Welcome Kooper - our newest family member

Joshua got a new pet, his name is Kooper.... He is a Red Eared turtle that lives in a 20 gallon fish tank in the boys room.
He is really neat to watch, he is still trying to get use to all of the movement and noise but is doing great. He does not get up on his docking station much when we are around but I know he will with time. So just wanted to share Kooper with everyone.
Love always, Jill and family

Welcome to the family Kooper. I know a funny story about Jill and a turtle (or 2). I will be nice and not tell it here, but those of you who have known Jill most of her life know the story and can laugh a little. Never thought Jill would have a turtle in the house. Unless it was a chocolate one. Hee Hee.
I am giggling. So who else knows the story of Jill and the turtle?
Are you giggling too?
Love you,
Jodie

Hi, I will be glad to share the story of Jill and Jodie's turtle. The Turtle lived on a TV tray table in a small plastic bowl with a plastic palm tree and one other turtle. Jill was just walking and could reach the turtles but she wasn't suppost to play with them. So instead she decided to bit one almost in half. The turtle lived almost a year, (Papa Jim says she killed it but I don't think so) so this is my story so the turtle lived. Jodie was NOT HAPPY with her sister's tast in snacks. We moved the turtles to a higher spot and Jill's taste in snacks changed to anything but homemade cookies.
But that is another story...

I am giggling and rolling on the floor. Oh what memories.

Love Nana

PS Kooper is too big for Jill to bite the one Jill bit was the size of a silver dollar.

Boy am I glad you told that story!! My kids love that story. James even told it during a oral report over sea turtles. The whole class was roaring with laughter. Jill we love you bunches! I hope you can laugh about it now too. Just think what you can look forward too with EM.
Love you Sissy (even though you KILLED my turtle) By the way mom the story goes she bit both of them killing one and injuring the other one. I have to admit they did look delicious.
Love you sissy I really do!! Do you still love me?
Love
Your sis'ter
