Where have my lizards gone???

So last year around this time I was complaining about a certain lizard problem. Well, I am apologizing now and asking them to return. We are being attacked by ants!!! They are everywhere!!! And we can't seem to get rid of them. As much as those lizards freaked me out, they sure were useful to have around.


This picture is from last year. I saw a lizard and had to get proof. Notice it's teeny tiny size next to the animal cracker. I'll try to clean my house next time I get a lizard picture. :) Oh, and I was also informed that it was actually a gecko. What do you think?

Brock News

Tuesday was Brock's 26th birthday! He is now as old as me for a few months...
We had family/friends over for some cake and ice cream. Brek had lots of fun dipping the candles in the icing, licking the icing off, then dipping the candles back in the icing. Yummy. We apologize for the spread of Brek's germs amongst the partiers.


Pretty big 8 year old, huh?


The start of bad family pictures for the Payne's. We took a few, and of course none of them turned out good of everyone. So here are a couple not so good ones of everyone. :)




This is a funny one of Tyce...


Love this one. I took Brek outside for a few minutes, and when I came back in they were both asleep.

So the big news is that Brock is officially Coach Payne now! Well, I guess he has already been Coach Payne. He's just officially getting paid now...starting next year. He will be coaching the offensive line in football, the boys' freshman basketball team, and will be the assistant coach for powerlifting.
