More Animals!!!
I think Caden's favorite thing right now is animals. He asks to go to the zoo almost everyday... Its a good thing we have yearly passes, but its just too stinkin' hot to go often and the Frank Buck Zoo only offers so much so today we made a spur of the moment trip up to Arbuckle Wilderness in Davis, Ok. We had soooooo much fun driving through the park and feeding the animals. We saw some crazy breeds of llamas and bufflo type things that we didn't even really know what they were. The kids got to feed camels, giraffes, zebras, and llamas from the car. I loved getting up close and personal with the zebras. They were my favorites for sure... I wasn't too happy when one of the camels decided he needed to stick his head and neck in my window and reach all the way over to Corey... One of my favorite memories will be Callie saying "Zebra come quick, eat" when she wanted it to come to the car. Here are a few snapshots from the day...

Big Kid Beds
The kids are making the transition to 'big kid' beds. First off I have to rant about the whole "convertible" crib thing... We spent $350 on what I thought was pretty good cribs that were 4-in-1 convertible. When it got to the time to really convert the cribs I learned the toddler conversion kit was $90 each, and the full bed kit was $199. I mean seriously I can go to RoomsToGo or Room Store and get cool twin beds for much cheaper than that with coordinating dressers and such... so anyway... We opted to leave the cribs and try to sale them and then go invest in cheap $60 toddler beds until the kids get their own room. At that time we'll go buy nice twin beds and furniture for them.... Ok... so our first night in the beds was so-so. Caden of course didn't want to say in his bed and after several attempts we finally left him in the room and he fell asleep in the floor. Callie went to sleep very easily. Of course they didn't stay there all night, but that isn't that rare for them and we are suckers and let them come cuddle with us. In their defense their routine has really off lately and they have spent only 2 of the last 8 nights with us so I think we would have had issues even if they had been in cribs last night. At nap time today Corey sat in their room with them for a few minutes as they watched ToyStory to fall asleep... after a while I went to check on them and this is what I saw...All three of them were out!!! In the photo Caden's eyes are open, but it must have just been from the flash, he was out and didn't even wiggle when I took the photo. 
Callie asleep in her new bed on the first night.
Caden on the floor, instead of bed where he should be. This after many attempts to have him stay in bed.
By the way.. the flash on my camera is amazing... it was super dark in their room when I took all three of these photos.
