Anders Family: Texas Rodeo

Saturday, August 16, 2008

We had a great time at the Mesquite Rodeo. The kids had fun in the petting zoo and really the whole things was a lot of fun.

Maddie always loves the pony rides

Anya did pretty good although she really wants to ride a horse for "real" she was a little disappointed in the size of the pony.

Daddy and Grey had a great time!!!

Maddie wanted to get her face painted and chose a Tiger. I think she looks great!!!

Victoria :) said...: It is cute to see Joey in a cowboy hat! That is a picture I thought I would never see! :); August 17, 2008 at 2:06 PM

Green Tips

"The Dirty Dozen" I know that organic foods can be really expensive but here is a list of 12 items that carry the highest level of residue, pesticides and other dangerous contaminations. Apples, Cherries, Grapes (imported Chili), Nectarines, Peaches, Pears,Raspberries,Strawberries,Bell peppers,Celery ,Potatoes,Spinach. Even after washing these items still hold on to bad things. If you can buy organic for these items. If you can't at least buy a good vegetable wash and really follow the directions( leaving it on for several minutes)
"If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars."
I have been trying to change some simple things to make our family more "Green" I think we should all try to work at making our earth and our families a little more healthy. I am going to try to post simple household tips that I find in my own journey. I hope you will try some of them out.
