Jack's 1st birthday and the Zoo

Saturday morning Luke and I slept in and went out for breakfast. It took longer than expected and I was pretty anxious to get to Owatonna to see the kids. Luke stayed home to get some work done, so I went down by myself. My dad had to work a funeral, so my mom had the kids by herself. Bishop was busy entertaining Nora. He would stand on the stool and she would laugh and laugh and laugh!!

They certainly weren't short of toys to play with! :)

My HAPPY girl!

Thanks again mom and dad for watching the kids! They had a blast and we were able to too!!

I didn't have a lot of time to spend in Owatonna, as we had to get back for Jack Temploneuvo's 1st birthday party! It was held at Raul's restaurant (St Louis Park Tavern). Bishop had fun running around and flirting with the wait staff and of course, eating CAKE!

Sunday we went to the Minnesota Zoo to check out the Dinosaurs! It was a pretty neat exhibit. They had life size dinosaurs that made noise and then gave descriptions of them. Bishop's really been into Dinosaurs lately, so it was perfect timing!

Luke told Bishop T-rex was going to bite him....it was a little too much, as Bishop got scared!

Enjoying the zoo!

I always feel bad when we go "do things" and I take pictures of Bishop "doing" things and Nora in her carseat. I also realize before we know it she'll be running around too and I'll have plenty of opportunities to get pictures of her "doing" things!

As we were walking around we ran into one of Luke's friends from HS, Keith! They have a son who's 18 months (Carter) and a 5 week old daughter (Avery). Bishop liked playing with Carter--here they are hiding in the weeds!

The weather was absolutely perfect this weekend! Sunny, but not too hot! It was a very fun weekend!
