Lion and Tigers and Bears.. oh my!

Well, I finally made it to the big time! I was called up to Brookfield Zoo to practice all my animal sounds. Fortunately, my cousins Laura, Hannah, and Michael came with their mom, Shelly to help me remember them all.

Mommy lifted me up so I could see the polar bear. He kept diving under the water and eating lots of fish. I'm glad I don't have to do that for my dinner!

Don't we look like we're having a great day?

My cousins Laura and Hannah saved me from this walrus laying on me.

I also got to see dolphins underwater. I thought it looked like the best bathtub in the world!

ROAR! I tamed this tiger so we could all take a picture with it.

Here we are leaving the apes. Daddy says I'm his little monkey so this was his favorite stop.

I was mesmerized by the gorillas who were wrestling for several minutes.

Waddle Waddle. That's my penguin sound. I even dressed like one to see if I could sneak up on them.

See, it worked! I was able to get this close-up picture!

Grandma and Grandpa Olson Visit!

Grandma and Grandpa Olson came to visit this weekend. We had so much fun. We went to a petting zoo where I got to practice many of my animal sounds. I'm hoping to get called up soon to the Big Leagues, like Brookfield Zoo. I also got to eat some corn on the cob for the first time. Since grandma and grandpa were in town, and Grandma Anderson came over for a BBQ, mom and dad decided it was okay to spoil me a little with a pudding pop. It was so much fun. I miss them already!

A whole lot a little things..

Here are a couple pictures of me right before heading to dance class!

I loves dance class so much.

Happy Mother's Day, Mama! I decided to dress pretty for Church on Sunday. It was mommy's special day. I bought her some flowers and took nap that was more than three hours long. I thought she would like a little rest today .

Lastly, the yellow labrador that we were trying to breed Tivoli with wasn't Tivoli's type.. Four days of trying with that boy and no success. So, the breeder suggested his other AKC male, which is a black labrador. And... tadda! within five minutes we had success. Tivoli's new boyfriend is Joey. He is a beautiful black labrador who knows how to get the job done!

Puppy love..

Tivoli met her potential husband today! Yes, we are hoping to have puppies this summer.

Here is the Daddy..It was love at first site.We also got to see some of the puppies.

What a lovely day. Ryan stayed home with Tessa all day! It was the first time I have ever been away from Tessa longer than three hours..

And to top it off.. Right when I got home.. Ryan said...

" Now I know why you want a break when I get home from work!"

Watermelon anyone?
