Fresno Zoo

Sunday we went to the Fresno Zoo. It was a really nice trip. We left around 8:30am and got to the zoo around 10am. It was a bit chilly when we got there, but by the end of the day it had warmed up and the sweaters came off.

Ian really enjoyed the zoo. I was amazed at how many of the animals he was able to name.

Carnival

Yesterday we went to Teresa's School Carnival.

Ian, Teresa and Nathan got their faces painted. Ian got an Ice Cream Cone, Nathan a cat and Teresa a flower.

They also got tattoos...

Then we had their hair done. (Nathan's is blue with yellow circles)

Ian and Teresa were both winners at the cake walk. Ian picked out cookies for his prize. They were really good.

We tried to get Ian to go down the bounce house slide, but this was about as far as he got before turning around and wanting off. I think he was waiting for me to go with him.

Butterfly

On Saturday, Ty and Ian took a couple pictures of a butterfly that was in our backyard.

Ty's B-day

We gamed a little in the morning

Then around 1pm Ian, Luke and I took a nap (we were tired) while Ty played on his computer.

That evening...Jon, Jo, Teresa, Nathan, Sean and Serina came over. We had nachos for dinner. We played Little Big Planet, while the kids watched a movie. Then Ty opened his gifts. Afterward, we ate yummy cake (Thanks Jo the cake was awesome) and had some ice cream

You-guana

Nathan calls Ian "E", which is totally cute, but today it led to a little confusion.

Ian has been learning the alphabet on his computer and when he got to "I is for Iguana" I just happened to repeat the computer, as you begin to do when your grip on sanity slips after too many child oriented things get crammed into your head. The voice on the computer pronounces it "ee-gwana" and when Ian heard me say that he that I was calling him a Guana. The rest sounded something like this:

"No, I not a guana I a big boy"

"I wasn't calling you a guana, I was talking about the lizard, it's an Iguana"

"Daddy, I not a guana, you guana."

"Me-guana?"

"You-guana"

"Iguana?"

"Not E-guana, daddy guana."

Meanwhile Michelle was in the background snorting with laughter it was so funny to her. I gotta admit, I got a good chuckle out of it. So much so that when we returned to the house later after errands and it was still on the screen, I tried to start the argument again just for kicks.

Baby Luke

The picture of Luke that was taken at the Hospital came in the mail today.

Photos

Luke had his first Doctor appointment today. Everything went well. He's doing great! He gained 5ounces!

While we were waiting to see the Doctor, I was able to take some shots of the flowers they had outside.

Jolene watched Ian for us. When we went to go pick him up, he was playing guns with Nathan. It was too cute

Fun at the Park

Jon and Jo invited us to go to the park near their house for lunch and to let the boys play. It was a great day out and the park was basically empty which made it really nice for just letting Ian and Nathan play and let us get some pictures.







Teresa's school is right next to the park so during recess she came to the fence to visit. When Ian saw her he wanted us to "help resa out of gate".
