Halloween..

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. The main reason being that Keith was home this year. Last year Keith had just deployed like two days before Halloween so it was pretty difficult. At this time Sarai wasn't walking yet so she was contained to a stroller. I went to a local Harvest Festival with some friends. Sarai was a fairy (two years in a row) and Charlie was superman. It was fun but kind of sad because Keith wasn't there and Sarai could not partcipate in much because she was too little. This year everything was completely different. We had lots of fun Sarai walked the entire time and played a few of the games. We also took her trick or treating for the first time. We only went to 4 or 5 houses but it was fun. She also helped me to give away candy whenever the doorbell ring. She had lots fun ESPECIALLY eating candy. I don't allow her to have it often, but i let her have about 4 or 5 pieces on Halloween. All in all it was a fun night.

Halloween 2

Fishing for treats! I think Sarai may turn out to be a pro just like her papa!

Safari Adventure! Or Safari Scare! LOL

Keith heard about this safari through a co-worker from work. Now at first we didn't think it would be even close to a safari, but it turned out to be really great.

Sarai loved the zebras. I was so suprised how friendly they were. They came right up to your car and ate from your hand like a well-trained pet. I loved hearing sarai shout zebra, and watching her play with them and get all excited. Amazingly she had no fear at all. She wasn't scare of any of the animals, but she has this INTENSE fear of flies and mosquitos. She will scream and holler like she has seen a monster anytime she sees a little tiny fly. BUT she doesn't mine have a ram or a goat or a zebra lick her face. She is so backwards! lol Hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed taking the safari and making the memories.

Safari 2

Safari 3

I absolutely love this video. One we were able to get pretty close to the tigers. I didn't video it but they got pretty worked up because the safari worker bought out fresh meat for them to eat. They started to become agressive with each other. Was very interesting to watch. But what I love the most is Sarai's expressions and her excitement as she talked about them. Absolutely priceless, and it was really nice seeing Keith and Sarai together sharing a special moment.

Safari 4

This was one scary looking buffalo/bison not quite sure lol. It was huge but pretty friendly. Keith was able to get it to eat out of his hand...it was pretty slimy!

Kiss from a beautiful fawn. Sarai got quite a number of kisses on this day. It was like she was snow white for a day.


This video isnt that long because we were under attack lol. We should have prepared ourselves for it but we ignored the "warning". The only animal the cashier mentioned was the camel. She said the camel likes to stick its head in ur window if u dont want it to come close throw the food away from the car. Well we didn't have much of a chance to do that. We saw the camel coming and we were like wow look at that then BAM his head swept inside of our car and went pass keith and onto sarai's lap who was sitting on my lap. She panicked and i panicked I dropped the food everywhere and tried to protect her and keith tried to hit the gas (lightly so as not to kill the camel) and speed out of the way. It was like in a movie or something, it happened so fast. I mean all I can remember seeing is the camels head and neck extended all the way through our car ALL you could see was camel. It was definitely scary but also a memory i will never forget. You didnt get to see it all because I somehow managed to turn the camera off before it got really crazy.

Now this kind of shows you what the trip was like. On this safari the animals get UP close and personal. They see the car rolling down the path and they all come running over, its interesting and scary at the same time. This particular time we were completely surrounded, it was really hard to pull away. You definitely get your money's worth on this safari. This was towards the end of the tour, Sarai at this point had gotten bored. Instead of watching the animals she was on the floor of the car playing with pennies.

Diva Style..

I love this pic of Sarai. She is obsessed with glasses the bigger the better. Which means she has taste in fashion since big glasses are in. Anyway she loves the glasses she won them out of the treasure chest for good behavior at daycare. She figured out by herself that the only way to get them to stay on is to turn them upside down. She is always thinking just like daddy! Improvise, adapt and overcome!

Jamming with Daddy

One of Sarai's favorite things is to jam with daddy on the guitar. Sometimes he makes up songs for her other times he plays songs from her favorite shows. One thing I say is that Sarai is his biggest fan! (Next to me of course lol).
