Lions and Tigers and Bears, OH MY! Seriously, OH MY...check it out!

Ella and I went to the Zoo Monday. It was the perfect day for checking out the animals. Our Zoo is so wonderful and so big that we didn't even get halfway through (maybe even just 1/4 of the way through) in the 2 1/2 hours that we were there. But I loved everything I saw and can't wait to go back. I'm sure we'll be there lots this summer!



DISCLAIMER: THE BELOW PICTURE IS NOT MEANT FOR YOUNG EYES.

Our first stop was to see the bears, though I didn't see much because Mommy was covering my eyes. I don't know why.....OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!! Our Zoo might have a bear cub soon!


We quickly moved on to see Ducks and Rhinos and Elephants.


The elephants hanging around outside were cool, but nothing like what we were about to see inside!

Meet Beco, the Columbus Zoo's 6 week old elephant. She is soooooo cute!

Beco and her Mommy were so playful with each other. It was really neat to see. I wished I could take Beco home with me!

Next stop - Lions and Tigers and Jaguars and some other cats that I can't remember. We didn't take many pictures. Nothing could really do better than Beco. Next time, we'll get more pictures of the other animals.

This tiger was pretty.

We also saw the monkeys and gorillas, but didn't take any pictures. Ella let me borrow her sunglasses for a while. She is really good at sharing!

I forget what we're pointing at but whatever it was, it got both of our attention.

Being silly

Ella has a new sister on the way...due any day now! Good luck and congratulations, Jen, if we don't see you before she arrives!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommies out there!

This is my Mommy's favorite day because being a Mommy is her favorite thing!

Celebrating Mommy and Daddy's birthdays

We went to Uncle Damon, Aunt Kathy and Aaron's house to celebrate my Mommy and Daddy's birthdays with them and Grandma and Grandpa.

As usual, Aaron and I got along beautifully.


I mean, isn't this about the cutest thing you've ever seen?


Grandma made Aaron and I parachutes and we had a blast playing with them. Thanks, Grandma!

Happy Birthday, Daddy

Happy Birthday to my Daddy! I feel so lucky that I was able to spend most of the day with you. I hope you had a wonderful day and liked the cake that I decorated for you!

Helping Daddy blow out his candle. Daddy really isn't 7 years old, but the only candles we had were numbers 1,2 and 7.

I also decorated cupcakes. They were REALLY good.

Daddy reading to me the card I gave him.

Hold on Daddy, I have to take a bite of my cupcake.

Okay, continue please.

Daddy, did you see this sticker? I put it on all by myself.

Happy Birthday, Aunt Ri!!!

I want to wish my Aunt Lori a very happy birthday! I love you, Ri!

We love piggies

I can now pretty much fit all my hair into 2 low pig tails. I still use barrettes to hold the flyaways back, especially when we're playing outside.

Do you love piggies as much as I do??

Welllllllllllll, do you?

More fun in my bathing suit

All that car washing made me thirsty!

Okay, that's more like it!

Taking a break with Bubba.


Oh, hi Mommy!

Playing in my sand and water table is a lot of fun.

And even more fun when my neighbors come over to join me!

Man, it sure is warm out here!

Mommy, can I take my hat off?

Ahhhh, feel that breeze!

Washing the car
