Zora's Easter Egg Hunt

Zora had a lot of fun finding Easter Eggs. We did the hunt early because we wanted it to be separate from the actual Easter Sunday.

Portland Zoo

Also in Oregon, we went with some of Zora's cousins to the zoo along with Zora's aunt Sherry and her friend.
This was the petting zoo.

Here we are with the elephants.
John thought I should get a picture with the hippos. I wonder why?
This was our safari. Zora liked the zebras.

The best part was at the end. We went into an enclosed area with tons of birds flying around. We bought some nectar for a dollar and the birds came and landed on our arms to drink out of the cup. Zora loved this, but the birds kept splashing her with nectar!

OMSI

During John's Spring Break, we went to Oregon to visit family and we took Zora to OMSI (Portland's museum). Here's a few pics. First we went throught the Da Vinci exhibit:

Then we took Zora to the kid's museum where she played in water.
Then we took her over to the sand section. We didn't plan very well! Water and sand sure make a mess.
She loved the big goldfish more than anything else.
This is a tower she and John built together. She couldn't reach much higher.
Zora is creating something out of slime.

Zora loves to do this...

Zora takes after her dad!

So Zora made me laugh pretty hard the other day. We were both on chairs in the dining room when I heard Zora make a tiny fart. I reacted by saying Zora in a stern voice and giving her a serious shocked look as if I couldn't believe she done that. She pauses for a minute as if she has done something wrong and then in a high-pitched adorable Zora voice, she says, "POO POO!" I thought it was so funny that I couldn't keep a straight face anymore and started laughing. The things they pick up on!

In addition to this, another day, we were having Family Home Evening. We were playing a game with some pictures of the family and our cat. Of course she wanted to look at all the cat pictures and kept saying "kitty" and "meow." Then she pointed at John and said, "Meow." And out of the blue, she turns to me, points her finger directly at my nose and says, "Moo!" which is another of her favorite words. I guess that means I'm resembling a cow more and more with this pregnancy.

Birthday Fun

Lori, Larry, and Lucy came to visit for my birthday. Zora loved seeing them again. Here's the birthday cake!

What Zora's been up to lately!

So this is what Zora's been up to-She's definitely keeping us busy!We had fun making cookies together.
She climbs on everything. This is her latest trick!
I learned you never leave a toddler alone for a few minutes with a blueberry smoothie. It's more fun to smear than drink.
