Big Field Trip to the Zoo-Part 1


Charlie is so excited to be at the zoo! We decided to go with Janice's daycare on a field trip to the MN zoo! We had 3 car loads, 4 adults, 8 children 2 and under (they are free) and 4 children 3 and up. Auntie Alexis joined in the fun! We had a really good day, all of the kids were super good!! The only problem we ran into was in the playground an older man (with no children with him) started calling Amelia's name and taking photos of her. This bothered me a lot, I put my hand in front of his camera and told him he couldn't take photos of her. He got very mad at me and yelled at me telling me that we were in a public place and he has all the right to take photos of who he wanted because that was the law! I proceeded to tell him he was wrong and he finally walked away yelling at me. Another mother in the playground went and reported him to the zoo officials because he was taking photos of other little children! As a mom, it makes you nervous when someone listens to you interacting with your child and then uses your child's name to get their attention! After that, we continued having a wonderful time at the zoo! It will take several posts to show the photos. Only my children, nieces and nephews will be shown!

Parker showing the girls where he is going for the birthday party! They didn't understand soon Parker was going to leave them! They were not happy about that!


More windows to dirty with their little fingerprints!


Daddy was a little jealous, he wanted to go in and play too!

Hello Kitty


The girls love the Hello Kitty store at the MOA! We were bringing Parker to a birthday party at the MOA on Saturday so we thought to walk around the mall for the afternoon! We were across the way from the Hello Kitty store when Mommy spotted Miss Hello Kitty. We rushed over camera in hand! We made it right before she was going to leave!! The girls were in awe! They wanted her to pick them up, they danced with her and really didn't want to share her with anyone else! Needless to say the only thing that got them back in their stroller was the Hello Kitty hats they got!! Charlie slept right threw all the excitement!!


Clap for me Hello Kitty!


Let's Dance!!


Sharing with my sister only!


Bye Bye Hello Kitty!


My Hello kitty!

There is a sound that attacts many children as it comes up the street, that is the ice cream man! Well, the girls heard it from inside. We ran out to get them a treat, money in hand, ran down the driveway and believe it or not that ice cream man passed us by! Ugh, what to do? Two little girls threw themselves on the deck in tears! Mommy and Grandma were getting ready to go to a Tribute for Grandpa so we thought a treat would of been a good distraction from us leaving and daddy staying home! Daddy came out with two bomb pops from the freezer thank goodness!! So here are some photos of happy girls who got their treat afterall!! Note to their parents: Don't let them see you run out to get the ice cream man or say were getting a treat until the treat is in hand!!





Just Playing at Home with Mommy & Daddy


Amelia and Baylee walking in Mommy and Daddy's shoes!! They giggled their way across the living room, this is when I finally got the camera out and they were turning around to go back to the hallway!!

Ummm...Miss Amelia, what do you think you are doing young lady??? Nothing Mommy really, I wasn't going to touch the remote!!!

Our little chunkers monkers!!

Foot + Food = creative way to eat


So, both girls like to put their feet on their highchairs!! Tonight, Baylee puts some food in her toes and brings it to her mouth. Yes, yuck but she thought it was the way to roll!


Little Mister tries to eat his toes!
