You already have two broken ankles Shane, we don't need a third!

Hallie's first time snowboarding!

She rocked the mountain all by herself!!!

Thanks to my sister for the cute pictures, taken on New Years Eve when we were all up at the mountain together. We had such a fun time and the kids ask almost every weekend when can we go back to board! Look out Winter Olympics, here comes the boarders...Hallie and Ryker.

Get Ready, Get Set, Terrorize!

This is the mess that is made every morning while I am in the shower for 4 minutes tops!
6 curling irons in a tangly mess, squirt bottle, two half chewed tampons, bristly hair brush and in the process of emptying 100 count box of q-tips. Fun way to start the day!!!

Guess who's 36 Today?

Yep, you guessed it by these cute pictures...Shane! This guy is the love of my life. He is the most easy going and always happy person. He is a hard worker and loves to be outdoors. Shane has a passion for hunting and fishing. Ryker is his shadow, and he loves it (most of the time).

I am so greatful to two wonderful parents who raised their son well. He has his mom's compassion, kind heart and definatly non-confrentational personality. Shane get's his hard work from his dad. His dad is the one who taught him the enjoyment of hunting and being together as a family in the great outdoors. We hope you have the best Birthday ever! You deserve it...We love you with all our hearts! Love Liss, Hallie, Ryker and Ledgie

Schneider's Skink:

Checkerboarded orange and gray on his back.

Mauls this thing for hours

After hours of research on which lizard would make the best pet, this is the one we chose. Ryker has been dying to get one so this is his early birthday present. It is a skink and very friendly. It is a lizard made just for kids. He has been mauled for the last five days and hasn't hissed or bit anything or anyone. His diet is easy, pellets, vegetables, fruits and crickets every other week. My favorite part is the tank, we got a big one from Petsmart and I have to re-decorate it everyday from little hands knocking things over to catch the lizard. He doesn't have a name today Ryker says. It has been Gollum, Randall from Monsters Inc., Orangie? and Talon...if anyone has suggestions we are open. Just what we needed another pet to add to the Memmott zoo, luckily this one is very easy maintance. We just hope it survives two little boys and sissy's friends.
