ARE WE NOT TURTLEEEEEE ENOUGH FOR THE TURTLE CLUB???

We sure are!!! We found this little guy out by our pond and have now deemed him our NEW FAMILY PET. We believe that he is a Yellow Footed Tortoise. He is so cute and so nice. He lets us pet him and actually enjoys it...does he have a choice??!! He is a fantastic and graceful swimmer too! How do we know that he is a fantastic and graceful swimmer you ask... we filled a garbage can and the bathtub up with water and watched him!! By the way his name is IKE.

I can't even stand to look at the nasty spider!! That gives me the creeps!!! As for all the pictures of your kids, they are awesome. It seems like you are loving where you are at. So is the pond at your new place? How far did you move? So many questions. As for the hottest mom contest, you are definitly hot enough to win, holy cow!! :)

Our Vaca with Grandma and Grandpa Flygare

OK, So maybe we weren't turtleeee enough for the turtle club!

We had been packing and getting things ready to move into our new place, playing and loving up our new turtle, attending to Brooklyn's gash (she fell on a large shard of glass out back in the woods), that Alli had not been getting enough attention due to all the commotion. She was very mad indeed. She went from having one on one time with mom to and from school and lots in between to not much attention at all, Sorry Bibst. Anyway I was sitting in the front room taking a break from packing and Alli stuck her head in the sliding door and announced, "The turtle is gone". Not thinking about it too much I simply said, "no it isn't Bibst". Well I made it out to the deck about 4 hours later to discover that YES the turtle was gone. Alli had opened the cage and helped our little friend along his way. Coincidence ?? I think not!! Jare and I looked and scowered and never did find our beloved friend. However, we did find this HUGE spider hanging out with it's lovely little egg sack only a few yard from our deck. JACKPOT!!

And to finish off the story, this happened the morning of the disappearance or our turtle friend, I had gone in to take a shower and was finishing up to hop in the shower and Alli slid a piece of paper under the door. I hollered out and asked what it was (i knew) and Alli simply stated, "A BUTT". She was so mad at me for not paying enough attention to her that she drew me a picture of a butt and let our turtle go.

Tornados???

We were unaware that there were tornados in Tennessee. It was a super dark day a week or two ago so I decided to check the weather channel. I put in our zip code and it started flashing a huge red warning. Never having experienced this before we got loaded up and headed out to get somewhere safe. After the storm calmed and we returned home I ran out to pick up a few things for Easter the next day. I got into the suburban and went on my merry way. As I was coming down the hill I saw Jaremy at the T in the road and figured he was just taking garbage to the dump. I pulled in and soon after he pulled in. I notice he had a few kids but when I walked up to the truck little heads started popping up everywhere. There had been another tornado warning while I was out and since I was gone with the family vehicle he had loaded everyone up in the truck. Super funny...after the fact.
