April 2012

Christian turned 35 in April. We celebrated by going out for Japanese... surprise, surprise! It was a fun night celebrating the main man in our life.


The following weekend Christian's parents came for a visit. We were so happy to have them here to celebrate Easter with us. We took the kids to Cosley Zoo to see the animals. Both kids were very afraid! I am not sure why, but it was kinda funny. Addy was the most scared of this llama. He looked harmless but had the most disgusting teeth.




 EASTER


We had a nice Easter morning. The kids came down to their baskets before we headed to church. They both received new blankets in hopes to help Benson with his bedtime routine. He started climbing out of his crib the week before so Christian and Dave converted his bed. We just needed a way to keep him in his bed. He can roam free in his room but I still want him to stay in bed. The blanket definitely helped because he is completely obsessed with Cars 2! Now if I could only keep him from escaping his room.


Jamie and I made a yummy Easter/ Birthday dinner complete with homemade Lion House rolls. Addy  made cinnamon rolls with grandma for the first time. She did a great job and loved eating them after! Licking the frosting off was probably her favorite part.



The kids hunted for eggs in the backyard. Benson of course loved throwing them with grandpa. It was the only way we could get that boy to smile. 



The rest of our time with grandma and grandpa was spent shopping, playing, and of course cooking! We all loved their visit and can't wait for them to come again.


Here are my cute kids in there Easter outfits. It was quite the adventure to get any pictures of Benson. Luckily, Chelsea and Cailyn were there to help us out. After we tortured our kids with pictures, they played at the park and in the water in Chelsea's backyard.

Cosley Zoo





These were some of Addy's favorite animals.


On Saturday Christian and I took Addy to Cosley Zoo. The animals there are mostly native to Illinois plus they have a few others. Addy loved seeing all the animals. The whole time we were there she kept saying "animals eat." She didn't like to get very close without one of us holding her. There is a train caboose that had fun learning activities inside, another of her favorites. Some other animals we saw there were: turtle, fox, hawk, owl, snake, coyote, and a white tail deer. We had a great day at the zoo!
