Yesterday was such good weather! Me and some friends decided to go to the zoo. Which was really fun except for the wasp attack! We just got done touring the fish exhibit/aquarium and we were headed out to the parking lot. We decided to stop and let the kids play outside for a while. When I returned back to the stroller I placed my hands on the handle and I felt this sting. I just assumed it must had been a bee and it flew away before I could see it. While I was examining the first sting I felt the second one,third, forth and it just kept stinging me up my arm. At that point I was freaking out. I had riped my coat off and was shaking my shirt, it was still stinging me. I was to the point that I starting to take my shirt off and finally we saw something fly away. It had to have been a wasp since it was more than one sting. I was also very relieved that I didn't have to take my shirt completely off. I was embarrassed a little because I did a freak out dance jumping up and down as if I had ants in my pants, nope, it was just a wasp in my shirt. I am just glad I am not allergic to bee/wasp stings because 7 stings is quit a bit. Well here are some picture of the bites. And as far as my friends, they were absolutely great. They were trying just as hard as I was in finding the little bugger! And AFTER we all had a good laugh!

Meili and Noah doing crafts!

Noah just looked so handsome today, in his flannel and cords, that I had to take a picture of him. I've actually have been wanting to give everyone a little update on Noah. He is such a big boy now I just can't believe how fast my little baby is growing. And for those that really never get to see him I just thought I could write a few things about him.

He is starting to eat REAL vegetables now and I am so relieved and excited for him. Up until now we were barely getting him to drink the V8 splash juice, it has like one serving of vegetables in every 8oz. and so we were like hallelujah when we found it, but now he is actually eating fresh vegetables: green peppers, carrots, tomatoes (only the seeds), and sometimes spinach and lettuce, so I feel a lot better about his diet! His favorite dessert/candy:Chocolate, gum

He is such a boy! He loves anything that has wheels (he loves his hot wheels), anything that can cut or that resembles a knife/sword , anything that roars (fav.-Dinosaurs), bites, or scares. His top three movies: Curious George, Wall-E, Totoro.

We use to close his door for his naps and bed time, just because he wouldn't stay in bed if we didn't and so sometimes he would cry a little. Anyways, we would play this primary music that we got from church and it includes: I am a child of God, if the Savior stood beside me, we thank thee oh God for a prophet, just to list a few. Anyway, so when he hears that song, no matter where we are, he'll say "lock the door, cry". he's sounds so cute when he says it in his little sad voice,I don't know, it's just cute to hear him say it.

Things him and Meili fight over: The couch. They both want to lay down but not be touched. They are so long now that that is impossible! So they end up screaming at each other because of it-it makes me so upset sometimes. Who gets to choose the movie, they fight over it all the time. My new thing is that we ALL get to decide who chooses the movie. Actually, they fight over almost everything. It's usually, who gets to do it first? Opening the fridge, climbing the stairs, going outside, putting on their coats. It's really getting ridiculous. I think it's mostly Meili, she is into this whole winner/loser thing. I'm trying to help her realize that we want people to win, that it's a good thing when others succeed. We just do our best and it's better to help others and work as a team,we don't want people to fail. She is doing better!

He knows his colors yellow, orange, black and pink really well, the rest of the colors are "green". He can count to ten but usually skips 5.

I feel like there's so much that I could write about Buddy. I hope that I will be more diligent with writing about him on the blog on a regular basis. He does the darnest things and he is just such a doll! Speaking of doll. He loves to put make-up put on, sticker earrings on, toe nails painted, pretties put in his hair, perfume sprayed on him... I wonder if I am confusing him? I am trying to stop all of it because of his reaction upset when I don't let him-it scares me. It just helped me realize that this could turn ugly if I don't stop now! Anyways, he's adorable and I absolutely love him!! I remember when I found out that I was having a son I got so depressed because I just knew that I wouldn't be able to attach myself to him like I did to Meili-Not! He is my little bud and I wouldn't want it any other way! I love you Noah, Buddy, Prince!!!

A little update on Meili and Noah and I guess all of us!

Noah-Well, he loves things that are sharp, that can cut, that can be subsituted as a sword or anything that can be potentially harmful. However his FAVORITES are: Scissors, Pirates sword, butter knife, skewers, batteries, pencils/pens, screw drivers and the list goes on. Of course I try to keep all of these things out of reach and away from him but I always wonder. Out of all the things in our house you want to play with those things? I open the fridge, what does he grab first? The batteries or the tabasco sauce. I sit down to color with Meili and he wants to cut. I am cooking and he is sneaking into the drawer pulling out the skewers the butter knives. Why not the spoon, the crayons, the milk? why does it have to be something he will hurt himself with? It really frustrates me sometimes but he is doing better when I explain that it's dangerous and can hurt him, he'll usually put it back without a fight. And sometimes he'll point at something and say "Mommy, Mommy, danger!" and he'll start backing off. So I am getting somewhere.

Noah likes Dinosaurs. His favorite is Tyrannasoraus Rex, and he loves spiders, snakes and trains. He doesn't like vegetables and so we give him the V8 splash and that is his favorite juice-thank goodness! He loves "ew, ew, ah, ah" a.k.a Curious George, He loves Wall-E. His favorite song is "sunshine" a.k.a you are my sunshine.

So I close the door when he takes a nap, which nowadays is never, or when he goes down for the night. So I put on
