The newest members of the family

We got these little Red Clawed Crabs about a week ago and we have all enjoyed watching them ever since! They started out just hiding in the cave but now spend most of their days above water on top of the plants or the filter. One of them has noticeably red claws and his name is Mister Grumpy Stripes named from Wyatt's favorite movie in the whole world, Madagascar! The other crab's claws aren't as red and the poor thing doesn't have a name yet. Daddy is in charge of his name and we have gotten a few names thrown out that get a laugh but don't stick! So, we will just wait and see what else he comes up with!

Earth Day!!!

In trying to make our family live a little greener when possible, I ran across this website and thought I would share. Yellowpagesgoesgreen.org I don't know if you all continue to use the yellow and white pages that are delivered to your door each year but know I haven't opened one in quiet some time. If you go to this website you can cancel your yearly delivery and in doing so save many resources in return. This website explains that over 500 million directories are being printed and delivered each year and in doing so:

• 19 million trees need to be harvested
• 1.6 billion pounds of paper are wasted
• 7.2 million barrels of oil are misspent in their processing (not including the wasted gas used for their delivery to your doorstep)
• 268,000 cubic yards of landfill are taken up
  

Just thought I would share an easy and free way to help out our beautiful mother earth today. Happy Earth Day!!!!

A perfect getaway!!

We went to Fossil Creek to celebrate Jessie's 28th B-day. It was a great day for celebration! The day started off a little cool but then turned perfect. We packed a picnic lunch and set up camp on a sandy beach near the creek. The creek was so clear with greens and blues showing through.

It didn't take long for the little kiddos clothes to start shedding off!
Exploring NatureLoving every minute!!!

Hanging with Papa!

The next day we went to a park near our hotel and did a little fishin!

Wyatt loved messing with his fishing pole.

Playing with the worms. ( Broders doesn't look to sure of these things!)

Wyatt's first time meeting a worm!!! (Cousin Asher makes them look so cool!!!)

There is always something to pout about!!!!!

Thanks Jess for a great weekend!!!! Happy Birthday my sweet sister!!!!
