SNAKE!!!

This morning I woke up, took a shower, got out of the shower, and went upstairs to find my mom freakin out. I went outside to take a look and saw what she was lookin at. There was a big garder (sp?) snake in our backyard. So being the cool person I am ;) I went outside to catch it. I caught it, put it in the bucket, and put it in the shade without even having to touch it!


What I went out and saw.


Me, the brave one of the family, saving us from a snake! ha.



It didn't like me so much - it took off.

The Living Aquarium

This past weekend me and my family went to the Living Aquarium down in Sandy. It was so awesome! Here are some of the pics we took.

Stingrays and Jellyfish


Moon jellyfish. So cool!


Miniature stingray

I TOUCHED THE STINGRAY!!!!!

Sharks, Eels, and Pirhanas


They had nurse and tiger sharks. They were pretty big!

Not sure what this was, other than an eel

Who knew pirhanas were so big?! I couldn't see any teeth, but they are still creepy!

Alligators, Snakes, and Seahorses


He kept starin at me. Kind of creepy.


This is their anaconda. If I remember right, it is supposed to get up to 20 feet long, 1 foot wide, and 300 pounds. Totally crazy!!!

Cute little seahorse!

Electric Eel

Oh my gosh...this guy was so cool! Whenever he would send out electricity it would show it on a sign above the tank.

Then off to the side it had a thing where you could touch both the + and - metal buttons and it would shock you. It was fun up until Bec and Nate took my hand and held it on it. ha. Luckily it didn't hurt, just wasn't comfortable.

Penguins!




Graduation

Charlie graduated from Advanced Obedience Class at Petsmart. I wanted to do the Canine Good Citizen test with him, but he isn't quite mature enough to do it. They can't walk with a gentle leader (which he has to do right now...pulls too hard without it), so we'll be going back for another class to work on that. He loves class! I would definitely recommend going to Petsmart for dog classes!!!

My 20th Birthday

Marcy 4th, 2010. I had a great birthday! I took the day off of work, relaxed, then went to dinner with a great friend, went home and opened presents and ate cake and ice cream. It was definitely a relaxed day!!!


Opening up my presents. Charlie definitely helped me open them up!


My amazing cake! It was a Strawberry boston cream cake! SOOOO GOOD!!!


Wonderful flowers that I got from Anna! (Forgot to send you the pics...they were gorgeous!)

Charlie's First Birthday!!!

So I know some of you will roll your eyes at this post, but I did celebrate my puppy's first birthday. It was the middle of December. Ha. I got him some new toys, a new rawhide bone and the rest of us ate some cake. Hey, I will do anything for cake ;) haha.


Us celebrating Charlie's birthday. Complete with birthday hats :)
