The Perry Petting Zoo

Just thought I would share our pets with you.....This is Jacob's hermit crab....he got him/her in January after waiting patiently. We actually now have two...Jessica wanted one. They are fascinating creatures.






This is our newest member..."Cupcake" the hamster. Jessica bought her with her allowance. She is fun to watch and play. Interesting is that she doesn't like to run IN her wheel but rather on TOP of it. Today I put her in her ball so I could clean her cage and I had trouble finding her. She made it all the way to my bathroom from Jessica's room. Very smart.








On the right is Jacob's guinea pig...Mr.
Guinea. He got him for his 6th
birthday. So he is 2 years old. He is
calmer then Cupcake and does like to
be held and hand fed a carrot or
lettuce. He also "talks" more and
when you open the refrig he can hear
it all the way into the kitchen and he
squeaks really loudly wanting a
"treat".





This is Bailey. Our first baby. She will be 12 years old this year. She is very loving and wants to be around people at all times. Jessica and Jacob enjoy hugging on her and snuggling with her on the floor. She gets very excited when it comes meal time, treat or a walk.













Last but not least this is Jacob's "Beta Fish." We actually have two. Jacob has one and Jess has one also. Not sure of their names but Jacob gets very excited to see them swimming around.











Well that's about it for the Perry Petting Zoo. That's enough animals for us. Mark said no more.....It is fun to see the children playing with them.
I just got finished cleaning all the cages for the day......yippee.

If anyone wants to come buy and check out the Perry Zoo, feel free to come on by. We are open M-F 8-5. Admission is Free. Love to have ya.

God Bless,
The Perry Family.

NOT ME MONDAY

Well I am going to try it again....being challenged by MckMama.....

I did NOT wait this long to finally write on my blog........
I did NOT spend 45 dollars on my daughter for her to get a hamster and then I did NOT spend another 35 dollars because the hamster DID NOT escape from the first cage (within 10 mins of putting her in there) - NOT me. I am NOT a sucker for my children's happiness.
I did NOT agree to get a hamster when we do NOT already have 2 beta fish, 2 hermit crabs, 1 guinea pig and 1 dog. No we are NOT calling ourselves the Perry Petting Zoo.
I did NOT let my children sleep on the floor in my daughters room next to the hamster we did not get.
I did NOTtell my children that they had school today even though they do NOT hoping they would sleep in.....and they did NOT wake up at 6 AM and come in and ask me what time it is. I did NOT yell at them and tell them to go back to bed.

My daughter did NOT stay up till 10:30 pm so she could watch her new hamster that she did NOT get named Cupcake.

Well to finish....I am NOT praying that we get snow tonight for another day off.

God Bless,

-Jen and Family

Merry Christmas to all

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry CHRISTmas! We will be down in Florida for the celebration. So may everyone have a blessed Time. I wont be posting until we get back. Not looking forward to the 70 degree weather, had to pull out our shorts from storage but it will be a nice time with family.

This picture was taken at Jacob and Jessica's school. Their last day of school until after the Christmas break.

God Bless, Jennifer and Family

NOT ME Monday......

Well this is my first attempt at Not Me Monday....so here goes.

I did not let the children stay up until 11 pm watching a movie with a friend and they did not wake us up at 6:30 AM the next morning.
I did not lock the bedroom door yesterday so that I could get a few moments of piece and take a very long nap....
I did not bring down some christmas gifts for my children and put them under the tree, and then I did not put them back up in the attic so Jessica would stop bugging us about opening them and shaking them to figure out what they are.
I did not wrap 100 bright christmas lights around my sons bed so he could have some christmas decorations only to light up the whole room.
I did not mail out the last of my christmas cards today only to stand in line for 30 mins.

Well thats about it.

Love Jen and the family

Happy 8th Birthday our Precious Baby Boy......

Today is Jacob's 8th birthday.....time sure does fly by.









It seems like just yesterday you were our little boy running around saying "I AM TWO....I AM TWO...."
You are so precious to us and we Praise God for giving you to us.
You are so special. We love the way you laugh at almost anything....you have such a joy in your eyes.
You are a precious big Brother to your little sister and so giving and gentle with her. I am thankful that you both play well together and I pray that this love and support will continue as you get older.
You have such a sweet and sensitive heart towards others and may that continue to grow and last.

Thankyou Jacob for bringing us Joy in our lives. Thankyou Lord for giving us this precious gift.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY our precious baby boy.....

We love you....Mommy and Daddy.

Wordless Wednesday

GOD's Sense of Humor

I wanted to share a simple thing today......Tomorrow which is Weds. I was planning on getting the oil changed in our car. Well today I was thinking about and asking God how to plan my day out so that I could have time to work out at the gym, pick up an item at our church, GET THE OIL CHANGED IN THE CAR and also have time to clean the house and pick up the kids from school. I have to say that he answered that tonight. I have to chuckle. I went to the gym this afternoon after work and then went to start my car up. WELLLLL it would not start. It did start up BUT then it would die. GO FIGURE. I also had to pick up the kids right then too from school. SOOOO Mark went and picked up the kids and we called a tow truck. Not sure what is up with car BUT at least I dont have to worry about getting the oil changed. HEE HEE>

We tried to get a rental car tonight also BUT couldn't so looks like I will be home tomorrow and have plenty of time to clean the house. GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS even in the strangest ways. I am learning to laugh about the stressful moments too. PRAISE is that our car is still under warranty.

Have a blessed day.
Jen and the family.
