Nada...

That's what is going on here... Well, there is life and all that goes with it, but other than that, nothing earth shattering... We did attempt to go bowling yesterday, but all the lanes were reserved for league bowling, which is probably just as well, who knew it was $50 an hour to bowl these days?!?  The bowling alley is also a laser tag/bumper car/arcade/etc "fun place" so the kids had fun anyway...

I love these things for some reason, I don't think the kids are quite as enthused about them as I though... :)

I just hope Spring gets here, to stay!  Ah, a few more weeks...  

Spring Is Here!!

I, for one, am SO glad winter is over you really can't make it up! Of course it will still only be in the mid 60's to 70's for the next few weeks, but warmer weather is right around the corner!! Taylor and Sarah (girl next door) decided they wanted to take tennis lessons, so they had their first lesson today...

Taylor getting the hang of it...

I don't think the guys were too enthused about just watching, I think they thought they would be able to play on the empty courts, and that wasn't the case... 

I asked them if they wanted lessons as well though, they weren't interested... :)  Chance wants to go somewhere where he can ride his dirt bike, Tanner didn't really say what he wanted to do, he does want a mountain bike though, so who knows...  Not too much else going on around here, getting ready to get outside and finish some of the projects that aren't quite done, but I won't be starting any NEW projects, that I can tell you!!  (I hope anyway :)

R.I.P.

So the kids came running into my office earlier in the day, "Dad, Woody died!". I looked over and Chance was holding the lifeless hamster in his hands... I was in the middle of resolving an issue at work and just said, "Okay, well you better go bury it.". So they did...

The burial site...

Not sure if the Scriptures were necessary, but I wasn't in charge of the 'service', so not sure... :)

There lies Woody...

So not really sure exactly how it died, it was the one who had the babies not too long ago and then ate them (with possibly a little help from the male hamster, not sure, I didn't observe any of it)...  Speaking of baby hamsters, Taylor's hamsters have six little babies, still alive too!  Yeah, they all have hamsters, but Tanner only has one.  Of course Chance is down to one now too, but he seems pretty set on getting a replacement for Woody.  Why is a female hamster named Woody you might ask?  Well, Chance thought the male was a female when he got it and named it Elizabeth, then when he figured out it was actually a male, he didn't want to confuse the poor creature by changing it's name, so he then just named the female Woody... :)

Yeah, not too much else going on, it has been rainy and wet all weekend long, but I KNOW Spring is right around the corner, so that is very exciting!  LOT of things to get finished up around here once it's warm!  :)

New Project Perhaps??

We took the kids to the park yesterday, Tanner loves the skate ramp, so now he thinks it would be great to have one in the backyard...  Hmm.  I could practically make one out of the scrap lumber I have lying around, we'll see how that goes... :)

Waiting their turn, although Chance isn't nearly as excited about skateboarding as Tanner is...

Taylor prefers to just observe... :)

On another topic, my how times have changed since 1955... :)

A Year Older...

Carolyn and the kids had a party for me this afternoon...

A handmade card from Taylor...

42...

Yeah, just another day really, but the kids were appalled when I told them they didn't have to get me anything...  I do love getting things from them, no matter what it is!  Now I've got to go see what's wrong with the pool pump motor and Carolyn is cooking ribs for dinner...  :)

Fun Stuff...

Joshua told me about this site, kind of fun to play around with...  :)

PhotoFunia...

Not Much...

Going on that is... It's just COLD! Oh well, Spring will be here in a few weeks...

Funny.  Or at least I found it rather humorous... :)
