Road Trip Part 1

Boo was a real trooper! This was in Wyoming.


This was at a rest stop in Wyoming.


They were so used to being fed, they would come right up to your hand!(Don't worry, we washed our hands afterwards!)


This was the first park we found and the best! It was in Burlington, CO.


Bubbie approved too!



I have managed to leave my camera in the car! Daddy takes our car to work, so I'm sorry to say that I won't be able to share all of our photos, but I will give you what I have to share!

So as many of you know, we were on vacation for nearly two weeks and I have not posted in all of that time due to little computer time. We went to Seattle to visit my sister(Aunt T) and BIL(Uncle R) as well as their kiddos, J and E. E graduated from High School on June 6 and we were there to witness the big event! We hit some of the tour spots in Seattle as well as we drove there. It took us about two and half days drive there and back, so many of our photos are of our drive up and later I'll share graduation and drive home photos. There are a few videos as well, enjoy!


This is video of Bubbie chasing some of the Prairie Dogs, LOL! The second video is a little sampling of how Bubbie and Boo kept each other entertained. This was one of the better things that they did, at one point it came down to having a screaming match between them. That didn't last long, I put a stop to that by bribing them with ice cream. Sometimes its just about what works!

My New Love!

My new Vera Bradley purse! This was my early Birthday present. I absolutely LOVE IT!

This will probably be my last post until after our vacation in Seattle, WA. We will be leaving this weekend and getting back around the 9th of June! So there will be plenty of pictures and stories to share, I am sure. Until then take some time to look over some photos if you haven't already or if you are feeling a little nostalgic! I know I do sometimes. Hasta Luego!!

Catching Up

Bubbie helping Daddy to water our sad little garden.


Hopefully next year we can make it a great garden!

This Memorial Day weekend, we spent at my Parent's house. We headed up Saturday and on Sunday we all went to Kansas City. We first went to Oak Park Mall and then onto the Plaza. It was a bit hectic being that we lacked communication and planning, but we all still had some fun! Yesterday we went to visit my Grandpa's grave sight and left some of my Mom's beautiful flowers for him and then we headed for home. It was nice to see my Grandpa's grave, being that I hadn't seen it since his funeral over 3 years ago. Time really does fly, especially when you add having kids in the mix.

Speaking of that, while we were at my Parent's house, Boo decided to start WALKING!!

Just in case you missed it, here is a short video!

She is officially a toddler now, so sad! Boo hoo!

Distractions

These wrap up my work on some that I've been working on for a friend. I made her two 5" bows and 4 pairs of 3-3.5" bows! Her daughters shall have some fun with those, I hope they like them!


These are some that I've made to match a couple of Boo's dresses that she received for her birthday. They turned out really well. I'll post pictures of them with the dresses later!




As you can see, all my free time has been spent working on my reCreations. This weekend though, I will be taking a little break while we visit my Parent's. Hope you enjoy and I'll will be back after our Holiday weekend, if not sooner!

The Weekend Hullaballoo! Part 2

The Male Tiger


Boo checking out the Tigers


Female Tigers, there were actually two, but the picture I got of the two together, one Tiger was licking her boody, so I decided to not post that picture.


Bubbie checking out the Tigers


This is the Tiger's prey. Obviously in a different exhibit, but that is what they call the exhibit.

As I posted in the last blog, these are our photos from our sneak peak of the new Tiger Exhibit. It was a really neat exhibit and we had fun, even if we had to wait half and hour in line to get in. Totally worth it!

The Weekend Hullaballoo! Part 1

Bubbie checking out one of his favorite animals at the Zoo, Penguins!


Don't wake the sleeping bears, rawrrr!


Had to take a picture, to prove that there really are Mexican Wolves at the Zoo. Though this is the first time we have actually seen them.


Bubbie in astonishment of what we are seeing.

There are so many photos to share from this last Sunday, that I am going to have to break it up into two posts. We met up at the Zoo with Grandmom, Aunt TF Aunt M&M to go to the sneak preview of the new Tiger Exhibit! More on that in the next post.

After we visited the Tigers, we met up with some friends from back in the day and they now have a six month old boy. These particular photos are from our walking around. Bubbie had to stop and see every single animal along the way. There was no skipping for him, he was not having it. Its so fun watching how observant he is of the animals now. After the Zoo, we went to to a Meet and Greet Picnic with my SAHM's group and had a lot of fun, but ended up having to leave a little early because Bubbie had not had a nap that day and it was beginning to show. We arrived home sometime around 7:30pm and gave the kids a bath and they were both in bed by 8:00pm. They both also slept until 9:00 this morning, which was very nice for me!

Oh and don't think I could do a post without showing you some more of my reCreations!!





This video was taken on Thursday. Boo had actually walked a few steps from our automan to the back door, so afterwards we were doing everything we could to get her to do it again, enjoy!

Not Me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

What have I NOT been doing this week? Well it was NOT ME that has completely abandoned the laundry this week, nope, NOT I. I would never do that! I would never wash a bunch of laundry only to let it collect on the sofa and then proceed to dig through the laundry to get the kids dressed. Nope, NOT ME! I'm entirely too organized for that.

It also was NOT ME that decided that Bar-B-Q potato chips would suffice for lunch today, being that it was NOT I that let the grocery shopping go by the way side this last week. I would never allow potato chips in this house, much less as a meal, NOT ME!

Its also NOT been me that has completely let the house cleaning get off track, as I work on my new hobby of making hair bows. I would NEVER let a hobby take over my responsibilities, NOT ME! It's also NOT ME, that can't remember when the last time I vacuumed the house. Nope, NOT ME, I vacuum every day!
