Our Trip To The Zoo!

A friend and I took our kids to the Zoo today and boy did we have a great time! I don't know what to type besides letting the pictures do the talking (and there are a lot of them).Tyler, Grayson, Addie and Sydni.

Me and the kids by the bronze gorilla.

Addie, Sydni and Grayson by the Zebras. (yes all two of them)

We got there early enough that it was feeding time for some of the animals and that is always fun for everyone.

So when we got home I asked Addie what her favorite part of the zoo was. Don't even try to guess. She said "the bats" are you kidding, the whole time we were looking at the bats I had the willies, and that was her favorite! She also loves the big spiders and the massive snakes that I really could pass up at visits to the zoo. I sure hope she grows out of this before she realizes you can buy those for pets at pet stores.

SICK!

Addie hatching out of the egg at the playground.

Of course you have to take a ride on the train!

So this picture....... yeah don't know what to think. I did not take this picture so I am guessing that Addie did. I am hoping it is an empty exhibit and that is a stuffed animal monkey because it does not look too lively.

Family Photos

Yesterday my sister took some fun family pictures for us. She did a great job, I wanted to post some of my favorites. I did the touch-up on them just playing around, so if you don't like it, then it's my fault, not hers.

-Thanks Julie

Two cute kids.

^ I love the look on Grayson's face in this one. It fits him perfetly!

Can you believe how much they look a like.

Addie, so cute.

First Day Of School!

Addie had her first day of preschool today and she absolutely loved it.

She has two little girls from our neighborhood that go to the same preschool.

So some of you mom's might be familiar with these little beads. They come with these plastic pattern shapes, and kids put the beads on the little posts in the pattern and then when they are done you have your mom iron it into a cute little useless image. Addie loves these and it is one of her favorite things to do while little brother is sleeping.

This morning I was on the phone (witch usually attracts my children to come want my attention) when Addie was saying "help, help, help, mom help".........

I turn around to this. Addie had one of those little beads all the way on her tooth. All the way! What are you suppose to say. Thanks again to my sister Julie for starting this blog for me because my thoughts turned from "why in the heck did you have that in your mouth" to "Oh crap, hold on while I get the camera." It took us a while to get the bead off but luckily she still had a tooth when we got it off.
