Petting Zoo!

Yesterday I went with my friend Rachel and her 2 little boys to the farm/petting zoo at Thanksgiving Point. Paris and Savannah loved all the animals! The first animal we saw when we walked in was an alpaca and Paris loved it...she stood there and kept touching him for about 15 minutes and kept saying "Doggie!" with a big smile on her face....and kept saying "doggie" everytime we saw a new animal. She is only 16 months old though...so I guess we'll just let it go for now! She had absolutely no fear of any of the animals-she stuck her finger through the fence where the ducks were and got her finger bitten. I thought she would scream but she just kinda looked at her finger and then looked back at the duck with a scowl on her face and then walked away! Both girls got to go on a little pony ride while we were there and loved it!

Daddy/Daughter Date

Last night Bubba took Savannah on a date to see Disney Princesses on Ice with some of his co-workers and their little girls. Savannah really doesn't know much about any of the Disney characters and has never really sat still for that long so I was a little concerned about how she was going to do, but she loved it! Bubba said that when the show first started she was so excited and had the biggest smile ever on her face! By the end of it she was getting a little restless, but overall she had a great time and has been talking about it all day. She keeps talking about how she saw a dragon, a crab, a monkey and Mickey Mouse....so pretty much everything except for the princesses!
Paris just got to stay home with me, but it was so sad because she kept walking around the house saying "Nana" (that's what she calls Savannah) and couldn't figure out why she couldn't find her!

We love Spring!

I am so excited that the weather has been so nice outside lately....my kids are just so much happier when they can play outside! We should be getting our fence up in the next couple of weeks which I am sooooo excited about...it will be so nice for the kids to have a safe, enclosed place to play in. We got them a sandbox and set it up this weekend....they love it! We may end up having to put new sand in every couple of weeks at the rate that Paris was dumping it everywhere, but it is well worth it! We've been going to the park a lot lately too and the kids love all the swings and slides....hopefully it continues to be fun for the next few months since I'm hoping we can spend a lot of time there!

My Brave...and Awesome Husband!

A few weeks ago, I found out that one of my old roommates and good friends from Ricks was going to be having her first baby shower this past weekend. I had not seen Sarah for almost 5 years and at first didn't even think that I would be able to go since it was in Portland, OR. I mentioned it to Bubba and he said that he would watch the kids for the weekend so that I could go. So I got a flight to Portland last Friday and spent 3 wonderful relaxing days there catching up with Sarah, making baby shower preparations, and helping her organize all of her baby stuff. It was so nice to see her again and get such a long break! The kids had a great time with Bubba and stayed super busy that weekend....he did a wonderful job of taking care of them, and the house was spotless when I got home too....what a STUD!!!!! Thanks again babe!

Kyle and Shallan's Wedding

Last Friday (the 15th), Bubba's stepbrother Kyle got married and it was a great day! Everything was beautiful and the weather even cooperated...we had a wonderful time being with family and celebrating! Savannah was really sick that day and didn't move at all...so I don't think she really had a great time but she acted good and she looked really cute! Bubba and his cousin Adrian sang a couple of songs at the reception and did a wonderful job. We were all exhausted by the end of the day, but we had a great time! Congratulations Kyle and Shallan!

My New Addiction!

So I've been trying to find a new hobby and I think I've finally found it! I've always liked scrapbooking, but it takes up so much space and it's such a mess to have everything laying out all the time. Not to mention that all the fancy little decorations are kinda pricey....anyways, I've had a hard time getting motivated to scrapbook, which explains why the last page I have scrapbooked is when Savannah was about 2 weeks old! I heard someone mention digital scrapbooking a while back, so I've been doing some research and finally decided to get started. I downloaded my trial version of Photoshop Elements and have been trying to figure it out since I've never used it before. I have spent hours finding free "kits" online and it is so addictive! So I've now done 3 layouts since I started this whole process on Saturday, so I thought I'd share. I'm not really that good yet since I don't know anything beyond the basics, but I'm pretty excited at how my pages are turning out!

Bubbles are fun!

Lately the girls have been taking their baths in our bathtub since it is a lot bigger and the jets make lots and lots and lots of bubbles! I decided to break in our new camera tonight while they were in the tub and took dozens of pictures...so here are tons of pics of Savannah and Paris in the bubbles!
