Rachel & Zuri's Visit

My sister, Rachel, and her 15mo old, Zuri, came to visit a few weeks ago. We had an awesome time!!! Jon Scott and Zuri played really well together. It was so neat seeing the little cousins getting to "play". As soon as they got here my girls wanted TauntTaunt to go swimming! Zuri had to get her sunglasses on before she would go outside! She's startin' young!!! She kept her sunglasses on for a very long time!! I'm amazed b/c I couldn't get my kids to keep a silly bow in their hair much less a pair of sunglasses!!

Here's another cute story: Zuri would bend down at the side of our pool, point and say "NO blablabla". Rachel interpretted for us..."No Diving". The reason for that is, at Zuri's neighborhood pool it says "No Diving" on the sides and she points at it and says it when she swims at home!! "NO DIVING" So now we all say "NO DIVING" and laugh b/c it reminds us of our sweet litle LIFE GUARD ZURI CATE!!!

During their visit we took all the kids to the Keller Williams Office, Target, the Children's Museum and that's about it!! We were so worn out that we pretty much just let them all play in the backyard which they enjoyed the most I think! While we were at Target the babies rode in the baby buggy. We took pics of them swinging their arms at each other and laughing!! Which didn't last long b/c they felt they needed their freedom to explore our TARGET!! At the Children's Museum they fell in love with hula hoops and the Krogers grocery store! Zuri even tried to STEAL two hula hoops!! She grabbed them and started walking toward the doors!! Lastly, they ran around Keller Williams like a couple of Real Estate Agents just babbling!!!! "Buy Sell, Buy Sell" Too Sweet!!!

Amelia wanted to wait until Zuri got here to have her 4th birthday party! Zuri was so excited that Amelia got a Dora bike!! When Amelia wasn't on it we rode Zuri around on it and she loved it! Amelia also got sidewalk chalk for her birthday! She loves coloring on our sidewalks!

While Zuri was here the girls put colorful stripes in their hair. Of course Amelia thought Zuri needed some as well. She let us do a few before she started fussing at us!!!!

Then the morning before they left Zuri decided to take one more swim! So her taunt (that's me) had to change her outfit!! But it was worth it she said!!! We were so sad to see her (and her mama) go but we know there will be a next time!! We luuuuuuuvvvvvv you Zuzu Maroooooooo!!!!
