Reptiles show at school!

Room 1 and 2 saw the show together which made it awesome for mommy!

They had a reptile show this week at the kids school and I was lucky enough to attend. The get sooooo excited(literally their faces light up) when we attend their school functions so I'm proud to say we haven't missed one!! This one was particularly hard for mommy b/c there were(disgusting) reptiles like tarantulas and scorpions...bleck but the kids seemed really into it! Phia was chosen first to demonstrate and she wasn't scared at all! She got a cute little green lizard and was beaming from ear to ear in front of her classmates. Presto was chosen next(ironically) and he got to hold the lizard on it's back. He's hands weren't very steady so I was so paranoid he'd drop it but he did really well! He's learning to sit on his bum(he's got a way to go as it's only his 2nd week in school) however, during this demonstration it was nearly impossible for him to sit...he was so into it!!

Look at our sweet Phia!

And little Presto too. It's pictures like these that remind us how tiny he still is:)

Note: Presto on his knee...just couldn't sit!

I love her face...this was a very slimy toad

Phia and Tess...Tess got freaked(couldn't blame her) so she sat down before the lizard even came out

(don't mind Riley's skirt)...so Riley was chosen to come up and replace her. LOVE Phia's face in this one!

And she had no problem touching him:)

Meeting her little friend face to face

And it was Presto's turn next! He was over the moon!

Yay!!! He did so well!!

Careful buddy!

Christmas with the other Tees family!

Dapper boys:)

We celebrated late this year because Auntie Sarah was with her family during Christmas. We had a very casual celebration and also celebrated Uncle Frank's birthday with cake and ice cream. The cousins love seeing each other and I can't get enough of watching them play...such great memories they're making.

Din din time!!

Uncle Frank and Presto...Preston's new thing is he loves to help make coffee so Uncle Frank was supervising;)

Auntie Sarah and Miss Phia

And a birthday kiss from Miss Phia

Make a wish!

Always a princess...

Bentley's 15 month stats!

Bentley's first haircut! We kept his hair...it's super fine, soft, and curly wirly! He was super sick here from his shots but still as handsome as ever!

Oh how our bear is growing! He's so very very tall:) He did not feel well at all after his shots but is back to his normal happy self now...phew! He loves giving big open mouth kisses(mommy and daddy's favorite) and is such a sweet soul. We love you BEAR!! This week we managed to wean him off both the bottle and the binky...such a big boy. Here are his stats:

Weight: 24lbs 8oz(50th percentile...such a slender boy)

Height: 32 1/4"(81 percentile...TALL BOY)

Head: 49.5(95th percentile!!! Smart boy)

Our sleepy cuddly bear

Some mornings after taking the kids to school I'm able to come home and walk around the neighborhood with bear...I cherish these mornings!

Look at me mama...I like milk in a sippy now!!

Ohhh the diapy...how mama loves the diapy!

More weekend fun...

Breanna, Logan, and Presto enjoying dinner!

After the zoo we had the Malyszek's over for dinner/drinks/dessert! We bbq'd chicken asada and the brought cupcakes from Skiff's. Their son Logan is in Phia's class and they have another little girl Brianna and have a newborn Hailey so they have their hands full just like us! The kids bounced in bounce house and watched Madegasgar while the adults got to visit. Such a relaxing night!

Daddy holding sweet Hailey...brushing up on his newborn skills for our new angel to arrive!

I love Bentley's staticky hair...ha!

All 3 of our munchkins

Mommy still does airplane with the kids at 5 months pregnant...probably not the smartest thing!

But they love it sooooo much!!

Presto kept saying "To infinity and beyond!!!"

LA Zoo Day!

The two musketeers

Our darling littlest bear loved walking around

We have an annual pass to the LA Zoo and we haven't used it in a while! The secret of the LA Zoo is to get there right when the doors open, head straight to the playground(that's empty b/c it's early) and then only stay for 2 hours before the crazy crowds flood in. We went with our neighbors to celebrate a birthday and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. The kids loved it! They also put in a brand new carousel right near the elephant exibit. Again, since it was so early we were the only ones on it!
