Baby Signs

Today in Baby Signs we learned the signs for pets: dog, cat, fish, turtle, bird and rabbit. Evan and Brianna started class discussing which plastic fish tasted best. You can see which one Evan decided on...

Eatin'

Cheese ravioli, vegetables & chicken. Squash, oatmeal & cottage cheese.

Halloween Party Pics

There were some awesome costumes at Jan & Joey's Halloween party last night. Ours was the best, of course ;) There were a lot of "sexy" costumes, much to Brian & Andre's delight. A sexy referee, a sexy Ghostbuster, a sexy beer girl and some other sexy something or others that just entailed short skirts and high heels. But there was only one family costume!!!

Taking the monkey for a walk.
The zookeeper and her keeps. Lucky for them I didn't have to use the whip.

The monkeys in the tree.

Snuggling with the monkey man.

Our host for the night, the midget rocker.

That banana showed up to the wrong party last night.

Andre & Val aka Dog the Bounty Hunter & Beth. Evan thought Val was an all you can eat buffet!!

The monkey broke free!

Almost Halloween!

First Zoo Trip

Don't get too excited...
1. The Phoenix Zoo isn't that impressive.
2. It was hot as forty hells so all the animals were doing what we should have been doing...staying inside.
3. Evan is not quite 8 months so he was more interested in watching the Muranaka kids than any animals.

But, here they are...
The Muranakas don't mess around at the zoo. They come with GEAR. Checking out the big horned sheep (or big orange sheep like I thought Brian was saying for a year. I kept wondering why I had never heard of or seen an orange sheep!) {Yes Mom, I am still getting the tattoo removed...it takes several treatments!} This is how Evan rode for most of the visit...like a gangsta rapper. He's even got the lean. McKayla & Tobi feeding the elephants. Actually it was more like feeding the squirrels since McKayla didn't quite clear the fence with her carrot. McKayla, Evan & Tyler. McKayla trying to convince Evan to wear his hat. This last picture is for Brian. Many of you may remember that Brian swam with a sea turtle on our honeymoon and then his new bride ruined everything by letting the underwater camera go through the security x-ray machine. This is her trying to make amends. I love you!

Miscellaneous Weekend Pics

Evan got a toothbrush in his sign language class last week and he loved it so much I bought some more and now he has a toothbrush in every room of the house! Brush 'em brush 'em brush 'em! Eatin' grass at the park.

Um, you got a little dirt right...there.

Puttin' the moves on McKayla Muranaka. Yeah yuh.

Discovering the joys of coasters. Who knew what fun they could be?

Back at the park on Sunday.
