Cincinnati Zooboo Fun

Today we had a blast at Cincinnati Zoo...ZooBoo!
Kaylee was a beautiful butterfly and Kyle a lil dragon....my word were they cute!
Kaylee got her a little candy and Kyle even got him a lil bag!
This time the animals weren't all that active but we still had a blast and loved going.
For the first time we did the Cheetah Run...AWESOME is what it was! First we saw a 15wk old baby cheetah...my goodness was it cute! Then we got to see the two adults race around the yard area after a toy..it was so neat to see how fast they are and to get a glimpse in person at what they can do! Kaylee LOVED LOVED LOVED it and even volunteered to be the runner...you know what the cheetah would chase! hahaha They of course we totally kidding when asking for help but Kaylee was totally willing to get out there! So cute!

Weeks ago Kaylee mentioned she would love a surprise birthday party...so that's what she got! So with lots of help we pulled it off...a pony, crafts, games, lots of playing and friends....pizza, cake and presents....2hrs of FUN!!
The day went perfect and most of all the kids had a BLAST!!!
We were super lucky Missy was able to bring Precious...her miniature pony! Kaylee was in HEAVEN all day with Precious, she walked her all of the yard and rode her who knows how many times! Afterwards we did pin the tale on the donkey, then made foam picture frames for all the kids to take home! Followed by cake and presents....and LOTS of running around with those awesome smiles! Two of the fast hours ever I think!

We could not have ask for a more perfect and special 6th birthday for OUR perfect and special little Kaylee!

Russel Farms Field Trip

Today was Kaylee first field trip and bus ride!
I got to go too and loved volunteering. It was me, Kaylee and Bailey...inour little group!
Now the weather was too cooperative today but we still got to go and have some fun!
We went on a hayride, saw some of the animals and learn how the equipment on the farm works! Due to the lighting we had to leave a little early so we didn't get to do our craft but still got our pumpkins! Then back to school we went and I had lunch with my gal!

I absolutely LOVE being able to go on field trips and volunteer in class....this is all a dream come true for mommy!

Today we did our yearly trip on Kaylee's birthday to Stoney Creek Farms! We picked her up from school at 12:30..it is her birthday! Heading home first for a little doggie cake and then off we went for a day of birthday fun
We went on the hayride to the pumpkin patch and Kaylee picked out the best pumpkin! We all played on the big haystack,played in the blow up caterpillar and fed the animals.

After that fun we headed to Snapperz! Kaylee loved playing the games,playing the the bounce houses and slides and climbing around the huge climb toy!

We ended the day with presents and she loved it! She got her #1 pick which was a dream light...goodness was she happy when she opened it!

Happy 10 Months

Wow our little man is 10 months old today.....and quite the little guy he is!
Kyle is quite the little funny guy, loves to be scared and gets a kick out of it! He adores his sister more and more every day..his face just lights up when she gets home or when he sees her after waking up. We love his smile and that cute laugh..my goodness what a feeling it gives your heart! I love when he gets really sleepy now he'll lay his head on our shoulder. And the look he gives when told "no" is funny...he just looks like "really you won't stop me" and "look how cute I am"

Wow the milestones that Kyle hit the past month...he's been a busy boy.
He's crawling, sitting himself up, pulling up on everything, standing in his crib, eating some big boy foods and what a head full of cute hair he has!!
Food - 6oz every 3-4hrs still..most 3hrs! He likes oatmeal with applesauce, stage 3 baby food and still some 2's! He loves graham crackers,baby cookies and cheerios! He is quite the wild eater though....its quite a task to hold him and feed him his bottle...he's wild! hahaha
Sleep - He is sleeping pretty good! Some nights are quite off but we have made lots of progress! However now when he gets up we let him cry and calm himself...and he does!
