A Great day at the Zoo!

Yesterday Tyler and I went to the zoo with our friends, Brittany, Christopher, Chad and Seth. We found out after we had planed to go that there was going to be snow at the zoo. We left early in the morning and didn't get back until late afternoon. We got to see everything thanks to Tyler keeping us on schedule. He would say I want to see the monkeys and as soon as we came to a monkey he said ok more, come on everybody! We got to see them feeding a tiger and Tyler thought it was really cool. The kids loved playing in the snow except for Seth. We got to rid the carousel twice and Tyler wanted to rid the alligator like always but there is no alligator on this carousel, usually he throws a fit and sits on the bench but this time he wanted to ride the snake and then the turtle. When we were about to leave we went and rode the train around the park, the kids love it and get so excited. Tyler said his favorite thing was the spider and the bats.

Holidays are here!

December is going by fast! We have had tons of activities to keep us busy. This year for Hanukkah Tyler understood it a little better than last year. When daddy was lighting the candles and saying the pray, Tyler would try to say it with him, it was so cute. After the prayer every night Tyler would Scream Happy Hanukkah!!! He loved opening his presents and wanted to play them the second he opened them. He got spiderman matching game, candy land, shoots and ladders, Mickey's fishing game, Diego Dino wii game, Diego underwear, spiderman walkie talkies, cheetah stuffed animal and book to go with it and a chameleon stuffed animal and book to go with it. His favorite present was the Diego Dino wii game. He had so much fun playing it. It was the first time he ever played the wii and I didn't know how it was going to go but he did great! And you have to jump, run and roll around so he was burning energy :) He also loves his new stuffed animals and carries them around everywhere. He calls the cheetah baby Jaguar and calls the chameleon lizard. We also decorated Hanukkah cookies or should say Tyler ate the frosting while the cookies were in front of him. Then a few days later we had a playgroup cookie decorating and he actual got some frosting on the cookies:)

We had our annual Holiday playgroup party with families. Genevieve was kind enough to host again this year(even with a new born!) and we had so much fun! The kids went crazy and the parents got to catch up and enjoy yummy food.

Snow in Houston

A couple of days ago it actually snowed here! I thought that there wouldn't be enough to really see it but there was a couple of inches, enough to make a little snow man! He thought it was a lot of fun to kick down the snowman. Tyler loved the snow and throwing snow balls at mommy

Food for the people

When we were at Yia Yia and Papa's house their neighbors came by and asked for canned goods for a fundraiser they were having at school. Yia Yia told Tyler to come help and of course Tyler was super excited to help. He grabbed the cans and put them in the bag. After they left Tyler asked for more people to come. We had told him earlier that John and Jocelyn(Yia Yia and Papa's friends) were coming over to say hi to him. When they arrived he said hi and then ran to the pantry to get some cans of food. He handed them the food and we took it back. But he kept getting them more food, it was too cute and too funny!

Ice Skating with Yia Yia

When we went to Kansas Yia Yia took Tyler ice skating for the first time and he did so good. I was so impressed he was doing better then some of the older kids. The first time around he wanted to hold Yia Yia's hand and then once he got the hang of it he wanted to do it all by himself(holding on to the railing). Towards the end he was going from the rail to Yia Yia all by himself! I asked him what his favorite part was and of course he said falling down!!! He thought it was so funny when he fell and kept falling on purpose.

Playdate with Avery and Hannah

This is what happens when Tyler has a playdate with two girls....

We're Pregnant!

I know Most of you already know because I can't keep it a secrect but I just relizeded I never bloged about it. On My birthday, October 15th I had a doctors appointment. And the doctor confirmed that I was pregnat 5 weeks and 6 days! Here is a picture of the baby(very small)

Now I am 13 weeks pregnant and feeling great! I had a few days of feeling sick but for the most part I felt good. All I can think of now is if we are going to have a baby girl or a baby boy. Of course we will be happy we either. Most of you know I can't do surprises so it's all I think about :)
