Note: Well something happen to alignment of my blog, so I played with it a bit and this is the most simple thing I could come up with to get it to look decent...may work with it again or reload it at some point but for now, it helps me share with friends and family what's going on with us....so simple it shall be. Format isn't the best part of this blog anyhow...LOL.

On with the post:
Whats going on? About two weeks ago the children were out for spring break, we went to the zoo. I turned 39 (4/16)and yesterday, My darling husband turned 40.

I was disappointed when the day before my birthday my children decided they wanted to go to their grandmothers (Norm's mother)....AND Norm got called in for work, which meant he would be sleeping all day on my birthday and the kids wouldn't be here to spend the day with me. I received a couple of well wishes per phone calls..but otherwise it was just another day. When Norm finally got up and we had dinner, he took me to see "Fast & Furious"-(good movie). I sucked it up as usual and tried really hard not to let it bother me. Jamie, I really missed you this year!

Anyhow Norm turned 40 yesterday....and with all good means, and angelic intentions....I made him BLACK cupcakes. Complete with black cake, on the inside and BLACK icing...LOL! It was fun shopping and planning this out, not to mention cooking while he was sleeping. I think I had more fun making the cupcakes and trying not to "wear" the black. I put a little surprise in each cupcake, by inserting Milkyway's in them. Here are my results:
Well while the kids were out for spring break we took them to the zoo. I finally captured Breanna's camera and snagged some of the pictures she took. I took the day off and spent it with them...I let the "little"photographer take over for the. My photographer "shadow" took some nice pictures at the Memphis Zoo.
Below are the pictures Bre took of various animals at the zoo...by no means is this ALL of the pictures she took...but just some random shots. **I think Norm took the most interesting shot of the day (Last one)..... **
 

I think these escaped from their cage...they kept following us around the zoo~! I ended up bringing home these home with me...
