Zoo Day!

Jessica and Jocelyn watching the tigers

The girls thought the flamingos necks looked like snakes!!

We had such a fun day at the zoo with our friends! Jocelyn was very excited to see Jessica, ride in the wagon and have a pinic! She was happy to see the animals too, I think! It was a very chilly day, so the girls stayed warm with a blanket. When we were watching the chimpanzees, Jocelyn said, "Mommy, his bum looks gross!" Yeah, I have to agree with that. From then on, she had to talk about animal bums and things that come out of them. It was embarrassing, but what can you do?!? When she told Grandpa and Uncle John about the zoo, she talked about how big the rhino poop is. I think she was truly amazed by it. Ha ha. Anyway, enough about that! We had a great day today!

Big girl bike and ABQ wind!

The other day we went for a walk around the neighborhood. Jocelyn wanted to ride her tricycle, which she hadn't been on for probably five months or so! Well, she definitely grew in the past five months b/c she is way too tall for it now! So we thought we'd check out bikes for her and we ended up getting her a little pink one! We picked it up today and of course, she wanted to try it out! We knew it was windy, but thought we'd give it a shot. Not a good day to learn how to ride a bike! I couldn't see anything because my hair was blowing everywhere, had sand in my mouth (yuck!) and the wind kept taking Jocelyn and her bike speeding off...which she did NOT like! So hopefully we can give it a shot another day...preferably a calm day!

Sticker tattoo??

Jocelyn was in her playroom being all quiet, which means she is up to something! She came into the living room and had lined these stickers all the way from her finger up her arm!! Pretty creative, but we're worried that means she'll want a tattoo or something when she gets older! Hopefully we are just being paranoid!

Little Gym

Here is Jocelyn at her Little Gym class. I'm sitting in the lobby filming through the window! Sorry this is so long. We don't have the tools on my laptop to cut it down! Grandpa, this is for you! :)

Our daily dose of entertainment....

Jocelyn got a small scratch on her cheek so we put some neosporin on it. A couple hours later, she comes up to me and says...

Joc: "Mommy, is my scratch all better? Is it gone?"
Me: "Yes, it looks all better"
Joc: "Well, then we have a small problem, Mommy! You have GOT to get this cream off of me!"
I wish I could have videotaped her saying that. It was SO dramatic!! :)


I have been meaning to write about this too. We have a GPS in our car and it talks and tells us where to turn, etc. Well, after spending a few days in Utah and being very worn out, Jocelyn got a little sick of the GPS lady! She started having arguments with her every time we got in the car...

GPS: "In .3 miles, turn right."
Jocelyn: "We are NOT turning right LADY!! Nope! Not today, Lady!"
GPS: "Exit left in .2 miles"
Jocelyn: "NO! We are not going to exit left, Lady! Mommy, tell her we aren't going to exit left!!"

Every time, she would put up her hand to tell her to stop. It was very entertaining! Never heard of someone arguing with a GPS!


One more thing... I have been watching Jocelyn's friend, Bryson, lately and usually Brianna is over here playing too. Jocelyn has been enjoying the role of the little protective mommy when she has her friends over, so Bryson gets an ear full most days! I guess Bryson and Brianna had a little tiff over a toy or something and Jocelyn took it upon herself to fix it! This is what she said,
"Bryson Paul!! (she got his middle name from his mom, not me!) You need to be nice to my friend, Bri!"
Then she looks at me and says, "Mommy, I will handle this!! Just let me deal with it!!"
OH goodness! That girl! :)
