We went to the pet store yesterday!

  This is a bearded dragon that was trying so hard to escape. Poor thing.

  Here you find his well behaved friend. Sunning on his log like a good little lizard.

   Ryder was fascinated with this rat. I might have thought about getting one but mom's allergic to them and hamsters. I'd opt for a hamster though.

  Oh, how I just love leopard geckos!

  I have no clue what on earth this turtle is doing. He looks like a ballerina. :)

  The eyes did not turn out right on this one but I thought I'd put it up anyway because I think it looks cool. Reid was playing a game with him and the cat would chase Reid's hand and try to catch it. It was funny.

 This is the naughty bearded dragon. The good thing is he's not so naughty anymore because he was saying "bye-bye!" Feel free to comment. I hope you enjoyed the pics. :)

Rayden gets a parakeet!!!

  So we went to Denver yesterday and Rayden got to pick out a parakeet! He had to keep his room clear for two months but he said it was definitely worth it. We went to PetsMart first but parakeets were cheaper at PetCo and there was one on the way out of town. We went to SamsClub afterward and barely made it to PetCo in time. When you have seven kids Sams takes forever. Mom was helping him pick out one that looked like a boy because it's kinda hard to tell.

  Lot's of choices!! He got a green one but the blue ones are cool too. I will see if I can post a picture of it later once he gets it trained to sit on his finger.

  See that wad o' cash in his right hand? He saved for at least a year to get that!

  I believe PetCo has a very happy customer, no?

  They all got scared when the PetCo personnel got Rayden's parakeet out so they all bunched up. And Rayden's parakeet escaped from his box in the van on our three hour trip home. I have no idea how but we got him back in without much difficulty. I think. I was asleep most of the way home. :)

Charlie bit me!!!

 I love this video! I felt bad for him at first but after a few minutes he was smiling again. :)

Checking calves!!

  This is Rhett winking at me. lol Every morning we go down to the calving pasture, about a mile away, and check our cows to see if they had any new babies during the night. It's a lot of fun!!

  Bookworm. He read nearly the whole time! Usually he and the other ones roll around and play games, but not today.

  This is Ronan with his "baby duck." :)

  Some of the cows drinking out of the pond.

 Wide open prairie. I just love Kansas!! That is our shop to the far right on the horizon. So we aren't very far away. :)

Please pray!! Family nearby massacred!!
