The Desert Museum

Wow, two new posts in one day!! Last weekend, we went to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum which lies in the mountains west of Tucson. It's called a museum, but it's actually more like a Desert zoo!! Anyway, my mom and I took the kids to it a few days ago and we took a couple of pictures.

Here's Adam in a cave at the Museum. Man, they grow up fast.

I'm holding Logan while Adam's sipping on his smoothie about 5 feet away from a mountain lion (through the glass behind us).

This is on the other side of the glass. My mom and Adam stand in front of the mountain lion habitat with the wiley cat right above them, ready to perch!!

Alright, Adam and Logan are posing in front of the ground squirrels!!

"So you see, this plate of rice is like the evolutionary soup that we came from. We all started as single-celled organisms that resembled the shape of this very rice..."

"I love crackers!!"

And finally, I wanted to put this video in because it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I think it's even funnier for me because my 2-year old (up until a couple of weeks ago) was deathly afraid of this thing. I wanted to get some video of Logan (~9 mos.) chasing Adam (~2 years), but alas he's no longer afraid of it. Anyway, enjoy!!


Here Comes the Bride (and Groom)!!

Okay, okay. So I still haven't developed the pictures from the disposable camera from the zoo trip. It might never happen. I've just gotten too used to the convenience of digital. Anyway, my brother got married a few weeks ago and I had a few pictures from that, so here goes.This is my youngest brother Caleb and his new wife, and also my chairside assistant, Sarah. Her dress has a flowing, life-like train of human hair. It's all the rage in Tucson right now.

This is Adam who used to like to ride his bike with the handlebars backwards. He has since learned the correct way. This was actually a week before the wedding.

This is Erin and Adam at the Costco Home store right after the luncheon. Adam loves to golf...or do pretty much anything with any type of ball.

To end this post, here's my grandma Ethel and I. She is one of my favorite people in the world. I lived with her my Freshman year of college (her house was right by the U of A) and we were able to share many good times together. Congratulations Caleb and Sarah on your new union. Now, get busy and start working on some cousins for my kids to play with!!!
