Rabies!!!!!

Watch out!  He has Rabies!

Eli has such an independent streak.  He gets that from his mothers side of the family!  I was feeding him some yogurt and after a few bites he decided he was done with me feeding him and so I let him feed himself.  He looks like Ole' Yeller got ahold of him.

Day at the Zoo, Saturday, August 4th, 2012

It was sure hot at the zoo.  We were over 100 so the kids loved the mist machines and fans around the zoo.  It was a lot of fun to see the Jazz Bear and to get his autograph.  The animals were, for the most part, fairly lethargic due to the heat.  We still had a fun Saturday afternoon hanging out with Sal and her kids, Ryan and his kids and Ryan's brother and his kids.

Eli was most displeased that we passed him off to a huge furry thing.

Watch out for the Rhino's horns.

These statues are made of metal.  They run cold water through them so they don't burn all the children touching and sitting on them.

The polar bear was neat.  He was pretty active.  He was probably on a sugar high since he was eating a frozen watermelon.

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb.

Kanyon had the temperament of an Ape that day.  Smile kid.  Life is fun.

Emma is getting so big.  She is nearly the size of an adult female gorilla.

Katelyn and Noah measuring up to the gorillas.

Lana was not too pleased with her rice bowl.  JK!  I just caught her with a funny face.

Katelyn and Emma watching the Girafffes.

The big daddy gorilla has nothing on my awesome size and strength.  I have a super sexy mate too!

One big old fat bubba.

Awesome statue.

What a bunch of cuties!

Here is a video of Eli walking down the hall.  He is growing up so fast.  He doesn't even crawl anymore, it's just walk, walk, walk all over the house.  He is funny 'cause he thinks he can go faster than his little legs and balance can handle so he ends up turfing it every once in a while.

Eli rocking out with Kate's microphone.  It was hilarious.  He sang and sang for quite a while.

It was so cute that I had to get some footage of it.

This was a video I shot a few weeks ago when Eli was taking his first steps.

Kanyon getting his blood drawn.

 Kanyon wanted to earn some quick money to buy his snake so he joined a clinical study.  He was super brave when they sucked him dry of all his blood.

Lana was out of town so I had all the children with me.  Since we were in Salt Lake we met up with Trevor afterwards to go to lunch.  It was a fun little afternoon trip.
