Back to the Zoo

So glad to get the zoo with our BFF's again! Had to put up the pic of the Orangutan's - too adorable. The baby, Mahal, was hanging on to his Mama, MJ, for dear life. The zoo is doing construction on their buildings roof, and he does not like the noise, poor little thing.

Tae Kwon Do

This is how we spend our Thursday evenings. Ava has been at it for a year now and received her classes Most Improved Award! She has advanced through White, Yellow, Orange, Red and now has a Purple Belt.

Out and about in our own backyard

We didn't have much of Spring this year, but here are a few of us out over a few chilly days.

Getting clean

these are from awhile ago (back in December or something like that, but still worth a view don't ya think?)

Pixie & Chef

Just a few from Winter. Ava's favorite Fairy is Silvermist and of course anything girly that she likes, she gets. I just need a break from all the Superhero's and Princes. Love when she likes the girly side of things. And Zac in the kitchen helping out with tacos.

a Packer Post

As much as I hate to do this, I must post this in honor of my husband, the Packers won the Superbowl and here are my kids during the game. I don't think Ava likes this Green color and would be much happier in the Blue and Orange. Zac is still too little to know better.

It was also Grandpa Jon's birthday, so Happy Birthday!

Time for a post?

How does the time get away so dang fast? We have been going and going and school is already out and summer has arrived. So what's new..... well maybe I haven't mentioned that my sweet, little Zachary is such a little stinker. He's really working on being a clown for sure. Everything is funny. Everything is a joke. Man I tell you, he is difficult to get things done with, always clowning around and stopping to crack up about something. While it is wonderful to see him so happy so much of the time, it is very, very, extremely difficult to get him to understand when he does something he shouldn't. If I put him in timeout, he laughs. If I yell he laughs. If I take it away, you got it, he laughs. So, it's a slow process. One of his latest is his new found love of drawing on walls. He has drawn on Ava's freshly painted Pink Glitz; yes we finally painted & I love it - but back to Zac. Ya, he drew some elegant figure or shape or something with BLACK marker on Ava's beautiful wall. Ugggg - ya, it took a bit but I think I got him to understand that he is only to draw on paper. Yikes, guess I'll be breaking out the pink paint once again

Anyway lots of photo's I'm not sure which to go with...making this post extra hard. This is why I really must stay on top of this, as once I get behind I'm suddenly overwhelmed and then I just continue to put it off further. It is an ugly cycle. So more to come, as I must get spring fun up and posted. Talk with you soon.
