Bunny Love...

Last weekend we went to a friend's "petting zoo" birthday party. M was so excited, she could not wait to pet the animals. She was one of the first kids in the animal pen and the last one to leave. As usual she was loving the bunnies, especially the baby bunnies.





C on the other hand was not so impressed with the animals.



The owners were really nice and so were all the animals. There had to have been at least 20 kids in the animal pen and the animals were all well behaved(kids included). There was a llama, baby jersey cow, little pig, several goats, chickens, baby chickens, ducks, and bunnies, lots of bunnies.

Guess Who Has A Green Thumb...

A couple of months ago Mike took M to Home Depot with him to pick some stuff up. They were gone quite a while. When they came home, M ran though the door all excited saying "Mommy look what Daddy bought me!" shaking stuff in her hand. Of course I am thinking great he let her pick out more Disney paint swatches for me to throw out when she is not looking; but oh no... he bought her flower seeds to plant in pots in Arizona in July! Nothing grows in Arizona in summer, let alone in pots! Well Mike got the dirt out and M and him had a good time planting (wish I had pictures of that). Well about a month and half later and a lot of water by Mike, Esie, N, and M, tada we have sunflowers! She was so excited! We told her that she had a green thumb and she looked a little nervous like it was a disease, pretty funny. Once Mike told her what it meant she kept telling everyone that she had a green thumb. Too cute!

Unfortunately her Daddy does not have a green thumb, so I really had to crop the pictures to cut out the backyard! Maybe M can teach Daddy a couple pointers this fall!

New Furniture...

Or at least that is how big C's birthday gift is. We bought him a Step 2 Climber for his first birhtday. We thought it was a little big for him, but knew he would grow into it. What we did not realize was how quickly he would grow into it! With in one week he had master the stairs and the slide thanks to his big sister, who absolutely loves it too! Yes, we are well aware that climbers are meant to be used outside, however in Arizona when summer lasts at least 6 months these things are great inside too!







Yes, it is big enough for Aunt Esie to camp in the bottom fort!
