Audubon Zoo

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.  I can't stand it. This was as far back as I could find with her and this statue at the Zoo.  

 

2008- 2 years old

2013- 6 years old

We went this past Saturday and it was the perfect Zoo day.  Not too hot with a cool breeze. She was way to cool...shades, map, cross-body purse. Oh and she would stop to put on lipstick whenever she thought about it- which could be as often as every 30 minutes or so. Lord help us...

Here's the towel Mom

I seemed to have gotten a little wet.

Feels like summer

YUM!

Squeezing baby chicks

Emerson has been attending AgMagic since she was old enough to walk.  She loves it and insists on going every year.  Denny took her and Jackson last weekend and all they seemed interested in doing is holding baby chicks.  They made a stop at City Park on the way home and got a little wet.  It all seemed like a great idea until it was time to get in the car...

 





People pay good money for this

After we finished babysitting Finley, we headed outside to help Denny with his brick project.  Emerson and Jackson were already playing outside.  Amy and the boys came over and this is where the kids ended up.  Next door on the one "house hill" left and decided the hose would be a fun addition.  Wyatt stayed the cleanest (smart kid) and the one girl of the bunch was the dirtiest.  These kids had so much fun and finally at 4:30pm I made her come in.  We had several hose off stations to at least not track mud thru my house. It took me in the shower with her and one hour to finally get the mud off of her. She had mud in places I can't begin to mention, but I must say her hair and skin were very soft for 2 days after. 

 

 

Babysitter in training

Last Saturday, we kept Finley for a few hours.  She was so good and we had fun with her. She followed Emerson around everywhere she went.  I love the pic of Finn just looking at Emerson.  Emerson was real into watching and playing with her for about the first hour and then she was done.  She saw Jackson outside and my helper was gone.

 

Another one gone

Emerson lost another tooth last weekend.  She let it just hang for too long and she finally popped it right out. The Tooth Fairy visited leaving another $2 bill in the shape of a heart. So weird to see Em without 2 front teeth.
