I cannot believe I missed the second day...........

Honey and I have been sick for a week now. So, I took yesterday off. I stayed in bed, drank tea and watched movies all day.... I feel much better today.

Shrimp playing in a tournament in San Diego last weekend. We have this weekend off and then we are in Hemet next weekend. Mater has been with his Mom all week, and we miss him. Luckily for us he comes home tomorrow! Yea! Can't wait to see him. Honey bought Cars 2 Tuesday night and we are planning a movie and popcorn night Friday night!!! He is turning into such a boy! Loves to climb, scares his Nono (me) to death!! 

Tomorrow we are going to see our second taping of the Doctors.  Honey and I had so much fun the last time we went and while we were at lunch in Hollywood we saw this bit of handsomeness:

Mark Valley yummy!!!

When Bird meets Mater......

Friday night we took Mater to the Jethawks game. He loves baseball, everything about baseball. He and Nana (Honey) watch baseball games at the breakfast table (yea iPad!!) He didn't miss a KHS game this past season. (KHS varsity made to CIF for the first time ever in school history, which is only about eight years now, however they lost in the second round) Anyway, the only thing  he loves more then baseball, oh yea and motorcylces, is KaBoom the Jethawks mascot.  So, enjoy the above video (shot with a Sprint EVO)

Practice shots with the new camera......

 I am loving my new camera!! There is a little bit of a learning curve, getting used to where everything is now located, but I am muddling right along!!

Mater's Day at the Zoo...

He has his diapers and wipes in that backpack......

In the shot below, he was being an elephant......

SOOC Sunday....

Here is my SOOC shot.

 We took Mater to the zoo and he had so much fun!!! Pictures of him tomorrow - today is all about the animals!! This guy was magnificant! My edited shots are below...

Amazing.....

 This trip (because we got passes for the year....Yippee!!) were the zebras and the flamingos!!

I love statues....

He is about 13 feet tall and fabulous!!

This shot is for all my east coast friends! This weekend was Snow Days at the zoo...they trucked in snow for several of the animal exhibits. Ok, take a moment and reflect on that.....it was a wonderful 70* and crystal blue skies.... 

In the aviary...where we saw NO birds....

The Entrance, right, I know!! Duh....

 They have beautiful new area for the elephants...This guy just happened to be the closest for a good shot...

 

Great timing for this shot...the chimps were ummmmm, playful. I will spare you the compromising postion shot and the pooping chimp shot!!! You are welcome.....

For this shot, I was standing behind a crowd, on the other side from where these guys were and used all the telephoto power my poor camera had.. Not bad...

And my other favorite........The color on these animals was amazing..... 

Mater squealed and laughed and pointed and ate and ate and ate!!! His spotlight tomorrow!!

If it walks like a duck....

We took Mater to Apollo Park Saturday.  Then it was lunch with Nona and Nana. 

 Above is my heart, Mater. And below is my heart and soul, Honey.

 One final shot of the day, and then I am off to take the first of THREE tests this week! Yup, three tests and two papers!! One paper is done and I will finish paper two tonight!! Love college!
