Roos-N-More

On Monday we drove out to Moapa with Shaleen and some of her friends to go to a place called Roos-N-More. It is like a zoo but you get to hold or touch most of the animals. The kids enjoyed it and I thought it was pretty cool too so that is always a bonus. Jillian was up for anything, Carter hung back a little and Bennett got a front row seat from his stroller while he snacked (the only way to keep him happy these days!).

Bennett with the baby Lemur



Carter and the Toucan



Can't remember what this guy is called but he was pretty big. He liked to sit on the big peoples shoulders and run across the little people's backs. The kids thought it was hilarious.



Emmy with the baby kangaroo. This was my favorite animal. It was so cute and soft, almost like snuggling a human baby.




Next time I think I will have one of these instead. Less noise and so cute!




Bennett, a little worried about the hedge hog.



Jill with the baby lemur.



The bear cat climbed up to check out Bennett.


Jillian feeding the camel a carrot. She was the only kid who would do this. She volunteered right away and was super brave.





Carter & Joey



Otters, we didn't get to hold them but we got to pet them.




Jill & Joey




Jillian being a sturdy tree for the Toucan.



A little unsure what to do with a monkey on her lap.



This is they animal that ran across the kids backs. He was investigating Bennett's Kix's.





Feeding the kangaroo.



Warming up to the monkey.




Armadillo & Jill. He was pretty neat! See him peaking out?




The monkey liked climbing on Abi!




Jill was loving all the animals.

Mother's Day


I know all these posts are out of order but I am just trying to catch up a little. These are presents from the kids. I loved Carter's poem. It is exactly what we have been doing lately. We planted flowers the weekend before, I started working out, we have been working on calming down & controlling our tempers & I play Bunco once a month. He knows what's going on:).

What I see these days

Bennett is a cute, fun little guy but we have been having more days like this lately!


Sometimes he plays great for a long time!



Then he starts to wonder where I am and why I am not holding him. He follows me around and when I look down I see this.



If I walk away I see this chasing me.


Then this when he catches me.



And if I still don't pick him up I see this accompanied by loud screaming!!!



Good thing I love this guy!! Oh and he is also walking all over now as you can see.
