So Long September!

I can't believe that tomorrow is already the beginning of October. Ben and I spent the last day of this month enjoying the zoo. It closes already on October 10th, so we are trying to fit in a couple last visits.
 When we walked into the zoo, Ben asked if he could give the inflatable Bill a hug.
 A friendly peacock.
 Ben walking through the African Safari mist. It was working overtime today, so we had a hard time seeing the path!
 Pelicans
 Ben being silly. He said he put his hat on backwards just like daddy does.
 Lions: Ina & Bill
 Ben wanted me to take a picture of him pretending to sleep in the tent. What a goof! :)
 Leopard
 Playing in the eggs.
 Ben rode the pony Candy today. He always rides on Sadie, but she had the day off. (Only about 1/2 the ponies were there. I guess they don't bring them all out as it gets closer to zoo closing time.)
 Ben found a little caterpillar and we watched him crawl around for a while.
 Choo! Choo! We took advantage of the last day of $1 rides and rode the train.
Last stop...brushing the goats.

Hugs to all,

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 ...
