Happy Monday Everyone!

Today is the FIRST Monday in 2008! So how is everyones New Year so far? Ours is okay. Nothing special really. We all have each other, our health, a roof over our head and food in our bellies. Thats all that matters right? ...Maybe a little bit to much food in some of our bellies...LOL! So whats that thing your suppose to do at the begining of each year? Make resolutions or something like that? You swear to loose weight and exercise more, it lasts a few weeks and then your back to eating cookies and watching tv on the couch? Yea so I'm not even going to make a resolution about something like that. A waste of time I think. Me not eat cookies and chocolate and ice cream and junk food in general? Not gonna happen. Maybe my resolution should be to keep the house more clean...Umm no, not gonna happen, another waste of time when you have 4 kids trashing the place 5 minutes after you just cleaned it up. Hmm lets see... Stop drinking so much soda? Thats a good one. Maybe I'll cut back on all the Dr. Pepper I drink. Thats gonna be a hard one though. ;) I'll stick with that one for now, for a couple of months, lets be honest, i MIGHT stick with it for a week or so. LOL! Ahh guess I'm not to good at resolutions. So do you have any????

I'd like to take a moment to congratulate my sister Julie on getting the internet! We got to chat online last night with our webcams and microphones. Very kewl. Miss you sis!

Today, so far, has gone to smoothly. The kids got up without a fight. I didn't have to drag anybody out of the bed by their feet. They ate breakfast quickly. They got themselves dressed...well except kailey put her shirt on over her Pajamas, yea that was funny! They were ready for school before 7:45am. Now thats almost a first! CJ and Kristopher have been getting along for the most part this morning. CJ has even been listening and hasn't thrown a fit yet...so far. Kristopher is taking his nap now. Me and CJ are watching "CARS". We actually haven't watched it in awhile.

OH and before I forget, Saturday night was the Father Daughter Dance...also known as "The Me and My Guy Snow Ball". Chuck actually danced with the girls like 7 different times. I'm jealous. He has only danced with me once and that was at our wedding. Sorry I don't have any pictures. I didn't even get a chance to eat until the end of the night and even then I was eating and working. Another lady was taking pictures though and I hope to get ahold of her pictures and see if there are any of them dancing or something. They really had alot of fun. I did too. But boy was I tired afterwards and my back was killing me from standing and running around all night. Kailey keeps wanting to know when the next dance is going to be...she gets mad when I tell her she has to wait till next year. lol.

Well I better run. Its almost noon and I gotta put CJ down for his nap. Kristopher will be up soon. I hope everyone had a great New Years and it continues to be great. Love you all,

Tamagotchis

Some of you may think this is a crazy post. A childish post even. LOL! But when you hang around kids 24/7 i think they rub off on you ALOT! Cassie my 7 year old received a Tamagotchi for Christmas. I used to have one when they first came out, back in 96-97'. They are these kewl little handheld games in the shape of an egg. They are virtual pets that you feed, clean, and play games with. They grow and learn. Very kewl! Well Kailey was upset she didn't get one. They were all sold out here in town, so we drove to the nearest air base about 30 minutes away to get her one. While we were there I figured I'd get myself one too. I know, I know, I'm a big kid. But they are very fun. We can all connect our Tamagotchis and play games together. The girls love that! Its kewl to see your Tamagotchi on another screen playing games with your daughters Tamagotchi. So anyways. I joined a New Years Hatch on a Tamagotchi website. We all hatched new Tamagotchis on New Years and have been keeping up with their progress since. SO you have to include pictures and such. SO I wanted to share some of the pictures with you guys. Here we go:

First they start off as little eggs:


Then they hatch and it tells you if they are a boy or a girl:


A named my boy ZOWIE!

Then it grew into a toddler:


Here is ZOWIE playing with a ball:


Then ZOWIE grew into a Teenager:


Here it is Taking a Bath and Brushing His Teeth before bedtime:



I'm expecting ZOWIE to grow into an Adult today. So maybe I'll update about him in a few days. Kailey named her little Tamagotchi boy "CJ" and Cassie named her little Tamagotchi girl "SARAH". So far they all 3 are buddies. The more they play together the more they will become friends.

Well for all of you that think i'm crazy for playing with a game that says "For Ages 7 & Up", I'm sorry, but I'm still a kid at heart. LOL!!!

P.S. The Father Daughter Dance is tomorrow night. Look for tons of pictures Sunday Morning!!!

Happy New Years

I hope everyone has a Happy New Years! Last night I got to watch fireworks out of our bedroom window that faces towards the city of baumholder. It was beautiful and they lasted for at least 30 minutes. The kids slept through them all. Maybe when they are all older and in the states we can stay up late and watch them all together somewhere where they display huge ones!

Yesterday we cut CJ's hair.




Yea we messed it up pretty bad. LOL!

Here are the rest of the kids:
