Alligator Farm

Josh had a four day weekend this last weekend! Yeah, his first day off in a month!
Monday we took the kids to an Alligator Farm.
We all got to hold this 2 year old little alligator. It was surprisingly strong for such a small gator.

As real as this may look Joseph really doesn't have his head in the alligators strong jaws, just Hollywood effects! Ha Ha

Joseph loves they picture boards that you put your head in. They are all over Louisiana. Joseph always wants his picture in them!

The kids scared this alligator so bad it turned white!
Large White Gator

Lots of baby gators!

The kiddos on Sunday just before church.
Joseph is my silly guy lately. He is always saying or doing things that make me laugh.
Like when he prays at night that I wont be so bossy because I had told him that it was time for bed! Or he can stay up late because he is almost a grown up! He is such a fun kid!
This is Joshua's usual expression lately. He is so sweet and loves to cuddle and wrestle. I love that he is talking better and better all the time. He still LOVES "Uncle" or Michael to everyone else! He can also be my most stubborn and defiant child. I know, from the picture it's hard to believe that he can be defiant! But, he is a two year old!
My little Katie is growing up too fast. She has lost all of her baby chub, what little she had as a baby! She is finding that she loves to be in charge, and her brothers don't always like to be bossed around! She is such a tidy,neat, and orderly little girl, she definitely didn't get that from me! She loves to clean and can't do any of her school work out of order, she really can not do things out of order!
My little mud monster!
No, that is not a brown shirt it's MUD!
My kids love mud. Saturday it rained a little and their mud hole filled with water, help with the cups of water add from the house! They played and played in it!
Michael sitting in his "pool". Joshua and Katie were kind enough to help him get even more muddy!

This is the reason I don't keep anything under my kitchen sink!
This silly boy is always sitting in my cupboards. He also loves to pull out all the pots and pans and sit in that one too! It's okay here since I don't have my things to fill them up with, but when we get our house and stuff I'll have to get some locks!!

Just a fun picture of Michael. He is 11 months old today!
We also rode the little train at the Alexandria Zoo.
The kids thought that was really fun!Here is a video at the Alligator farm of the gator feeding!
