Another Family Outing

On Presidents Day we took at trip to the Ostrich farm near Tucson. But since dad wasn't able to make it we decided to take him too see all the fun. So the Family took a trip and had a bunch of fun feeding the four different kinds of animals.











Taylor feeding the cute little miniature donkeys.












The last time we went over here Aeden wasn't afraid of the deer, But this time he needed a little bit of help so dad took the honor and held his hand while they feed.













Daxton was loving the deer. He never wanted to leave. I think he tried feeding every one of them.












Mom relaxing with my baby.













Our handsome boys relaxing after the long day of feeding farm animals

















On our way too the Ostrich Farm, Taylor had her IPOD and she decided to share with Aeden. Once he realized what it was that she had he loved it and wouldn't let it go.




















I love this picture, No Devin is not trying to kick the deer. he was kicking the food closer to the deer that dropped out of his cup.

More of Aeden loving the cool music. Mom's country must have been getting old.

Calvin's Conservation Project

Well, I am so glad it is over but yet so mad that we waiting till the last week to get it accomplished. Calvin has a big project for Scouts that he has to do once a year. And so far he has been able to do them the last/first two years. I want him to accomplish them they are great things for the boys to do. They aren't' required but are great learning tools for the boys. Plus great for the environment.

So, Saturday morning we woke up early and went over to a empty field next too Red Mountain Park, and got too work cleaning it up. I never realized how many people take their pets and walk that empty dessert. But people also dump their trash there too so it wasn't' too bad but definitely needed cleaned up.

Taylor had a friend stay the night, so she got the honor of helping us. I told her she could just come for the ride but she jumped right in with the rest of us and was a great help.

So between Taylor, Taylor's friend, Calvin, Tayton, Aeden and Mom we got a lot cleaned up.

Devin hadn't slept too well that night so I let him and Daxton sleep in. But about an hour into it I got a phone call, "Why didn't you wake me up." I really didn't think he would care that he missed it but guess he was. What a great guy I have. Not many men would be upset too miss picking up trash in the desert. But I think it was more just too spend family time together. Not the trash part LOL.

Phoenix Zoo With Babies

Well, Since I am not a fan of the Phoenix Zoo and it costs our family almost $100 to get in. We don't go to the Zoo very often, But thanks to my in laws. We had free passes so we thought we would take the two babies and have a fun free filled day. The pictures are out of order but didn't feel like messing with computer so here you go.

The kids were hot after the four hour walking, So we let them play in the fun water park. Man where was this stuff when we were kids. Daxton had a blast took him a little bit too get used to but after a little help from mom. He was no where to be seen. But Aeden wasn't too happy with the cold water and all the kids splashing him. So he just walked around on the warm squishy ground. Dax found a fun slide and kept peaking his head out of it. Perfect spot for a Kodak moment.

Dad took Daxton into the petting zoo and let him groom the goats. Some were OK with him touching him and then there were others that butted him for getting near them. He wasn't too thrilled with those goats. Neither was Mom kinda scared me too Daxton.

Devin was so excited for the Ray exhibit. Since we hadn't gone to the zoo in many years, this was the first time we saw the exhibit. Was really cool to feel the ray's the boys weren't having anything to do with them. But, since we are mean parents we had them touch them once. And of course they still didn't want them anywhere around. LOL But Devin feed them and he even got a little nervous. And I wish I had been videoing when he jerked. It doesn't happen often that he gets nervous about animals, now Mom on the other hand it happens often. Guess it was kinda my fault that he jumped but owell really funny.

Aeden wasn't too thrilled with the goat so I had to help him pet it. Man when he doesn't want too do something he tightens up his arms and they don't stretch very easily. Imagine that right.

I wanted a pose with the elephant but so did both boys. Not a very good spot but was a lot of fun.

This animal reminds me of Daxton so that is why I took the picture. He loves to store things in his mouth. Except Dax seems to gag LOL plus they are both chunky. Love the baby fat and he seemed to hang onto it a lot longer than the other kids.

This is the two boys posing for the camera Aeden didn't want to stay still so this is the best we could do. But still turned out very cute. Daxton kept telling Aeden CHEESE just smile and we are done. Man he is told that way too much. LOL

The boys checking out the exhibits.

They were so cute next too this frog they both kept touching it like it was going to come alive and jump on them.

Daxton kept asking questions about the rattlesnake, Of course mom kept sending him to dad that is his area. I know about the deer and that is all. LOL. Of course dad was so excited to answer any questions Daxton spit out. But after about FOUR HOURS of it We were both done. We were so excited when he started talking now we need a muzzle.
