Happy Birthday Kelli!

I couldn't think of anything I wanted to get or do for my birthday except going to the zoo (which Kyle is not a fan of) but since it was all I wanted he took the day off and went with me. Keri and her kids were going to come, but her kids have gotten too cool for it.

Felix was fairly unimpressed at the animals. He looked at them, but didn't smile or anything.

This was my favorite. Kyle mocked me for blocking kids and even ignoring my own child while I watched the polar bear in pure delight. It was so amazing. He would jump off the rocks, swim to the window, flip backwards and do it all again.

Felix was unimpressed (even with the polar bear) until we got to the tigers. I was so enthralled in his response I didn't even remember to take pictures of him. He was talking and laughing and pointing at the tiger and did not leave for a LONG time.

But don't worry. His disinterest returned as soon as we left the kitty.

That night my mom made me a better than birthday cake. It was delicious. Wendy and Kass joined us (though I'm pretty sure they were there for Keri, not me).

And the Sunday after Kyle's family celebrated my birthday with a peach cobbler.

Goodbye Sweet Park

I don't know if this was actually our last time at the park by our old house, but it was nearly the last.

He was amazed with the throwing the water bottle in the air game Kyle played with him.

And this was one of Felix's first times on the big swing:

Grandma Janet made him this blanket, which he LOVES (when Kyle and I actually let him use it, cause it's really comfy).

Tuachan

We went to Tuachan with mom, dad, wendy and her kids this year. We didn't get off to a great start cause Kyle tried to back his car into the space for a speedy exit post-play, but this stupid tree crept up on him and now his car is rusting.

We were super excited for the play. The weather wasn't too hot yet and I thought Aladdin would be great.

But it was no where near as great as The Little Mermaid. And the genie was to die for annoying. We were all pretty disappointed and Justin was pissed that he got dragged to it :(

Happy Baby Rissa

This is my friend Rissa. She's having her first baby in September. She sadly moved to Missouri in July, but before she went we threw her a baby shower and took almost no pictures...sorry Rissa. (I can't believe there isn't even a picture of pin the sperm on the egg...or of my cohost Kendra!).
