Mocha is 9 yearls old!

 Yesterday we celebrated our sweet little Mocha!  It was her ninth birthday - Joshua was thrilled, Nick was exuberant, Daniel and Keisha were pumped.  Joshua worked very hard the night before to make homemade doggy biscuits for Mocha to enjoy.  Randy brought home McDonald's for everyone to enjoy - even Mocha gobbled up a cheeseburger mixed into her dog food :)

We had a scavenger hunt, enjoyed cupcakes, ran around and played and even watched Mocha open her presents.  It's always fun to take time to celebrate the little things in life!!  Happy Birthday Sweet Mocha!

Happy Halloween 2010

We're REALLY behind on blogging these days. Mommy keeps thinking about shutting the blog down and then someone asks for pictures to be updated. So, who knows what will happen - mommy is hoping she gets a new flashdrive for Christmas to store her pics on to make blogging much easier...we'll see. Anyway, here are a few snapshots from a very fun halloween - enjoy!

I was an adorable Lion

Daddy and Mommy were just plain silly

Aunt Joan made great desserts

We like to party!

Cody Erickson

My Aunna just brought home a new doggy! I went to meet him today and he is a great dog - meet Cody Erikson a Collie/Spitz mix =)

Zoo Tots II at the Detroit Zoo

My mommy enrolled me in a six week class at the Detroit Zoo and today was our third class. We've learned about animals in North America, Australia and Africa so far. The pics from Australia are still on my mommy's phone, but here some pics from today's class. It is a lot of fun and well worth waking up a bit earlier!!!



Here I am holding a part of a giraffe's vertebrae
Checking out giraffe pelt - it was very silky smooth

The zebra pelt was really neat and I learned that Zebra's aren't black and white - they are dark brown and white.

These peacocks were funny - the peahens were all around also.

The best part was enjoying time with Katie and Jabari. Katie is a giraffe keeper and Jabari is a two year old giraffe. He was SO CLOSE to us and we loved it. I asked Katie how long baby giraffes stay in their mommy's tummy - 18 months!!! I also asked what sound a giraffe makes and learned that they are the only mammals that don't make an audible sound. Scientists are wondering if they make a sound that only they can hear. Mom was really impressed with my questions! =)

Check out that tongue!!!

The Silverback Gorilla was rather animated today =)

The chimps were out and about as well - we even seen one shaking a tree - it was funny!

Here is a Zoo Boo sneak peak...I can't wait for next weekend!!!

We made migration prints today for our craft - I loved the gorilla print =)

As we walked to our car we seen hundreds of seagulls flying overhead so mom threw me into the car to avoid the possibility of getting pooped on - well, mom was my hero because one of them pooped on her!!!! I laughed a lot and she did to after she got it off of her face, sunglasses, and then took her sweater off - gross!
