Favorite Animals at the Zoo

Here are some of the animals we saw at the zoo:

Selah saw him and said, "Aww...monkey sad".

Selah is a big fan of Giraffes. Not as neat as being able to feed them from the bridge at the Colorado Springs Zoo - but they were still beautiful!

Gabe has a thing for Elephants.

Soooo pretty! Wish I had my camera ready. At one time she went over to the other tiger and they played for about 10 seconds.

Each week I teach the kids a Bible story and we do activities based on the story. Last week we studied Joseph and the coat of many colors that his father gave to him. Our lesson from the story is that God can use all situations to work for good. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

These vests were our activity for the week - aren't they adorable?!?

15 Weeks

Gabe and I read this week that the baby is now as big as an apple...

At my doctor's appointment yesterday we got to see the baby and recieved some GREAT news! I had been diagnosed with Placenta Previa at 11 weeks and the ultrasound showed that the placenta has shifted and it is no longer an issue!! The baby looks great - we were able to see it's hands, feet, legs, head, face - so neat! Here are some pictures of the baby the doctor was able to capture:

"Hi" everyone!

We have another ultrasound on May 14th.
25 weeks until we meet our newest addition! We are so excited!

Botanical Gardens

We visited the Botanical Gardens this weekend. It was beautiful - perfect weather and so lovely. Here are some pictures of our visit:

Are they not the cutest kids ever?!?

Where's Selah???

Baylor Medical Lab Week Picnic

Baylor hosted a picnic at Lake Arlington. It was windy, a little chilly, but so fun! The kids had a blast with sidewalk chalk, bubbles, and yummy picnic food!

Nothing says "picnic" like a good slice of watermelon!

Egg Drop Contest

At Papa Serna's house we had and "Egg Drop Contes" this year. We provided various materials to the kids and gave them 30 minutes to use the supplies to protect a raw egg from an 8 foot drop. It was so much fun!!

Gabe with his invention:

Papa Serna getting into the spirit of Easter!

A little bit of sibling rivalry - I guess! This is Nicol - Byron's sister.

All the kids with thier egg protectors.

Byron doing the drops...

Only one egg cracked! They did a great job using thier resourses to protect the eggs.

Opps - cracked egg on the sidewalk.....

My brother-in-law, Jeff, decided that all the eggs that didn't break could be thrown at the brick that he is holding....hmmmm....don't know if that was such a great idea...
