Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch

About two weeks ago, we went on a field trip with our 4-H group to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch. When we lived in Cleburne, we had a similar wildlife ranch nearby that we went to a couple times. This is the same kind of place, but it was a little smaller. The kids had fun driving around and feeding the animals.


Before we went on the driving tour, we had a class with one of the workers at the ranch. These are giraffe skeletons.



Giraffe facts on the wall. They have a baby giraffe there, and I got a picture of it. But, it's on my phone, and I haven't put the pics on my phone on the computer yet.

None of my kiddos wanted to be in the pic except one. Can you spot her?




I love the look on the face of this deer.








Longhorn and Watusi




This animal made us laugh because it was using its horns to scratch it's back.






Look at the horn on that rhino!





Love it!! Begging for food!






This one looks like it is smiling. :-)

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 ...
