I’ve been noticing a few things about my little man, he seems to be a protector. By this I mean if he sees one of his siblings being mean to the other he will run up and pop them. This has

Other times if his youngest sister, BabyGirl is crying he will run up to her and hug her and say “Awww.” If she doesn’t respond to him he will simply …read more

However, none of that will ever change the way we feel about Memorial Day. We began taking the kids to the cemetary when they began asking …read more

Down ink Richmond a baby sea lion somehow got a little too far from the water and found itself on the Richmond expressway. Thankfully an officer saw this young sea lion and called a volunteer with the Marine Mammal Center was able to help.
Don’t think this little guy made catching him easy. She played with the volunteer and officer for a while, went into hiding under the police car, running (bouncing) around the vehicle as they came closer and back under the car. They’ve already named her Moody too, but not because of her mood, the officer that found her …read more

I was shocked when this piece of news came across my email. But Memphis police are searching for a woman that used a baby to get away from security guards. Talk about someone being a coward. This woman was inside Wal-Mart when she was caught shoplifting. She grabbed her 2-month old nephew and tossed him at a guard coming at her and got away.
