Now, as a family of seven, I often refer to ourselves as "the zoo". It feels a little bit zoo-like wherever we head to as we have quite a bit of cubs who tend to head in their own direction, regardless of guidelines and rules.

Every March, Jason has a trade show that allows us to head to Grammy & Opa's to spend the week, and one day is devoted to the birthday boys. Last year we went to the aquarium, this year, we headed to the zoo--which is quite fitting, don't you think?
(holla to Jason's sense of style)

I am not quite sure why, but whenever we try to take a family picture, not one of my children decides to look at the camera. Love that. It's like the big, blank space on my wall laughs at me, reminding me that I may never get my ideal family photo. Whatever blank space. I didn't want to hang something there anyway.

The birthday boys. Everett loves his "spenders". We love them too. No more bum show.

A big thank you to Grammy and Opa for our vacation fun and for treating the zoo to the Zoo.

And as a side note... Jason and I are quite the road trip nazi's...we celebrated with great joy that the twins have decided to be good road trippers.. We made our one stop goal, and we did in record breaking time (30 mins was our latest record, I'll have you know we made it in 27--do you know how impressive it is to change three diapers, breast feed two babies, order Inn N Out for a whole family, and gas up a vehicle in 27 minutes?). It's the little things...
