The Tuscon Zoo

The Tucson zoo is my absolute favorite zoo to visit! It is small enough that little kids can enjoy it and not get to tired. The flamingos are kadies favorite animals, she always says "this is how a flamingo stands" she stands with one leg up and one leg down just like a flamingo does. This time she also really enjoyed the snake exhibit. She couldn't pull herself away from the boa that was there to pet. The boys enjoyed the caymen and the ant eater. Most of the big animals were hiding but we got to enjoy all the little ones this time.

Kadies first broken nose

So Kadie seems to be the one child that always gets hurt in our family. I think it's because she is the only girl and has to fight for what she wants. Trying to get away with what ever she took from one of her brothers she doesn't pay attention to where shes going and she thinks shes invinceable at this age. Well she was at grandmas while I was out to dinner with a friend. She loves to swing on her belly and before Mary knew it Kadie had slid off the swing face first and her hands didn't catch her it was her nose. She landed nose first and then to top it all of the swing came back and hit her in the head :(. Mary put her in the bath to clean her up and noticed that it wasn't getting better so she called me right away. When I got there she was still screaming histerically and her little nose was huge! Black and blue and red where all of the skin was taken off. I felt so bad it had to hurt like crazy. I had Kailee our family nurse come look at it for me and put ice on it to help the swelling. Today it looks not as bad as I thought it would I took some pictures of it. The pictures arn't great it is a little hard to see but you can see the swelling. I hope that it heals ok because no girl should have a bump on her nose.

4th of July Weekend in Pinetop

Our family went to Pinetop for the weekend to enjoy some friends who play in the Renegades and to have some fun family time. We watched the parade then went go cart racing on Saturday. That night we drove 45 min to Sunrise to watch the fireworks over the lake. We didn't expect it to be so cold (50 degrees) we were very unprepared. After 45 min of waiting, everyone was done so we packed up and left. We didn't get to see any fireworks but no one seemed to mind. Warmth took over wanting to see fireworks. We made it in time for my lil Ayden to dance with all the girls. He became quite the ladies man. He loved asking all of the older ladies to dance. I think they loved it as much as he did. Kadie also thought she was the center of attention. Dancing in the middle of the dance floor and shakin her tooshie. Everyone had an amazing time.
