Giraffes and Monkeys and Goats...Oh My!

Curt's parents came from Cadillac last night to stay for a little visit. They got to go see Curt play softball last night and today we took a trip to the zoo. We showed them all of Ben's favorite animals. He loves to feed the giraffes and brush the goats. Someone (named Ben) was a little cranky at the zoo. He wants to be free from his stroller to run wherever he feels like going. I let him have a few moments of freedom, but he was not a happy camper when it was time to get back in his stroller.

Standing by the sea lion tank. Ben was excited to stand on the ledge and be out of his stroller. :)

Ben with his Grandpa and Grandma Walker. I tried several times to get a picture of them all together, but Ben was not cooperative. This one has a finger in the mouth, but it was best one I could get.


We finished up the zoo day with the goats. Ben loves to brush the goats. The goats used to make him a little nervous, but now he just runs around chasing them with a brush. :)
We had a great morning with Curt's parents and we even stopped at the mall food court for some Chick-fil-a for lunch. Yum! Thanks for coming to visit!!! :)

It was fun to catch up on your blog today, and all the fun things you've been doing. We really enjoyed our time at your house, watching Curt play softball, and going to the zoo & out for lunch with you and Ben. Our visit was short, but very sweet! It was great to be with you! Thank you for a wonderful visit.
Love & Hugs,

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
