Scales & Tails

A little over a week ago, the kids celebrated their 9th birthday!!!

We invited a "few" friends.

The quads put on their favorite t-shirts for the big event!

The kids decided that they wanted a "Scales and Tails" party complete with all kids of creepy crawly stuff.  I took it upon myself to  make sure that everything that was transported onto our lot, was also transported off ;o)  I definitely wouldn't want many of these things crawling around my house!

Yep, that's a scorpion...

that the handler put it in his mouth.  Ewwwwww!

My dad held his great-grandson, Quentin,

Jaxon held a lizard

and Amanda held a snake around her neck.

Gail and Stacey did something really scary...(actually, when you have as many internet problems as I have of late, this is really a scary thing to do!)

My favorite?  An 85 pound tortoise.

This was the biggest lizard he brought.

And this was the biggest snake.  He was over 13 feet and 100 pounds!

We attempted to combat the 101 degree temperatures with misting fans.  Carson thought they were pretty cool!

Londyn showed us her teeth, while playing with her Grammy-J.

Damn...That's a lotta pizza!

One big birthday cake, with 36 candles topped off the day!

We couldn't have asked for a better party.  Thanks to all my family and friends who came out and celebrated with us, we had a great time seeing all of you.  And a huge thanks to Scales and Tales Utah for putting on such a fun and informative show!
Happy Birthday to my sweet kids!  I love you more than you will ever know!
Love,
Mom
