The Phoenix Zoo :)

Today Ryleigh Mae and I went to the Phoenix Zoo for a field trip with the baby sign language class. It was such a blast! The weather was perfect and the zoo wasn't crowded at all. Ryleigh absolutely loves animals and just couldn't get enough of the 

"monteys with the peent bums!" ie. Baboons. 

She is so smart to, she learned and remembered the signs for monkey, giraffe, fish, lion and elephant!

She is so fun and I love every minute of t

he time I get to spend with her. Thanks Kel for the fun day! Oh yeah and at Sting Ray bay one of the big sting rays splashed her right in the face, yup the sweet sting ray decided to drench little Ry....she has the worst luck! At the Renisance fair last year an elephant reached through the fence and sucked on her face with his trunk! Apparently animals can't get enough of her either!

I love my little monkey bum!!!!

Quote of the week 1

I have decided to do something kind of corny/awesome. I have had some wonderful talks really hit home with me lately so I feel the need to share the lifts that they give me. For this week it was a talk about helping those who are less fortunate then yourselves. I guess I had been kind of feeling sorry for myself and have been a little down. Until on Sunday three of the speakers felt like they were talking straight to me. My favorite quote of the day was: 

"No one has made a greater mistake than he who has done nothing because he can only do a little."

I was kind of feeling "like well what could I possibly do for anyone right now." Then I realized that it doesn't have to be some big gesture of money or goods that someone is in real need of. This week I was shown an exact situation where someone was in need of something that really only I could offer. It was a great feeling and it took such little time or effort on my part but I know it had an impact on someone else, For their privacy I don't need to go into any detail but if there is anyone out there reading this, just know that I have a testimony and I am NOT afraid to use it ;-) 

SHE SPEAKS!!!!!

I can't believe it! My baby is so big! I can't believe how fast she has been growing. She is six months today and decided to grace us with her first words. And they are drum roll please...........................DA-DA! Surprise surprise.. Ryleighs were why shouldn't her sister's be. These aren't the words of jealous Mom, no not at all. She won't stop saying it!! DA DA DA DA DA DA is more like it. Im so happy! Its the most precious sound! Here is a video taken like 3 minutes ago!!! I just can't get enough! 

No I don't actually give her a big girl cup, she just crawls around and finds Ryleighs'!

These are done by Bridgette Marie, let me know what you think!

She likes it!

Brytie's first cereal time!

I can't believe she is 5 1/2 months!

"THE BEST LINE OF 2009!"

"You are such a bastard...." 

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!

If you watched the bachelor tonight you know EXACTLY what Im talking about!! Can you believe this! Spoiler ALERT: If you have yet to watch the finale then read no further. 

HE PICKED MELISSA! 

or so they would have you believe! I am sorry but I am just so appalled with the finale of this seasons bachelor. This is worse than when the bachelor picked no one! For those of you who didn't, or wont, watch the bachelor here is a small recap of the finale. It was down to two girls Melissa (gorgeous brunette) and Molly (iffy blondish brownish crazy ponytail girl) The bachelor chose one AMAZING girl named Melissa, proposed, and they lived happily ever after....FOR FIVE WEEKS! Apparently the adolescent man named Jason decided that he has changed SO much in the last 6 weeks that Melissa was not right for him anymore. On the recap show he breaks off his engagement with Melissa and five SECONDs later asks Molly to take him back. Heres the kicker....she says YES!!! They kiss and make up!! 

Poor Melissa! Well actually, turns out Melissa is the only one I have any respect for after this. She was so strong and had so much confidence to be able to say "good luck," to her ex-fiance. I am so glad she told him off. She basically told him to NEVER contact her again, and good for her. He is such a child! I can't believe Molly would be alright with being second best. Tomorrow is the final after the rose ceremony and I hope Jason gets an earful. And I am so glad Jimmy Kimmel gave him lotsa crap. Is lotsa a word? Probably not. Anyways, yay Jimmy! Man Im mad at Jason! GRRR I don't like him!! I guess I can't pretend to know what goes on in a man's heart but apparently Jason's is very conflicted; if he even has one at all.

Okay I am vented! PPhhhhewww! 

"My life is so boring and has like no drama, this feels so good!!" the words of JENNY STEINER :) She is so funny!

my sweetness.

There are no words. :)
