zoo pics and new additions

Ok we spent some time at the zoo yesterday. We had a great time. The weather was just perfect for us to be out and about.

We also this week added two new additions to our ever growing family. We now have two water turtles... Ming-Ming and Tuck. The kids have had a blast watching them over the last few days... But I think it bothered Alexa when we bought some gold fish to feed to them. Poor thing. She wants a fish a for pet, so we had to tell her we would keep her fish far away from the turtles. :)

Hope everyone has a good week... thanks for stopping by!

Photos

Usually this is the time I would post photos from our monthly trip to the Space museum, but Alexa was sick, so we did make this months class. So here are some random photos from this last week:
Enjoy!

Busy

Well even though it has been so hot here we have managed to get out and do a few things. Just the other day I took the kids to the pet store so we could peruse the animals, while still being someplace cool. Alexa LOVED the birds, and practically begged me to get one. (The answer to that one was no, just in case you were wondering... I am not a big fan of cleaning up after birds. LOL) Of course then there was Tim... He soooo wants a turtle. We are considering it possibly for his 5th birthday, but we'll see how things go between now and Feb. Heh.
On top of that we have been trying to get things ready for our new addition. I cannot believe that the baby will be here soon. Alexa is so excited. She loves to help out. We call her a mini mom. Here are some pictures of her with her baby... we have been trying to give her a heads up on what it will be like with a new baby in the house. I actually think she is almost as excited as we are...


She is soo cute!
We are still hoping to get out of the city for a few hours tomorrow, so I am hoping to have some more stuff to post over the weekend. So make sure to check back soon! :)
