Visit with the Mecham's

Last weekend we went to see Michelle and Dan and their new baby in Derby Kansas. Lisa was out helping Michelle so we were able to see her as well. Their baby Stephen is so cute and do is their other son Dallin. We went for a walk to the park and had dinner with them. Analise was in heaven to be able to hold such a tiny baby. Brett enjoyed playing with Dallin who is 18 months. We are lucky to only live a few hours away form them. Hopefully we can see them again soon.

Thunderico

We got a African Desert Tortoise around Christmastime. Maurey really wanted one. Gail was able to get us one. So Michelle was going to Arizona and agreed to bring him back to us. He is really cute. He is about the size of a tennis ball. He loves to bathe in his sun lamp. When you talk to him he pokes his head out of his shell to look at you. They say when he reaches adulthood he should be about 75-100 pounds. the kids really enjoy him and he is a very low maintenance animal. It will be fun to watch him grow.

And More Catching Up!

I am almost caught up with the happenings for this year and part of last year. In October we went to the Jenks aquarium in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The kids really like it. Aunt Brenda went with us . It was Analise's Birthday. Here are a few of the pictures.

Still Catching Up!

Playing a little bit of catch up. Last month(Feb) we went to the polar bear plunge at Boomer Lake. It was freezing. This event was to help benefit the special olympics. People signed up to jump in the lake. The kids had a really good time. The SWAT team did it also and before they went in they lit off smoke bombs and hand grenades. Brett thought that was really cool and still talks about it. We also got "Heart Attacked" by the activity girls in our ward. They decorated our door really cute and left some goodies.

These pictures were also taken at Boomer Lake. It was an unusually warm day so we decided to feed the geese. They are such pretty animals. It is fun to watch them fly and land and listen as they gaggle. There are some good things here in Stillwater.
