Cake pictures



These are the pictures I promised LAST month from Jasmine's birthday that was in MAY. Okay, so I'm a little behind....forgive me.

4th of July and Mini Vacation

We spent the evening of the 4th of July with some friends in Chatom, AL and the kids got to see their first fireworks show and magic show. I have to say, they LOVED it! :) Gabe, who did NOT want to sit down to watch the magic show when it started, decided that he loved that the best out of everything. He wanted to watch all three performances even though all the tricks were the same.

On Monday, we left for Jackson. We stayed overnight in a hotel and went to the Jackson Zoo on Tuesday. It was cloudy and looked like rain, but held off until after lunch. I was thankful because it wasn't so hot you couldn't stand to be outside. Another plus was that there were very few people visiting the zoo that day, so the kids could run ahead a little and play. They weren't able to ride the train, which they were disappointed over, but the nice man running the carousel let them ride twice. They enjoyed that.

We also toured the Old Capitol Museum. I had visited there before quite a few years ago, but they have renovated since then. I love museums and Josh loves anything historical, so we really enjoyed it, even with chasing three kids. :)

It was a nice mini vacation, and the first we've ever had. The entire weekend was full of "Firsts" and we made some nice memories!
