{zoo!!}

In the car headed to the zoo!





Swinging like a monkey in the children's zoo!





Parker's favorite...The pink flamingos!




Daddy and Hayes checking out the Galapagos turtles. Those things are huge!




Watch out! They might bite!




Pretty girl posing for the camera.








Posing by EVERY single picture in the zoo. SOOO big!




The water was their favorite part and a great way to cool off after a hot day.








Fun times! What a great day with our family. We are so blessed!

{Family Movie Night}

Our first movie night with just the 4 of us was a success...kind of. We loaded up with lots of candy, a sprite for the kids to share and sat in the top row as far in the corner as possible to watch Toy Story 3. The kids were through their candy before the opening credits (huge mistake on my part), but had a great time anyway. Hayes sat still for about the first 20 minutes which impressed me and then proceeded to lay on the floor, sit on the steps and every seat on our row. All in all is was a great night to spend with the family!

Hayes has been blowing us away by all of his talking! We were praying for a long time that he would begin talking and now in the past few weeks he has not stopped!

Tonight we were working a puzzle and he pointed and said "something missing". I was so proud! Love that kid!

{Market}

Dallas World Trade Center





I just returned from 6 days at Dallas Market. 6 days! I missed my kids tremendously while I was gone and couldn't sleep without Zac next to me!

When I returned home tonight Parker said "I just can't stop hugging you!" and Hayes just insisted I sit with him on the couch and snuggle under the "cobers"! I just live those kids...absence definitely makes the heart grow fonder!

{Riding Bikes}

This has become one of our kids favorite things to do! Hayes has even learned to ride a bike at 2 years and 4 months old! I am sure this is completely normal, but we still think he is SUPER coordinated and great a everything he does. Hey, that's what we are supposed to do...we are his parents afterall! Please disregard the fact that he is riding a pink Barbie bike. His bike will be coming very soon, but who says you can't be tough on a hot pink Barbie bike?

{Parker Addison}

A little update on Parker, our beautiful, spunky, 4 year old daughter, who brings so much joy and light to our family!

This past year she was in Broadway Babies and loved every minute of it! She loves to dress up and dance so it was a great class!

She loves her Daddy! This is them attending the Daddy/Daughter Dance which she still talks about on a weekly basis!

She's also really competitive and wants to be the best at everything she does.

(Not sure where she gets that.)

She's kind, compassionate and loves her friends.

A little bossy at times, but definitely a girl that knows what she wants!

We love everything about this girl and so blessed to have her in our lives! She makes us laugh and smile every day! We know God has big plans for her life and glad that we were chosen as her parents!

I'm Back!!

Hello long lost blog,

Oh how I have neglected thee! I'm sorry I've been away so long but don't worry...I'm back! It's been a crazy, hectic year for The Gladhill's but instead of catch you up on ALL that has happened in the past 12 months I will just say A LOT has changed. Kids are growing up, I'm definitely older and maybe a little wiser (or crazier, not sure which quite yet), and we are having the time of our lives. Sure things are nuts with 2 small kids but we wouldn't trade this time in our lives for anything in the world.

So, I pledge to get better at sending updates, pictures, encouraging thoughts, and little bits of randomness for all to enjoy, but mostly for our favorite Aunt Sarah and Uncle Blake who we miss so much and hope this will bring a little bit of our home into their new home!

Enjoy!
