zoo, first trip of the year
We love, love our STL Zoo. It has a ton of great animals, tons of things to see and learn and it is free! Plus we are zoo members so we get ea few extra perks - free parking, free train rides and free carousel rides. Every year the kids pick a *new* favorite animal. Some fav's of the past are: giraffe, giraffe, hippo, hippo, lion/big cats. This year it is the elephant. We had to stay and watch them for an extended amount of time. There were 2 babies this year, and they were playing by spraying water on each other. In a brief admission of my nerdiness - i always dress the kids in an animal shirt when we go. i can't help myself!! this year is a monkey for amelia and a elephant for lucas! We has a few challenges while trying to get to the zoo (car mysteriously broke down, AC in house wouldn't come on. etc) but we made it and had a grand time! Maybe next time you can join us :)
Lucas is all about trains right now, so we had to ride the train! he loved it!

a day to celebrate
on 5/15/2011 we reached a milestone. Lucas had been seizure free for one year!! We were so excited to reach this first for him. While we will never forget the week spent trying to diagnosis him and control the seizures, we are thankful they are controllable, the medicine works and Lucas is growing and thriving. We had a little celebration for him with our family and friends. congratulations sweet boy, we love you!!!

Friday fun and PSA
Lucas has tumbling on Friday mornings. I take the back roads through the "country" part of our town to get to his classes. Usually the cows are out by the road grazing. if we have time we stop and open the van doors and talk to them. That entails Amelia saying "mooo, moo, mooooooo, moooo" etc. She thinks she speaks cow i guess. Lucas then starts up with "mooo cow, moooooo cow, moo cow" etc. That makes Amelia continuously tell Lucas that it is not "moo cow" just "moo" and to stop saying "moo cow". Lucas ignores her and continues to say "moo cow", which makes me giggle! they are so funny! here are the cows/moo cows in action!
move it now mister!
my favorite baby! how cute is he?!?!

a cow college

On to the PSA part. How sad that these cows are subjected to your litter. Amelia was quite upset that these momma cows and their babies had to eat around your water bottle and Gatorade bottle. She kept asking me to get out of the van and go pick this up! if a four yr old can find the trash can, so can you! otherwise,
Please Keep your trash in your car!
Our new neighbors!
we have received SO much rain lately that these 2 guys have taken up residence down the street from us. There is no real pond by us, just the rain made ones. From what the weather man says, they should be able to file for a change of address!

We were busy bunnies getting ready for easter! We managed to die the eggs and not the kids this year! Both Mia and Lou were able to help this year which was so fun! And they must have been kinda good based on the loot the easter bunny left! The both got mini pillow pets, shoes, books and some candy! Not bad kids, not bad at all.
