The Elephants are Back in Town

We love the OKC Zoo and it's one of the best in the nation. Our two female elephants Asha and Chandra have been away in Tulsa for two years on a date with "Snuffy" the male elephant while their new home was being built here. They finally came home and their new home was just completed. One of them is due to have a baby in May so everyone is very excited. They had a special grand opening for vip members and we got to go see it before everyone else. It was really cold so it was kind of miserable but they fed us and had the elephants do some tricks for us. The new habitat for them is really impressive and we hope to go back and see more of it when its warmer A flock of birds were flying around in the trees and Jensen got pooped on ha ha! Me being the great mom that I am didn't clean him off first but took at picture instead.

This is the new elephant mascot named Penny. Everyone voted on that name because the original elephant at the zoo was purchased with pennies donated by school children in the 30's.

This the pregnant one balancing on one foot on a ball. She is 20 months pregnant and if I were that pregnant I'd tell them no way are you getting me to balance on a ball!!

We have a spare room in our new house (thank goodness) and it's for miscellaneous stuff like my scrapbook stuff, books and Jeff's music stuff. He finally got a desk and speakers to have the set up he wants for his music stuff and the boys really enjoy jamming with daddy One day, Jensen was beyond crabby and being a brat so I sent him to his room knowing he probably needed a nap. Sure enough, a few minutes later I went in there and he was asleep on his little spider man couch. Looks really uncomfortable but he slept for over an hour.

We had to take the car seats out of my Jeep for some reason and when I went to put them back in I decided to go ahead and turn Jorden around to forward facing. He seems to enjoy it and make horse sounds when we see horses out the window.

All school year. Jensen's class has been counting how many days smarter they are. I don't remember doing it in school but the 100th day of school is a big deal around here. Kids wear shirts with 100 items stuck on and Jensen had to bring 100 of something to class that day. He chose paperclips. This pic is of him wearing his 100 mask

One Sunday, Jorden decided it was time for Mommy to organize her recipe box so he gave me a head start by emptying it for me! Little stinker

Since brother is 5 Jorden thinks he's just as big so he goes on the tubes and slides at playgrounds all by himself now and loves it. He can also go up the stairs and slide at Mimi's house without help.

Jorden wearing my purple boots Jeff got me for Christmas last year. He really like trying on everyone's shoes
