We're going to the Zoo, zoo, Zoo...

A couple of weeks ago we got to take a week and go to Mukwonago to visit Adam's family. We had such a great time. One day we traveled to Madison with Grandma and met up with Laura, Oliver, and Eliot to go to the zoo. The zoo was the perfect size, we were able to see almost everything in two hours and still get the kiddos home for lunch and a nap! They had so much fun and I got to borrow Mom's camera for the trip to take pictures.

The first two pictures are ones that Sami has taken of us this summer. And the rest are from the zoo.

One Sunday after church we all packed up in our 15 passenger van and went to the beach at Ft. McCoy. The kids has such a great time and Bella really loved playing on the water toys that were there!

Sami got this hat from etsy.com and both Bella and Sailor look adorable in it! I love this picture, thanks Sami :)

And now on to the zoo. The giraffe was so pretty, my favorite by far!

Bella was so excited to walk that she kept pulling Grandma's hand all around!

Adam, Oliver, Bella, and Grandma

Oliver liked the jumping off and pushing the rocks almost as much as he liked the animals!

This was by the pot-bellied pig and I caught Bella trying to "oink" and get his attention.

As we were walking away from the bear exhibit, Bella wanted to say goodbye.

For the most part Laura and I were talking the whole time so, this is one of the few pictures that I got of her and Eliot with Oliver.

As you can tell by this picture, Adam really enjoyed the zoo! :)

Checking out the Prairie Dogs.

We had just gotten done with our snack break and decided that it was time to go home, so the Grandkids grabbed Grandma's hand and off they went.

First Haircut

Bella got her very first hair cut on Monday last week. Her bangs were just too long and hanging down into her eyes, so I decided that it was time to get them chopped off. We live right around the corner from a salon, so we took a walk over there one morning. Sami came with us and took some pictures for us, so here they are. The first picture is of her long hair before, and then some from during and after the cut. Bella did really well, she just didn't want to wear the apron that they put on to keep the hair off of you. After they let her take it off she was just fine!

Fun pictures

I found some fun pictures (all courtesy of Sami) of Bella on facebook that I haven't posted on the blog yet, so here you go!

This was one of our favorite shirts that Bella had! She still has it, but she has outgrown it. Had to get a picture while we still could (barely).

Here are some shots of Bella playing in a nice spring rain just outside our house.

Her first bath in our new bathtub was a great success. She had lots of fun!

Playing in our new yard is one of the kids favorite things to do.

This picture is of Sailor and Bella before we moved. Two beautiful little girls!
