They have gone under cover

The kids are cracking me up with their sun glasses! We went out for dinner tonight, and they just had to wear their glasses while we were eating. It was so funny, it's like they have gone under cover or something and are trying to hide their identities. I mean look at this...



HA HA HA! They can do their best to go under cover, but I can always spot these two cuties anywhere!

Such a happy boy!

Bayou Wildlife Park

We headed out to the Bayou Wildlife Park last weekend and had a great time. The kids LOVED seeing all of the animals up close and personal! We will have to go back soon... once it gets a little cooler!While we were driving into the park, all the animals that were near the road would come up to the cars for food. It was so funny that these animals are so acclimated to people that they are not even afraid of the cars. We literally had to "off road" to get around this guy... he would not move out of the middle of the road!
Here he is again... at my window asking for food! He was NOT planning on moving for anything!

Our safari boy

And our safari girl... HA HA! She really wasn't grumpy... she was just really hot



This picture looks so funny, but I promise that this ostrich was not about to eat this child... just the child's bucket of food!





The zebras were really neat. Our tour guide said that we were able to get closer to these zebras than people who go on an African safari!

Do you think Gavin is checking out the camel or the little girl??? We are going to have to have a talk with him...

No matter how much fun you are having with all the wildlife, sometimes a boy just has to stop and take a break to pick some boogies! UGH!!! We are also going to have to have a talk about that...

"Here Mr. Goat, eat from my bucket... not that bucket!"

She's got a thing with glasses!

Madaleine has had this thing lately with her glasses. She is such a diva!

She even knows how to accessorize...

Notice the bling bling on her wrist (Daddy's watch)....

and notice the fashionable hat. Gotta love it!

She even has a thing with her Mr. Potato Head glasses!

This baby doll was my Aunt's when she was a little girl. Madaleine figured she'd spruce the doll up a bit and give her some glasses... HA! She's so funny.

The pics of the hair and bed

Here is a picture of Gavin before his hair cut...
As you can tell, he was in desperate need of a hair cut. This picture must have been right when he woke up or something because man... that's some crazy hair!

And here is the handsome boy after his first hair cut!! Much better, but he's a cutie no matter what!!!

And the toddler bed.... ohhhhhhhhh. I hate the toddler bed. There have been some really rough nights. Life was sooo easy before the toddler bed. I would just lay each of the babies down in their crib, close the door, and they would put themselves to sleep.

Since putting Madaleine in her toddler bed, she is having a hard time going to sleep and she cries as soon as we even say the word "night night". It is getting better though. I would say now that she will only cry about half the time, and the other half is the crying for an hour. Nap times are rough as well. It now takes her about an hour before she will fall asleep. For the most time though she doesn't cry with naps, she just walks around her room until she falls asleep on the floor... yes, the floor. There has not been one nap yet where she actually has slept in her bed.

Overall, she is surviving the transition... she just still needs a little more time.

Here she is one morning before I woke her up. Actually in her bed!

And here she is during nap time. Poor baby. Darn... I wish she didn't learn how to climb out of that crib!
