I am AMAZING!

I did it! I took all three boys by myself on their first "real" outing that wasn't to the grocery store or play group. We went to the zoo. Just me, Taegen, Kyler and Strider. To make matters worse, I forgot the double stroller. So I pushed Strider in his stroller and Taegen and Kyler walked. I hesitate to say this as I don't want to jinx myself in the future but it was a HUGE SUCCESS. We had a GREAT TIME! It really was so much fun. We were there for 2 1/2 hours and it was so great. First of all, Kudos to Taegen. He helped so much. As soon as we got out of the car he took Kyler's hand and led him from that point on. He helped him up stairs, down ramps, sitting at the dolphin show, everything. I tried to hold Kyler's hand and he just started crying for Taegen. So...Taegen came over and held Kyler's hand and Kyler stopped crying and went wherever Taegen led him. It was so cute to see. Strider was also excellent and he was only asleep for about 30 minutes. He was as happy as a clam.

So - I need to somehow mark this post so that every time I'm having a "hate being a mom" moment, I can read this blog and remember that one time, long ago, I did enjoy it (for at least a day). :):)

Isn't this just precious??? (I promise I didn't stage this pic at all. Taegen just took his hand and they were off.)

Strider is just so freakin' cute - nothing else to say!

I had to post this picture so my mama and dad could see the boys in their new shirts. The boys love them. Thanks gma and gpa Stapp.
