Hogle Zoo

We went to Hogle Zoo with our monthly playgroup. It was a lot of FUN! My cute sis. in-laws came along to play and were a HUGE help to all of us moms and our kiddies. Thanks L and M.

Mason LOVED the animals. He wanted to run all over like the big kids.

I think the little guy is wondering...what are all these kids looking at?

Easton loves snakes and this one is a MONSTER.

All the kids loved the turkeys. Especially Evers, he was chasing them all over.

We had a little birthday party for Evers. He turned the big 2, we sang and ate twinkies with our lunch. HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERS! We love you.

5 little monkeys

Here is the new baby Giraffe. It was so cute. It's mom came inside when all the people came in to look at it, and was very protective of the little one. It was very sweet. I loved his long eyelashed and fuzzy little horns.
Thanks for coming everyone we had a great time. See you next month.

Cute things my kids say

EASTON: woke up in middle of night saying his legs hurt. 10 minutes later he said "Mom my legs don't hurt they are better, they stopped beeping". I think they were asleep and he called it "beeping"
We went to great grandma Cloteels whom Easton ADORES! He was following her around the house and as they went downstairs he said to her " come on grandma, you can do it, be careful-don't fall, you can come all by yourself!" Once they made it to the bottom he proclaimed "Good Job grandma Clo you did all by yourself!!."
Garet is in Ohio at a show and Easton really wanted him. He came up to me and said in a sweet sad/whining voice "Mom I want daddy. I need him soo much." I said I know he will be home on Monday. Easton said "Monday? I need him. I need to hug him and hold him, kiss him and love him, mom. I neeeeed my dadddy." It was soo precious. He misses him soo much.
BARBAQUE EASTON SAYS "BARBACUTE"
Came home from feeding and working with Garet and said 'Mommy the elk tripped on me." Meaning: an elk ran him into the ground, no injuries just a few small scrapes and a face full of dirt.
I told Easton I had a delicious treat for him he said "REALLY! Oh thanks, thanks so much sweet heart" He continued to call me sweet heart the entire morning. 5/27/08

MASON: "DADADADADADADA" and shakes his little noggin back and forth in a no no no motion.
Pushes his little lips together like a pucker or kissy lips, eyes closed tightly and blows. It is soo cute.
He also screams at the top of his lungs if he thinks Easton is too close and invading his personal space. He loves him from a distance.
Bursts instantly into a screaming cry, with tears streaming down his tight little cheeks, the minute he looses sight of me. The moment I return it STOPS, all at once, and he flashes a HUGE smile and giggle. Priceless!
STICKS HIS CUTE LITTLE TOUNGUE OUT LIKE A SPEAR AND BITES ON IT. HE IS WORKING ON GETTING HIS TOP TEETH IN.
Loves to laugh! He will laugh at you if you laugh, or just laugh at you to get your attention. It is soo cute.
