To the ZOO!

Now that the weather is starting to become nicer out, I took my kids, including Child Care kiddos, on a field trip to Woodland Park Zoo. Now, we do this every year, but it never seizes to amaze me how new and exciting it is for the kids EVERY time! You would think that having been to the zoo on numerous occasions, the kids would be "used" to seeing these animals. However, by the amazement and wonder expressed on their cute little faces, I am proven wrong everytime. I love the innocence of their little minds, and the fact that it is SO easy to entertain them! 

I...Can...Stand....

I was able to get some quick cute pics of Mickey standing up on her own....

A Walk...

One of the best places about Ellensburg is that it is small enough that you can walk just about anywhere. My family is fortunate enough to live right next to a great walking trail that leads all the way to our local swimming lake and park. It's a nice relaxing scenic walk, and a great way to spend some time together.

*Hair *Hair *Hair

So, anyone that knows me, knows I love to do hair. Given, I'm not very good at my own hair, but I can pull off a mean french braid on anyone else. Being a momma to two boys, well, I had to get my fix somewhere, so every little girl that has come through my doors has had their hair done by me at least once.  Well, I'm happy to say that I now have my own little girl who FINALLY has hair that I can do!!! I love it!! I think she has more hair accessories already than I've had my whole life!!

This was McKynlee's first hairdo. She had just enough hair to make a small pony-tail.

This is the 1st time I was able to get in two ponies, yes Two! Haha

 

And, it only adds to my excitement that she has curly hair! 

 

I love that her hair is getting longer, I can't wait to braid it!

 

Heck, even Big Brothers like to get in on the hair action!

But, every once in a while, a girls gotta cut loose and let her locks run free.....especially after they've been in pigtails all day!
