Yet another summer pet

Welcome..................................

Our newest addition.............. Marley, ain't she swEEt!

i can'T believe he talked me into it....

The story behind this goes as follows: My wonderful husband decides that he wants a snake, so he tells me that he went into the reptile store and that the snakes were so cool. Then he says that he is going to buy one. Of course i say NO WAY, but did he listen???? After his wonderful purchase, he calls me to tell me how "rad" it is and that the kids are going to love it. I am picturing the snake to be like a cute(not really) little green garden snake, but oh no not quite. It was a dang Python.... are you kidding me???

Madison held it once, but didn't really like it. Davin couldn't get ENOUGH of it. He wanted to hold it all the time. He was never allowed to get it out of it's cage when his dad wasn't home, uh, uh, no way. Blane kinda liked it, but didn't want to hold it. Dason LoVed to scare me and Janelle with it. He would walk up to us with the snake in his hand , unbeknownst to us and say " oh, check this out". What a braT! I am sure he just got a huge kick out of chasing us around the house with it. That is why we will NEVER EVER have a snake as a pet again. The first time we fed the snake a live mouse was tramatizing for most of us. We fed him in the bath tub and we were all standing around watching and the snake grab him lighting fast and started to squeeze it. I ran out of the room and Blane started to cry. The older two were kind of in silent shock. Dason was in heaven, he LoVed every minute of it.

Here is another HUGE reason why we will never have a snake again. What's the worst thing that could happen??? Yeah, it did. The snake got out of it's cage and was loose in the house. We searched the entire house for the whole day and could not find it. This felt like a dream. We ended up finding it two weeks later. Davin was looking under the couch with his new flash light and he said, "Mom, I found the snake!!!" I thought he was kidding at first, but he was serious. Luckily, Dason had just left the house, so I was able to call him to come home and get it. It was still alive too!!

We are not sure what happened, but it kicked the bucket. Needless to say, I did not shed to many tears.

R.I.P our dear snake.

bYe, Bye bad tonsils and adenoids

Davin got his Tonsils out on July 10, 2009. He had Strep throat 6 times in an 8 month period, poor BaBe! He liked wearing the hospital gown that they gave him.

The coolest part was when the Anaesthesiologist came out to go over things with us. He told Davin that he would be blowing up a balloon and he showed him how with a skinny balloon. He turned the balloon into a dog and asked Davin "What do you use to take your dog for a walk?" He quickly blew up another balloon and made a leash. He told davin to put the leash on the dog and to take him for a walk. This was the way he got Davin back to the operating room. Good thing I had given him a big hug and kiss before he left.

Poor guy, woke up in pain and nauseated. He was so Moody for 2 weeks as thing started to heal. Now he feels great and is getting ready to start kindergarten!
