Jude Drumming

Since I put the Fudge-o video up, Jude has taken a liking to watching "Jude videos." So here is another Jude video - I'll have to make more soon!

Sea Lion Video from the Zoo

Just wanted to share this little video of the boys watching the sea lions at the zoo. Listen for Jude laughing - he's got this new thing that when something is funny, he bends over, puts his hands to his mouth, laughs aloud (it's a totally forced laugh) and then says, "Funny!"

Fudge-O Update

I totally forgot that I had video of the fudge-o incident and I somehow forgot that Jude was trying to feed it to Gertie.......

Fudge-O

OK, when I was little, we used to eat these things called "fudge-o's" - they are frozen fudge bars, but I don't think they're called that anymore (consumers are way too smart nowadays to buy a frozen edible treat that sounds like an accident that happens in your pants). ANYWAY, I bought a box of them at the store the other day and not surprisingly, the boys love them. So I taught them to run around saying, "fudge-o" in a high-pitched voice and it's hilarious. Well, Jude doesn't understand that if you set your fudge-o down on the carpet, it's going to melt and make a huge mess (and that's just what he did). I took his froze treat away and he threw a fit, rolling around on the ground shouting, "Fudge-oooooooo," "Fudge-ooooooooo." It was cracking us up so bad (does that make me a bad mom?) because he had fudge-o all over his face and his hair was all crazy, and well, I guess you just had to be there (at least you might be able to understand by seeing ths photo).

Can you see the chocolate on his shirt? The top photo shows chocolate all over his face and the bottom photo shows him saying, "Fudge-O!"

Our Trip to the Zoo

I'm so glad we got away yesterday. The trip to the zoo was great- both boys really enjoyed it. Weather was good, crowds were minimal, boys were totally interested in all the animals! We rented a little wagon and both boys rode in it from exhibit to exhibit. We packed a lunch and ate half-way through our trip. After the zoo, we went to the Church Brew Works on Liberty Ave (near the Strip District) - it's an old Catholic church turned into a brewery/restaurant (their famous quote is, "and on the 8th day, God created beer.") Both boys slept on the way home. I totally crashed last evening- zoned out and fell asleep at 9pm (it was a long week). Thanks to my beautiful husband who got the boys settled and into bed!

Zoo

I made it -I survived my week!!!
We're off to the Zoo- hopefully we'll dodge the rain drops!

Congrats to the Hetrick Family who welcomed Sophia Grace last evening @ 5:08pm (after what appears to be a quick labor????) Congrat, Aim! Can't wait to see her photos.

Have a great Saturday.....

Peace OUT!

Baby - it's cold outside

I took the boys out today, thinking it'd, "be good to get some fresh air!" Man, was it cold. We're in for 2 more days of cold temps and then maybe it'll get into the high 30s - can't believe that I'm looking forward to that.

This'll probably be the last post for the week, so we'll see ya next weekend.
