Our backyard zoo

Yesterday we had a huge rainstorm and after it stopped we were looking outside our sliding glass door and saw this HUGE iguana! This thing had to be about 2 or 3 feet long. Emmet loves to look out our huge window to our deck and just watch whatever...birds, lizards, frogs, moths...he is such a boy. He gets really excited and starts talking (his jibberish language) and pointing, trying to get our attention so we'll either come over or pick him up so he can get a closer look. I'm just waiting for the day that he catches one of these gross things and brings it to me in his little tubby palms :) It's getting closer because a few weeks ago he spotted a little beetle on our tile in the living room and was poking and prodding at it...until it started crawling away...then he stomped on it with his little fat foot. So it was pretty hilarious watching him kill his first bug! Haha! Then Ryan had to hurry and throw it away because he went to pick it up...I just know he would've tried to eat it! Ewww!

Our first backyard pet...


We have all kinds of these gross lizards EVERYWHERE...since we've been back we've found two in our room upstairs...dead in a trap thank goodness....these things just give me the creeps. As you can see in the picture...this is why there are so many of them...Ryan made me post this!!!
