Field trip to the Hedrick Exotic Animal Farm

For Aleah's preschool class we went on a field trip to an exotic animal farm. It was rather cool. besides my children being very afraid of animals, I enjoyed it. We did good enough not to absolutely freak out with the crying and screaming and trying to jump on mom kind of thing. So I think it went pretty well. At this farm you can pet almost all these animals. I don't have more pictures because my hands were occupied trying to keep Aleah calm. Needless to say Aleah didn't pet any animals, wait she did pet the kangaroo at the very end. Nani didn't pet any animals. I wanted to pet more animals, but again, I was occupied and required by Aleah to keep my distance. The animals you could pet were giraffes, camels, llamas, zebras, horses, different cow types, kangaroos, goats and emu. The only animal they suggest you don't pet are the ostrich, they bite hard! We saw some other cool animals too.










some camel kissing!

Soccer

In April, Aleah started a soccer clinic.

She's having lots of fun and getting some exposure to the sport.

She's still not quite sure about taking the ball from other kids. We're tyring to convince her that during soccer it's okay.

kite flying

We tried flying kites the other day. It went okay. It wasn't as easy as I remember, but it was fun.

Cravings!!!

Bruschetta

This is what I've been craving! I remember a SIL eating this when she was prego, and when I thought about it, I wanted it!! So I had to make some.......................and eat ALL of it! (there was much more than what's on this plate- somebody stop me!)

Warm weather!!

A kind friend brought us these beautiful flowers from his garden. Isn't that so sweet?!

Spring is beautiful!

A few months ago, in anticipation of the warm weather, I bought some fabric to make spring and summer outfits for the girls. Last week, I finally made them. I sewed like a crazy woman. The funny thing is, that these outfits really take very little time. The skirts I made are even faster. The other projects I sewed took more time, but I'll post those later. I made 3 sun dresses 3 skirts and a nursing cover. The other projects I sewed took more time, but I'll post those later. I can't wait to show you the other projects. It was a first time for those.

Some more from Easter

Here are a few more pictures from our Easter. (Yes, I know

Easter was a month ago)

The girls decorated their baskets this year.

One of the many egg hunts.

And this picture pretty much explains that week. We were exhausted! We got to spend time with so many friends and we were all over the place. Aleah fell asleep like that. When you're tired, you're tired.
