Meet the 2 newest members of our family...


Like many families, "Webkinz" is a well-known word around our house.   So, it wasn't a huge surprise when Riley and Payton wanted to spend the last of their Christmas money on a new Webkinz pal.  

Riley already knew that she wanted to find the brown cow after seeing the one that our friends brought over a few weeks ago, she's had 'brown cows' on the brain!  And to our friend Amy and her girls, I'm glad that we found a brown cow, or we might of had to ask for joint custody!  Now, the cow's name is a little different, but it holds great humor in it's meaning!  It's named after one of her friends at school that is always smiling and giggling.  At lunch one day when Jon came in to eat with Riley, we were all sitting at the lunch table and he began calling her friend "Smigiggli" (pronounced smi-giggly).... the name has now became so famous that there's a lovely little brown cow that is smiling and giggling right along with her!  Precious, isn't it?

Payton became attached to this cute little gray owl.  I wouldn't normally thing that of an owl as being 'cute', but this one really is!  Just wait until you scroll down and see for yourself.  He knew all along that his owl was to be named "Hoot" after the movie.  The amazing thing about this is that it's really been about 2 years since we watched that movie... so the fact that he can look at an owl and it makes him think of something that he watched 2 years ago (and I'm sure that he only watched it 1 time) and on top of that, he can remember the name!  For only being 4 yrs. old when he saw the movie, I can definitely say his memory is better than mine!  Again, might I add... Precious, isn't it?

Now, the moment that you have been waiting for.....  meet Smigiggli and Hoot...  Aren't they simply adorable???
