Zoo

We got a pass to the zoo after Lainey learned every animal in her books with animal pictures, and man was that the best investment ever! We have seen so many cool things at the zoo! We have seen the tiger swimming in his river, spent lots of time watching the gorillas, saw the Grizzly Bears swimming and playing, just to name a few. Elephant cut outs that Lainey wants nothing to do with!

I think she thought the elephants were real.
Lainey loves to chase the peacocks.

Checking out the monkeys with daddy.

So excited to see the monkeys.

Mommy and Lainey

Lainey was terrified of the giraffe, it was trying to eat her pancake.

Garden of the Gods

One day in early March Lainey and I headed to Garden of the Gods...and yes that was March in Colorado...beautiful huh!Lainey headed straight for the rocks on the ground!
Wow, look at those rocks!

Best attempt at a smile!

More worried about getting a drink than looking cute for a picture! Hydration...hydration.

Playing Catch Up

I know, I know, I haven't updated the blog in a decade...okay maybe it was just a year, but still, a lot has happened in that time! Here are some cute pics of Lainey playing around....I am slowly but surely going through my pics and trying to get this blog updated...I promise, you will get the see the last year very shortly!

Meal Time

Meal time is always the best time to catch pictures of Lainey, because she is contained in a chair and can't move nearly as quick as normal.

St. Patrick's Day Parade

We went to the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in Colorado Springs. Although the parade wasn't that impressive we had a nice time catching up with friends (I don't know how Lance eluded the camera). Lainey wanted to touch all of the animals and hated the clowns.

Picnic Season

Hanging out at the lake, watching the dogs swim for sticks.
Hanging out with Daddy.

Jason's barrier, so cars can't drive where we like to walk...it has been holding up well!

Bark and a stick...I'm in Heaven!

Check out my stick!

Let me give you my sly smile!

I love a good Saltine!

Don't take my picture...I have food on my face!

Still eating my saltines even when it starts to snow!

Lainey Tricks

Sorry this video is kind of blurry at times, but it was too cute not to post!

We finally got Lainey doing most of her "tricks"!

Playing Checkers with Lainey

I warn you, do not play checkers with Lainey unless you have quick hands!

Our Little Book Reader

As you all have seen, Lainey Loves Books! When I set her down to play in the morning, she doesn't go for the toy bucket, but instead straight for the piles of books! Each day we probably read 15-20 books (some more than once)...

I really hope she continues to love books as she gets older!

Here are more videos of our little reader!
