Then we went on a safari and Brody was able to feed a giraffe, and see lots of animals up close and personal.
Then we walked around and looked at all the animals. You can get so close to the animals its amazing. Brody and Cade loved it.
The last thing we did was take the boys on a camel ride. They loved it!! Brody wouldn't stop calling it a horse but it was his favorite thing. (p.s. please don't forget i am prego and thats why it is not a flatering picture of me!!)
We had alot fun activities for the boys. We made sugar cookies, went for walks, but two of their favorites were of course blowing bubbles. I was smart this time to buy each boy their own bubbles so they didn't spend the whole time fighting over the wand.
And the boys of course loved throwing rocks into the river. They could have spent all day throwing rocks!!
Here is our yearly picture of all who went. I know, i know we are one HOT looking group of people!! JK
A couple of Saturdays ago Chelsea and I took the boys up to see "Omie and Papa" in payson because our husband were off snowmobiling in Wyoming (can't believe they left us behind)!! Anyways we went to the payson airport and had McDonald's kids meals and watched the planes take off. The boys loved every minute of it, and Brody peed on his first tree (i didn't want to run all the way to bathroom, i know lazy). The rest of the day any time he had to go he asked if he could go on a tree. Lets just say he watered many trees that day in Payson.
Once a month Cassidy and I are going to try to spend one Saturday doing activities that the boys will enjoy (other wise we are working on our house, which is no fun for the boys). So this last Saturday we went out to chandler and went to a bubbles party. There were all kinds of wands and buckets full of soapy water. Brody and his cousin Hardy loved it, Cade wasn't to sure.
Brody got pretty good being a able to blow bubbles.
Then we went to the park and played, Cade loves going down slides.
Then we had lunch at the chandler airport, the restaurant is right on the runway so can see the planes come and go. Brody was always concentrating on the planes and making sure he wasn't missing any action, he loved it.
As we were leaving we let all three boys seat in an airplane, it was the highlight of there day. Leaving was not fun, 3 boys throwing fits because they wanted to stay and hang out in the plane!!
Cade turned one early this month, and as you can tell he had a "bug" themed birthday party. Ok if you can't tell his cake is a caterpillar, his present is a lady bug, and then the balloons are lady bugs and bee's, and then his high chair is suppose to be a bee. I know cheesy!!
Cade wasn't sure about all the presents or why everyone was staring at him but he had his big brother to help him!
Finally after all the presents were opened he started to act like he was having a good time.
Singing happy birthday, i know, i know such a cute cake!!
And boy did he enjoy it!! He didn't beat around the bush when it came to eating his cake he picked up the whole piece and went to town. Happy Birthday Cade!!
To surprise Cassidy for Valentines day i cooked a gourmet lunch. We had steak, twice baked potato, garlic cheese biscuits and strawberry spinach salad, yum, yum!! Then for desert i dipped strawberries in chocolate and order a piece of cheesecake from the cheesecake factory. And of course to top it off IBC root beer. It was a hit, after almost every bite Cassidy would say "This is so good!" It was a success, so now you ladies know that the real way to a mans heart is a good home cooked meal!!
