Jamie, Nate, And The Gun

Well with Jamie being out in the field these past few weeks he has. not worked the road in awhile. He came home early this morning for a late breakfast. Nathan went balistic when he saw Jamie's gun. Nathan wanted to touch it so bad and kept shouting, "GUUUN GUUUUN!" Jamie would not let him touch it so Nate was a little bummed out, so I told him to go get his gun gun. He strapped on his western wear and felt much better..

Ahhh The Joys Of Owning An Akita

Well I have to admit I have been neglecting poor Sy Fry. I try and brush.... him as much as I can during the week when the "blow" season comes, but its just been a lazy week. I started noticing hair blobs on the carpet and then I knew he needed to be brushed. Nathan helped brush and pick up the hair. At first he acted like it was snow and started running through it screaming! Bla I am sure I will find some hairs here and there for the next few days..

Name Tags

YEA!! Jamie got all his equipment tagged and ready to go. His helmet for example has to have his rank and name sewn on it. He also got his badges and tags put on his Class As.
Jamie wanted to get a pictures of Nate with the helmet on, but it was soooo heavy that he kept falling over head first. .

Bayou Aligator Park

The trip was alot of fun! They had a petting zoo, but we were leary of letting Nathan go in considering they had signs everywhere stating that they do bite so please use only open hand.
HA HA HA. The pigme goats were so adorable!!!! (Those were the safe ones)
The gators were actually.... . movin around quite a bit. Jamie and I both thought it was pretty funny seeing ratcoons in an exhibit. Only in Louisiana he he he.
We stopped into the cafe for some gator on a stick. It really does taste like chicken!
There was a mechanic man sitting on a chair talking to everyone. Nathan would not go near him, I thought he was a little creepy myself. :)
I tired to push Jamie into one of the large aligator pens but it did not work. :)
They had a feeding show, but we missed that by a couple minutes.
We had a great time, and would recommend it to anyone!.

Busy Day

Jamie got off early today which was sooooo nice! I went to the Dr. office to get Nate's X-Rays, but they had to be copied so we should get them in a few days. I split the fry tank up to give the new babies more room. I also re-potted my wedding anniversary rose bush!! I told Jamie I am bound to take this with us wherever we go! It all started in Clarksville TN and it has moved 4 times in 3 years! Its lookin a little sad right now, but it always seems to come back around. Nate played in the backyard for awhile, then we went over to the park where he swinged and played football with some of the neighborhood kids. Jamie and Nate also went out front and rode bikes. I wish I had the camera so I could have taken video of Jamie on this little kids bike, it was hilarious!

Monkey Bank

Nathan found Jamie's coin stash and started fillin er up!

God Bless America

Well I was putting some makeup on and Nathan was watching me very closely. He has always been fascinated with the face paint in the black bag that mamma uses. I turned around to talk to Jamie and when I turned back around there he was with mascara all over his face. Don't worry, he was not crying in pain, but he wanted to keep it on and I was about to clean it off before the photo was taken. :)
