Awesome Weekend
This weekend was so awesome! My sister had her baby, we went to the zoo, we went to the state fair, Bert and I went on a date, and my brother Tommy comes in town tomorrow!!!!!!!! My sister had her sweet little girl Matilda Catherine on Friday morning, and she is precious! Once again my sister always amazes me at how well she handles child birth. One of the nurses in the hospital even told her she should teach a class on it. I think thats a pretty great compliment. When I went to visit sweet Tillie I was so happy, I know my sister will have so much fun with her little girl. Just a little more hair on Tillie and we can put a cute little bow in her hair. I would officialy like to congratulate Mitchell and Sarah on having their baby girl! Alex is now two months old and getting so big. He is my sweet little man. His two month checkup is not until September 2nd, so I will update then with all the stats.
After visiting miss Matilda we went to the zoo to make sure we get the most out of our zoo pass. It was the best visit by far. The lions were out roaring, we practically had the zoo to ourselves, and Scotty the baby elephant was walking around the zoo doing tricks.
On Saturday we all slept in until 10:00! It was wonderful. We went to the state fair and the weather was gorgeous. I can't say I am a state fair lover myself, but Ava and Bert enjoyed it and that makes me happy. I have a hard time breathing in the horrible smells of the farm animals, needless to say I am not an animal lover even though I have a dog and I could never ever be a farmer. The food sort of makes me sick too, the person who handed me my chicken pita didn't have teeth and had yellow eyeballs. I know this sounds mean and maybe a tad snobbish, but I just get grossed out really easily. Ava won some prizes with the help of Mom and Dad, and she enjoyed the animals very much. Alex and Ava crashed while Bert and I ate, and then we decided it was time to go home.
Saturday night Bert and I went on a dinner date to J.Alexanders. It was very nice to go and just relax and eat our dinner. No walking up and down the aisles to calm down a baby, no entertaining anybody constantly throughout the whole meal. It was a very nice break.
The weekend fun is not over yet! My brother Tommy's flight arrives tomorrow morning!

Family Zoo Day
Today we went to the zoo. Yes, it was the hottest day of the year, but honestly it was not that bad. We went early and stayed pretty late. We saw all the animals, went to the splash park, ate lunch that I packed because zoo food is disgusting, and saw the indoor animals. Ava crashed as soon as we left the parking lot, and continued to sleep when we got home for 2 1/2 hours. Alex did not want to ride very long in the stroller, he prefers our shoulders or the baby bjorn. Alex is now 7 weeks old and so big. I can't wait to see how much he weighs at his 2 month checkup. He is really starting to come alive with his cooing and smiles. He got his first bottle of formulal the other day and did great with it. I am still nursing him and plan on nursing him until he is six months old. I gave him the formulal because Bert and I would like to go to a wedding in September kid free, and I need to get him used to a bottle before then. He is a really laid back baby,but can throw a crying fit for sure when he is not happy! Today was a great day with the whole family.
I am truely blessed and thankful for my little family.
