Reid Park Zoo!

We visited the Reid Park Zoo one sunny afternoon in Tucson! Unlike the Seattle Zoo the habitats let you see the animals! Here are some pictures of what we saw!!

Joshua and some elephants...

Tiger! Hope those wires hold!

Tortuga! Turns out it's an animal and not just a place for Tex-Mex and margaritas!

Peacock!

This elephant looks happy...

Giraffe!

A rhinoceros with two big horns!

Two ostrich...

What's black and white and red all over?
A sunburned zebra!!

The King of the Jungle! Actually he kind of looks like Scar...

Joshua was able to feed a giraffe during our visit. Look at the size of that tongue!

Here'a another shot... Joshua actually did pretty well giving him that breadstick!

Family picture!

Black bear!

Christmas in Tucson!

Here are some pictures from Grandma and Grandpa Naumann's house during our stay in Tucson!

All set for Christmas Eve Mass! The last time I went to church I had a GREAT time!! I managed to throw a plastic toy at the priest who stopped mass to pick it up! He then brought it back to Dad and asked Dad if he had any pockets! Funny... we haven't been back to that church...

Family picture with Chris' family and Grizzly Adams... oh wait, that's Uncle Andy! Didn't anyone bother to buy him some scissors and a razor after last year's Christmas photo?

Joshua panting and going to pet Gadget on the nose...

Mom and Joshua opening presents!

Hee, hee, hee... It's funny because it's true!

Uncle Mike getting ready to open his gift!

What's this?! No gift? Just a box with some tissue paper?

Ah ha! The gift was hidden under the bow! That Chris sure is clever!

Chris opening a (well?) wrapped gift from Mike and Andy!

Christmas at Mimi's!

Here are some photos from our Christmas celebration at Mimi's!

It's so much more than a collander!

Christmas at the Bellamy's!

We spent one day with the Bellamy's and Joshua was able to meet Briley. Heather also saw her high school/college friends Melanie and Brad with their two kids. Here are some pictures from the day...

Look at all these GREAT new toys!

Showing Mimi how to be a future rock star!

Playing with the SILENT version of the air-ball popper!

Heather, Joshua, and Mimi!

Watch out Joshua! That Mimi is going to get you! Personally, I'd be more concerned about Aunt Amanda and that sword... not sure what to make of that look in her eye ;)

A new book! I love books!

Briley checking out the gear toy...

Joshua and Briley!

Uncle Thomas taking Briley for a ride!

Christmas in Texas!

We just returned from our two week whirlwind vacation! We spent time in Houston and Tucson so Joshua could see all of his family. Needless to say, he made quite a haul! Here are some photos from Christmas with Aunt Amanda, Uncle Aaron, and the Sommerfields.

Eagerly awaiting a gift from Aunt Amanda and Uncle Aaron!

Aunt Amanda showing Joshua how to use their "SUPER" gift!

Joshua playing at Aunt Terri and Uncle Andy's house...

New bathtime toys!!

Joshua had an opportunity to meet plenty of puppies this trip! He likes to pet them on the nose... turns out most dogs don't wait around when they see a 1-year-old panting like a dog and coming at their face with an open hand!

Joshua recovering a fumble...
