Meet our Pot Bellied Pigs

Our newest mammal addition to our family are our Vietnamese Miniature Pot Bellied Pigs.  We have wanted these for a few years. While vacationing in Houston we visited a wonderful little exotic pet store and we just fell for these little girls.  They spent the night in our hotel's bathtub and were perfect the entire time except when we decided to feed them their bottle before we checked out.  The first lesson about pigs is that they HATE to be picked up and that a pigs persistent squeal is louder than a jet engine taking off.  Lets just say that our neighbors had an interesting wake-up alarm. Pigs are highly intelligent but can have a difficult time to change. There was a lot of change going on in their life on this trip. 
They have adjusted well to living with us and they think I am their mommy! The are 7 weeks of age in these pictures. How can you not love them!

Halloween Costumes

Well since it is one day until December I thought it was just about time to post the kids Halloween Costume Pictures this year....better late than never.  Braxton was Captain Hook, Asher was Peter Pan and Tennyson was Tinker Bell.

Spa Day

Who doesn't love having a day of pampering, relaxing, and fun????!!!!  Well it is just difficult to adjust to the frigid temperatures this week so we decided to have some indoor fun.  We had a homemade spa afternoon by soaking in a hot bath with Epsom salt to soothe those aching muscles and had a moisturizing clay mask.  Everyone had a manicure and pedicure by mom and Tennyson had her toenails painted and walked out happy with shiny lip gloss freely sharing her sweet kisses.  Braxton asked if we could make this a biweekly event....All were in favor!
