Sturgeon Fishing....

On Saturday Mark and Gunner had the chance to go Sturgeon fishing up by Oregon City with Nick. As you can see by the smile, Gunner was having a Great time!This was the first time that Gunner has ever gone. I think Nick was getting a little "perturbed" because Gunner was catching more than him or Mark......But, Nick ended up catching the biggest one of the day and the only keeper, so I guess he was happy. This was the biggest one that Mark caught and it was too small by an inch.....I guess size really does matter :D

Vegas Trip.......

I know it was over a month ago that we were gone, but just have not really had time to post about our trip to Vegas.

Had a great time, we saw Ron White, HILARIOUS, well worth the ticket price!!!!! Saw Jubilee, good show, worth seeing, Saw Nathan Burton, Magician, he was good/funny (tickets were free) and went to Mystere, that was good too. Always wanted to see a Cirque du Soleil show!!

Grand Canyon was good, will need to go back though, take the boys. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and when we landed (we took a plane/bus tour), there were snow plows clearing the runway.That's a comforting site, when you are in a 20 seat airplane! Could only go to 1 of the 2 lookouts, the other lookout was too icy and the buses were sliding, not a good thing at the grand canyon.....It was kinda weird seeing snow at the Grand Canyon, kinda an oxymoron, ya know......

This is the view from our room, not sure how, but we were on the 25th floor, in a Tower/Deluxe room. Trust Me it worked!:D We did have a view of the Volcano, but wouldn't ya know it was broke the week we were there, never did see it spew!!

Here is a picture of Mark, enjoying the sites (HAHAHAHAHAAH Just Kidding!!)Ya just never know what you are going to see in Vegas!!

Had a good time, the weather was great, the drinks were strong, food was good (but not cheap!) and it was really nice to have some down time with no schedule and no deadlines. Would tell ya more, but you know the saying "What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas!"

Next time though, I am holding out for sunny, sandy beachs, with a cabana boy (yes, I still have that dream!)

Happy 14th Birthday Chewie.....

You must be getting OLD if you have to nap in the middle of the day :D




Can't believe my little boys is growing up!

~Christmas 2009~

WOW, it's over already?!! I am not sure why, but I did not take very many pictures this year. But here are some from Christmas morning...........

My angels in front of the tree with their stockings
Showing a little brotherly love!!
Me and my surprise gift from my mother in law (I have been wanting,drooling, coveting one these for a LONG time!!, now I have one!)
and then I think Gunner and Drake's face sums it all up....(they were pretty excited!)

and I didn't have a picture of Mark, so here is one from vacation :D

Good Christmas.....only 363 more shopping days until we can do it again!

Holy Camo!!!

Look what I now have in my house!!!!!! It is REALLY comfortable though! (they have a couch and loveseat to match :D)

Best Christmas Movie......EVER!!!!!

"Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse. "

Back to Realty...

Vacation is over.....Why do they go by so darn fast? Had a great time, sorry it was Vegas, can't talk about it :D...We did have a good time, I did/do have blisters on my feet. Time to start planning the next vacation, this time, I see sandy beaches, sunny skies and cabana boys (Yes, I will get that if I keep dreaming and hoping!!)

Since Vacation is over and it IS time to get back to reality, I guess I better start thinking about christmas. I have a general idea of my christmas dinner menu, but need to fine tune it and then shop for it (and of course then cook it and clean it up). My poor, sad christmas tree is pathetically empty. I guess I better get my butt of the puter and think about getting dressed so I can go christmas shopping. Silly me, I have to go to the mall now, it is almost too late to do my normal online shopping, OY!!!!!
