My Birthday, Seaworld and the Zoo!

But before we get started on an undeniably cute picture-fest, I have something to say! I got bit in the face by a dog yesterday (a lab mix) and it hurts really bad! Luckily he was old and his teeth were dull so I just have a yucky bruise. But since hopefully everyone feels sorry for me I decided the only thing that would make me feel better is to post these flattering pictures of people I love! Hopefully it'll brighten your day too.



Oh ok I feel sorta bad so here's one of me too.

Right after I got all 4 wisdom teeth pulled--fun!

Anyway--First I will start with my birthday! Sean and I went to Knott's Berry Farm! Sadly Sean hurt his back on the first ride we went on (Ghostrider, a wooden roller coaster), and had to sit out the heavy-duty coasters for the rest of the day. The day was still wonderful though--we had an awesome time and I had the best birthday I'd had for years!

Here's one of the only pictures we took. We got an "official" picture, but it's not digital.

Here's Matt at Seaworld at the tide pool. He liked it a lot! I think the manta rays sorta creeped him out though.

These guys creeped ME out. They're mooray eels, and they just stare...and stare...

A ha! Dad's distracted--finally! What's in here? Something expensive? My toddler senses are tingling...

Last week, I took Matt to the zoo. We had a lot of fun! I like our mommy-son days--gotta enjoy them while they last!

Matt and a hippo. The hippo is also adept at posing as you may be able to see.

There was this peacock wandering around the elephant exhibit, and Matt was very interested. He hasn't seen many birds up close and took this opportunity to get close and personal (under my careful supervision of course).
But just when he was getting too close, with a big WOOSH the bird opened it's feathers and turned toward Matt.

He did not like that. At all. But no one was hurt and I was able to get some stunning pictures!

Matt races the cheetah. Ready...set...banana! Gotcha!

Also, it's spring...sorta..and all the ducklings were out!

Matt liked looking at the ducklings a lot. I think they remind him of Ming Ming from Wonder Pets (one of his favorite shows)

Cute!
Anyway, it's time for his nap! We are taking it easy today because tomorrow is Sean's birthday and we're going to Disneyland!
