Memorial Day Weekend (1 month late)

Memorial Day was such a busy weekend for us! We celebrated J's birthday, played outside and played in the backyard pool for the first time this summer!

His last picture as a one year old 😭😭😭


On Saturday, we woke up and sang Happy Birthday to J, opened presents, ate some yummy breakfast and headed to the Dallas Zoo to celebrate the birthday boy.

We had balloons all over the living room floor when he woke up. (still not fully awake in this picture)



I always decorate the birthday child's bedroom door and the kitchen table. It is just something special that I love doing for them. I usually get the decorations from Dollar Tree and use the banners from their birthday parties. See that Happy Birthday chair seat cover? I got that at the Dollar Tree for ONE DOLLAR. I mean how cute is it???





He played with some of his presents before breakfast. The drum set was a huge hit but getting a non blurry picture didn't happen.





We went to the Dallas Zoo and we had a BLAST!! We played in the children's area, petted goats, saw tons of animals, and fed the giraffes. J's favorite parts were feeding the giraffes (which he talked about all day) and the gorillas.

I love the children's area here. Super cute play area and petting zoo area for the kids to play.



The kids loved taking pictures with all the statues of animals they had all over the zoo 😂

I just love this picture so much. They were checking each other out a lot. 

My cute little birthday boy


Feeding the giraffes! Such a fun experience to do! 







I love this picture of our family of four! 



We came home and played in the backyard with his new t-ball set and soccer goals and new soccer ball.





I made J's birthday cake for the day (gluten and dairy free) and decorated it really pretty.



We ate one of his favorite meals of BBQ meatballs and then we sang Happy Birthday and had cake!



 We then ended the day playing with the filters on Instagram because my children think they are hilarious.






The rest of the weekend we spend playing outside and in the blow up pool in the backyard. Living the high life y'all. It was such a great weekend. Loved, loved, loved it!
