It's MY Blankey

Chloe LOVES this blanket, if it's in the wash and she's tired we're all in for trouble, we don't go anywhere with out it. The other day I decided it was time to wash it, I go into the laundry room to throw it in the dryer and I have Chloe right on my heels. It's one of the first things I put in the dryer, 2 seconds after I put it in she's pulling it out and trying to run away with it, I catch her and make her but it back but as soon as I turn to grab more clothes she's pulling it out again. I finally got all the other clothes loaded and slammed the dryer shut, she wasn't happy but got over it. An hour later I pull it out of the dryer and five minutes after that I had a happy, sleeping little girl! Nothing better...

Fun with Cousins

We've had alot of fun with cousins these past few weeks. Nate stayed in Kanab then Dakota came and stayed here, Sierra stayed in Kanab, and then Nate went back to Kanab. We even had Kaiden over for a few days. Every day that Kaiden was here we walked to the splash pad just up the road and had tons of fun, he never wanted to leave and would beg me every day to take him back.

Red-Eeared Slider!!!!

It's A Keeper!

Ok so after a few hours of searching the Internet we finally figured out what kind of turtle Nate and Grandma Sherwood found...(drum roll please)..... It's a Red Eared Slider!!! AND they're totally legal to have!!! So we have changed our mind, yet again, and decided to keep it. It is currently taking up residency in our front yard, where there should be flowers planted. Tonight we started putting in a water feature for it to enjoy but were unable to finish before dark. I'm still having issues with my card reader so no pics yet but i have up-loaded a picture of one from photo bucket...enjoy!!!

Nate's pet

Needless to say we are NOT keeping it, I had gotten worried that it might be one of the kinds of turtles you can't have, so in breaking my sons heart I told him he cannot keep it. It kinda creeped me out anyway. And shortly he'll have a whole litter of puppies to keep his mind off his PET.

Mom can I keep it???

That is how my conversation over the phone with Nate started yesterday. I hadn't talked to him in a couple days and I didn't even get a hello before those words came out of his mouth. I asked him, Nate what is it you want to keep? He wouldn't tell me right away he'd only say just tell me yes or no if I can keep it or not and then I'll tell you what it is... Ha!! I tell him my answer is definitely a big no if he's not going to enlighten me on what is he so desperately wants to keep. He gets frustrated and finally tells me its a turtle that his Grandma Sherwood had found in the middle of the road and he picked up. He hurry and asks me again if he could keep it and to HIS surprise I tell him as long as YOU take care of it. He must have been kinda excited cause he hung up on me. I tell Sierra what Nae's bringing home and of course she gets excited too!! Well later that night my mom calls and asks if Nate told me what they had found, I told her he had and that I said he could keep it. This is when she informs me of how BIG it is, she says its probably as big as a salad plate, I'm thinkin ok that's kinda big, and she says well actually it probably bigger than that. Great, what am I going to do with a HUGE turtle??
Well I guess we'll see exactly how big it is in a few hours when I go pick Nate up from Kanab.

Wish me luck and hopefully there will be pics to follow, even if I have to break down and use the laptop. I hate putting pics on here with the laptop, it's alot harder I think.

Computer Issues
