Audubon Zoo/ Weekend fun


We just bought the year pass for the Zoo and Aquarium and we are so excited. One yearly fee and you go as many times as you want to either place- what a deal!
Last weekend we had the most beautiful weather so we decided before Mardi Gras and Super bowl madness begins, we would enjoy the day at the zoo. We had a wonderful time and the kids loved it!! The babies are at great ages where they both are engaged and excited to see the animals.
Charlie's favorite: Alligator
Reese's favorite: Pig, and Elephant
Mommy and Daddy's favorite: Giraffe's

Before the Zoo we had a BIG accident with Reese. Long story but Charlie ended up pushing Reese out the car (while parked in our driveway) but she fell straight on her face. Craig ran inside screaming for me, scolded Charlie, and we tended to poor Reese. We were debating and debating on going to ER (you just never know with the head) but after we read Web MD (which said watch for vomiting and lethargic signs) we thought all was going to be fine We were both nervous all day, especially when she napped but Thank the Lord all was and is ok!

Friday night there was "date night" at our gym. This is where you drop the kids to childcare at the gym (they have games, pizza, etc) and parents have 3-4 hours for date night. We used this time to catch up on some errands without kiddos and go to a nice dinner together!

Sunday we went to church (which is right near the lakefront) so we decided to take our workout clothes and double stroller and go on a run after church on the lakefront. From there we went to the playground for the day and then went home to watch football. It was a perfect day!

Could not have asked for a better weekend for this little family!

Love the new wagon from Mame' and Pops!

love this crew to pieces!
The pig that Reese asked me if she could kiss- hilarious!
Love the grounds of the zoo!
Ready for a nap! And she actually napped great!


Ahhh...aligator!!
Loving his treat!
Those angel eyes- he melts my heart!

Christmas '12 part two...

Christmas was absolutely wonderful. It was so nice to have a white Christmas in CO but most importantly spending time together with our very loved Paulin crew! It will be a Christmas we will always remember.
When we got home Santa had delivered to our house too. Charlie's desk and Reese's baby doll bed.
The weekend we got back, we enjoyed Gumbo and gifts with Craig's mom "CZ" and "BZ" and Aunt Leigh. Unfortunately I didn't get pictures.
The same weekend we had the Kingrea Christmas at our house. I made crab and corn bisque and we spent the day relaxing and opening more gifts.
Now back to routine and time for New Years, Super Bowl and Mardi Gras!

Charlie's Christmas Wish List: Desk, Gumball machine, costumes, magician hat and wand
Reese's Christmas Wish List: Baby Doll & make-up
We were so nervous how Reese would do on the plane.
After being crazy at first she soon settled fast asleep in my arms with the help of her loved Caillou 
Charlie LOVED the plane and also feel fast asleep.
Enjoying the gorgeous view!
Adorable!
