"Mont-eys"

I am sure you are all sick of looking at zoo pictures, but it is Ollie's favorite place. Today he wanted to go see the "mont-eys" and since it was a smidge less hot we decided to give it a go. Plus, I am hoping the walking gave these other two a notion to get on out. There was a new primate exhibit since the last time we were there, which actually was pretty cool. It is outside, and quite large. Of course we saw our usual faves, the lions, penguins, peacocks, and elephants; but today we even ventured further to see the tigers and deer!

p.s. Notice Ollie's new shoes since his old ones needed to be washed :)

BFFs??

Ollie has learned rather quickly that he can pretty much do anything he wants to Hogan since he lets lets him. We have had a few timeouts though because things that he normally tolerates (fingers up his nose, etc) tend to annoy him when it is about 100 degrees!

Puddles

Daddy took Ollie to Drumlins to help get ready for the tournament. You can tell Mommy wasn't there after you watch this video! Needless to say, he was soaked, but loving every minute of it!

Tournament Helper

Daddy took Ollie to "help" get ready for his tournament at Drumlins. Ollie loves riding in the cart and playing with all of the balls. They rode with Daddy's friend, Sean, the golf pro, to check out the hole locations. Ollie DID NOT want the balls in the holes! He was getting so mad at Sean for hitting them in the holes. You can see in the top pic how his arms are back, which is what he does when he gets mad! He normally naps around 1 but couldn't even make it home before he fell asleep, and they were home by 11 am!

The Stucks!

Aunt Linda and Leanne came last Thursday to visit, and it was such a nice distraction! Daddy even took advantage of me not being alone and was able to get some stuff done for his tournament. It took a little bit for Ollie to warm up, but was loving them by the end. Aunt Linda always brings Ollie little gifts that he loves. This time it was bubbles and a bear floaty for the pool. We now have to play with the bear every time we go in! She even brought good macaroni salad (not the one with all the nasty stuff I hate!) that I have been craving but too lazy to turn the stove on for and hot dogs for lunch. What could be better..lunch and the afternoon with some of our favorite people! Even Leanne gave up her day off to see us, although I am sure a dip in the pool is better than TJ Max!

More Zoo!

As most of you know, Ollie LOVES the zoo and we actually have a good setup to see his faves without having to walk too much (good for me!). These bottom two were from last week when everyone was complaining about the "cold" weather because it was only 67 degrees. We got to check out the lions up close! The top one is from last weekend when Daddy took Ollie for a quick trip. I couldn't go because it was too hot for me to walk around. It was so hot they had to stop and take a water break, and Daddy did such a good job of making him wear his hat :)

Ice Cream

The munchkins eating some ice cream. Avery loved it, whereas Ollie would rather hold it, and therefore let it drip all over. He hates having stuff on his hands so you can picture how many times I had to wipe them off!

Truck Ride

My mom and Jerry came up last weekend and I have been trying to post the pictures of him with his new piano that they bought but I have had no luck...and believe it or not we didn't take too many pictures. If you know my mom, you know that is crazy since she takes pictures of food. Plus, she has a great new haircut and everything! Anyways, here are Ollie and Avery playing in the back of Matt's truck. He didn't want to get out! Grandma Sally bought him some matchbox cars and trucks and that is all he's talked about this week. He even had to leave them in his bag at Patti's because he wouldn't share them!
