SF Zoo & The Best Picture Ever

I know I'm a little biased, but seriously, you cannot deny how adorable my little peacock is!

Today we went to the SF Zoo and it was a blast! I was shocked at how well the kids did, but they were awesome! We saw every single exhibit and they lasted 2 hours past what their normal naptime is. It was the perfect day to be at the zoo. It was cold and overcast, but because of that, the animals were up roaming around rather than just hiding in the shade.

Em LOVED looking at all the animals, I was surprised she could see as many as she could. P had fun too, but I must be honest, I think his favorite part was jumping in the puddles. His pants were so soaked we took them off for the car ride home and discovered that his shoes and socks were also drenched. His poor little feet were freezing and resembled large white prunes! Obviously that did not bother him one bit! He also loved riding the Train and Carousel too of course.

We all had a great time. There were lots of things for the kids to do. Statue Animals to climb on, tunnels to pretend to be meerkats, petting zoo for the farm animals (in which parker runs as fast as he can to brush every single one he finds), they even had little stations set up where the kids could feel animals (like turtles, and feathers, things like that), it really was a great day!


We are all pooped now. My kids were gone from our house from 8 am to 8 pm, no joke. Long day, but so great and so worth it! It was even better that we got to enjoy it with some family!

Thanks GG & Grandma for a great day!

These pictures are so fun! I love the zoo and I can't wait to take my kids when they're old enough to appreciate it! I wish we could have been there and watched because kids are so funny! I'm glad you're having fun with them and appreciating how dang cute they are!

What to pack . . .

So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
