Meet Mike!

Bryson had been wanting a reptile for quite some time now! I told him he could have a turtle so he got so excited... The only catch he had to pay for the turtle! So we set out to build a turtle box and we did! Pictures to come of that soon! All Summer he mowed are .32 lawn! He mowed my parents a couple times to earn the money for the turtle! So when he was ready I called pets Mart no one had a Russian tortoise! Then one of the girls said well we have a red footed. They are just colored different! She said He was on sale for 69.99 normally 100 bucks!. That day i found a coupon too for friends and family 15% off so that brought the turtles price to 63 BUCKS! (bryson bought a toy in vegas with the rest and paid tithing). So Mike came home!

Mike ended up getting sick partially are fault! He was too cold! He got pneumonia and ended back at the store and then on antibiotics. For 3 LONG weeks I took Bryson out (75 Blocks from the house) too see Mike! Mike came home for the second time. He started acting weird... Well I finally figured it out MIKE WAS COLD!!!!!!!!! I got the biggest heat lamp i could and Mike is so Crazy! He climbs his logs, he swims The kids love to watch him eat his lettuce tomatoes! He loves our cherry tomatoes from the garden! Mike is alot of fun and Bryson sure earned him and loves him so MUCH!

More pictures to come of mike! There just on my Iphone....

Family Pictures

While the kids were off track we had our family pictures done! It was alot of fun and she did a great job! While they were off track we did Vegas, the zoo, classic skating, Bryson did alot of of Sylvan, went to the gym alot, and went to Chucky Cheese to let them play! I swear we weren't home at all for the 3 weeks they were off! I would have to admit sending them back to school today I was sad and really felt outta place! This was one of the best off track breaks we have ever had!

Vegas and football

Bryson has waited all year to play Flag Football! I still can't believe I let him play seeing I swore my son wouldn't play but I caved last year let him play. Last year wasn't really football. Lets just say after playing this year my Hat goes off to the coach this year! He was learning the real plays and playing! He did so good! Last year I don't think I can count as a 1st year. Daddy and Bryson are trying BEG me to allow him to play tackle since he would be on the line seeing for 8 year old they weight cut off is 76 lbs... Bryson is 88! SO from what people tell me is he will be safer adn thats where I want him! BUt still TACKLE.... K they can beg a LITTLE LONGER....


Over UEA we decided to go go down to vegas where it was warmer and go swimming. Our friends had a time share so we got a pretty good deal! It was an awesome resort! Way at the other end of the strip! We did go down to to the strip 1 day out of the 4! We saw the shark reef, the dolphins, pink flamingos, the fountians, M and M store( they thought that was christmas)! We went to the outlets got a couple good deals. Ended up going to a ROSS on the strip and Daddy got a pair of Doc Martin boots for 24 bucks! THey had lots of fun and they ask if we can go back to vegas. The only Rule is.... You do the stuff on the strip before 1 PM!
