Playing at Grandma Bigler's

Ryan's first plane ride.   He slept almost the whole time.

On December 6 -8 we traveled to AZ for my work.  We stayed at Mom's so Kai and Lorinda could enjoy the sun.  It snowed in UT while we were in the warmth.  This is the sky as we landed in AZ.  Who knows how high we were.  Probally 30,000 feet.

Here are some professional pictures we had taken last week!

We've finally figured out how to get our pictures out of our DVD handycam so here are some pictures of Kai!

On November 3rd, we rescued a tortoise.  If my reasearch is correct it is a female Western Box Turtle.  (Still don't know what the diference between a land turtle and a tortoise is......)  The orange/ redish face is how we know she is a she.  No name yet, any suggestions?  Her owner kept letting her "go" because he was "sick of her."  Unfortunately any captive tortiose "released" means certain death.  Fortunately a neighbor saved her and found us through our home teacher.  I guess Utah doesn't have a reptile refuge like California, Arizona, and other surrounding states.  She has beautiful yellow spots on her arms and bright orangeish red face.  Isn't she pretty?

Here are some more pics of our other non-human babies:

Look!  They're groomed!

Do my tonsils look red to you?  I think all my crying is starting to irritate them...

Speaking of crying...this is my mad face!
