Zoo Trip 2011






We had another fun trip up to the Henry Doorly Zoo this year. Again, the kids really wanted to run and climb more than spend time looking at the animals. However, when I asked Aunalie what animals she saw at the zoo, she says, "Monkeys! Hit the window!" When we were looking at the gorillas, the big daddy gorilla came over and hit the window. It made me jump back, but of course Aunalie just stood there looking. She did eventually say, "hold me."

Noah Turns 4


Noah had a GREAT 4th birthday with too many presents, sugar and lots of love and family! For his birthday cake, he never quite told me what he wanted, so I made him a cake of all the things he loves (and I made it blue because that's his favorite color). I also tried my hand at making Fondant for the frosting. It wasn't too hard and actually was kind of fun! (I might be addicted to the food network) Noah, of course, loved it and I will add that the stuff that I made (the blue fondant) tasted better than the other store-bought stuff and was a LOT cheaper. Plus, I had so much left over that I used it to make some blue "N's" to put on sugar cookies that he could take to preschool. Overall, I think his birthday weekend was a success. Shawn and I got him his first bike and he loves riding it, still... but he won't ride it very far, yet. We also gave him some scotch tape, as you can see, and he is using it very wisely *insert sarcastic tone here*. Ah well, he loves tape AND scissors. I guess those two go hand in hand. ha ha!

Roca Berry Farm 2010

This is at the end of the day... the kids were enjoying sitting and eating an apple... (and spacing out!)
"More cotton candy, please!" Daddy was hoarding it. Ha ha! Just kidding.


Roca never disappoints. We had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa Wiedel! Could not have been a more beautiful day.

The Trip to the Real Zoo





Besides it being so busy on a Thursday, it was perfect weather and we had a GREAT time on our annual trip to the Henry Doorly Zoo. Noah really was interested this year! He was probably pooped, but he cried all the way to the van because he didn't want to go. But as soon as he got in his chair and we were on the road, he was asleep. Aunalie really liked the animals too, but she fell asleep in the gorillas. Overall, it was pretty darn fun!
