Waco Zoo

Did you know that Waco had a zoo?

No? Me either.
The Daddy took the babies to meet up with friends at Cameron Park on Sunday.

From the looks of it, I think they had a great time :-)

All the way to Waco to see alligators, lol

Such a lady, riding side saddle...well, sort of

He looks like the horse is sprinting away

 

 

Emmy and Reed checking out the fish

So, I asked Emily what her favorite animal was; to which she promptly responded "the rhinoceros".
Crazy mom here asked thoughtfully if it was because of it's horn.
"No! He went peepee lots!!"
Evidently, that made these kiddos' day and the rest of the afternoon was spent talking about butts, pee, and poop.

Some random Wessy pics:

Cheeeeeeeeeese!

Could you spare a square?

Pudding

Chocolate Bliss

Forget the spoon

Wow

Aaaaaaand the only pic I could get of Emmy

Hearts!

Happy Valentine's Day from our Love Bugs!

We celebrated today by partying with friends at school!

V Day 3 Year Old Style:

Emmy enjoying the heart shaped gourmet sandwiches Mommy made

Digging for candy

Eating Candy

Posing in the "Photo Booth"
Cutest idea EVER

And then the Fireman walked in...
Poor Mr. Jeremy. 

Meanwhile, in the 1 year old room...

 

Cutie Pie

Sweet Valentine

NOT a fan of the fruit appetizers.
Bubby decorated a sugar cookie and managed to get icing everywhere!
I found icing behind his ear!!

Ladies, He Does Laundry!

Someone discovered how fun the laundry basket can be

My bubby <3

He loves "helping" me with the laundry
Notice the clothes on the floor beside the basket.

My favorite!!
Trying to put a sock on.
Look at that fierce concentration!!

 

She Only Loves Me For My Chocolate

 

Checked out the chocolate covered strawberries at HEB yesterday...5 for $5.95.

Are you kidding me?! 

For just about the same price, I made 2 dozen.

Emily was super excited, wrapped her arms around me and proclaimed that I "make the best food" and that she loves me so much. 

I know it was chocolate lust, but I don't care. ;-)

PS: Realized that she has been eating the WHOLE strawberry, foliage and all!
Do the greens count as veggies??

LMFAO

No Longer Street Urchins

The Daddy has been pressing me to get Bubby's hair cut for some time. I trimmed his baby tail months ago, but there is something sad about a baby's first haircut. I don't know why, don't ask.
But, I noticed as I was brushing Emmy's hair this morning, that her bangs were ridiculously long...and I had been toying with the idea of getting it chopped off because, truthfully, I can't stand the whining every morning and battle when it comes time to brush and fix the hair..


Funny how much older, and like a little man he looks and she looks much younger. Oh, and the haircut came with nail polish, glitter, rings and balloons.

Emily's Turn

With all the recent celebration for Weston's Liveration Day, it seems that poor Emmy has been left of out the blogging.

It's not intentional, but I like to post pics with the entries, and she is a hard one to snap pics of...

What I got when I told her I wanted to take her picture

Profile, taken while she was distracted with tv

 Let's see...what has she been up to:

1. When we went to Chuck E Cheese last Saturday, my black light-child abduction prevention stamp evidently didn't register and some little girl REFUSED to vouch for me and denied knowing me when we were trying to leave. 

Ugh, what a butt!

I was just about to pull out the arsenal of photos in my wallet/phone, insurance cards, etc when The Daddy saved his baby girl from the potential Emmy Snatcher.

2. We've been a little flip and sassier than normal, these days. Her school has been teaching the kids to communicate their feelings instead of just acting out. Sometimes it is HILARIOUS.

Emmy's response to mommy closing the gate, thus exiling her from the kitchen

"I...DON'T...LIKE...THIS...BABY...GATE! It makes me bitter!"

Bitter is a pretty complex emotion. I was impressed.

3. Firemen. Not a fan. Ever since they came to class in full gear (helmet, mask, etc) she has been terrified of them. Specifically, the mask. So much so, that she FREAKED out when they had a fire alarm at school and had to evacuate AND saw the fireman.

Well, this week they are studying fire safety.
And,when you have a fireman daddy in the class, you get to have special presentations.
We have been dreading this all week.
Evidently, when they showed up and were explaining the gear, and the mask came out, she went nuts and ran to the next classroom for safety. :-(
Only after much coaxing and reassuring, did she actually get into the fire truck and watch them spray the hose.

Poor baby girl.

Emily and "Brock's Daddy"

 She's a mess, I tell you.

But we love her.
