Franklin Park Zoo

We took a field trip to the zoo today, it was so much fun! We picked up cousin Shayla on the way and the kids had a blast.
The gorillas are so fascinating to me. Unfortunatley we witnessed one of the gorillas sit there and eat his own poop or one of the gorillas poop. That was pretty gross but then he strutted it over to the glass window really close up to us and it was amazing to see him look into our eyes, minus the poop still smeared near his mouth, poor guy, why did he eat that? i will have to google that to see if that is normal for gorillas to do. But he just stared at us with these big sad soulful eyes and I couldn't help but picture what we looked like to him, all these faces staring at him, he looked so unphased by us. It was my favorite part of the zoo trip.
Then it was off to Jamacia Plain to get our all time favorito espanol food! So deliciouso!
And back to Nana Zon's house we went and chowed down. We can never stay too long cause poor Max is so allergic to Nana's dog, Sassy. Even with his medicine, he still began to itch and blotch up, my poor guy.
So home we went, right to the tub to scrub my little allergic guy and make him feel all better and itch free.
Here's so shots that Shayla and I took with my camera:


Mr. Camel peek-a-boing:

Miss Zebra grazing in the grass:

How amazing is this, only 1 piece of glass separating us from Mr. Poopy Mouth Cool Gorilla Dude:
This is not the poop eater gorilla, this is his sister, i think:




Big brother Jordan was there to give Little Miss Bella a piggy back when her little legs got tired, thanks Jordan!

We're in the Big League's Now!!!!

April 25th, 2009
Saturday

Jordan and Maxwell Toledo entered the Big League's, really
the Little League's but they were feeling pretty big and special marching down to Saint Mary's Baseball field in their opening day parade!
It was a beautiful sunny morning, rise and shine we were parading at 8:45!
Wally was there from the Red Sox and all the kids looked so cute but I can't help but call these 2 my favorites :)





Maxwell Toledo plays for the " The Chiefs"
Sponsored by Nana's Banana's ~ we think they should of been called "The Banana's" instead of the Chiefs, how cute would that be, come on it's t-ball, they could totally get away with it!




Jordan Toledo plays for "The Washington Nationals", hey it's Washington D.C. so it's kind of close to home. He enjoys hitting and prefers not to catch the ball, he maybe DH if he can swing that bat.




I love you guys!!!!
And GO RED SOX!!!!!

Saturday was a Blast!

We finally got together, us blogger chick's ( that would be Katie, Stephanie and Jenny...oh i mean Jennifer - the profesh new name she likes to go by ) and had such an awesome lunch at this resturaunt called Theresa's. Stephanie and Katie, you go girlzzzzzzz being so wise about your choices of food and having that willpower and strength! You both are an inspiration to me. Jenny and I had to go for the desert and it really was the bomb, I just realized looking through my pictures on my camera, crazily as it sounds, that is the only picture I took on my camera was a picture of the fabulous desert, how sad am I.
But Jenny and Katie got some cutes shots of all of us.
And here we are at Wheatgrass Cafe:

Represent with the artificial wheatgrass ")
Then we attempted to do some wheatgrass shots but curly jones who owns the earthy crunchy very cool cafe Sol Bean Cafe ( which Stephanie soon may be working there with cutes curly...holla!) recommended we don't do the shots on full bellies. So we went with the acai berry smoothie and called it a day. Wish we had more time to chat and laugh and eat, cause you know we could of kept it going but Moms are on time schedules, am i right ladies?? :)
We will plan another trip again soon cause it was just too darn fun not too!
Love you blogger galz soooo much!

Easter Egg Hunt at Jackie Mackie's!

Guess who's baske this is?






Bella and Thumper give loves

Yes, Jackie Mackay is one of my favorite people in this world. I use to babysit her youngest son when I was just 11 years old. I remember my friend Alexyss and I got cpr certified at the whidden hospital and took babysitting classes, so she then entrusted us with her baby boy Andrew. We were so proud to babysit him and take him on walks down Park Ave in the big old fashion boucing carriage that Jackie had. Now years have gone by but it never feels like years have gone by when I am with Jackie. She is awesome!
She so kindly invited us over her house for an easter egg hunt with her adorable granddaughter Alexis. We had a blast! The kids hunted all in her yard for eggs, then we painted little bird houses and had pizza for lunch and Jackie even had the funny string for the kids to spray all over her yard. Also, we got to pat "Thumper", her rabbit and meet "Bella", Alexi's dog who was so sweet.
We had an awesome time and thank Jackie so much for having us over!
We love you, Jackie!!!

And he don't stop!

Yep, little Max broke his wrist last Sunday at Gigi's house playing soccer, landing and bending hard on his left wrist. He cried a little bit after and then fell asleep on the couch, we just chalked it up to be exhaustion since he was up late the 2 nights before. Next morning, he was still in pain and not moving his arm at all, so off for x-rays we went and sure enough, we were pretty shocked !, we really thought it was just a sprain. But, Max's little left wrist had been fractured.
We spent the whole afternoon at the MGH Er and finally came home with a pretty cool red cast, we chose red for the RED SOX! Then once that cast was set, Max was good as new. As you can see, he hasn't slowed down.
We just are keeping our fingers crossed that it heals well and he can be able to play t-ball, it will be his first year playing so we hoping for the best for Max!

jordan & max go red sox

Week In Review

Wow,
I haven't been a good blogger lately. And I am gona blame my back for it. Today is the first day in atleast 2 weeks that I can say I feel better. Thanks to some nice muscle relaxers my doctor prescribed me. I actually thoroughly cleaned the house today and have the energy to go out to the park with the kids.
Miraculously I did lose 5 pounds,,which shocked me right out of my boots ( cause I wear boots these days ) but really it shocked me cause I haven't been exercising at all and then with pms and all that crap I so figured I would of gained. But I weighed in happily and surprisingly 5 pounds less at the nutritionists office and at my house scale. So it is quite encouraging to see the numbers go down and keep on keepin on eating wisely ( most of the time ) and eventually getting active again, even if for now it is just walking, walking is moving and moving is grooving.
This week the boys found out what teams they will be on for baseball and t-ball. Both their first years playing!
Max is on "The Chiefs" and Jordan is on the "Kansas City Royals" and big Daddy is his coach, assistant coach if ya wanna get specific. They will march in the parade opening day, April 25th, Saturday. I am excited to see my little guys all spiffed up in their cleets and baseball caps marching it down the street to Saint Mary's Baseball field. Lets hope for sunshine that day!!!
Did I mention this week, that I lost 5 pounds? I think I did...and


Bella took a trip to the aquarium with big daddy. Of course, he forgot the camera so no pictures of that but they had a blast and Bella loved holding the star fish and said she was "very scared of the sharks", that came close up to her in the big fish tank.


And the kids are very excited for Easter Bunny to hop on down the bunny trail next week and leave some easter eggs for them!
Miss you all and can't wait to bust out for lunch soon!!!
