Today was the first day of my new job. Sarah Morris, a good friend of mine, started a business a while ago. She recently realized that she needed help, so she posted on Facebook that she needed help. A few ladies (okay, okay, A LOT) replied that they would love to help out. She hired a few (including me) to help her make the product, fill orders, and ship them for her. I never realized how much work she did to make her dinnerware look awesome. Whew! I'm not complaining, though. I've been looking for a way to help bring in money and Sarah Morris was an answer to my prayers. So, thank you, Sarah Morris. You're awesome.

Promised Pictures
I am not quite sure what Cherish and Jake were looking at, nor do I care to. We were in my LEAST favorite part of the zoo, where all the creepy-crawly things live. Unfortunately, this is one of my children's favorite parts of the zoo.Yuck.
This wolf loved to stare and pace around his pen. It was awesome to watch.
My children are big fans of tigers. They love posing with the tiger statue each time we go.
This mama giraffe was on guard watching all the people watch her baby. It wasn't like the last time we went to the zoo. It was quite entertaining, walking around the zoo with family, and then having a lovely summertime rain and thunder storm happen right outside the giraffe pen. Our family, along with a bunch of other people, took refuge inside the giraffe building until the storm was over. There was a certain giraffe who didn't blink the entire time the storm was occuring. Quite funny.
Here is the newest addition to the zoo! Such a cute baby elephant! It was so cute watching her wake up (quite suddenly, like a little kid waking up from a bad dream) and then running with her noodle-like trunk over to her mother for a quick snack, then flopping back down to finish her nap.
This cute teenager is telling the girls and Jake about an elephant's lower jaw. The girls were fascinated with the jaw and the elephant's teeth.
Now he is showing the girls different types of elephant and rhino skin.
Right as we got to the zoo, we sat down for lunch. While eating, little Jake suddenly appeared at my side and showed me his missing bottom tooth.
The children found this statue of a rhino and saw other children climbing up on it to get their picture taken. They immediatly wanted to do the same. It took us a few minutes to help little Jake climb up onto the back of the slippery rhino.

Busy, Busy Week!
Wow, I can't believe I finally did it. I officially have a blog. Let me introduce myself for those of you who don't know me. My name is Amber Mock, and I am married to the BEST guy in the world. We have been married for 11 years. (WHOA....where did the time go???) We have three wonderful children, who fill our days with laughter, most of the time. We have lived in the same neighborhood for 7 years and have loved every minute of it.
This week is going to be nuts! Heidi is going on a fourth grade campout for two days. She is SO excited!! She has been wanting to pack her duffle bag since last week. I know she is going to have a great time. When she returns, she will only go to school for one more day, then all three of our children have Fall Break.
(Wait...didn't they just have a day off last week??)
Over the weekend little Jake lost another tooth within two days. He now speaks with a lisp. Listening to him talk brings a smile to my face every time. The tooth actually came out while we were at the zoo.
Have a great week everyone!
