The Zoo!!

Saturday we took the kids to the Tucson zoo. It was the smallest zoo I think that I've ever been to, but I like that. It only took us about 2 hours to see the whole zoo, and that's moving at our kids slow pace! Blah Blah Blah.....

Anyways here are some pictures!

Me and the kids in a big "dinosaur" egg.

The escaping tortoise!!


This was the best part of the zoo, the giraffe feeding! I've seen similar things at other zoo but this was too cool to pass up. There is a platform that you walk out on so your up by the giraffes heads and feed them. It cost $2 for 2 little biscuit things and I thought they would try to make you pay for each of the kids and we are much to cheap for that, but they let all 6 of us in for $2. Josh broke the biscuit up for the kids to share and they each got liked, and got to pet them. I was surprised none of my kids were scared.








The kids thought they were neat before they saw that you could feed them!

We're Still Here!!

We are loving Sierra Vista! So far Josh's training has been great. He has been home by 2 or 3 everyday and he has been home every weekend! He has to start his days early and will soon have to start working a 12 hour shift, yuck! We all wish he always had these hours.





At night before Josh and I go to bed we always go in and check on our kids. It's like playing hide-n-seek every night! When we put them in bed they are nicely tucked into their beds. Joshua especially falls asleep in odd places. We find him in closets, under bed, in small corners, buried under toys, blankets, or something, in the bathroom, hallway, laundry room, or family room. Often he ends up asleep on the tile! Here is where we found him one night! Good thing Michael wasn't in bed yet!! He had stacked up buckets to make himself a latter!



Katie is pretty good at staying in her bed now.



Joseph lately has been going head first down his tightly tucked in blankets. By the time we pull him out he's pretty sweaty!



The weather here is so nice! It has rained quit a few times. I think that we are an odd family ( by the looks people give us!). We love to take the kids out playing in the rain and run through the water in the street when ever it rains! It's pretty cold but the kids love it!












We took our kids to the Children's Museum in Tucson. They had so much fun!



While walking around we found Miss America sash and all! We thought it was so funny we had to get a picture! Josh and I decided that when we play games the winner gets to pick what the loser has to where to the store!! It would be pretty funny, as long a I win!


The museum had a play grocery and kitchen that the kids had a lot of fun with.







The very best part was the huge moving DINOSAURS!!! Joseph especially loved it and wanted to go back about every 20 minutes or so! He was also scared to death of the big T-Rex!




Katie lost her first tooth august 5th!! We were eating caramel and decided that she must have swallowed her tooth. We search for a long time for it and never found it. We figure that it went down with the bite of caramel in her mouth! Oops! She wrote a cute note to the tooth fairy.
