Happy New Year!

Last night the family and a few friends came over. We were just going to have just a 'few' people, but when you add the kids all up we had a small army in the playroom. Yes, Stinkydog, we had a party last night. It was very tame and despite the very large bottle of wine Dad brought he didn't get drunk, nor did anyone else, and drool on my couch. Gee, And I was prepared this time with plenty of extra towels to put down in case. Anyone got any neat resolutions that they made last night? Not me, no way!

Old Year

With the new year right around the corner I have already started to make those resolutions that will go strong for about three weeks and then start to fizzle and remain unresolved for the rest of the year. But while thinking about those resolutions I always look back at the last year. I thought it would be fun to go over a few of my ( and the family) highlights from this year!

1. Connor turned 10 in March, to some not a big deal, but my baby hit the double digits. He was as excited as I was sad.


2. Lee got married. Who could forget that?!!!


3. I ran the 1/2 marathon again in 1hr 49 minutes and 4 seconds faster than my first one.


4. Connor made his first touchdown in the last game of the season. I still get teary eyed thinking about how happy he was.


5. We spent our first summer with our in ground pool. I'm hiring a lifeguard next year.


6. Blake finished a 100 mile bike ride. Woo hooooo! Way to go!!


7. Casey grew her hair and cut it off for locks of love. She made a plan and stuck to it, I ought to have her make my news years resolutions.


8. I had my twenty year high school reunion. God, I am getting old.
9. Casey hasn't yet got sent to the principles office this year. YES, this is big.
10. Blake and I were married 16 years in September, that puts us on the better side of finishing 20 years. Again, Woo hooooo!
11. Connor got his braces off and the payments stopped. Woo hoo!!? Wait.....Oh shit, now Casey needs them.
12. Dad got divorced from wife #2. A blessing to all. This was not a negative thing..believe me.

Okay, I obviously don't have enough events to keep anyone interested. That's why I never do those 35 interesting things about me or other things I get that say what is so great about me. The little things I'm sure will mount up if I could think of them on a whim. The big things always stick with me. And I'm sure I'm forgetting something. I like to leave out the negative, so that may be why the list isn't so long. I'm hoping I figure out my camera enough to post the updated pictures!!!!!!!Happy New Year!!!!!

middle aged??

Blake and I are going to a party tonight for some friends of ours who are turning 50! 50 I said! I'm not even 40 and Blake is just barely in his 40's. I'm feeling really old about this because we actually know and socialize with these old farts. Oh, and they have grandkids.

Hannah Montana who?

Finally!!! The big show was last night. And actually, I enjoyed it. That little girl can put on a show. The costume changes and dances were fun. And yes, I was dancing right along. Casey and I went with her friend Kameron and it was cute to see them dancing along to all the songs. I thought it was neat they were together and will always remember this as their first concert! It was kinda hard to believe that this is the spawn of the achy breaky heart guy. I'm glad it was good, we were disgruntled enough as it was that we had so much trouble getting the tickets and all. But anyway, it's over and it was fun.

Thanksgiving Part 2!

Well, the kids and I made the trip to Austin to see Auntie Lee and Uncle Sam. It was good, if not great. The food was WONDERFUL that Sam cooked for Thursday. The wine even better (see drunk pics)!! The kids were ummmm. Okay. Casey the best, only really wanting to be the center of attention most of the time. But not ever really causing too much trouble. Connor not so good, not realizing irritating the shit out of his mother was not the best route of being the center of attention. I only threatened his life twice at Aunt Lee's and only once inside Ikea. I don't think the guy next to us in Ikea minded much as he left smiling. Cousin Lauren trailed along with us and was good, but very quiet. I would have never known she was there except she ate her weight in gold. Other than the very cold (low 40's) temperature all weekend it was a lot of fun!!!! I would have pics except my camera was fresh out of batteries!!!! EEk!! See Stinkydog's site instead!!!
