Working on room cont.

We have been diligently working on the room downstairs. I have updated more pictures just have to put them onto my computer.




The room will be completely done in April. It would be March but plans have changed. Joshs boss told him that he is needed across seas. So he will be leaving on March 3rd and going to India for 3 weeks and then traveling to Armenia for a week. He will return on April 2. I have told him that he can take my camera but that he needs to take tons of pictures!

This is one of the first places he will be seeing. I am really jealous!!

Pictures

These were the pictures I drew for a cover page for the coloring books I made for our nieces and nephew as well as our neighbors kids and my mom. I had a blast making them!!

THE PERFECT HUSBAND

I got this in an email from a friend and thought that I would pass on the laughter!!

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cellular phone on
a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and
begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: "Hello"

WOMAN: "Hi Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"

MAN: "Yes."

WOMAN: "I'm at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat.
It's only $2,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"

MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."

WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models.
I saw one I really liked."

MAN: "How much?"

WOMAN: "$90,000."

MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."

WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing... I was just talking to Janie
and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market.
They're asking $980,000 for it."

MAN: "Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000. They'll
probably take it. If not, we can go the extra eighty-thousand if it's
what you really want."

WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!"

MAN: "Bye! I love you, too." The man hangs up.

The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment,
mouths wide open.

He turns and asks, "Anyone know who's phone this is?"

It's been awhile!!!

These are the snacks I made for the Superbowl!!

Delish!!!

We have also been really busy with wrestling and traveling for wrestling!










State tournaments were in Butte this last weekend. E placed 6th. We are very proud of him!!

Thought this was cute!

40 years of marriage..

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table. She said, 'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.'
The wife answered, 'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - two tickets for the Queen Mary II appeared in her hands. The husband thought for a moment: 'Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again. I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me. The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish. So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof!...the husband became 92 years old. The moral of this story: Men who are ungrateful bastards should remember fairies are female.....

Odds 'N Ends

E got 4th at the Bozeman tournament on Jan 7 and 8.

Josh started putting up the closet wall for the room downstairs...



Concrete boards for fireplace surround that will be tiled...

E also had a tournament in Miles City last weekend. I don't have pictures as we weren't able to attend. He got 6th place at this tournament. He has been doing awesome so far all year for wrestling.

This weekend we have a tournament in Belgrade. I will have pictures and will update on Sunday next week.

Christmas a bit late!

The kids, even though E isn't really a kid for much longer!

All three of them played in the fort downstairs!


All the boys played with cups and built things while Elexis kicked it down quite a bit...





All of us played the Wii! Everyone had a great time!!





We played Just Dance 2 on the Wii with Mom and Dad Arlint...



I made a Peppermint Cheesecake...

I also made a Pecan Pie!

Belgrade vs. Bozeman

It was a very close match tonight.

It ended up being a loss by 2 points....

E lost but held his own the entire time it was his turn...

My bottom still hurts from sitting on the bleachers for so long this last weekend that it was still saying mean things to me tonight while I was sitting watching...

E doesn't have another match until January.

Until then we are wrestling free!

Now on to Christmas with the family!

Cross Stich

In between placements I had some extra time to finish a project I had been working on for a very long time. Here is the final product.

I have no idea who I am going to give it to or if I will wait till we have/adopt a kid. Not sure yet!

I think it turned out pretty cool!

Beautiful sunrise

While I was on my way to Great Falls the other weekend for E's tournament, I left really early and didn't have the sunrise until around the Helena/Ennis exit. I was able to snap a couple pics of it and still think it was a beautiful site!
