Lucky...

Yeah, I'm sure everyone who reads my blog saw this on FB, but whatever... :) Here's Lucky! Chance and Tanner each have a bearded dragon, they laid 18 eggs, I was going to get an incubator for them, didn't realize they cost as much as they did, so I made my own, following instructions of course... :) Anyway, only one made it to the end! So Chance and Tanner named it Lucky... I did buy them a real incubator for Christmas though...

He is loving life, checking out his new world. We were at Big Canoe when he hatched, so he was stuck in the home made incubator until we got back. He seems to like his new environment...

I don't normally like lizards, but he's kind of cute! :) The kids are ecstactic that one made it, I am too!!

Merry Christmas!!

Hope everyone is having a nice relaxing day! The kids didn't even get up this AM until about 9:00?!? Once they did though, we had a great day with gifts, food and fun! Merry Christmas!

Scene before anyone got up...

Chance and Tanner... I do realize my camera takes shitty pictures... I did get a new one for Christmas, but obviously took these before I opened it up... :) So out of the hundred or so pictures I took today, these are about the only decent ones of the bunch...

Carolyn, I did take this one with my new camera, seems to be a little better than the other two I was using...

Taylor, one excited little girl!

Cory finally got here around 1:30, and we all had a wonderful dinner prepared by Carolyn! Now we are all just relaxing and Jessica will be over in a bit... Yes, I DO have new blinds for those doors, just need to install them... I only bought them about a year ago I guess... :)

Merry Christmas Eve...

Hope everyone has a great day today with food, family and fellowship! The kids are quite excited about tomorrow, of course I am as well... :) They are trying to talk me into letting them open a present tonight, sometimes I let them, sometimes I don't... Perhaps I'll have some pictures for you later... :)

Blue Christmas...

One of my favorite Christmas songs...

Visit...

Uncle Tom and Aunt Esther were down visiting with their son Terry and they stopped by today... It was a nice visit.

Yeah, this is the only picture we took. I was trying to remember the last time I saw Terry, and couldn't. I suppose I was in my teens...

Class Parties...

The kids love them, but I am GLAD they are over! I suppose they wouldn't be so bad if more parents would chip in, but having done this sort of thing for the past 8 years, I doubt that will ever happen...

This is basically what Carolyn and I did yesterday, go get all the stuff and then put it all together...

I actually had my camera in my pocket the whole time, but only took about three pictures for some reason... I really, really need to get a decent camera, which is the reason I hardly ever take pictures anymore, my camera takes shitty pictures... Yeah, Tanner at the party if you still haven't figured that out... :)

Now that the parties are over and the kids are on break until after the New Year, I suppose I need to do some things around here before everyone descends on the place... :) Oh yeah, and try and finish my neighbor's basement... Sigh.

Exciting Stuff!!

What a GREAT time of year! I'm sure everyone else is as excited as we are about the holidays!! In lieu of a more extensive post, I'll leave you with a picture of our Christmas tree... :) Perhaps a better post will be coming later this evening... :)

Sigh...

I am spreading myself WAY too thin for this time of year... Why I keep adding more things to do, I have NO idea! Yet I keep doing it. I have work of course, then there is the neighbor's basement which I'm not sure if it will ever get done. Christmas cards?? Haha! I suppose I'll try and get some out later this week... :) Now I've agreed to go service some servers at a Meineke, and not sure why... Not to mention the whole Room Dad thing that is taking place Friday, yeah, I'm not ready. Oh well, I thrive on it all, so I suppose it will all get done, who knows, not a whole lot of time for blogging though... :) I will try to put up some pics in the next few days... :) Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays, I'm trying to...

Yeah, Whatever... :)

I've got nothing to blog about... Well, I suppose I do, but I am too busy finishing my neighbor's basement and will be lucky to be done by Christmas... :( I literally spend every waking moment over there, and yeah, I STILL have stuff that needs to be done in my own home! Oh well...

In other news, there are only three bearded dragon eggs left, and still a few weeks until they 'should' hatch, so there may be none... Twenty days until Christmas and each day I have new "wishlists" on my desk... :) I do love this time of year, it's so fun, particularly when you have kids. Who knows, I may start having more entertaining things to blog about soon, until then...
