Meet Zeke

We added a member to our family yesterday. The boys have been begging for a puppy since we gave Bauzer away. So...we gave in! We got a miniature schnauzer. He is 12 weeks old. We are keeping him in the house but so far everything is going great. Austin named him Zeke because he said he had to have a name that started with a letter in Bauzer's name. (I don't know why but whatever!) I'll post more later-got to go take him to potty! :)

Ouch!!!

This is Austin's reaction to a hornet sting. He got stung on the cheek Sunday afternoon and I took this picture Monday morning. When he woke up Monday morning his eye was completely swole shut. I took him to the doctor and he acted like as long as it wasn't infected I shouldn't be worried and to keep giving him benedryl. This morning it looks better; at least he can open his eye.


And this is Kamden's reaction. Every time I give Austin medicine, Kamden tells me "I got fever, I got stung by a bee too!" So once he gets his attention & 'medicine' he is good to go!



Kamden is 3 now and he will quickly remind you. Yesterday I called him baby and he told me "you don't say baby you say bigger!" He had a great birthday, he got a Spiderman bike which he LOVES and lots of money. The first card he opened was from Kinley, his best friend from Tyler, and it had $3.00 in it. He was so excited he kept telling us "I got three hundred dollars!!!".

"I'm 3!"

On his birthday we went to a Safari Wildlife Refuge/Rescue here in Broken Arrow. We really enjoyed it. They rescue exotic animals from people that decide they can no longer have them or afford them as a pet. They had tigers, lions, wolves, a zebra, peacocks, farm animals, monkeys and many other animals. We got to feed most of them even the tigers & lions!



This is a liger. It is half lion, half tiger; hence the name 'liger'. They were feeding him from about 7 feet. As you can see, he was HUGE.

This is a full grown alligator but because it was born in polluted waters in Florida it's growth was stunted.


This is one of Mike Tyson's tigers they rescued when he got into financial trouble and couldn't afford to keep them. It is an albino tiger.



The new bike!
