, Rose was absolutely Perfect.  She napped well, ate well, played well, smiled often, and never made a fuss - NOT ONE PEEP! It almost makes me really nervous to ever have another child, because I know in my heart of hearts, that I will never have another child that is this easy.  She just goes with the flow....  nothing bothers her.  Crystal, on the other hand, had her hands FULL.  She left the Zoo needing a xanax!  Two kids are definitely more to handle than one kid! FOR SURE!!!!  I really enjoyed my day with Rose, but I was glad to crawl in bed that night! I was one tired momma!

This picture sums up a day at the Zoo!

Needless to say, after we got home, this momma felt exactly like that poor monkey...
