Grandma, Mommy, Reese, and I went to the zoo today! It was so much!! Going with Grandma is even better.. (she bought me a new zebra and panda bear)..

This is becoming a tradition.. sitting on this tiger. I got a picture of me on it last year too!! Isn't it big!! Don't worry, it is pretend.

oh.. and yes, Grandma insisted on me going on the carousel too!! I was so excited to ride the zebra!!!


This is a picture of me, Grandma and Reesey.. oh and if you look close you can see the elephant behind us!

The Ape house with the MOST fun.. we saw so many monkeys and such..

Dallas City Fun!!!

Batter up! My cousin Asher got a catcher's mask for his birthday. He is going to be the next Yadier Molina.

Asher's b-day cake looked like Busch Stadium. Well, the old Busch Stadium since Asher and I demolished it.


Reese and Ellie really got to know each other.

Reese, Ellie, and Hayden doing what babies do best...laying there.

Reese got some snuggling time with Grandpa Olson. He's really cuddly.

And Grandma got her snuggles in too!

Grandpa was playing zoo with me. He does great animal sounds!

I love my sister! I showed her all around Grandpa and Grandma Olson's farm.

Wow, our family just keeps adding to its number!

Grandma and Grandpa sure love their grandkids!

I was sad to leave Olsonville. I can't wait to go back!

We had such a super time visiting Dallas City to see my Daddy's family! It was great seeing everyone!!

The "bunny" Easter came to visit

The Easter bunny came to visit us and so did many of my family members. Mommy and Daddy hosted a southern brunch style Easter meal and lots of my cousins came over to enjoy the day. What a beautiful day it was too!! Hope you enjoy all the pictures!

Aunt Nancy loves playing with me!! I love playing with her too!!

I really enjoy hanging out with my cousin Michael too!

These are some of my cousins! I have SO much fun with them!

I loved finding Easter Eggs with my cousin Hannah!

Reese and I wore special dresses for Easter! I was a "True" princess and reesey is too!

Is this where Curious George lives?

Mommy and Daddy got a family pass for Brookfield Zoo this year, so we can go as much as we want! I can't wait to see all the animals! To help pass the time on the trip to the zoo, I decided to watch Veggie Tales. It's one of my favorite.

It was a really busy day today. What a zoo!

I did a great job following mommy. Her pants have loops just at the right height for me to tag along with.

Daddy took me to see the camels. He said he has fond memories of watching the camels with Grandpa Olson.

We decided to have a picnic after seeing all the animals. Seeing them all eat made us hungry too!

Mommy makes the best peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!

By the end of the trip, I was tired from seeing all the animals. What a day!

I was so inspired by seeing all the trainers at the zoo that I decided to train Tivoli when I got her home. Here I am walking her around for all the zoo patrons to see. Isn't she beautiful?! She's an endangered Yellow Lab, or at least that's what daddy says when she tracks dirt into the house.
