whitney and anthony's wedding

wearing daddy's shoes
we had a lot of fun in arkansas for the wedding weekend. we drove there (9 hours total, but we broke it up into 2 days by stopping in little rock and staying at lindsay's condo). we got to fayetteville on friday around 3:00 and got to visit with people at the hotel before the rehearsal dinner. we got dressed and then headed to the dinner. about 1 mile away from the rehearsal dinner jack got really fussy in the car and then threw up all over him, his carseat, and our car :( so we pulled over asap and got him out of the carseat and loved on him! we took turns cleaning up the mess and the we headed back to the hotel. luckily it was a one time thing!! maybe he was car sick...who knows!! poor baby was starving the next morning though because all we gave him for dinner was 1 cracker and some water! but because he was so hungry he actually tried a banana and like it!! but he hasn't tried one since! weird boy!
we went swimming the next morning and jack seemed to really like it. then we went to the wedding and it was beautiful!
that night at 6:00 we went over to joe and catherine's house for a spaghetti dinner. it was lots of fun and jack loved the dogs and the meatballs!
then we left the next day to start our tip back to little rock and then back to birmingham the next morning. it was a fast fun trip!

jack was apparently really thirsty and wanted to drink the punch the whole time

memphis zoo

the memphis zoo was absolutely amazing! it was mostly all open air (except for the animals of the night room, the snake room, the bird room, pandas, and maybe a bit more)
the "cat" area had trenches and bars , but it felt like they were right there at us. it was so cool!

exploring the cave with daddy

look how the cheetah is sleeping (it's legs are straddling the log)

the tigers. their area was so nice!! they had lots of room and water to play in and a waterfall!!

hippos!! they were right there at us. i could probably touch them if i wanted to.

snack time for the pandas!

watching the other panda eat

he looks so small! the lights were pretty (look up)

jack thought this was so cool! he went in there like 5 times

thanks to robby and andrea we didn't have to pack our big stroller. we borrowed their mclaren...it was so nice!

the bird room. jack loves birds!



jack reading the signs to us!

the monkeys were playing together

elephants!!!

we tried to get a family picture, but jack was mad that we were holding him and that he couldn't see the elephants anymore.

mimi and poppy's visit

my parents came this weekend and we had so much fun! for some reason jack wants to call my dad "poppy" instead of papa. oh well. that's what happens..kids call grandparents whatever they want to call them. like my brother couldn't say grandmother...instead "namer" came out and that's what stuck!! so papa might be poppy!

we played around the house saturday morning while my dad and johnny installed the new vanity in the hall bathroom. then after jack's nap we went to the zoo! that night we made shrimp and grits after jack went to bed. sunday morning we made eggs benedict and played in the backyard. it was a great visit and jack got to show them all his toys at his house.

mimi and poppy passing jack back and forth

jack thought it was so much fun!

looking cool with poppy

chickens!!

johnny finally got to ride the camel at the zoo.
he is waving at jack in this picture.

and jack waved back!

johnny said that he felt silly riding it by himself with out a kid on there with him, but he said it was fun

mimi and jack in the cat room

the tiger in the pool. i thought this was so cute!

jack trying to feed the squirrel monkey. if you hold a cheese puff or some type of food up to the glass the squirrel monkey will come up to you and try to get it. i do this everytime we go to the zoo and i guess jack has picked up on it!!

jack asked poppy to "hepy" (help)

jack wants to be just like his poppy!
