Fossil Rim and Temple

One of these days I am going to remember to upload pictures in the right order. Anyway, this past Saturday we went to this place in Glen Rose called Fossil Rim. It is a wildlife center where you can drive your own car around a 9 1/2 mile trail and see all sorts of interesting animals mostly from Africa. You can also buy a bag of food to feed the animals. It is so amazing! Most of the animals will just walk right up to your car and stick their heads in. They even let you feed the giraffes right out of your hands. It was a really neat experience. Teeny had a really great time.

That afternoon we decided to drive up to the Dallas Temple to walk around and show Teeny and Monster. It is such a beautiful building! Hopefully soon, we will be able to get up there without the kids and do some temple work. I really miss going to the temple; it has been so long since we have been.

Obviously, the pictures are completely out of order. :)




Daddy took this cute picture of Teeny on one of the benches.



I don't like this picture of me, but I think the kids look adorable.

I thought these flowers were really pretty



All these pictures with the dinosaurs are part of an advertisement for Dinosaur World, which is also in Glen Rose. They were just outside Fossil Rim, and Teeny wanted to take pictures with them.





Below are some pictures from Fossil Rim.








We have more pictures of other animals, but they are on the video camera right now. I think we have pictures of us feeding the giraffes. We also saw rhinos and cheetahs, but both animals were in fenced off areas. I don't remember if I actually got pictures of them or if I just got the video. Anyway, we had a really fun time. Maybe if you come visit, we can take you there.

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
