Cover your ears cause the unmentionables are screaming!

Picture this....You woke up before the crack of dawn to do insane combat training. After an eight hr shift you finally arrive home for supper. You are dog tired and by 9:00pm you are more than ready to hit the hay. You walk into your bedroom and see your bed all nice and comfy waiting to heal your sore achy muscles. Wait! What is that smell? As you look more closely you notice that the sweet face above has peed and pooped on your bed. Yes you heard right. So, we take the comforter and wash it up almost breaking our new washing machine because it is to large for it. One problem though, unfortunately it went right through the feather bed and it had to go into the garbage.

Did you kill the dog? You ask. No, she is still alive. However that is not the end of the story. That sweet little face has done it 4 times in the last week. I have never seen someone so angry with their animal. I am so frustrated. I am tired of doing laundry and as of last night if she did it one more time she was gone. Well....I have had the bedroom door closed all day. I opened the door to make the bed and grab a load of laundry. From the time it took me to walk from my bedroom into the kitchen she did it again. It has taken everything from me to prevent her from being dropped off into the bushes and never seen again. I know she is not sick because she is eating, drinking and does it no where else, lucky us it's just on our bed.

I need your opinion. Is it time to say goodbye to our Boo, or do we stick it out and hope this is just a phase? What would you do???????

The Water Horse Adventure

I can't give you our review until you take a walk in my "Water Horse" adventure. While Ginny was taking a road trip with Nana and Opa the boys and I decided to make a date of our day. We left Home around 11:30 to meet daddy for lunch. Though we didn't get a tour due to how busy it was we did get to see the cars coming in and some very important people leaving.

From there we hurried off to the theater. The first mistake I made was thinking the movie started at 12:50 when really it started at 12:40. After taking 10min to find a parking spot we finally made it inside only to find a huge line up. Of course we couldn't take the express machine route since I was using coupons. After a 15min wait listening to Keegan get all flustered about being late we finally made our way over to the popcorn line which was also a mile long.

Finally we entered the theater. It was pitch black and the movie had already begun. Of course I had to enter at the most scariest part in the movie. Picture this... Here I am with my hands full of goodies and I have two kids chanting over and over again "mommy hold my hand, mommy I'm scared. I finally got everyone situated and gave them their treats. Malakai was literally shaking with fear as he stared wide eyed watching something making all kinds of crazy noises hiding and running through out a work shop. The only thing I could do was remind them that they knew what it was and that if they wanted to they could close their eyes. That didn't really help seeing as the sounds were actually what was scaring them the most.

When the part finally ended they had a few laughs and got a little more comfortable. I was however a little surprised through the whole film. There were times that I was worried about the soldier stuff but then when it came to other parts those soldiers were the least of my worries. I remember thinking at one point. "wow, this is almost like Jurassic park". There was one part in particular with a puppy (that Malakai took a liking too) I kept repeating over and over in my head "don't eat the dog, don't the dog".

At the end of the movie both Malakai and Keegan responded with "That was scary" Keegan really liked it though. I realized that we have some very serious issues seeing as his favorite parts all consisted of the army.

All in all I thought for sure that we were going to be dealing with a night of massive nightmares but I was wrong. Malakai did however wake us up to say that he had to go pee and he was scared to turn on the light.

From what we didn't miss the only time magic was really mentioned was the fact that this "monster" was a legend and some said it was magical. It came from a egg etc....There was one instant where the water horse was asked to use his magic but he never did. It was a real action packed boys movie and I am sure it wouldn't be as scary as it was for my 8 1/2 yr, old seeing as a shadow still tends to scare him.

However I do believe if this was the dead of summer and we were watching this movie I think all fishing would come to a serious halt and and there would be no talk whatsoever of going in the boat let alone swimming in the lake.

All in all we give the Water Horse 3 batman symbols out of 5

A Wii bit of New Years fun!

Happy New Year Everyone! This year I didn't even think that I would get our Christmas letter out before Christmas let alone New Years so don't worry, Once the kids are back in school I will get them off to everyone.

Christmas was a lot of fun. We spent time with both sides and really had a relaxing, enjoyable Christmas. Of course we had the dune buggies out and had a blast attaching a sled to the back of one. Ginny and Malakai had the most fun with that.

For New Years Christy came over with a ton of board games and her new Wii. Needless to say we had such a blast with the Wii that we never even opened the board games. Check out the pics...



The best part is seeing the facial expressions!





I see why they put warnings on the hand controllers. It could get dangerous





Check out the expressions in the mirror.

As you can see we had a great time with family for the New Years. This year I am not going to make any special new years resolutions but here are a few thoughts.

~Things are a little scary around here with the significant wage cut so I think our main goal would be to let God take care of our worries and our griefs.
~Hopefully I can keep my blogging up to everyones expectations this year. I wouldn't want to get deleted from anyones blog list, especially Mikes! we all know he is making his cuts! lol
~I would however like to add more bloggers to my list so if your interested let me know.
