Phoenix Zoo

White Sox Spring Training time!!

Trip started Tuesday morning at 4:30am. Woke up, finished packing and put Cole and approximately 95 bags in the back of the Vibe. We were on the road by 5:15am. Could've done without the rain at the beginning of the trip and the blinding sunrise in the middle (who doesn't love those moments when you can't see the lines on the road?), but would consider the 6 hour trip a success- Cole only started getting cranky when I pulled into the Phoenix Zoo parking lot! Grandpa and Grandma L were waiting and excited for our vacation to start!











*If you're in the Phoenix area, save your money and skip this attraction. Don't know how it considers itself a zoo with the lack of animals... Will give them credit for the Fisher Price area - It was adorable!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Shot is a bit blurry, but one of the few shots we got today - Aren't his jeans adorable?

He LOVED the St. Patrick's Day parade through Balboa Park on Saturday. We thought it would be small (aka lame) but gave it a shot... Wish we hadn't made afternoon plans! It was huge! He was the cutest thing watching the fire trucks, police cars, horses and dogs go by. A fireman gave him a plastic hat and a policeman gave him a sticker - He couldn't believe his luck! Next year we're not making any plans and going early to ensure we get a front row seat!

Cars 2

We caught the Cars 2 premiere on TV the other night... Think he might want to see it? Yeah, I don't think so either...

Spring is Here!

I've been working on the SR125 project for 8 years - Several things were promised to the local community and I never thought the park would take so long I'd have a child to bring to the grand opening! I usually avoid these things but went to keep Aunt Traci company and congratulate her on her hard work. Without her, probably would've been another 8 years before it opened. Wasn't sure how Cole would handle the event, but it ended up being one of the greatest days ever - There was a fire truck, horses AND a wet playground. It's the little things :)

I wasn't prepared... Figured what the heck and stripped him down!









Not even out of the parking lot...

Sorry Girls...

*Thank you for the awesome shirt, Aurelia!!

Mission Beach

*Injury occurred last night- A puncture wound from a plastic basketball necklace! The blood... The fear we need to go to urgent care... Apparently it's something I'll get used to having a boy? Not so sure about that!
