Park!

 It was finally not a million degrees at 9 am. So Tuesday I packed the kids up and took them to the park...

The kids were soooo excited to get to run around outside.. this is a constant request!

Then they had a plane area that was a huge hit.. especially with Dax... that boy loves airplanes!

 This is generally how you will find him when we are outside.. always looking up anytime he hears a noise looking for the airplane or in this case helicopters

we are definitely heading back to this park.. it was shaded and had a TON of things to do.. not to mention an entire toddler area... LOVE IT!

Pensacola Air Museum

Bright and early I packed the kids up and took them to the Naval Base for the Blue Angel Practice and the Air Museum.. Dax is a bit obsessed with airplanes, helicopters, and any mode of transportation.. and Zoey is always in love with airplanes. In fact I was a bit worried that she would be mad we were not getting into one and flying somewhere.. thankfully she was ok.

First was Blue Angel practice! To say I love watching the Blues is an understatement... Zoey thought it was a bit loud so she spent most of the time covering her ears.. Dax thought it was great. But then Zoey warmed up and liked when the airplanes wrote letters in the sky with smoke.

Dax loving the show!

After the show we went inside and enjoyed the air conditioning and the exhibits. Zoey and Dax loves climbing into the plane cockpits.. both were equally sad to get out of them.

Then of course we couldn't leave without visiting the play area... geniuses those museum people. The place was mobbed.. but it was the perfect way to end the day...

Dax was DONE! perfect trip!

Zoey's First Visit to the Dentist

Zoey had her first appointment with the dentist today... We scheduled her just for a "happy visit" where she could explore all the things at the dentist office... but Zoey was such a ROCK STAR, that they went ahead and cleaned her teeth! 

They gave her a kangaroo for her to practice on ...

Then she got to shine the light on the kangaroo..

Her hygenist was soo awesome! She showed her all the equipment she was going to use...

Then it was time...

floss time!

Cleaning her teeth.. Zoey just sat back and said 'AHHHHHH'.. as though she had done it a million times!

Then the kangaroo got his teeth cleaned by Zoey!

and last but not least.. a trip to the toy treasure chest!

I was seriously so proud of her! I was nervous that she would freak out.. but she was amazing! SO proud of my big girl!

Toddlers and Tiaras

Zoey decided that she wanted to put on make-up....and after watching an episode of Toddlers and Tiaras.. I went all out... 

This is my 16 year-old... gees...

Model in training.. her "blue steel face"

Sweet girl!

Now she is ready for the pageants.. yeah right..

Then on to the accessories...

Thankfully still a three-year-old Daddy's girl...

 Daddy was not to happy about his little girl wearing make-up... thankfully he likes girls without make-up! (like mommy)

Can you hear me now?

Bowling!

Zoey finally got the chance to go bowling .. she has wanted to go since she started bowling on the wii.. and Gary has been itching to play all these sports with his kids, we have already mentioned how fun it will be once BOTH of the kids can participate!

I was impressed she could pick up the ball all by herself... 

 Then once we showed her how it worked...

She was off and running...
