zoo!

 tuesday, i surprised the kids with a day at the ZOO!  chris was out of town for a meeting, so i had a long day to fill (he didnt get home until close to midnight)  it was the perfect weather day.  not to cold, not to hot.  see how all 3 fit so nice in the back of my car? 

we flipped joey seat around, she will be 2 in july, and met all the requirements about 9 months ago. haha

she LOVES it, she sits and looks out the window. its awesome
and yes, she still drinks from a bottle ONLY bec she hasnt clicked the knack on how to use a sippy cup. haha

 ready to roll

 and ellies off. running, shes always running

 bears!

 super close bears!

 joey roaring like a bear trying to pet it
she has such little amount of fear, its kinda scary

we had a great day, they got along so well and again i said to nate "arnt you glad you are HOME SCHOOLED?" hahaha

 chris got me this amazing bunch of amazing smelling flowers...from home depot....the side of home depot. .hahahaha they smell SO good!

 and this is in my fridge
i told chris to get it OUT by tonight
its COWS TONGUE!

i am truly enjoying my vacation!  yesterday we stayed home and i caught up on house work, we also have new neighbor to the left of us and i was able to spent a few hours with her and her kids.  maybe a closer friendship is in the making? 

with that, my blog is updated, and i need to get supper started. yes, at 11 am. i find when im out in the afternoons, if i start or have it bbq ready when i get home, its less of a rush for me and the kids can eat before 7! hahaha

happy thursday!
