Current events....and more on swimming adventures!

Portland got lucky last week and got some SUNSHINE,
we were all in vital need of some good Vit D, so off to the Zoo we went!!!
(The elephants are my favorite there, esp little baby)

This would be "chicken little" Ava, afraid to touch the small goats...wuss.

Now here is Ava's new found favorite animal at the Zoo,
the crocodile (or as she calls it, the Alligator).
A couple days later she woke from a nap and started blabbing away
about how much she liked the sleeping Alligator and wanted
to go see it again and on and on....
wonder if she actually was dreaming about him!

We picked up a couple strange kids at the Zoo also...not really... we've babysat
these 2 munchkins a couple times on Saturdays, they're great kids.
We were going to watch them again this Saturday, but their Grandparents
offered instead, guess the boy was quite disappointed. Somehow we are fun to
hang out with! They just love all the toys I think. We all have fun though!
(Ava & Tyler were not up for smiling here, Ansley was all over it though)
Oooohhhh, ahhhhh......fish are fascinating.

Had to take some pics of our new favorite Saturday hangout... the community center pool, it rocks!!! Ava could go down this slide all day long with her Daddy.


And here they come now, woooshhh.....



This one is better than the other center we'd go to, this has a kiddo slide also, which
Ava spent much time going on over and over again.

Just a cute pic of my big Girl all ready for Church in her new Valentine's dress!
(I went out and bought some white leggings for it today, it looks a little scandalous with just tights, just a tad short!)

As for me and Baby #2, I hit the 12 week mark today, so close to being out
of the 1st Trimester. Tiredness has been my biggest issue this time around (some nausea & queasiness-lost my record and puked once so far). But then I had my Thyroid checked, because I have Hypothyroidism and take meds for it, and it's too low. So my Doc said that'll make me alot more fatigued too. I just can't wait to be done with this part and on to the "yeah I'm so happy to be pregnant" part. Though the Sciatic Nerve pain has already started.....oh the joys of it all. Somedays I know I sound like I'm not grateful for this miracle, but believe you me, I am!!! Just hoping September gets here fast!!!! :)

Every time I look at your pictures I can't help but think how drop dead gorgeous Ava is! She is so beautiful, and so grown up! What a doll!

That baby elephant is so cute! And Ava is super cute too! I had Kiera come look at the pictures of Ava and she LOVES the picture of her sliding, she keeps asking me to show it to her.

I love that you are prego! I am just so excited for you!! Gray got me a zoo pass for Christmas so we will definitely have to go together one time soon.

Adorable pictures. I'm glad you haven't been too sick but the fatigue is nasty. I hope it passes soon and you know, September will be here before you know it. ;-)
