Riley's Birthday Party

Happy 1st Birthday Riley! We love you!

2 more zoo pics.

I couldn't leave these 2 pics out! Riley was too cute in her little hat. And Shane was..... being Shane. He's comparing his wing span to the other birds. Ahhh... gotta love him : o )

Zoo on Riley's Bday!

We got to go to the Fort Worth Zoo with the Mayfields on Riley's first birthday. It was an awesome day at the zoo. The weather was nice. It wasn't too crowded. The girls enjoyed the animals. And we were in good company. Lily ate/wore her first icee. Needles to say she was a big fan. She also got really excited about the baby cow (who licked her) and the otter who had a lot of energy that day.

We heart the Schaefers!

Logan and Lily always play and laugh and enjoy each other's company so much. It's adorable to watch. Plus the moms and dads like chilaxin (chillin out and relaxin) together too!

3 little monkeys

Here is Lily with her friends Reese and Evelyn (Kaitlyn just missed the bed jumping extravaganza). The moms in our playgroup were all chatting in the living room and came into the Menke's guest room to find the girls had organized their own activity.

Cute girls : o )

Jace and Caris

Jace and Caris came and spent a couple of days with us last month. It was cute to see Lily n Jace playing together now that they're a little older and more aware of one another. We had an adventurous day at the zoo (adventurous is the right word... don't you think Caris?). And Caris and I enjoyed our bonding time when the kiddos were sleeping too. We hope this pair comes back for another visit soon!

Rare pic of us all dressed up for a fancy dinner a medical company put on to help the 2nd year residents celebrate the halfway mark in their residency. From now we only have 14 months left!
