Zoo and Disney, loads of fun!

This is a random picture but cracks me up. We were doing some cleaning in the garage and found a few items that Tatum felt made a wonderful outfit. Love those boots!

We finally got over to the SD Zoo with Ellie and Mandy and we were just in time to see a Pangolin!

Ty enjoyed his first trip to the zoo. Our passes expire at the end of this month but we're definitely renewing, we love it!

We went on the sky buckets to get over to the new elephant exhibit. I'm not a fan of heights but you can see that Tatum wasn't disturbed by them. :)

The girls enjoyed the beginning of the exhibit, lots to touch and look at.

And lots of big statues to look at and climb on.

And they had a new lion area where you can get close and personal with the lions. I loved that her tongue was hanging out while she was sleeping. Just like my cat Cali at home! :)

Here's Mandy trying to carry both of our big babies. The trail of the exhibit proved to be much longer than we expected and since I had Ty hanging on me and we left the strollers at the front of the zoo, the girls we very tired of walking and begged to be carried. Even though we had a rest at the grill and enjoyed some soft serve, the girls we falling apart and we barely made it back to the strollers. Oh, next time a map would be good. And no leaving the strollers!

Then on Saturday, Shauna came down and we took Tatum to her first play. Disney Road Show, she loved it! Here is Cinderella, which she was so impressed by.

And the show was great at getting us out of our seats and dancing. Here's Tatum bouncing on her seat with Tiger. She loved it and we had a hard time getting her to leave. :)

Poway Fun!

Ty is already one month old! Here he is posing on his sporty bean bag. :)

We've been enjoying our new city of Poway and here we hit up a street fair where Tatum got to ride the firetruck...

and decorate tiles at the kids zone. Lots of fun!

Another day we checked out the Old Poway Park where there's a real train! Just like Thomas!

As you can see, Ty is really enjoying his first train ride. :)

And then we enjoyed the park with all the old bridges and a large amphitheater where they have concerts in the park. I think we'll be enjoying this park lots!

We love our new town and all it has to offer. Lots of yummy restaurants, kids parks and activities. And we love our new library and story time! Please come to visit us and enjoy it with us!

Irvine and Dave

We went up to Irvine for Ty's first trip and he enjoyed fun activities such as tummy time...

and lounging in the Ergo as we toured the mall. :)

Tatum rode the merry-go-round yet again...

and had a fun play date with her friend Landon. Peek a boo!

Nothing better than some backyard fishing! We also saw Mattie for an hour but I didn't even have a chance to get my camera out. Not enough time with our BF!

Then Mommy and Daddy headed to the Dave Matthews Band concert in San Diego. These seats were amazing! The closest I've ever been to Dave!

Look at that view!


Dave is such an amazing artist, but even better from a few feet away!

And I even enjoyed a large margarita!

And Garrett did his best to chug down 4 beers, what a trooper. :)

But then it was on to water since I was the driver (and the nurser) :) What an amazing night, we really enjoyed it. And thanks to Grandma for making it possible! :)

Tatum's favorite past time

Tatum absolutely loves the library. We got a new library card and went to check out the new library down the street from our house. We found the kids section and stayed for a long time reading books on the couch. Tatum was in love with the rows upon rows of books that we could take home! We checked out six books and bought this yellow library book bag, she was so excited and looks forward to going back every week!

On Tuesday mornings they have story time at the library so Grandma and Tatum went to check it out. They read three books about safari animals and in between each book was songs and fun activities.

Then after books, they librarian got a bunch of toys out for all the kids to play with. Tatum loved it and made some friends.

Her and Grandma will definitely be making story time a weekly occurrence. :)
