RATTLESNAKE!!!!!!

Thor and I got on the four wheeler this evening to go for a ride and to take some apples to the horses. We were riding around the house and as I turned the corner to go around the back porch, there it was.... coming out of the flower bed........ a huge rattlesnake!!! I put on the breaks and put the four wheeler in reverse. I didn't have my cell phone with me so I couldn't call Curry but I didn't want to take my eyes off of it so I started yelling his name hoping he would here me in the house. He did hear me then grabbed his shot gun and came out there and shot it. It's hard to really tell by the 1st pic but it was 4ft long. It is now in a plastic bag in our chest freezer along with 2 other rattlesnakes awaiting to be skinned.

Time to go back to work!

You know it's time to go back to work when you start finding things to do to get out of the house like going bowling and playing bingo. On Wednesday all of us went went to Mariana to play bingo and go bowling. Well we couldn't play Bingo because kids weren't allowing in. So a trip to Walmart filled the time until the rest of the family could meet us at the bowling alley. We all had a blast and yes it was good to get out of the house for awhile.

Baby brother Trig is finally here!

Trig arrived at 7:50 am on September 2nd. His stats were almost identical to Thor's. When Thor was born he was 8 lbs and 20 in. Trig was 8.05 lbs and 20 in. The biggest difference between the boys is Trig's BLONDE hair! We are all adjusting pretty well and love our new bundle of joy!

FSU Fan Day

Thor wasn't quite sure what to think of Chief Osceola.
A few weeks ago the 3 of us went to Seminole Fan day. They had all the football players signing autographs. The lines were really long so Curry and I split up, passing our autograph football back and forth to get as many autographs as possible. The players were only there for a few hours and when the time was up, they were done. Well, I had been waiting in the quaterback line for over an hour and there was only 5 minutes left and I wasn't going to make it to the tables. So as I was getting out of line to leave a lady that was getting to the players asked Curry what he wanted signed. Curry handed her our football but they said only one item per person. So Curry shoved Thor under the rope and had him go through the line with this random lady and our football was filled with autographs.

Orlando Vacation

Back in July, Thor and I had our last vacation with Curry's family before Trig came. We went to Orlando. All the NC Eikeland's came down and spent some time visiting as well. Although our resort was on Disney property, we just hung out at the pool and went to Sea World. Since Thor had just finished swimming lessons right before we went, he had fun going swimming every day. The picture of Thor riding the lizard is him in the lazy river. The resort also had a mini water park for kids. He loved running through the showers of water and getting squirted in the face.

We actually went to Sea world two days while we were down there. We saw 2 different Shamu shows, one during the day and one at night. Thor loved them, he couldn't keep his eyes off what was going on. He also got to touch a sting ray. The second day there we stayed until they closed and watched their fireworks show. Watching the fireworks was one of biggest highlights of the trip because we got to watch Disney's fireworks every night from the balcony of our room.
