Our Weekend in Animals

Gracie the Gecko:

Imagine our surprise when it was London's turn for Gracie, the class pet! We get to take care of her until Tuesday, a task London and Madelyn take very seriously. She has not left anybody's sight, not even at soccer practice. Gracie comes with a special notebook where we record what she's been up to at our house!

Three musketeers.

Pflying Pfrogs (ha ha, like Pflugerville, get it?):

I might have mentioned Ryan has volunteered to coach L & M's soccer team, the Pflying Pfrogs. Yes, we concocted the name ourselves. Go Pfrogs!
Here we are at our first game...Well, the first camera-worthy game. L & M were a little overwhelmed last Saturday when, upon getting bumped, London came running to me in the sidelines, crying--"Someone bumped me and didn't even say sorry!" Maddie was soon to follow. Don't worry, this week went a lot more smoothly, though of yet the twins are still too polite to steal the ball!!


Fan club.

Liv's insulted she can't play, however she does partake of the team snacks.

Dolphins:

First time I brought a camera to Sea World. The girls loved feeding the dolphins!


Lorikeet:

Sea World has this really cool Lorikeet exhibit. You actually go in the atrium and walk around holding a cup of nectar...


and wait for the birds to flock.


Note: Lorikeets, not as shy as we had expected!
Lorikeets perch on Ryan's, and Liv's heads! A self-portrait.



The girls held amazingly still as they give Chester, Bianca, can't remember the other six birds' names, a little snack.


I thought this red one was so pretty!


Um, make yourselves at home!
It felt like a scene from The Birds upon first entry, what with them flapping directly in your ear and swarming your baby and the like. However, by the time we reached the end of the nectar L & M were pretty sure we could take the Lorikeets home, just like every other animal and potato bug that would love their bed.


Penguins and sisters.
Sisters and penguins.



Little Monkey:

Liv's first steps! Mostly practiced with the back row of the Relief Society as her audience. At this rate, she'll be keeping up with her sisters in no time...


Yikes!!

I love that they are playing soccer! I wish I could watch a game, it would be so funny.
Did the birds poop on anyone?! It would be cool to have them flock but I would be a little tense about what they might leave behind...

Stop it! She is not old enough to walk yet! I'm literally dying here. I love that the twins are playing soccer, and that they're so sweet. Brock was the kid slide-tackling his first year of soccer. Boys are so aggressive. You're family is so cute, Les! Love ya!

Keep enjoying the little moments of life--love ya!
