Babies that I love

About a year ago, two of my good friends had babies within a couple weeks of each other. Lucky for me, I got to spend some time with both of those little knuckleheads recently! And their mamas, too.

This is Julia. Sadie (her mama) invited me to join them at The Oakland Zoo. I hadn't ever been. And now I have. Check out some emu and wallaroos!

I'm not sure why I didn't take any pictures of the bigger animals, but seriously you guys- one of the elephants LOVED us. LOVED. US. We saw lots of animals, ate a lovely picnic lunch, rode a train through The Outback.....it was a busy day!

Then, of course, it was Ethan's birthday. Oh man. What a ham. I like him a lot. Jenny and family threw a wonderful party. The eats were great, the company was enjoyable and most importantly, Ethan liked the present I got him. Gifts are the most important thing in life. For instance, if people don't give you stuff how do you know they REALLY like you? You don't. See? 

You ever heard of a Sing-a-majig?


Now Ethan KNOWS.

Aw.....blowing out candles!

It should be noted that my favorite part of the party was when Ethan hated his birthday hat. I am so mean.
