Brandee's Graduation Party!

I thought that I would share this photo with all of my friends on blogger. My best friend Brandee(third from the left) graduated with her Masters Degree in Education a few weeks ago and I went to see her this weekend to celebrate with her and her family. Brandee and I have been best friends for over 20 years and her family is my family, we are so proud of her!

Loving Life!

Here are some random pictures of the babies, Brent and Peyton. They are growing so fast and we are enjoying them very much. I went away for the weekend and I could not stop talking about the babies and calling Brent to check on them. It was the first time that I left them alone and I am almost embarrassed to say that I was very very worried about the the entire time I was gone. I gave Brent very detailed and explicit directions on how to care for them in my absence and I am proud to say he took excellent care of them.

"Wait, this is my good side"

Just a good picture I had to put it in twice (I messed up and cant figure out how to take it off, lol).
"Heller"

"I love to cuddle"

Right there Peyton that's the perfect spot!

Home Sweet Home

Hmmm...Where is she going?

Snack Time For Rosie

Yesterday afternoon Brent and I were sitting by the pool and enjoying the wonderful weather of south Georgia. I went up to check on the babies and Rosie was sun bathing, she was enjoying the early fall afternoon also. I went inside and got her a few mushrooms to have for a snack. It is almost as if she knew I was coming back with a treat for her because she was waiting by the side of her pen looking up to see me. I brought her over to our table and gave her an afternoon treat.....

I see it, I see it, watch out mushroom here I come....

Almost there....

Got it! These things move all over the table, but never fear I used my stealth like abilities to grab it...

With just a little bit of persistence I got my mushroom, whew!

Growing.....

So last night while lying in bed trying desperately to go to sleep I had a fabulous idea, at the beginning of each month I'm going to post their growth. I know when they are all grown up it will be awesome to see how much they grew each month. I didn't realize how hard it would be to take a picture of them next to a ruler, no one wanted to be still. I'm sure with time I will get better at taking the pictures while they are in motion. I apologize the picture of Rosie's pretty face is a bit blurry, I'm still figuring out this camera as I was not blessed with the technology gene. I hope that you will enjoy watching them grow as I am.

Cecil wouldn't stop moving

Cecil with food all over his face

We are going back to bed, See ya!

Rosie

Rosie enjoyed her breakfast, she is going to save some for later

Ginger

Ginger has a little bit of food on her face, she is a polite eater (believe that if you want to)

Fighting Over Food!

Mine, Mine, Mine!!

Cecil is once again the lone ranger...the last one eating

This morning the babies were in rare form. None of them wanted to soak in the bath at all and they were eager to get to their breakfast. Today they had mixed greens, mushroom, zucchini, carrots and optunia, nothing new was on their plate. They were actually taking the food out of each others mouths. You can see in the picture how close they are to one another, they got into those positions by themselves.

Chomp Chomp!

I saw it first!! Back up off my carrot...

We are starving and we can't get to the food fast enough!!

Its my Oputina!

Sleepy Time...

Its was raining this morning when it was time for Rosie, Ginger and Cecil to eat breakfast so they ate inside this morning. They had to stay inside all day today because of the rain so I have their pen under a UVB lamp. After they were done eating I put them back into their pen and they each stayed above the moss for a bit. Cecil buried himself in the moss first, he was probably exhausted from eating so much this morning (he is always the last to finish eating). Rosie and Ginger sat on top of the moss all day basking in the "sun". They seem to be more active when they are under the UVB lamp rather than being outside. I love to watch them throughout the day when they are out of the moss because most of the time they sleep all day and all night.

Have a Happy and Blessed Day :)
