Have you ever had an ostrich, a llama, huge deer, zebras, goats and donkeys coming right up to your car window to eat??!! We did, in San Antonio, Texas, and it was crazy!! Some of these animals were definitely not shy, but it made it that much more fun and exciting! Petting a zebra alone was a highlight for me for sure! Thanks for watching!

Legos are a favorite toy around our house! While we were in Texas, we noticed a Legoland Discovery Center in Dallas and the kids really wanted to go. We went and the kids had a blast! They had rides, a good size indoor playground, play places and even an outdoor water park. We enjoyed our day there :) Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to give us a THUMBS UP! ... Read More

We stayed at the Dream More Resort in Dollywood. There’s so much to do! They have an art room that my kids loved, a playground a pool, and lots of other fun things to do outside. My kids especially liked the piano player who was there because he invited them to sing (even though they got shy when they realized a ton of people were watching them). If you go there, I highly recommend the breakfast buffet, and I’m not exaggerating–they had the best pancakes and waffles I have ever had in my life. I would go back just to have them again. If you’ve been, leave me your comments and let me know your favorite thing about your stay! Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to give us a THUMBS UP! ... Read More

We spent a week in New York. It was our very first time there. We saw so many things that we have always dreamed of visiting, and there’s still a lot more left to see if we ever get to go back! We were able to see some of the things on our bucket list like the Statue of Liberty and Times Square and we ate delicious New York foods including a stop at the famous Black Tap for milkshakes. For this 24 hour video, we filmed for 24 hours during the week and compiled it to make our video. I was early in my pregnancy and not always feeling that great, so filming just a few hours a day worked out great for us :) Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to give us a THUMBS UP! ... Read More

We hardly see snow where we live, so sand sledding sounded like a perfectly fun activity as we were driving and saw a sign for White Sands National Monument. The funny thing is that we decided to go there because we thought it would be pretty (and we needed a break from driving), but when we got there we saw people carrying snow sleds and discs. We asked if people were really allowed to sled and they said yes, so we bought some discs and had a fantastic time! This is actually not technically sand, it is gypsum and it is very cold due to a water table beneath the sand that keeps the temperature down. When we didn’t have shoes on, our feet were freezing!

One thing I will never forget from my childhood is my younger brother getting a carton of eggs from the fridge while my mom was busy and dropping them one by one, all over the floor. None of my kids had ever done anything like that with eggs, until Michael recently decided to attempt his own Kid Size Cooking in his playhouse kitchen. At first I was a bit upset that Michael had made this mess, but when he told me he was trying to do Kid Size Cooking, it kinda melted my heart a little bit. How do you be mad at that??!

So much happened in today’s vlog! Not only is it almost Christmas, but it is Zac & Chris’s birthday week, so we have been celebrating nonstop around our house!
