Our big excitement for this month was a short trip down to San Diego to take a trip to the zoo. This was our Christmas present from my mom & step-dad. It was a lot of fun. The kids really enjoyed it as it was their first visit to that zoo. We drove down on Sunday afternoon and stayed the night down there so we could be at the zoo on time the next morning.
This is all for 1 night. We do not travel lightly. . . .
When we first arrived at the zoo, we took a 45 minutes bus tour around most of the park.
Cousins!

Kyle and I took a picture by this statue when we were dating. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it to upload it. But someday, we will be able to compare the photos. Probably 11 years apart.
I have been working on a couple small projects for the girls bathroom. I made plaques with their initials to hang above their new towel hooks. We had a towel bar before, but it was hard for them to get their towels on and off. I also made another hair bow hanger. Our hair bow collection with 3 girls gets a little crazy. We have now lined up someone to redo our bathtubs and shower surrounds in about 3 weeks. So you will be seeing more on that in coming weeks.
The one on the far left is the new one. It matches the headband holder I made last year, although you can't really see that as it is so full.
Here are a couple more random pictures:
Katelyn wrote a story about fairies. She is really enjoying writing stories, letters, and journaling lately.
Here is a video of Madison chatting & playing that I forgot to post last week. It is a little long, but she dances towards the end of it.
Cute Quotes & Quick Stories:
- "Maybe one day, Mommy, you will see me on TV as President. But I still also want to be a teacher and a scientist." - Katelyn
- Madison managed to climb into the full bath tub by herself - with shorts and shoes still on.
Ha! Madison's daddy did that when he was just a wee one, too!
