lil critter hour

the other day i was looking at the local library website and saw that they were having a program called lil critter hour. i thought it would be fun to take the kids too. So we called and registered and got everything organized!
the couple giving the presentation did a great job. the lucky boys got to sit right up front. because b was in a stroller, we had to wait out in the hall, but luckily there were big glass panels, so i still got pics!
here are the snakes. can you see cullan in the bottom left corner? he was very excited. so was kael for that matter, i just could not get him in the picture.
this is a tarantula. that is about all i have to say about that. even behind glass i could care less about seeing it. i am not a big spider person. the boys loved it. so that is all that mattered.
i spy with my little eye....lots and lots of kids! can you spot mine? they are there, you just have to look close.
these were pretty cool lizards that would just lay on the chests of the owners. it looked like they were giving them hugs. that is what kael said anyways.
kael thought this bird was HILARIOUS!! it would bob its head and speak. it would squawk really loudly. kael was practically rolling on the floor he thought it was so funny. that is him with the red and blue strip shirt on. right up front of course...when there are animals involved there is really no other place he would rather be.
kael was in heaven during the petting portion. here he is in his green boots, petting a snake. (the whole way home he was listing off reasons why we needed a snake as a pet) it did not work.
they also had turtles. another favorite. i did not get him petting them, but you get the idea.
i missed cullan petting things because he was further back in line. he thought the whole thing was pretty cool as well. here he is petting the snake at the end of the line.
B pretty much hung out in the stroller the whole time. it was nap time when we went so she was not to interested in any of what was going on.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
