Happy Birthday Kenzie!

Last year Kenzie's birthday party was outside at a park and it was extremely hot!  This year her Mommy decided to have it at the same park, but inside.  That was much better!  The theme to Kenzie's party was My Little Pony.  There were ponies scattered throughout the room.  Immediately upon entering the room, Emma spotted one that she just wouldn't let go of.  Meagan and Kenzie were nice enough to give that one to Emma because Kenzie has way too many and was getting even more for her birthday.  Thank you Kenzie for sharing your little pony with me!
 
 
The one that Emma fell in love with.

And it looks like she got it!

 
Waiting for something to eat.  Hmm...I wonder what it will be?

 
All the kiddos pulling strings out of the pinata for candy.

 
Emma didn't understand what was going on, but she did get a couple pieces of candy.

Zoo Trip With The Grandparents

Since we have our Zoo membership, we thought we might as well enjoy a few things.  With a new exhibit opening up, the Zoo has been very crowded at that location.  And it still was today!  But we decided to wait in line anyway so that we can see the sea lions in their new home!  It was well worth the wait, but we could have done without the heat.
 
 
Grabbing a quick snack while waiting for Grandma and Grandpa.

 
We are finally using the birthday meal Emma received.

 
Waiting in line for the carousel.

 
Found one that Emma liked.



 
All done on the carousel ride.

There goes a sea lion!

 
And another one!

 
So beautiful!

What a fun filled day at the zoo!

Yummy Yogurt

Emma is trying another new food...yogurt!  I wasn't sure how she would like the texture or the taste, but neither seemed to bother her.  She loved it!
 
 
Big girl using her own spoon.

 
Staring at the container.

 
Again another bite.

 
Checking to see if there is any more in the container.

 
Oh better yet, let's just stick a hand in to make sure.

 
Chewing on the spoon.

 
Yummy!

 
Could she be a lefty?

 
Eating yogurt with her hand.

 
Going back for more with her hand.

 
Making sure to get every last bit off of her fingers.

 
Last bite!

Bath Time With Lexi

Michael and I thought it might be a good idea to kill two birds with one stone...give Emma and Lexi a bath together.  Lexi loves the water so we didn't think there would be a problem with that.  The only down side was the fact that we had to wash Emma a couple times to remove all of Lexi's hair.  These girls really liked taking a bath together and maybe they can have the opportunity to do so again, or even go swimming together!
 
Here are some of the pictures I was able to get while the two girls took a bath:
