Sophie and Xander's Birthday Extravaganza

As always we had a fabulous time celebrating Sophie and Xander's birthdays. This year a cool zoo man came with a huge collection of assorted reptiles and other animals that we all got to hold. Jeremy and the girls love it and want to hold everything, Jaydon was not all that interested and we got him touching one animal or so. And...for those who knew me when I was younger you may find this shocking but although I don't have photo evidence (my friend Asia does, I swear) I also held a snake!

Thanks Asia and Craig for hosting us and for such a wonderful party. Thanks Sophie and Xander for celebrating another cool birthday.

Reptile Man

We went Jaydon's school to see the Reptile Man. For those of you who know me well this is a huge step for me! Jeremy was out of town so I bit the bullet, it was great. We had fun and I am getting so much better with my former phobia of snakes. 

The Reptile Man does a presentation with a bunch of different animals.

Then he gets out his alligator, python and tortoise for pictures. The kids enjoyed holding the alligator!

I held the snake people!

Jaydon took these photos of me, this was my victory, wow I can't believe I did that look
