TOTE Christmas

Jordan gets therapy on Friday's through the TOTE program, and today they had their holiday get together.  We got there kind of late since we were coming from her PT/OT in Westland.  But we did manage to get a picture of the kids with Santa.

Everyone has commented that they were shocked Jordan didn't scream or cry with Santa.  I just tell them she's just exhausted since she just came from an hour and a half of therapy.  I am sure if she was wide awake she would have been throwing a fit.

Mary Denny Field Trip

Nathan had a school field trip where they went to the bakery and toured the place to see where all the goodies are made.  Kevin went with him, and said he had a real good time.  They were able to decorate their own cake before they left.

Here is Nathan all dressed up ready to make a cake!!!!

 And here he goes.  He did a great job!!!!!

 And he even bought mommy a bumpy brownie.  Yummy!!!  It was really good.!!

Here is Nathan's master piece all done!!  I think he has a gifted talent :)

Debunks Corn Maze Field Trip

Today Nathan had a field trip with school to Debunks Farm.  I don't get to go to many school outings since I'm usually at work.  But today I took a half day to take Nathan.  It was a lot of fun and I am glad I was able to share that with him.  The only part that was awful was when Nathan ran off in the corn maze and we could not find him.  I thought I was going to have a breakdown.  That was the longest 5 minutes ever.

Here is the giant tube slide the kids got to go on.  They loved it.

 Here comes Nathan

 and Adryan

 He had a good time on the bouncy balls

 They were able to have chicken races with the water.  It was really cute and the kids loved watching the ducks fall into the tub at the end.

 Riding some bikes!!

 Here we are on the hay ride being driven to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins.

 Mommy and her little man!!!

 Trying to find the perfect pumpkin

 And here it is!!!!!

 We got our pumpkins.

 Nathan thought the big barrels were fun to play in.

We both had a great time. Afterwards we picked up Grandma and Jordan and went to McDonalds to play and have lunch.  It was a great day!!!!

Detroit Zoo Trip

Today we took the kids to the Detroit Zoo with our Neighbors, Rudi, Stephanie, Brandon and Donovan.  The kids were so excited to hang out at the zoo for the day.  It was another HOT day but the kids did not seem to mind.  They had a lot of cooling off stations which the kids loved.

The 3 Musketeers!!!

Brandon and Nathan

 Jordan just chillin!!!!!

 Our pretty little girl.  Man I love her.  She did so well.  Just relaxed and took it all in.

 Trying to get the kids plus Jordan to take a picture is next to impossible~Lol.

 Kangaroos!!!

 My favorites...the Prairie Dogs

It was really nice to all hang out for the day together.  Of course with the heat my head was not happy and I ended up with a migraine.  Other than that it was a great day!!!!

Toledo Zoo

Today Kevin, Papa and I took the kids to the Toledo Zoo for the first time.  We were visiting Kevin's grandma who lives in Ohio and decided to make a day of it.  We had a good time, but man was it HOT out. I really like this zoo.  There was so much for the kids to do.  We cannot wait to go back.

We have arrived.  We asked Nathan if he knew where we were at.  He said the Zoo.  I asked how he knew.  He said it says Z O O....that spells zoo.  He is so smart!!

 Our Kiddos.

 That's 1 big fish!!

 Nathan liked the Shark!

 Jaguars!!

 They had all these masks lined up for the kids.  I thought they were really neat.  Nathan had to get a picture of each of them.  He had so much fun.

 They also had this creek of water the kids could play in and make damns to stop the water.  Nathan loved it.  It was nice to cool off on such a hot day.  We could of spent the whole day right here and be happy.

 Jordan got in on the water action too.  She had a blast splashing around.  She is such a water baby.

 He is such a big boy!!!
