Logan

 

Today was Logans big day,,, his first day of school. He was determined to ride that big yellow school bus that has been passing his house for the past 5 years,,, yep today was that day!!! He throws his back pack on his shoulder and gives a big grin to mom and dad!!! He strolls to the bus stop where he starts showing everyone how many jumping jacks he can do in 5 min.

Stepping into that big bus!!!!

What a big boy!!!

Caily at the Caldwell Zoo

 

The Caldwell Zoo is the first Zoo that I remember going to as a child. Living in Tyler made it a perfect place to take my children as they were growing up. Now another generation has come and I'm excited that i had the opportunity to take Caily and let her enjoy this amazing place.

 

Texas in July is Hot, Hot, Hot!
