We have a backyard!!! And the boys get to play on grass!! I love it. Can you tell? They do too. Teagan loves to turn on the hose and make mud. What else does a 4 year old boy need? Maybe a tramp, but we'll get there someday.


We also got some guinea pigs last month. They are cute. A little loud sometimes when they see you and decide that they are hungry, but still cute. The brown ones name is WeeWee. I think. Teagan kinda named him. He got the name from the way that the guinea talks to us. It sounds like an alarm. You know, WeeWeeWeeWee. So his name is either WeeWee or Alarm. Trent likes to say his name is Al. So I guess it's just whatever comes out of your mouth.



The black ones name is Sneaker. Ty came up with this one. He says that he thought of it because he sneaks around. And he thinks of the shoe too. :)


Did I tell you that Pixie got lost? She was let outside to go potty and the backyard gate was open. I didn't notice that until I opened the door to let her back in a couple hours later. Oops. She had run off. We looked for her for days. But nothing. So now we are hoping that she's somewhere safe with someone that loves her. We miss her and Teagan brings her up sometimes. After we didn't have her for a while, that's why we got the guineas. They are a good substitution I think. The boys love them. They get to take them out in the backyard to eat the grass. It's their favorite activity. They'd stay out there all day if we let them.

I'm so sorry about Pixie! She's a tough one to find once she wanders off. I hope she's found a happy new home.

Your guineas are cute! I love the name WeeWee! Although, at first I thought Teag had begun potty humor.

I hope we get a backyard too someday soon!

Your grass is so green! Sorry to hear about Pixie but I am glad the boys are lovin' their guinea pigs. I am with Shelly on the potty humor. :)
