Santa Barbara Zoo

The boys love the flamingos.

Posing with the giraffes.

Garrett makes some of the funniest faces.  We see this one every now and then.  He's so cute!

These pictures are from a trip to Santa Barbara Zoo with Ryan's preschool class.  They are always up for the zoo so we indulge in the family pass each year.

Our little Easter Bunny

Grandma Johnson sent down some cute bunny ears for Clarissa (at least we assume they were for Clarissa) at Easter.  I couldn't wait to put them on her.  Doesn't she look adorable???

Ryan's Potty Trained

We are so excited Ryan is now wearing underwear.  We have been waiting for this day to come!   It was taking white and chocolate chocolate chips as the reward for peeing and chocolate peanut butter treats (Reeces) for pooping.  He may have gained a few pounds over this last month but it has all been worth it.  One down, now two to go!

Daddy's Helpers

Chris is a good father to his boys.  They want to being doing everything that he does (including making messes!)  Here's a few pictures of them hard at work keeping our home looking nice.

Visit to Fire Station

Ryan had a field trip through preschool last month at the Fire Station on Pickwick.  Funny thing, as much as Ryan knows and talks about fire trucks, he was nervous about getting in one.  No problem for Garrett; we had to pry him out!  

"No more talking"

Garrett has turned into a tape recorder these days.  He asked the same question repeatedly over and over again.  It gets on our nerves, and needless to say, Ryan is also a bit annoyed.  The other morning I was taking Ryan to preschool and Garrett asked the same question, "Are you going to school Ryan?" repeatedly.  Ryan kept answering although each time he would respond louder.  Finally, Ryan said, "Yes, I'm going to school and NO MORE TALKING Garrett!"  

It's not chocolate

About a month ago, Clarissa was playing with Garrett on the floor in the living room.  I left for a few moments and thought how cute they sounded playing with one another.  When I returned to the room.  I found Clarissa with something brown smeared all over her out fit, Garrett had it on his finger, and it stunk!  I can't wait to get this kid potty trained!
