My birthday, the zoo, and the Sinks part 1

For my birthday, we went on a great adventure.  We journeyed north to Fort Collins and Denver.  Our friends, the Sink family, joined us at the Denver Zoo.  Uncle Jacob came along too!  It was a great birthday weekend even if the Rockies game got snow out (we are going in June instead!)
 
 


 



 

Tessa, Jonah, Daddy, Doug, Uncle Jacob, and I all got to ride the carousel.




 The Mommies and the babies got to watch us.

My birthday, the zoo, and the Sinks part 2

We had so much fun at the zoo and with our friends.  We hope to see them again so:)




Making friends with a gorilla.
Simon had so much fun that he fell asleep on our way out of the zoo.
 












Finn and Simon had fun playing together.  The taught each other how to drool, clap, and make all kinds of funny sounds.

Backyards rock!

We go into our yard whenever we can.  Baseball is Jonah's favorite pastime although he also like basketball and soccer.  I love to play with my horse and watch our neighbors little dogs.  Simon bounces around and is just happy to be out:)
Grandpa Bob made this bat for Jonah and he loves it!














I practices my horse commands with this little stick horse.



Simon likes to bounce.















Mommy and Daddy got to use this tiller to get the garden ready.



Surly Simon...
Excited Simon!


Jonah helping Mommy plant peas and radishes.

Bath time fun

We are silly and love bath time!
Simon shows off his 6 new teeth (that's right-6 teeth in a month!)

Jonah and I pretend to be puppies.


Pretty, pretty dancing

So I am four now.  And that means I got some presents.  These ones are from Grandma Bobbie, Auntie Jenn, and Auntie Liz.













Shep is inspecting things as I open them.

















Here are a few of my new things. 

















I would only try on a few things at first so Mommy and Daddy waited to try again.

















Daddy and Jonah tried to show me how much fun the clothes and accessories can be...

















So I decided to give them a try.
 










































Then I got the hang of it and had so much fun!
