Reptilian Santa???

Yes Santa deiced to bless the Stark's with 2 more mouths to feed!!! Meet Geno the African Fat tailed Gecko and Sam the Pueblan Milksnake. They traveled from the north pole to find a new place to call home. Jake and Cade have been asking for( Jake for 2 yrs) and Cade well over a year for these new additions and boy have been stalling or what!!!!We all went and meet Sam over a month ago just to make sure how Jake the snake would handle to new friend. I met Geno weeks ago and just feel in love with him his is an absolute doll... yes really he is like a puppy.... yes a puppy with scales and eats crickets!! So far so good my year of being a Vet Tech have come in handy but boy have I forgotten so much in 6 yrs. We had a great Christmas and did not drive 12 hours to see family ... yeah!!!! Gigi and Pop-pop spend to night Christmas eve so they could wake up with the kids and Grandma and Grandapa Bob came later Christmas morning to see all the excitement. I love being able to see our family more than just a few times a year. We will be going to Savannah tomorrow to celebrate Jenny and Jake's B-day's so we are looking forward to it!!.Oh and just so you no one thinks Lila is left out she has a butterfly house that will be filled with butterfly babies as soon as the weather heats up. May the Lord be with me and my new reptilian kids!!!

Jake has lost it!!

Yes the news it out.... Jake has finally( with he help of a dentist) lost tooth #3!!! He will be 8 on 12/29 and has only lost 3 teeth I had the dentist take x-rays to make sure that he really does have back up teeth sleeping in his head! He was so excited to have that tooth taken out since it has been loose for over 4 months and no end in sight!! Things are rolling along here in SC and we are getting our house in order. We have painted several rooms and love, love the new changes. Lila and Cade are doing well. I forgot to post pics of Lila and her new bike she was given for her big 4th b-day on 11/10. She loves it and I am so happy to be able to walk the dogs while she rides. Though she likes to challenge me with her fast riding skills!!! We are getting ready for Christmas and looking forward to NOT driving 12 hrs to see our family!!I don't know what to think of staying in our own house for the Christmas but I won't have to miss my bed this year!!!!Luckily Bob the Elf has made his annual appearance. The kids were really worried that he won't know where we moved to but I assured them that elves are very aware of everything....everything!! So we are all happy to have our little green house guest for the Christmas season.
