Welcome Back-from the Outback!

He's Back!

My brother Chris had been out of the country for the past 6 weeks. It was so nice to visit with him and hear all about his trip in Australia visiting Anja's family and exploring Sydney and the coast. In good ol' Chris fashion he made a slide show to highlight all the amazing things he did. I love hearing his stories and they really did take the most beautiful pictures. Not to mention he brought back some awesome gifts that we have all been sporting!! Hopefully one day the Jones family will get to go out there and see first hand Australia! But in the mean time we will enjoy our little local zoo and some family time! This is a picture of all the crew cruising around the Orange County Zoo. (I know we have been there like 3 times this month, but it really is close and perfect for kids) 

Addison next to her favorite bunnies!

and Uncle Billy next to his best friend

Addison has taken a liking to brushing hair, I thought it only included barbie and humans. But she was all about this little Goat!

Had to take a picture of this California King Snake - this little guy is the same snake that I found in our garage about 5 months ago. I still think of "Sneaky Sam the Silly Snake" and pray to God and cross my fingers that he is long gone and back in the wild!

 *Dont worry they are not venomous and won't bite. AND If you were to call Animal Control and ask them to come out and catch it  - they will laugh at you.* 

Reese enjoying her Minnie Mouse Backpack! She is getting so Big :)

and giggling with Uncle Billy

This picture below reminds me of Chris. Whenever we let Reese roam on a hike, in the park, or at the beach she tends to do her own thing. She will go at her own pace, take notice of the littlest things, and looks sincerely so Happy! Her carefreeness, sly smile, and love for nature definitely reminds us of Uncle Chris! 

Ohh my... these girls are Soooo Big!

The look on Addison's and Reese's face in the picture below pretty much sums up their day . They loved all the attention from everyone, the freedom to run around, the train ride, picnic lunch, and of course al the animals!

Thanks Omer Clan for making an ordinary Monday be so Special!
