Hi folks. It has been a while since I have posted on here. Just got busy with life mainly.
Thought I’d stop by and see how things are going and give everyone an update (any who may even be slightly interested – rumor has it, there are a couple of you…)
Family: Still going strong...
Started with the twins over a year ago. Had them since birth. Fully adopted when they turned 2.
Then this summer we adopted the teen girls.
Now we have the biological brother of the twin sisters.
I think we are done adopting for a while. With our original 3 biological boys, then 5...

Good news - looks like the idiot American won't be burning the Korans.
Bad news - looks like American Free Speech and our constitution isn't something worth fighting for unless we agree with it.
Good news - radical muslims around the world still hate Christians, Americans, and any other...

Monster is settling in fine. I'll post pics of his new home I'm building in my garage in a month or 2. For now, he is in one of my large tort tables, enhanced to meet his needs as best I can for...
Annah and Viktoriya made the news. So proud of them :)

So the herp society I’m a member of was looking for folks in the group with monitor experience. Sadly, or prominent monitor expert had recently passed away and nobody else was chiming in.
As a kid (and to this day) my favorite critter has been monitor lizards. My dream was to have...
So my twin daughters have a little brother named Brenden. We have become friends with his family and he comes to his sister's b-day parties, and we go to his. We see him other times as well, as we want them to be able to grow up knowing each other.
So the family that has him is not able to...
The herp society \ rescue I'm a member of needed a home for a young sullie (about 5yrs old, but not really sure).
It is about 11 inches and fairly mild pyramiding. The shell is kinda thin and brittle feeling and has signs that is may have or used to have MDB (kinda sunken and mishapen in one...
We picked up our piglets a few days ago. They are fitting right in on the little 'farm'.
I'm still working on their pen, but for now, they have run of the place. They definately add a different element to the little farm. New sounds, new antics. Should be interesting to see what...
My 2 teen daughters were on a trip with some of our family friends down in California. Matt, the husband, had to leave early for work, so Kara, her 2 kids, and my 2 kids were driving a suburban pulling a 26 foot travel trailer (like a big RV with kitchen, bathroom, sleeping areas) and working...
My 2 bigger sullies share this shed. It is insulated and has a door on each end. It has a space heater for the winter, and ceramic bulbs over each of their beds.
I just tore it up and moved it to this spot. So it looks a mess. Will give it a cleaning, a coat of paint, and some stain for...
Adoption day for the two older girls :)
It was just last year we finalized on the twins... Now here we are again...
Enjoying the baby goat:
This is the farm where we picked out our 2 new piglets:
Had one of the homeschool groups over to meet the critters...
Dozer has been up to his usual antics lately. Again probably inspired by stories of the infamous 'Bob'...
He rammed my 8yr old in the back pretty hard. We were sitting there with his house moved and torn apart all over his yard. Ethan was just helping pull some nails and sitting in the...
Kinda cute. What kind of turtle?

I know there are other goat, tureky, duck, goose, and chicken farmers here... But wondering if any of you are experienced in backyard pig raising?
Thinking of getting a piglet or 2 and rasing it\them to the ideal weight (~250 ish) and then filling the freezer with quality organic (or close)...
Our goat finally went into labor (actually right on her due date).
I noticed the change in her ligaments Sunday night that is supposed to be a sign that she is about to go into labor. Sure enough, she started contractions soon after.
We put the twins to bed and the rest of us gathered...
Have a few pics of my tort yard from last month I thought I'd share.
The weeds are out of control and need to be weed wacked and mowed down. I had been hoping the 2 torts would be able to keep it trimmed, but that just isn't happening. Maybe when i eventually have all 3 in there...
