Things are a little WILD here....

The end of summer, before school starts, is a little dysfunctional over here. The boys are all acting like little animals in their cleanliness and fighting habits, and to top it off we have some animals here! The animals are the highlight these days....

This is our favorite dog of all time! His name is Digger and we babysit him for our friends pretty often. He is the best, most patient with Isaac, sweet, little dog.

Here is Bennett a couple nights ago ready for bed. He has on his way-too-small for him Super Mario Brothers pajama shirt (with long sleeves for those cold Las Vegas nights), a musket of sorts, and a coonskin cap he got from Grandma and Grandpa Hawkins for his birthday.


This is our new pet! And there is another one that was hiding so I couldn't get his picture. Our friends were moving to Washington and gave us their tortoises, and I must say they are the perfect pets for Las Vegas. They are small, live outside in a little habitat area that we (Adam) built for FHE on Monday night. They just eat minimal food, drink a little water, and hibernate all winter long. So, it is like having pets only 1/2 the year! They totally entertain the boys and give them something to do. So far they have been named: Sandy and Snippy, Sandy and Shelly, Sandy and Spongebob, and now apparently they are Sandy and Patrick. Like I said.... it gives the boys something to think about.

1) Ryan wear his long sleeved mario jammies to bed too. We think he is insane.
2) We are a bit spongebob obsessed over here as well.
3) Walmart has LONG SLEEVED SPONGEBOB jammies. Check em out, they seem right up your ally.

I love that Sandy is always one of the names. I see who the favorite character is. Also I appreciate getting to see good old Digger again, even if it is just a picture.

Glad they are adjusting well. Cami still doesn't know we got rid of them, she thinks Chris is bringing them up with him next week. Love the names, they had multiple names at out house too, their names always depended on who you asked. They really are the best pets ever!

How big are those tortoises? They do sound like good pets. Our neighbors through the back fence have horses. That is a good pet too - we can feed and pet them, but don't have to tend them!
