Baby Animal Day 2008

Last year we started going to the super fabulous (and germ infested) baby animal day here in Blackfoot. The kids always have a great time and I usually get great pictures... this year was no exception. Tiff, Karter and Kylie came with us and apparently I was the only one who forgot to wear my big girl panties... I would NOT touch the snakes! Karter totally tricked me last year and said that if I touched the big yellow thing that he would touch it... well he didn't, so I touched a snake for nothing. This year it was a whole new ballgame!

Yep, not one snake, but two!!! What a stud! Then the girls got in on the snake action... Even Kylie!

She cried when the snake man took the snake away from her!!! This was not the best part... Tiff lost her marbles somewhere between the baby chicks and baby rabbits and decided that maybe she should get in on the snake action... Then she got a little bit braver (crazier)...

(notice the faces on the woman and the little girl standing behind Tiff)

This was my favorite moment of the entire day. The "Oh Sh*%!" moment. Also known as the moment Tiff found her damn marbles!

There were also lots of cute and cuddley things there, but really, how can you beat that face?!

Oh, yeah. Griffin told her dad that she got to touch a hairy goat boobie and make milk come out! Sorry about the excellent picture of the goat's hind quarters. How embarASS ing for her!

As you can imagine at the end of the day ( and every five minutes during the day) I was running around with hand sanitizer like a crazy woman.. not the kind of crazy woman that holds a snake, though.

Back to Blogland!!!!

Whew! So we have survived through dance competitions, work recognition events, and the first trimester of pregnancy... not bad!

Lexi did amazing on her solo last weekend in Bear Lake! She got queen for her division which = a tiara and and diamond necklace! Her scores from the judges were great and her dance teacher was SO proud of her... she said it looked like she had been dancing and doing solos for years (reminder, this is our first year of dance and Lexi's first ever solo).

Getting ready to go on...

Rocking it out!!!

Some girls are just meant to wear tiara's...

Griffin did great at the competition also, but it was a VERY long day... we had to be there at 7 am and we left at about 7 pm.

She took little cat naps whenever she could... where ever she could! Poor thing. This was right before her last dance and she had sleep lines on her face! :-)

We had a busy time this last weekend as well. We were off to spend our stimulus check (thanks Pres. Bush). Griffin got a new mattress and both the girls got new bed sets. Griffin was so excited she went to bed at 6:45 on Sat night! Funny girl. I was sort of bummed because I lost my snuggle buddy! Justin is on graves, so Griffie would keep me company on the nights he works... now she is just so snuggly in her bed, so I'm out of luck! Any-who, here are pics of their beds...

Griffin's new bed!!! Apparently it's the most comfy bed EVER IN LIFE!

Lexi's new PURPLE bed set. I have been informed by her that purple is the color of royalty, you know...

We also went to baby animal day on Sat, but I will post pictures of that a little later... baby is getting hungry!
