St Patty's Day and more

All day long Jakob wanted to know what we were going to find GREEN for St Patty's day. Honestly I had no clue. So not to disappoint, we made green rice crispy treats. The kids both helped, and it was really fun! Plus it gave me a snack to get rid of for Preschool Playdate the next day. Which btw only the moms really ate! So funny.

My son the Rock climber!!

A couple of people had told me about this cool place to go rock climbing in a wharehouse. After seeing how much fun my friend Angela and her hubby were having I decided that this might be fun for Jakob. I had originally planned for Mike to be the one to take him, but it was awesome that GRANNY got to share his first climbing experience. She wanted something to do for his birthday since she wouldn't be there. I was completely impressed. He really went up those walls! He climbed for almost the entire hour scaling 5 1/2 walls b4 his ugre to pee couldn't wait any longer and he had to come down. I really hope this video clip works because it is awesome to see my boy do all of this!! Of course he wants to go back!!

Yoga and Belly dancing

Of course wherever mom goes so does her yoga mat. She brought it out first day and Hazel fell right in line! I love these pics!!

I had asked mom to bring down some of her belly dancing video's for me and some friends to try out and play around with. I never thought in a million years that my SON would love it! He's a bit stiff, but sticks with it. Too cute!

Another Adventure with Granny

Of course mom's trip to S. Florida had to include either the beach or the Zoo. Since it was so sunny and hot (for her) we decided to go to the Zoo. Plus Hazel had gotten a lot of sun the day before so we wanted to let her skin have a break. (Notice the third picture) Here are some of Mom's shots. I LOVE the one of Jakob "being a monkey".

Showing Granny the alligators!!

After an unsuccessful trip to the neurologist for Jakob (insurance crap), we decided to make an improvtu trip to the Everglades. It was HILARIOUS to see my mother freak out over wildlife. This is the same person who would take me camping in the mountains and set her own tent. I thought she would die when she saw how close we actually were to the alligators. She even got really nervous if Hazel would run on the path or if the kids would yell too loud. As if an alligator was going to jump up and grab them! Too funny!

This is literally how close we get to just about all wildlife here. Of course I don't reccomend getting that close to the gators. Not that brave yet!

Granny Came to town

So Mom came down, she was itchin' to see the kids and hang out with us for a bit. Man did we have a ball! I am so exhausted from it all, but it was great to hang out with her and to see the kids have a ball with Granny. Below are some shots of her and the kids from the week.

Yes she actually got Hazel to sit still long enough to braid it in pigtails!!! So Cute

Fun Times!!!

Seeds of Hope Festival

Recently we went to the Seeds of Hope Festival. It was a really sweet little vendor set up of different buisnesses and attractions from around the area to promote a used toy drive that The Mustard Seed Initiative was supporting for migrant children. We went to support our friends who were organizing the event and the ones who were working the La Leche League Booth for our playgroup. One of the attractions was a place called Everglades Outpost, which is a rescue mission for animals found or found to be mistreated in the area. Here are some that they had for fun!

No Hazel's not an animal, but this picture was taken 15 min after we arrived. She already had dirt on her face!!!
