Gingerbread 2!! The boys!!

This is where the boys started. I then took the mall so they could pick out their own candy for the house. This, I thought, would be easier than getting ALL the candy out and having them want to put all the candy on their house.


They did a great job!




Brayden did it all by himself.




We ran out of frosting. So, a couple of days later we made some and worked a little more on the houses. No pictures yet!

Gingerbread!!!!

We had a great time!! I made these from scratch. Bradley so lovingly told me I could just go to costco. THE NERVE!!

The End!!! For now!

To the Zoo! Or should I say the Jungle Book?

I know it's been a long time but we are still here. We went to the Zoo yesterday and had soooo much fun!
The giraffe are taller than you realize when they are up next to you!
The elephant, Hathi, gave us music lessons! It was awesome!
We went with Laura (King Louie),

Melissa,


Mowgli and Rajan, Lynn(Shanti) and Debbie.
Who's the monkey in that tree? Look close you will see two! Mowgli and King Louie!
Oh Ya! The BEARS! This was the craziest thing. First they pose,

than they get in the water and come right up to Brayden, I mean Mowgli!!!!!!! He was totally fine with it. Afraid of dogs but bears, they're great. ;)

If you can't tell he is walking under the water.

He came right up to Mowgli, on the other side of the glass, and sniffed at him!! It was soooo cool!

I think he wanted Mowgli to scratch his back. "Look Mom it's Baloo."
Than the Snow Leopards. Make that Snow Leopard. We only saw the mom.


But as we were walking out we found a few more.

Brayden, I mean Mowgli, wasn't afraid of them either.Than the BEST part. SHERE KHAN. The TIGERS!!!!!! We LOVE tigers!! TWO Shere Khan!! How exciting!! And today we got a real treat.
They were just walking around and all of the sudden they started fighting!!!! Zackery,oops Ranjan, was sleeping and with one Tiger RRRRWWWWERRRRRR Ranjan was awake! He sat straight up in the stroller. The whole thing was way cool!!!




We had a great Jungle Book day! Thank you Lynn, Debbie, Laura, and Melissa! PS Happy birthday Lynn(Shanti)!!
