Beautiful Zoo Day!


I didn't have a plan in motion last night to visit the zoo today. I shocked myself this morning by deciding that we should go because it looked beautiful out and Ben thought it sounded fun. This was my second time taking the kiddos by myself and everything went very smoothly. We stayed a little over three hours and even grabbed some lunch there. Lucy did really well, sleeping or being content in her stroller. Near the end I put her in the carrier and she was very excited to see everything. Ben's choice for a ride today was the log ride. I had Lucy in the carrier for that and she really seemed to enjoy it. It was nice to be a little spontaneous...which is not always easy to do with a little baby. :)


Ben wanted to take a picture with his new penguin, which he named Cute. Ben has a love for penguins and was excited to introduce his new penguin to the other ones he already has at home.

 The pelicans like to hang out by the fence.
 We haven't seen the ostriches out on our other visits. This one looked like he wanted to take a bite out of someone.

I don't think we've ever taken a picture by this doghouse. I'm not sure why since we have pictures by everything else in the zoo. Ben thought we needed to add it to the zoo poses. :)

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 ...
