Meet Burt

Yes, the time has come. Its getting hot again and that means the scorpions are out full force. This is Bob. He is sitting in our driveway in this picture. He is about 3 times the size of the scorpions we normally see. Our friend Joe insisted we take him across the street and set him free and Tony and I refused. I didn't want him crawling his way back and into our house. I killed Bob's cousin in our house last night and he wasn't that big. I am brave enough to kill them by myself but I would have flipped if I would have seen Bob in our house. He is ginormous. Bob was only with us for a short time. Enough time to take a few pictures and then Tony smashed him with a mallet. He doesn't look that big in this picture but he was huge!!

In other news:
Our next doctors appointment is next Tuesday. We are hoping to find out the sex of the baby. I'm also starting to actually look pregnant instead of fat. My belly button has not poked out yet but I'm looking more and more round. I will post an update and a pic of me at after our appointment next week!!

Review of the IPad

I am an avid reader. It is one of my favorite things to do so I figured I would buy a Kindle. But then the Ipad came out. After talking to one of my co-workers who could not say anything bad about it, Tony and I decided to check it out. It's freaking awesome. Yesterday, Tony bought me an Ipad for a really early birthday present. We both were too excited to wait for my birthday.

Of course I had to play with it for hours. I could sit comfortably in our recliner and surf the read and play computer games if I so choose. I even downloaded Pride and Prejudice for free as Amazon offers a lot of free classics. I'm making myself read some of the books that I should have read a long time ago.

Anyways, Tony had an Iphone and I hate the touch screen. I couldn't text on it easily and I felt frustrated that I would never "touch" it right to get it to work properly. That was one of the reasons I was wondering if I would even like the Ipad but the touch screen on it is amazing. Very easy to use and you have the option of buying a keyboard and a mouse if you get desperate. The screen is amazing. Hardly any glare and you can read with it in the dark. No more keeping each other awake with our nightlights if we want to read. Purchasing books is not that expensive. In fact, I was impressed by the array of free classics that were available and book prices are well priced. Definitely cheaper than buying a hardcover book from even a place like Walmart. The apps and games are also well priced. Very affordable. I haven't downloaded pictures onto it yet but the graphics on it are amazing and I've seen pics downloaded on the Ipads at the store.

I haven't really found anything I don't like about it yet although the internet can be a little slow on it. It's still fairly speedy and I have no other complaints.
