Glofish!! SOOO COOL!!!

http://www.glofish.com/

I bought 3 glofish last night, and I may just have to get a whole new tank just for myself and these beautiful fish!!

They're a specially bred thype of Danio.. and essentially are just danios... BUT...

They've been genetically altered to have DNA from jellyfish that make them flourescent! the first fish in the breed is altered, and then just bred... the color is just passed on. :)

This is a picture of a regular zebra danio... We have 3 of them in our tank already. I wonder if they'll all learn to get along and school for us. :)

Camera Woes

I can't believe it. Giddy has ruined a SECOND camera of mine. He dumped this one in a cup of water. i can't wait til this stage is over. My dad got this one, and it was really nice, but now the lights are a little overexposed, and look filmy. I have to see if I can go take it in, I do not want to have to buy another camera, yikes!
I feel lost without it. I'm so upset with all the pics I take now.

For Better or Worse

i had to save this when i saw it.... my oldest son Gabey has a stuffed bunny that he's had since he was 6 months old... we're having an issue right now because he's restising the inevitable "throw bunny in the wash" routine.

(email forwarded to me) Koalas in the Australian Heatwave 2009

(this email was forwarded to me, and it was too sweet not to share.)

Australia has had a record heat wave, resulting in devastating fires.
Koalas, if you don't know, are not social and don't come out of trees or into the suburbs very often. Reason being, under normal circumstances, they don't usually drink water in the normal manner. All their food and water requirements are provided from the eucalyptus leaves that they eat. That's why they sleep about 22 hours of the day because the calories and liquid intake is not enough to keep them awake all day long, however, they consume enormous amounts of leaves in that time.
The following photos are even more amazing once that fact is known.
KOALAS DURING THE HEAT WAVE IN AUSTRALIA (2009)

From an Australian citizen:
I truly am from a remarkable country! And we have THE cutest animals, (AND some of the most deadly - I know!) but, I thought you would appreciate how cute this is...! At home in Victoria the temperature has been above 44o C, (about 111o F) all this week and they are forecasting another week of 44o C, (about 104oF) plus temperatures. Power is failing, trains have stopped running because tracks are buckling under the heat . Its just scorching, and it seems that the people are not the only ones suffering.
Check out the following photos of a little Koala which just walked onto a back porch looking for a bit of heat relief.
This woman filled up a bucket for it and this is what happened!

My crazy toddler, Gideon, is in a contest for Fox 8 News, I picked out a picture that shows his awesome puppy eyes, and white blonde hair, and pouty lips... I am always amazed that the Lord made him so gorgeous.

You can go to this site on July 6th to vote for him. I'm not sure what the prizes are... I just wants bragging rites. LOL!


Vote for Gideon in the Beautiful Baby Contest for Fox 8 News!!

Count ME!

A Gallup survey released Friday found that 51 percent of those questioned call themselves "pro-life" on the issue of abortion and 42 percent "pro-choice." This is the first time a majority of U.S. adults have identified themselves as "pro-life" since Gallup began asking this question in 1995.

Count ME as one of them. I don't understand how we can have so many rescues for animals (they're sweet, and the people are great to do it) and yet be able to throw away millions of humans! Where's the logic in that? A woman's body HOUSES a baby. The baby isn't wholly part of her body, it is a being all it's own, with it's own DNA, it's own feelings, and fears. A woman should not be able to choose to kill, just because her offspring isn't outside her body yet. If someone killed their son when he was 8 it would be murder. What's the difference, I ask?? Size? Potential to run away? We're so selfish in this world, we're willing to sacrifice HUMANS for our convenience, our reputation, our comfort? Some people sacrifice their children to Idols, we sacrifice our children to the god of Selfishness.

ADOPTION NOT ABORTION. I know friends who have had to go all the way overseas, and paid thousands of dollars to adopt babies, while we toss ours in the garbage. Let's wake up and start caring for our nation's babies!

Long Video of Frappie in her play yard

I have sad news. My baby bun, Keeley, died. She was at the vet for a week, and just didn't pull through. I'll miss her so much, but I'm so glad to have Frappie back.
Here is a video of Frappie in her play yard. I just kept filming, because she kept rewarding me with more fun binkies and jumps. :)
