Birthday Blessings

Thirty Five! What a wonderful birthday I've had this year. Saturday night we went to eat at Olive Garden to celebrate. Dinner was delicious and it was nice to be out of the house for a little while.
Sunday was actually my birthday so after church Shane and Nathan brought me home a birthday cake. Nathan picked out my candles in the store and couldn't wait to blow the fire out and have cake once they got home!
I also had two sweet friends, Reba and Theresa come for lunch showering us with birthday and baby gifts and a Nathan gift too. They also brought me homemade cupcakes - yummy! I feel very blessed to be 35 and alive with Christ as my Savior, Shane the best husband ever and two precious boys in my life.

Albany Mini Zoo

A few weekends ago we went to the Parks at Chehaw in Albany, Ga. which turned out to be a pretty cool little zoo. We got there just in time for the Cheetah Run. We learned cheetahs naturally only chase and pounce their prey once a day. So the trainers have set up a fake prey chase thing which is actually line where they zip this flag looking thing around and if the cheetah catches it they feed them meat. Shane and I thought it was amazing to watch and Nathan actually thought it was pretty cool too. By the time they let the third cheetah out to run Nathan was yelling "Run cheetah, run!" The monkeys and the bald eagles were among his other favorites as well as the big bridge and the eagles nest they had made that you could climb up in.
