Happy New Year!!!!!!

Here's to 2009.
May Jake's car and elbow make it all year long.

May Logan's snake breeding venture not work (and if it does, may he find someplace else for all the new snakes!).

May Ally continue to be the pretty princess and may she get along with everyone at school.

May Brady skip the terrible twos.

What are our chances?!

A Holiday Tradition

Every year we make gingerbread houses and then give them away to our teachers at school. It allows us to use lots of creativity AND get our sugar fill for the year.

Dear Santa,

We've Been Very, Very Good...we PROMISE!!!

All I Want for Christmas is...

A NEW SNAKE!!!!

Logan is the animal expert in the Fox family. He can tell you facts and care instructions for domestic and exotic animals alike. His hero was Steve Irwin. It was a tragic day when his parents had to break the news of Steve's passing.
He has been the proud parent to 2 dogs, 2 snakes (one is resting peacefully in the walls of our old house...), 2 lizards, and many fish.

He is hoping for another snake for Christmas.

He's been a good boy and is good about sharing his animals with his siblings...What do you say, Santa?

Crash! Bang! Smash! Ouch....

Poor Jake! He was late for school last week and was trying to get all of his stuff settled in the car AND drive. He didn't even see the light pole coming.

If you see a good deal on a car, let us know!

Farewell old friend...(okay really, it's a new friend...)

He Survived!!!

Jake has earned his bragging rights...he lived through a tornado! Jake was at his dad's house and started texting his mom about 2AM that the storm was getting a little scary. His mom was thinking he was just a wimp. He got up to close his window and it shattered right in front of him!!!! He and the rest of the family got to a safer part of the house. The tornado didn't cause too much damage to the house. People six houses down weren't so lucky...their house was totally destroyed. Luckily no one was hurt.

We're very grateful you're safe Jake!

Jake's dad lives in this neighborhood. You can see some of the damage from the storm in the background.
This was a trampoline before the storm...

This huge tree was uprooted completely.

Family Bonding

We had fun with our cousins last week. They were visiting us and a dogpile fight began!

Here is a video of our family dog piling on Mom. Notice how Brady is scrambling for safety!!!!

Brady decided that being on the ground and screaming was fun. But he wanted to do it a safe distance from all the other craziness!
