Animals!

We went to a Nature Reserve and had some FUN!



Big Ostriches greeted us as we drove in, they were VERY close to me!



Here are a few pictures of the boys.






Will wouldn't go behind the board so I just took one of him drinking water. Charlie is in his usual spot, riding in style!




A very friendly deer checking out the baby. The deer liked licking Charlie's toes!




When we first got there we waited to be shuttled around on the tram, while we waited we petted the deer. Will looked totally unimpressed until he saw the Giraffe! Look at how excited he looks!




Being that close to a Giraffe, wow!





Petting a deer, sweet!




Tram ride around the park! We got to touch, pet, and feed the animals. It was awesome, way better than a zoo!





Exciting! Bumpy Ride!












Ostrich Egg, how cool is that?

Sweet Sammy Sam

Here are some videos to help family and friends that don't live closeby to get to know a little of our sweet Sam.


Sam LOVES dinosaurs, I think even saying that he loves them might be an understatement. You can decide for yourself. Here is Sam when I left him alone to tell you all about his favorite dinosaurs.




After viewing Sam's original review of dinosaurs, I thought he could use a little help, so I asked questions and help him open up about his favorite subject, and his favorite TV show.

Daily Life

I haven't put much on here because we have been busy with day to day things. Willy is potty training and him and Joe get into a lot of trouble making messes. One day I tried all morning to go to the park. When I had the baby fed and ready to go, then I would work on getting the rest of the kids motivated to dress and get ready. Plus there was breakfast to make and eat. By the time I had the kids ready then the baby needing feeding. Then when the baby was done eating Willy had peed his pants. Then came lunch. I felt like I couldn't get anything done! Between feeding the baby, getting kids water to drink, changing and cleaning up Will's accidents, dresses kids, making meals... I couldn't get ahead! Some days you just shake your head and wonder what got you out of bed that morning and how you ever got anything done up until this day! Life is sure up and down, and my poor memory can't always remember both so I get really wrapped up in one or the other!

That was last week, then yesterday was a bit more we at least made it to the library before disaster struck!

What a mess! My trip to the library... as I get the kids out of the car Willy tells me he is poopy so I take him in and go directly to the bathroom he got it everywhere even on his shoe, I should have taken his underwear off in the car and changed him the rest of the way in the bathroom. THEN after Will was all dressed in another outfit and cloth diaper, Joe throws up right before the lady calls us in to Spanish storytime. Luckily some Spanish friends were there to help hold the baby and start to clean it up while I rush Joe off to the bathroom to finish throwing up. I rush the kids out of the library to get Joe home and better with Peter and Sam asking WHY WHY!! Joe throws up in the bushes while I get the other kids in the car. THEN on the way home Peter has a bloody nose. So to that point I had had pee, poop, vomit, and blood. I asked Sam if he thought any bodily fluids would be leaking out of his body anytime soon. I couldn't think of anymore fluids I expected or wanted to see that day, good thing I wasn't pregnant amniotic fluid and labor would have really completed the day nicely. What a CRAZY day!Later he threw up his dinner, so today we are home resting... and cleaning!
