Kolton's first day of school

Kolton had so much fun on the first day of school.

Mommy: Kolton what did you do at school today?

Kolton: We played, we played in the gym, we played with cars, we played on the playground at school. I did work a shape puzzle.

Mommy: What was your favorite part at school today?

Kolton: My favorite part was the scary balloon and the shape puzzle

Mommy: What made the balloon scary

Kolton: The air was going out on the balloon

In case anyone is wondering, I had a good first day too.

New York Vacation

We had so much fun on our vacation to see our families for Cameron's first birthday and my grandparents 65 wedding anniversary party. It started off a little rough and both kids got sick the night before we were supposed to leave, but even puke in every room didnt stop us from making it on the trip (just a day later than planned) Here are some of my favorite pictures from the tripKarley reading a book with G-Pa (my dad is too cool to be called grandpa so we had to come up with a cool name for him.
Kolton turned into a baby for a while and really enjoyed the baby toys.

Karley and uncle Doob, she loves being tickled

Kolton, Karley and baby Cameron chilling on the swing

We loved swimming in Jo Jo's pool

Kolton's camp out, more like camp in, but he slept and napped in a tent at Jo Jo's house

Kolton, Karley, daddy and Art Art going on an safari adventure to the "rainforest" They actually went out back in the creek, but the first time my kids had been in the woods and Karley thought it was the rainforest thanks to Dora and Diego's show when they go to the rainforest.

Aunt Kristy and Baby Cameron

Here is Kolton playing with the baby toys again

Cameron's first birthday boy did he love that cake. Happy birthday cameron!!

Pudding Painting

Yesterday we were invited to a friends house for a pudding painting party. Who knew pudding could be so much fun and so messy. And my neat freak Kolton had a blast with the pudding painting.
He was a little shy at first, but it didnt take long for him to take a bite.

Then watch out! The hands were in and the pudding starting flying all over.

He started clapping his hands and saying, "what a mighty mess" over and over again. I am not sure where that came from, but it inspired Karley to atleast did in one finger.

She wasnt so sure, but she finally agreed to get a tiny bit messy.

Everyone washing off all their pudding paint. Except Karley who was exceptionally clean and just wanted to sit and snack!! The pudding party was a blast for sure. I am going to have to remember that one and steal the idea sometime!!

Splash Park

Special thanks to Kaleena and Matthew for taking us to NRH2O to play today. It was kind-of chilly and rainy, but the kids had a blast. The mommies were a little cool in the water, but it sure beats being HOT. Thanks so much Kaleena we had a blast.

Karley splashing in the waves!!!!

Kolton and Karley loved splashing and Kolton thought the wave pool was fun... from the edge :)

Dora Live

Today we went and saw Dora Live at Nokia theatre. Karley was so excited. As soon as we walked in she said, "Whoo hoo Yeah Dora show!" It was so cute!

Kolton was really excited to go to the show, but not all that thrilled once we were there. He didnt like the noises or the lights and he kept trying to escape by telling us he needed to go to the bathroom. He just sat there and watched the show, but he didnt really do anything or interact.

Karley on the other hand had a blast. She sang and clapped and danced and cheered for everyone that came on the stage.

Zoo day!!!

It is Z day already. Here we are all ready to go to the zoo. Ready to beat the heat with our new shades ( both kids lost their glasses somewhere at the zoo. I think the monkies have Kolton and the tigers have Karley's)

First stop Flamingo's. Kolton wasnt really too interested, but Karley was really excited to see the animals.

Posing with the penguins

" Look Mommy Giraffes." Karley was loving the animals. She wanted to get down and play with all of them. She wanted to ride on the elephant and swim with the hippos. She was so funny. She kept wanting to get in and play with the animals.

Kolton was having fun with the baby elepahnt. They both thought it was fun to play with the baby elephant.

Kalrey wanted to hug the elephant... and kiss and elephant... and hug him again.

The zebra's were popular. Kolton really wanted to see the zebras because they started with Z. Then once we got there Karley loved them. She kept wanting to go back and see the zebras.

Petting Goats at the petting zoo. I was shocked. Kolton brushed a goat and pet a chicken, but Karley wouldn't touch them. Usually she does everything and kolton just watches.

The little farm play area was the highlight of the trip. On the way home I asked them what their favorite part was and they both said, " the farm" There werent even any animals at the farm, it was just a little play area. I asked them what their favorite animal was at the zoo and karley said ducks and Kolton said the cow... both of which were at the play area!!! SO i guessed i pushed a stroller all around the zoo for nothing. We should have gone to the farm :)

Karley kept asking if she could ride the animals... finally she got something to ride on!
