So I figured I should probably post for those that don't know that we are having baby #2 on Februrary 9th and its a BOY and we are so excited!!!!! I think Annie is going to be a great big sister and we cannot wait until he is here! So far so good and its nice that its been busy with all the holidays to keep my mind off of being pregnant. So here's a couple pics of the little guy and his excited big sister!
So today I saw a really cute idea on how to make your own Rapunzel wig. We figured we would try it out since Annie is going to be Rapunzel for Halloween and this way if she didn't want to wear it we wouldn't be out any money since we had everything already. But she loves it already and I think she just looks too cute in it! Can't wait until Halloween!
So we decided to go ahead and get a pass for the aquariam so we would have lots to do this winter when we wont be able to go out. She really liked it when we went and loved just getting to run around yelling "Fishy, Fishy" over and over. Her favorite part was the stingrays which you can pet. Pretty slimy but she really likes it. They have a penguin exhibit now which was fun but kinda crowded. But I think we will have lots of fun this winter!
They have this really great kids place down the road that has little kids rides and games. Annie is a ride junkie so this is perfect for her! She really likes the carousel and they have these little jeeps that ride around a track. We figure its a great alternative to having to pay to go to Lagoon everytime she needs a ride!
For the 4th we got to just relax here at home but we had a great time. We went to IKEA since Annie has really been into trains lately and they have a little train set which works great for her. We also made some 4th of July cookies and of course deviled eggs which she really likes. And then we did some sparklers out on the deck and I think the pics turned out really cute so here you go!
We have LOVED having the wheeler farm seriously just 5 minutes down the road from us. Annie loves to see the animals and pet them and plus its FREE which is always a plus. We have gone quite a bit with our playgroup from church but we got to take Scott there a couple times which was fun. I have to say the goats are the favorite though! She loves getting to pet them and even tries to hug them! Here's the pics:
Mainly for my sake but kinda fun I thought I would post some of Annie's favorite things from the summer so I could remember when she asks me down the road! Don't want to be caught without an answer!
We took Annie to the Hogle Zoo for the first time at the beginning of the summer. It was lots of fun but was a little chilly when we went, hence she is wearing her jacket the whole time! They have a dinosaur exhibit up where they have a whole bunch of life size replicas of dinosaurs all over the park which was fun. She thought it was fun at first until she got sprayed with water from one and then from then on she didn't want anything to do with them. We got to see the new baby elephant which was really cute and she did really like the monkeys and tigers. Here's our pics:
