We got to Waco early on Saturday morning and more than ready to celebrate Gigi!!! And, as a surprise for us - she had PLANS! (Y'all this is huge...she is totally the person that wants everyone to be happy which means she hates make decisions.) She and Pops had decided that it was perfect weather for a trip to the Cameron Park Zoo!! And they were right!
Jenni, Karli and Cooper were able to come which meant that Gigi was in happy heaven with most (not all) of her grandbabies!
(As a side note, I think this picture perfectly describes how much more relaxed you get the more children you have. Landry isn't even attempting to look at the camera but she's in the picture so that's a win.)

She's eight months older, he's 1/2 an inch taller. And they are both T-R-O-U-B-L-E.

Love that I got to spend the day with my two best gals! Days like this I really miss Mrs. Tuley and all the fun that she brought with her. Her friendship was such a blessing to my mom, just like Jenni is to me. But we are always connected and that is what matters.
Landry had no real need for the stroller that we rented. She loved all the animals and sites and sounds. And I love that she is entering such a fun stage of serious learning and growing up. I never cease to be amazed by all the knowledge little ones soak up. She was definitely taking it all in.
Dad was prepared for anything to happen - but I am very glad that he brought that backpack.
(Now that purple and gold attire... well... maroon and white is a much better combo!)
After the zoo and lunch, we met Jeremy, Cristina and Kailyn back at my parents house and lined up for some fast and furious races.
Radley takes it very seriously.
Emmy makes a fashion statement.
And Landry was just happy to finish.
She ran back and forth to that fence about 100 times it seemed. Never once stopped early...even when we told her to turn around. She wanted to do just what the big kids were doing.
We of course ended the night on a sweet note with Pops' made birthday cake (!) and a lovely rendition of Happy Birthday. When I think of all the pictures in front of cake taken at that very same table (with someone awkwardly positioned in the background - sorry, Dad) I can't help but smile.
Years of wishes coming true right there!
Hope all your wishes come true Mom! Love you!
Love your braid :)
