Another Trip to the Zoo

Now that the weather is getting nicer we decided to make good use of our yearly pass to the zoo and visit the tigers again. It is the best exhibit in th ezoo. The tigers are only a few feet from you. There is a wire mesh to protect everyome but with my zoom lense I can make it look like there's no barrier!

Prairie Dogs & Just Say No to Carousels

Catelynn seamed to have a great time peaking out at the prarie dogs. But we can't say the same for the carousel. We couldn't even get her to sit on the horse :(

Catelynn's 2nd Birthday Party

We decided to keep Catelynn's birthday party small this year - just family and Uncle Guy ( who is like family anyway :) ). This year was a Bear in the Big Blue House theme. The character cutouts were quite a hit! While it's not the prettiest cake I decided to bake one myself this year. Thankfully everyone liked it, especially Catelynn! YUMMMM

Family at My Birthday Party

Today I got to see most of my favorite people - Agga and Grandpa Shirley, Granny and Grandad McRae, Aunti La and Uncle Guy. There was even a mini Lily who came in her place!

Happy 2nd Birthday!

We can hardly believe that it has been two years since Catelynn came into the world. Today was packed full of fun letting Catelynn just enjoy what she loves to do. First I woke her up at 10:57 am, one minute before her birthday was official. And boy was she a grouch! It took some convincing to get her to try her birthday cupcake, but once she had her first lick at the cream she couldn't be stopped!

Birthday Fun At Stepping stones

Since it was a wet and dreary day we couldn't go to the park to run around. So we decided to try the Stepping Stones Children's Musuem. Catelynn had a ball. There were lots of toys, crafts and things to climb on. She even found a pair of butterfly wings that she insisted on wearing. We had lots of laughs playing peak a boo through the glass holes.

Birthday Girl Gets All Wet!

There is NOTHING Catelynn loves more than playing in water. You can't even say the word BATH around her or she'll throw a fit to get in the water. We tried to keep her dry for as long as possible, but Catelynn insisted we go to the water section of the museum. Although they provide smocks the only part of Catelynn that was dry when we left was a small stripe on her belly. When the musuem closed we left in nothing more than a pair of tights, a t-shirt and mom's coat!
