These are old. Back in March for Spring Break Jake and I went to Fort Worth. We went to the Zoo. My dad even took off of work to go with us!

Jake was telling us to "shhhhhhhh" because
some of the animals were sleeping.

Nice blue gum, me.

Checking out the giraffes and an emu (on the left).

This picture is very scary.

This is one of the many reasons why the Fort Worth Zoo is far superior to the Little Rock Zoo. The scenery and habitats are amazing!

Pointing at... something.

He was excited to see some more animals.

I did not want to go into this bird cage of death.

"Look, Jake! Sharks!"

The awesome penguin exhibit.

They had a bird comparison wall. My dad wins.

She totally could have gone bigger.

I will get close to this kind of bird.

Then we went to the park for a picnic.

Jake checking out the train while we ate.
(We did the train in May.)

We left Tuesday right after school to head to Fort Worth. We stopped in Texarkana to eat and was invited to eat with my friend Sarah and her parents.

They didn't have a high chair or booster seat, so Jake sat like a big guy.

This is how Jake looked when we finally got there...
at almost 11:00pm.

He decided to go with the sideways-sleeping.

Apparently we didn't do anything important Wednesday because I have no pictures from that day.

Thursday morning we watched the parade.

He was a little more interested than last year.
And had a little bit more hair.

He did a little Belly Button Book reading with Grandude.

He thought it was funny to not sit still for a picture of his shirt.

He checked on Granna's progress in the kitchen.

He felt Grandude's whiskers.

He put on his bib from Mimi and was ready to eat!

All done eating, he had a full belly!

We then got changed into our gear for the big A&M game.

I don't remember what he was doing, but it was hilarious.

Gig 'em Ags!
This picture is terrible, but it's the only one in the
overalls where he's looking at the camera.

This is how Jake would look as a Duggar.

Friday we didn't go ANYWHERE!

We took a nap.

(His head isn't as wedged as it looks.)

Saturday we went shopping at this new awesome shopping center in Arlington. We saw this "Texas A&M" sign thinking it would be an A&M store. It was nothing. I don't know why it was there.

We ate at Jason's Deli. Mmmmm...

Jake wore his HOWDY shirt that I found at Gymboree on clearance.

We took Jake's first flight last weekend when we went to Fort Worth for Mother's Day/birthdays.

I'm excited!

Checking out the other passengers.

Our plane is here!

Yay flying!

What's out there?

Reading up on the safety guidelines.

Browsing the SkyMall mag.

Finding the most interesting thing
near us: the screw on the armrest.

We did not get near the engine, as it warned us.

Jake and his Grandude

One time he got really really tired.

We celebrated my mom's and my birthday.
My name made it on the cake this year!

Unlike last year.

Jake helped blow out the candles.

Unlike last year when he just sat there.

Mom and her kids near Mother's Day.

Jesus has a lawn care service in Fort Worth!

Chatting with Great Grammy.

Chillin' with Uncle Josh.

I realized I didn't take any pictures with Jake on Mother's Day (just like last year) so we took a few before he went to bed. His tongue is out all the dang time these days.

On the way back to the airport, we drove by Six Flags. They're deconstructing the Texas Giant!
(I hate that ride, though, so I don't care.)

Just relaxin' on the way back to the airport!
