Fossil Rim

We decided to spend some Spring Break fun time at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center. It was exactly like being on an African safari. Except not all the animals are native to Africa. And the cheetahs and wolves are in cages. And we were surrounded by other families in SUVs. And I don't think the African plains have a gift shop at the "half way" point. Seriously, it was fun. I recommend it to children of all generations. They had the biggest chickens we've ever seen.

First Bath

After 9 days of existence, we decided to have a bath. It was nice. Ben handled it in his usual fashion... squirming and squeaking. Over all, he really enjoyed it. Afterwards, he celebrated this achievement by eating and falling asleep.

Baby Cletus has Arrived!!!!

But we named him Ben instead of Cletus. Charles Benoit "Ben" Carruthers was born on Sunday Feb 26, 2006 at 11:00 am on the dot. He weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and is doing fine. Momma is doing well, also. Tristin is looking forward to teaching him all the stuff little boys need to know. We thank everyone for the kind visits and gifts.
