Together at last

Yep, Elena and Patrick are now sleeping in the same room. We finally bought another crib mattress so Elena could sleep in her crib. We bought her some new bedding so it would be fun and girly and they are surprisingly sleeping well together, even though Elena is still waking up at least once a night. She will always go back to sleep once she is fed. I gave our bassinet to my friend Brooke who needs it now with her new little bundle of joy (We have good timing dont we Brooke?). It was kind of bitter sweet for me, making room by getting rid of furniture, but moving my last baby out of my room.

Bye Bye Bassinet

Lets go to the Zoo!

On Thursday, Jesus and I decided that we wanted to take the kids to the LA Zoo. We figured it would be fun for Patrick to be outside for a long period of time and to see all the animals. Prepare yourself for a lot of pictures.

This seal just kept swimming in circles upside down.

Going into the park

Elena enjoying her ride in the stroller

They had this little glass area with these little cute monkeys

This porcupine was huge!!

At each animal, Patrick would yell "Hi!!! Im Patrick!!!"

This exhibit was closed but they could still stick their heads in the holes

This lady was holding a small boa constrictor, Patrick wanted to see it but he would not touch it

The Meer Kats were really cute and just standing on this rock

The flamingos were gorgeous colors, I always thought that they were just that pale pink but some were this amazing bright orange

We had maybe been walking 20 minutes and Patrick was done walking and wanted to be carried, so he got the stroller and I carried Elena.

This Alligator was huge!!

The Kangaroos were pretty boring, but Patrick liked them. As he rode around in the stroller he would get out at each exhibit then jump back in when he was done looking. We were his very own taxi.

This bird was just crazy looking, it looked pre-historic to me

The Gorillas were cool to see. There was a Mom and a baby. The mom wasnt facing the crowd but the baby was just running back and forth, finally it ran up and just jumped on its moms back. There was a male sleeping on the other side and Patrick yelled "Wake Up!!!!!!"

Im pretty sure the Zebra laying down was dead

Elena couldnt have been happier being carried around by me.

Camel

Patrick and Jesus looking at the Elephant

Elena wanted to take some pictures

Watching the Elephant

There was a baby giraffe and as soon as we walked up to it, this big dark giraffe came up and stared at me. Creepy....

We stopped to have lunch for the small price of $23.00!!!! for two burgers and a hot dot!!

The Monkeys just sat on this rock staring at us

I love turtles so I had to get pictures

Lemur tails, "You got to move it move it"

The tiger kept going to the water surrounding its habitat. It looked like it wanted to swim across and eat us.

Happy boys

The hippo was boring but if you ask Patrick what he saw at the zoo he will say " A Hippo!! With a giant baseball!!"

The Leopard was beautiful

This monkey was carrying leaves up the fence in its mouth

The condor had its wings spread out all the way for a long time, it was really cool.

Elena finally crashed

How cute is he?

It was a fun time and I hope we can go back someday when the kids will actually remember it.

Silly time

The kids and I went crazy with the camera, most of the pictures came out bad but here are some of the good ones.

Chef Jesus

So I didnt know what to make for dinner the other night and we were wanting to use the food we had in the house. We were missing some big things that needed to make the meals we were naming so Jesus came up with this. It was so good. I added dijon mustard to mine and it was perfect. It was a hamburger patty with cheese on lettuce with tomato and onion and some sauteed musrooms. We didnt have any buns but this was way better.
