Alligator!!!!

Allen has a friend that lives down the street and his dad told Mike about the Alligator that is in one of the lakes in the subdivision.  It is right on the golf course but in woods, there are peoples houses really close to these woods also, I hope they keep their animals close by!!



I zoomed in pretty close, he is pretty far away from us. He is still too close for comfort though!
There are buzzards all over the place out here, when we walk around the lake they swarm the area, here are some pics of them and the trail where we ride our bikes.







This is such a pretty place to ride our bikes!

I started school yesterday so I will be busy, busy!! I am taking four classes so I will definitely have my hands full!! Mike is working lots of hours these days, because it is busy season in the tax world, blah!!  Allen is a little behind in school and I am pretty worried about it, Alabama schools are way behind Florida schools and he is having a hard time catching up, he is in a tutoring program two days a week after school so I hope this helps!  Taylor is doing great in school and making a lot of friends but, bless her heart she is on her 9th UTI, we have had ultrasounds and other tests that are clear but now on antibiotics and we have a Urologist appointment for the 19th so I hope they can find out why she can't stay clear of this, it seems if she is not constantly on an antibiotic she has a UTI, poor little girl, but you wouldn't know it, she neve complains about it.  Emma, well, Emma is Emma she is having a blast, but when I pick her up from school she tells me what a horrible day it has been I ask her to tell me about it and she says the teachers are so mean, and I ask how is that Emma? (We all know Emma, right?) So I ask her teacher if everything is ok with her and if she is doing what she is supposed to be doing, whatever> I did tell the teacher what Emma said and I asked her if she was getting in trouble because of her behavior and she says Emma is very good and behaves and does what she is told, but loves to talk, right??? In circle time they have had to tell her to hush, many times, they decided to move her but that doesn't stop the social butterfly she would talk to anyone!! Anyway-everyone is doing well just hope that Allen can get passed the third grade here and Taylor can be well from whatever is causing this and Emma, well I just hope she can have a quiet circle time!!

Dinosaur World

Memaw got the kids passes to Dinosaur World; the kids have so many toys and really do not need anything else so Memaw (mikes mom) always likes to buy us passes to neat places close to our house.  She bought Alabama Adventure passes when we lived in Vance and Zoo passes too, they are the best!!! ANyway-here are some pictures we went the day after Christmas, it was pretty cold that day but the kids really liked it, I am thinking maybe Allen's birthday at this place, if he is not too cool (old) for that now!

Sitting at the entrance on a T-rex foot!

Funny Emma!!!

I love this picture of Taylor telling Emma about the dinosaur.


This was a really neat place to take the kids, it is right off theinterstate close to our house.  Of course Allen has always loved Dinosaurs so how could this not be perfect!!!

Christmas!!

Ok better late than never!!  Christmas was not quite the same, we didn't have family parties to go to or family coming over to see what the kids got for Christmas so that was a little sad.  The kids had a really good Christmas, trust me Mike will make sure his kids get whatever they ask for, almost Taylor hasn't gotten her horse yet but if it is on the list Mike will do whatever he can to put it under the tree. I will just put some pics up from Christmas since it was so long ago and I have forgotten a lot of details.







That picture of Emma is so funny, she did not like Ken!! Taylor wrote a letter to Santa letting him know how much she loved the elf coming to visit, it is such a sweet little note!
