The new family member...

Tater
We decided to try to curb Allie's pet obsession by getting a cat. POOR CAT!!!!
We probably should have gotten a dog, but I think cats are less work. Pretty sure he thinks we HATE him because she is CONSTANTLY chasing him and trying to carry him yelling "Here Kitty!!". He RUNS and HIDES really fast when he hears her coming most of the time.
He is a SWEET cat and loves to follow Brian around! He likes to sleep on Brian's feet. It still kind of freaks us out that there is an animal roaming around our house on his own! I have enjoyed watching how much the boys like to play with him too. Jake isn't an animal fan. The cat is less intimidating to him than a dog would be. I can see why they say animals are good for kids. He relieves anxiety by letting them pet him...he loves to lay under our table and play with drinking straws!! We like him a lot and will hopefully adjust to keeping fur off of our furniture soon......
He's 11 months old and de-clawed so we can keep him inside.
Now we have 2 Leopard Geckos, a Russian tortoise, @50 fish in 4 aquariums, AND a cat....
we might be charging admission to our zoo in the NEAR future!!!
OUCH!!
Allie's road rash...
Jake took her for a ride in the stroller, he was being such a good big brother and even buckled her in. He tipped her over on the neighbor's driveway and she came home with this...
She was completely devastated that her face looked yucky!!!

Tater is such a good little kitty. Anytime he wants some company have him call JoJo or Allie and they will come and play.LOL!

Cute cat! I know that Nate was asking for a mammal I tried telling him he already had one because he had a brother and a sister, OH WELL!! Tell the cat good luck.

You are brave, I took my daughter to the Mall so that she could look at "puppies" through the glass.. cause she's obsessed and we watch 101 Dalmations 4x daily... that's as far as we're gonna get to a pet... Annie I'm 40 weeks pregnant and pretty hurt about the whole thing Yesterday in Costco I thought I'd broke my water but turns out I pee'd my pants... then after dinner I thought I was having contractions but turns out it was just freakin GAS... LAME
