24 Hours of Fun!

Our friends, the Bairds, came down to Fort Wayne for a visit from Friday night-Saturday night. It was a quick trip, but we packed in a lot of fun! On Saturday morning, Rachel and I took the three boys to the zoo while the guys went golfing. It was a beautiful morning for the zoo, although it got pretty hot out by the end of our visit. There are many zoo pictures...sorry for the overload! After the boys got up from their naps, we went to the mall and had a variety of dinners from the food court. Then we played in the backyard until it was time for them to leave. Thanks for coming! We had a great time! :)  

Jackson, Ben, and Luke in the back of the Jeep ready to head to the zoo. I've never had that many car seats back there. Ben thought it was so cool to sit between his friends.

Ben wanted to feed the giraffe and a volunteer helped him squeeze all of the lettuce through the fence.

Luke eating a granola bar while playing the drum...that takes skill!

Ben, Jackson, and Luke on the orangutan statue. It was surprisingly empty when we walked by it.

We all went for a ride on the train. Ben usually wants to get off of it before the ride was over, but he did great the whole time.

Our final stop...petting the goats.

After dinner at the mall, we let the kids go on a ride. Ben wanted to ride in the blue convertible.

Luke joined Ben for the end of the car ride.

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 ...
