Earth day at the Zoo & more fun.

Heidi loves her 'hippo' spoon. She won't part with it. She kept it in her mouth while looking at her books. It looks like she has a cigar or pipe in her mouth while she sits and reads. Silly girl. (See the video at the end)

Clear the runway!

Swinging!

First the mustang and now daddy's truck.

Oooh, the box fell on top of me and I went through the window!

At the Zoo and we started at the Pelican Pier to feed ducks & a few pelicans.

Mommy and Heidi in the back corner feeding the new baby goats.

BIG kitty!

Heidi didn't want to leave the lion cage. She was holding on tight. She likes the kitty's.

Always wanting to walk, there's no slowing down for her.

"My what big teeth you have!"

Leaving the zoo with her balloon. :)

Loving her giant bear!

There's a big smile!

Laundry day. I went to put some laundry away and when I came back to the laundry room, there was the fat cat. I really needed a good laugh after a very long day of cleaning. Silly animals.

Heidi loves to play "knock, knock." She loves to open and close doors. This is her favorite game. She takes off from us to come and tickle her and if she makes into a open room, you can hear a door slightly close. She's so funny. It's such a joy to see her show her emotions of what she needs or wants. Even when she's upset, I can now know what she wants, most of the time. I can hear her babbles and know or can hear a certain babble for her ducky, kitty, or her mommy or daddy. But she does say "ma, ma, or mommy, and daddy" pretty clear.

Happy Easter!

Don't leave baby alone for even two minutes with oatmeal in reach. Not good.

Heidi loves to hug the kitty.

Ooooh, aaaah, bunny.

The "Big Kid" (brian) easter basket.

I liked this picture of victoria. so pretty laying in the sun.

We had a nice easter. Heidi's new tooth was really bugging her and she was a little fussy and not sleeping well. But she still had some fun with her new books and toys. She loves to give her bunny hugs and to play with it. She likes to grab the bunny and bounce it up and down just like when we tell her the bunny "bounces, up and down, or bouncy, bouncy." She loves it. I had cleaned the entire the living room of her toys so she would see her basket in the morning. When she woke up and we walked to the living room together she pointed and went "oooooh!!" She did a little scream and I was laughing so hard. I didn't think she would notice or care that much. But she had fun digging in the basket at the new toys. The easter bunny left her some Little People characters and they were in large eggs for her to open to find them. Heid also got some books, new bath toys, and a bunny stuffed animal. And many, many easter eggs to throw at the kitty or mommy. Victoria even likes to bat around the easter eggs around the kitchen floor. So everyone had some fun! Brian even got a easter basket full of star wars stickers, a space shuttle toy, favorite candy bars of his;butterfinger's, Sherlock Holmes movie, and a sheep egg (he never liked sheep from growing up on the farm, so a long running joke I play on him). After our easter basket fun, I started a nice dinner I wanted to make for our first easter as a family. I decided to make some BBQ ribs in the slow cooker, coleslaw, fried potatos, and a two layer chocolate cake for dessert. The ribs recipe was very good and I will try to remember to get it posted soon. Such a great flavor and the chocolate cake was to die for. What a great relaxing day with great food.
