Can you tell me how to get...

It just so happened that the big exhibit this month at the Children's museum was Sesame Street. It was all about your body. Liam was ecstatic. He was a little unsure about Oscars can though. When you pulled on the lid, Oscar would shout out to you to scram!
Thanks Sissy for taking us.

Watermelons

Liam can't quite figure out if they are real or fake.He chose correctly and proceeded to pretend eat them. A perfect way to freak a germ-a-phobe mom like me out. The hand sanitizer was out of my bag immediately!

Poor Uncle Stino

The kids love to attack Justin whenever he's around. Sadly, only Liam is an actual Nephew. (or Niece)
But a brownie point for him! See all single ladies, he's great with kids!!!

Birthdays

Liam and his cousin Tessa have birthdays three weeks apart. We've actually had joint parties for them the last two birthdays. We didn't do a party for them this time, but they did get to open their Birthday presents from each other. I think my favorite part was Tessa. She was so excited.




This was my favorite. Hearing Tess say Cinderella, or really Cinerllllellla. SO cute! Love you Tessie.

Our friends and Family

While we were in Utah, we decided to Bless Owen. For those of you who aren't Mormon and are wondering what that would be, it is like Christening in our faith. It is sort of like a prayer that Nate gave to him. It was a beautiful prayer and Owen was a good baby during it.

Thanks to all those that came to Owens blessing. It was so good to see everyone and to share this special day with all of you.

FORE!

What would a trip be like without a ride on one of Papa's toys? The morning we left, my dad took Liam for a ride in the golf cart. A favorite of the grandkids. He also let him sit in the boat with a life jacket on

D.C. Trip

So last weekend, Nate had a few days off between rotations. We packed the car, and drove the two and a half hour drive to D.C. for a little family time uninterrupted. I hadn't been there since high school, and Nate third grade.
By the time we got there after a lunch stop, diaper stop, and feeding stop, we made our way to the Museum of Natural History.
Liam couldn't have been happier to walk into a building and see a life size elephant. We were there for almost four hours. Liam loved it all, and Owen was a trooper and only fussed when he needed to be fed.

My HOPE

The hope diamond. Isn't it beautiful. I told Nate I want one. He said the only way I'm getting one is if I find the other lost half. Oh well was worth a try right.
I thought he'd tell me we couldn't afford it. but he would Oceans Eleven it for me?

The Woolly Mammoth

So as many of you know, Liam has an obsession with elephants. He hasn't figured out that the "hairy ones" are actually called mammoths.
Like all museums, there was a gift shop we had to walk past to exit the building.
Liam wriggled out of the stroller to get to it and found the coveted Woolly Mammoth. I guess it could be worse. He could have chosen the bag of rocks, a jelly dinosaur, or bugs encased in acrylic. Good choice buddy. Good choice.

The Washinton & Lincoln memorials

We walked down to the Washington Memorial, but took a distance picture of the Lincoln. If you hadn't noticed we were all bundled up for a reason. It was freezing cold and I didn't want to walk down and back with the two kids. Liam actually fell asleep on the walk back to the car and slipped out of the stroller, so probably a good thing we went to the car.

The Capitol

It's still so weird to me that we only live two hours from our Nations Capitol. What a beautiful building.

The Zoo

So Liam's favorite thing when we lived in N.O. was the Zoo. If you can imagine the zoo in Hershey is lacking most animals you'd find in a traditional zoo. They do however have plenty of deer, elk, buffalo and bob cats.
So we made sure that when we went to D.C. we did one of our days at the D.C. Zoo. It was a pretty good zoo. The weather was a little warmer that day so we were able to stay outside a little longer.
I think Liam's favorite part of the day was riding the metro. He loved it.
All in all, it was a great trip. Short but fun.

Fierce and Fabulous!

And the winner is...

I'm so glad he won. His collection may not have been the most wearable for everyday people, but the detail was incredible!
Do you think he'll do a line for Target? Cause that's the only time I'd get to buy something of his.
Congrats! Maybe he'll come to Hershey?

Guilty Pleasure.

So one of the things you may not know about me is, I'm a Project Runway junkie! I have watched the last two seasons and can't believe that we are already to Bryant Park.
So to my Sheer joy, one of the challenges this season was the eye candy challenge, where they had to use only Hershey paraphernalia. After they finished this challenge they brought some of the deigns here!! My favorite was Jillians but Rami won the challenge.
In case you are wondering, My favorite designer is Christian. He's "fierce!" (third one on top row)
