Steve the Gecko







Connor got a gecko for his birthday in November. He went birthday shopping with Grandpa and Grandma Hatch and this is what he came home with. He used his birthday money from both sets of Grandparents and from his friend Carson. I wasn't that excited about having another pet. I was worried that it might smell so we banished him to the basement. It hasn't been bad at all. He doesn't seem to have a smell and he isn't much work. Connor feeds him two small mealworms every night. The kids really like him. We are now the proud owners of 2 frogs, Kruger and Godfrey (that are really like fish); 4 fish, no names, that came as 2 from school and then multiplied; 1 dog, Foster; and 1 gecko, Steve.
I know that the names are weird but they are all named after football players. Even the boys Webkinz have player's names. Who would have guessed.
It reallly is Connor's gecko even though there are no pictures of him with Steve. Connor tries to avoid pictures.

Can you hear me?






Ashlyn got these headphone for New Years. She put them on the Barbie MP3 player that she got for Christmas. She wandered around the house yelling instead of talking. She yelled "Can you hear my Boice? I can't hear my Boice!" I thought the headphones would cut down on the noise in the car when they are watching dvds. Now I am not so sure. They might make us crazy.

More Christmas
