Part 4 of January fun - Wild Animal Park!

We went to the Wild Animal Park this month a couple times.  This particular visit we did on the weekend with Declan and Lexi and becuase it was Saturday the Daddy's came too.  Here are some cute pics of the kids.  I love the ones of Declan and Ella - he is so sweet with her.  It is just precious to watch them together.



Proof we really do see animals when we are here.














Part 3 of Jaunuary fun - A night at Aunt Amanda's.

Daddy has been out of town and Uncle Garrett has been traveling so we decided to break up one of our weeks with an overnight at Aunt Amandas.  It was a nice way to break up the week and spend some time with family.  We had so much fun!  Yes it was chaotic but we knew with 3 it would be.  Amanda and I both agree that we are not cut out for 3 though!  i only got some bath pics and then a couple of Lily on our outing to the Wild Animal Park but I had to share because these kids are just so cute.










Part Two of January Fun - Gymboree Class!

This month the 3 little ones - Ella, Lexi and Quinn did a Gymboree class.  They had a good time and so did I.  It was nice to have some one on one time with Ella and spend time with the little ones and their Mamas. 


Ella was the official ball hog of the class.  She would take a ball from anyone - even the teacher.  I think she is going to be fierce on the playing field someday.


I would say Quinn changed the most this month.  She went from not moving to crawling and standing - it is amazing how quickly they change.


Lexi was everywhere and always smiling.  I love how happy she is.


Fun Days in January - Part One

We are behind in blogging so I am splitting the month into multiple parts but most likely it is out of order in appearance.  We had a great January with some fun playdates and visits with Nonno and Gramma Abbott.  This month I am getting a better handle on being a stay at home Mama.  It is not easy with 2 going out and about but I am slowly figuring it all out.  We kicked off the month with some fun with Declan and Lexi at the Legoland Aquarium.  We went to the YMCA after but of course I left my camera in the car.





We headed up to Gramma and Nonno's for a couple days and had a great time.  We got in some beach time - yes thats right the beach in January - gotta love Southern California.  For all of you people thinking how spoiled we are believe me we pay for this weather and it isn't cheap.



Lily loves to put up her tent and hippo in the backyard.
