Lions & Tigers & Bears... oh my!!!!

We took a trip to the KC zoo a few weeks ago - it was still a little chilly out, but we were able to see a lot of the animals. Tyler loved the elephants & lions. Can't wait to go back this summer!

Tyler... roaring like the lions! We saw Mufasa :)

Birthdays, bathrooms & babies

Once again I've failed miserably at keeping this thing up to date. Looks like I have a few months to catch up on! So much has happened since February... Tyler turned 2 & we had his birthday at Airzone. It was wild & crazy, but so much fun. The kids had a blast!!! (As you can tell, we only invited a FEW. HA!)

We were lucky enough to have Mema & Tyler's cousin Jaiden visit from Orlando. They boys were a riot... we'll definitely need to keep our eyes on these two! Jaiden experienced his 1st snowfall, I guess they don't see much of the white stuff in sunny Florida :)

Chris & I also decided since we won't be selling our house anytime soon, then it's time to start remodeling. The bathroom was 1st on the list - it took a bit longer than anticipated, but it turned out AWESOME. I think some outdoor projects are up next.

More fantastic news... my little niece Kaya Marie was born on St. Patrick's Day!! She's healthy & beautiful, and mom & dad are doing great with the new addition :) Hudson is quite the rockstar in the big brother department.

I never thought I'd see the day.

Elmo LIVE.

Yes, we are now certified Elmo LIVE attendee's. Chris decided on a whim to buy front row tickets to see the hairy red monster and all his pals, live at the Sprint Center. I was less than excited, but once we got there (having talked about nothing but Elmo for the past two days with Tyler) it wasn't too terrible ;) I've never seen my son so excited for anything... he even got hugs & high-fives from a few of the furry beasts! Good times.

We had to gear up with some cool (ridiculously expensive!!) Elmo toys!

Getting ready for the show.

Tyler & Daddy up by the stage.

The little man was so excited for the show, he couldn't stand still!
