My Sweet Jacey!

I am babysitting Jacey full time now and she is just so much fun.  I love getting all that sweet Jacey lovin'!  I just can't help but to take pictures of her.  Isn't she the sweetest?
Happy girl!
DROOL!  She is cutting her top two teeth!
Getting so big!
Randy and I had to go do some shopping one afternoon.  Jacey went with us and insisted she needed this froggie!  Of course, we were more than happy to buy it for her!  She loves our frogs in the tanks!
And just because Jacey loves the froggies so much, here is a picture of Penelope too!

Who's In The Tank? A Ghost Story!

I was palying with the frogs and trying to take some pictures of them to show my friend.  Ian was standing on the opposite end of the tank from me and I snapped this picture through the tank.  I thought it was pretty neat!  That's Penelope standing there on the rock.


Later that night, Ian had the flashlight out again.  This time he was telling Randy and I a ghost story!  SPOOKY!!


Polly and Pip!

We have adopted two new frogs.  These are also African Clawed Frogs but they are albino ones.  There names are Polly and Pip.  Since they are still a good bit smaller than our other ones, they are currently living in the (old) small tank with the fish.  When they have grown a bit bigger I am planning to move them to the bigger tank.  Aren't they cute? 
Polly is the bigger one, Pip is smaller.


Can you find Pip hiding in the rocks?

Just Life, School and A Science Experiment.


I never know what kind of pictures I will find when I upload the pictures from my memory card onto the computer.  All of the kids like playing with my camera so it always makes for some interesting pictures!  The following pictures are just a few that I came across in this batch. 
Here is Kristen drying Maggie after giving her a bath one night.  Maggie doesn't really enjoy her bathtime.



I am guessing Ian wasn't happy about something in this picture.  Maybe he was just playing....



Ok, he is looking a little happier now!



I am guessing this was a self picture.......I had to share these gorgeous eyelashes though.



I haven't taken as many school pictures lately.  I need to get better at doing that again.  Here is Ian working on some lacing cards I made for him.  He enjoys doing these.



We just love our frogs!  They have adapted well to their new home.  I don't think I have actually posted pictures of the new tank yet.  You can see it here.  Kristen was hand feeding them.  Yes, the frogs will eat from our fingers.  Penelope will even try to swim into our hand, Kristen says she is trying to cuddle when she does this.




Luigi waving hello!


I call this Home Ec!!


We all did school in the living room in front of the fire one cold morning.





Even Maggie likes to be close to the fire!! 


Morgan worked on another science experiment.  Aaron helped her with this one.  She was learning how blubber helps keep seals, sea lions, walrusus and other sea creatures warm while swimming in arctic waters.  She place a latex glove on both hands.  Next she covered one hand with a thick layer of vaseline to act as blubber, and then placed a second glove on that hand. 





The next step was to put both hands into some ice water and see if the "blubber" helped her keep that hand in the ice water longer.

It did help and she had to pull the single glove hand out first.  She kept the blubber hand in the water almost twice as long!



Here is a picture of me that Ian took one night.

A Couple Days with Jacey!

Again, I apologize, these pictures are in reverse order. We babysat Jacey one day a couple weeks ago. She is just growing so fast and gets sweeter and sweeter...if that is possible. The weather was really nice that evening so we all sat outside and enjoyed it! Kristen, taking a self picture..


Momo!


Silly face Ian!


I believe this was Ian playing with the camera!


Now Momo's photography!








Ian and Papa!

Ian's photography again....

I love this baby girl!!!

My heart!

Jacey KISSES!!



Look at these eyes.....





Uncle Randy is silly!




I don't think Jacey liked the grass very much......too cute though!


She didn't scream at first though.....

Here is Luigi...



How cute is this? Jacey loves the froggies!! I think she needs some of her own!





Eating Piggies!




She just has too much cuteness not to share!!
