Weekend scenes

We had such a great weekend!  We basically had zero plans, which was awesome!  Friday night after getting Champs down, Barrett and I grilled some yummy burgers topped with pancetta, gorgonzola cheese, and sauteed mushrooms & onions! We had some homemade sweet potato fries, a major go-to at our house, with the burgers.

Saturday morning we headed to the Zoo.  This was our 2nd time going and we did some different stuff this time than we did last time.  Champs rode the carousel for the first time!

Deciding if he liked it!

He did, but held on tight to Barrett!

We fed the giraffes!

What an amazing looking animal!

And Champs and Barrett rode the train!

They looked so cute on the train!

Hey buddy!

Pointing at the tiger!

Another beautiful animal! And he looks ready for football season!

I didn't let Barrett have all the fun!  I had fun with the monkey too!

Lunch break!

Touching the goats!

It was a fun morning at the zoo!  It was great seeing how much more Champs took in this time than a couple of months ago when we went.  That afternoon, we went to the pool with the Boyers!  Champs loved playing with the cute girlies!

Sunday morning Joan and I were texting and realized we were both planning to do sailor suits for church.  We had to get a pic of all the cousins together!!

I had some funny videos to post, but I keep getting error messages!  I will try again tomorrow!  

Few things to note from the weekend, etc....

• Champs is FINALLY saying Mamamamama and I THINK he knows it's me!
  
• He can climb the entire flight of stairs in our house very quickly, so the baby gate is there to stay for a while!
  
• We only have 3 more weeks with Nanny Pat and James and this makes me so so sad!  She has been SUCH a blessing to our family!  Champs will be starting at Eastminster Day School in mid August and I know will miss them both so very much.
  
• In just under 3 weeks my BABY will be ONE.  How is this possible?  I know, all mothers say this, but truly - time is FLYING!!
