And this is why 3 year olds don't drive!

Today we walked on the wild side, well we drove on the wild side.

This time we got to feed the giraffes!! 

While I was busy feeding the giraffes in the front, Caroline was in the back getting her fingers bitten by a zebra!!  The zebra thought her cute little fingers were food, especially since she shoved them in his mouth.  Poor thing, she didn't let me forget it the whole way home,"Mama, zebra, bite, fingers, oowwwowwwo, that hurt fingers, zebra!"

Gramps was brave and let the kids drive in his lap, and he let Ryan really steer, well as much as you can let a 3 year old drive!

ya' think they enjoyed driving?

aren't they cute while they are holding still?

Ryan had fun feeding the wild life, especially the slobbery part!

 Love the tongue picture!

and basically my kids are fearless!  I am excited, because I am going to roll today's purchase into a membership, so we can go whenever we like!

It was a great day!!  Thanks Gramps for going with us! The noise is a lot, Caroline cried,whined, babbled, laughed, cried, and whined some more the whole way home and promptly fell asleep the moment her head hit her pillow at 6:25, since she didn't nap all day!!!

Some things Ryan has said lately.......

after his soccer game the other day we asked Ryan where he wanted to go for lunch and he enthusiastically responded,"POTBELLIES BY TCU!!!!" this Potbellies is nowhere near his soccer fields, and there is one way closer but he wasn't having it.
Gramps picked Ry up and asked him why he wanted to go to that Potbellies, to which Ryan replied,"Gramps, because the girls like me there!!" With a HUGE smile on his face!

TCU is the local college, and we usually go during lunch time when all the cute, blond, tan, co-eds are there.



The other day the kids were in the bath playing in their own little corners, Ryan looks up at me and asks,"Mom, why does my wiener have a bone in it?"  yep you guessed it, he had one!! YIKES, well I didn't really have an answer for that one, so he quickly replied,"It's okay mom, everyone's wieners stick up every once in a while!" 

One of my naughty little monkeys apparently doesn't like apple skins!!  I find these half eaten ALL OVER the house!!  This same naughty little monkey has given up her BINKY!!! And even better news she finally took a nap today after a week and a half with no naps!!  Now if I can get rid of the sippy cup at bedtime, oh and potty train!!! Nuthin' big!!

(and don't mind the dust, sorry)

Who do you think this is???

Look at this chubby cheeked baby, or is that my first born??? 

Well I am pretty sure it's Ryan since those are his PJ's, and that naughty monkey must have gotten ahold of my camera!!  But I really had to look at this picture to figure out who it was!!

Today was cause for celebration

Today was a great day, Ryan had a great time at church, which is such a relief (we have STRUGGLED since the switch to primary).  He was a happy boy, a happy boy that needs some serious church clothes!!!

 So as part of our celebration we went and got ice cream, I know it's Sunday but this deserved an exception!!

While there some firemen came to have dinner, the kids were perfect and as cute as can be(who wouldn't be with an ice cream cone) and when we got up to leave one of the firemen offered to let the kids climb in the truck!!  Ryan was in heaven and his grin was from ear to ear!!!!

 Those are his CRAZY sleepy eyes(when he is sleepy his eyes get all crazy, and glassy)this was at about 6:20, so he was ready for bed!

 SO EXCITED!

I didn't intend on buying Ryan's school pictures, but these are the best I have seen in a long time, and he is holding still, so that is a plus!

Serious binge blogging, take a look see!

My LITTLE DIRT BALLS

 They are both smiling the exact same way, with one squinty eye

 This pic makes me laugh!

 Those eyes, those eyes!!!

 Getting stripped outside for their bath!

 Can you believe this is the same girl from yesterday who had a 104 degree temp most of the day????

 

and that my friends is how the mud was applied!! nice and neat with a wash cloth!

Another day at the zoo......

Love this pic, she is watching the river otters!

I found a great on Groupon the other day for registration and first months class for $40($165 savings) at Little Gym, it was just the deal I had been looking for!!  We haven't been enrolled in gymnastics for a while and Ryan was itching to go back, but I didn't want a competitive gym, so this was the perfect fit!!

The girl wants THREE binkies at ALL times

at the zoo with Mimi!

 This is Layla the new baby Bonobo-sooo cute!

 "The Thinker"

We have had some beautiful weather lately, and the kids wanted to enjoy the weather and watch a movie!  Well children, your wish is my command! Hahaha

look at those smooshy cheeks!!  She is totally into the movie Cars right now, it totally cracks me up!

This boy can make a horse out of anything!
