Snakes!


"Snakehead Ed" was at the library this morning as part of the summer reading program. I took Ben to see the snakes and we even ran into a few friends while we were there. In order to get ready for our snake adventure, we read Verdi before we left for the library. I love this book! It's a fun story about a little python who does not want to grow up, turn green, and be slow like the older pythons. He wants to stay young so he can jump and fly through the sky.


One of the first snakes we saw.

Ben clapping for one of the snakes. At one point he was even able to touch one. He wasn't nervous about it at all.

Erin and Will came to see the snakes too!


Rebekah & her kids (Tiana, Isaiah, and Amarah) sat with us too, but I just got one picture of Isaiah.

He had a python that looked just like Verdi. It was fun to see a snake that resembled the one in the book we had just read this morning.

The last snake we saw was a boa constrictor. It was pretty big! Ed did a lot of talking in between showing the snakes. So, after a while Ben was getting pretty restless. After about 45 minutes, I decided it was probably time to get going because Ben's 2 year old attention span was worn out! We had a fun time though, so I'm glad we went to see the snakes! :)

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 ...
