im back, my back, and more

Hmmm i think maybe its been awhile since i have posted here. I had to dust off the cobwebs and oil the hinges to get this thing to open up. anyways i guess im back. Last time i visited with you folks i was cooking so lets see what else i have been up to since then.

in October i went to a holloween party at my sisters house. i went as a fairy. i wanted to go as tinker bell cause thats my sisters favorite disney charcater but i couldnt find a tinker bell so i got just a black fairy outfit. what i will comment on is short dress, in victerville in october at night is not a good combination for me. it was hecka cold.

in novemeber the big event was thanksgiving. we had it at my sisters house which i personally think is a great place to have it. they have a nice big open livingroom, dinning room, kitchen area so even when people are cooking you can still interact with everyone. jim cooked the turkey and thanks to my my brother calling and saying put oranges in it. it burnt. the great thing thou is when deep frying the inside stays moist so the turkey was awesome. the one bad thing was lara got biscuits and gravey and i didnt. otherwise i love going up to there house for holidays.

december. december was the best month ofthe year for me minus one thing. i got to fly with my mom and dad to alabama to be brian and becky and the kids. it was one of my most favorite christmas of all times. i really miss being around my brother so its always cool to be around him when i can. but my favorite part was spendign a full week with Lil B. i love all my family and extended family with brother and sister in laws. but man my connection with little be is a whole diffrent thing. andgettign to spend a full week playign with him was awesome. we built forts, watched tv, chased each other around, played with cars,did alot of laughing and giggling. it was amazing. me and my brother and dad also went to play paintball. from what i understand the place we played at was really cool. it was indoor and and fun. we got shot alot, got bruised and battered but all had a good time. now i said there was one bad thing to this trip, and that was that my sister and brother in law couldnt make it. that is what keeps it from being the best christmas ever. all in all a good 3 month to close out the year ending on a high note.


now i was going to finish this all tonight but im getting tired so this will be part one and part 2 will have to be tomorrow. ill go january, feb, march and a special peice then. good night all and hopefully you still remember how to find my blog.

family beware

im officially warning my family now because im cooking dinner on sunday. i invited lara and jim so hopefully they can make it. althou i know its a long drive just to eat on a sunday night. the menu will be

asada tacos
salad
grilled green onions
gaucamole and chips
and margaritas

all i know is i shouldnt be the one doing the grochery shopping cause it would have been cheaper to just take them out to dinner lol.

uncle danny

well i just wanted to be the first in the family to make a post about it so I WIN lol. im an uncle again. if i remember right this makes me an uncle for the 5th time. that means i am getting good at this whole being an uncle thing lol. anyways Lucas Mitchell was born this morning around 430am alabama time. around 8 pounds and 22 inches long. i guess those are good stats i have no idea. he is healthy so thats the only stat thats important to me. so congrats to my brother and sister in law on there second baby and congrats to me for being an uncle again.

one more full tank shot

Ok well now that the water cleared i had to show off a full tank shot. all of these are real plants.





my 2 babys and some algee yucky. sunday is tank cleaning day so that will be gone tomorrow. i never get a good picture of these 2 together cause the female is camera shy.

and since she decided to pose for me i couldnt resist taking a couple of shots. usually i only get the male so this was a rare oppertunity for me.

got some new plants

i ordered a "couple" of plants for my tank. what i thought was going to be a total of 24 stems turned into prolly close to 100. so now i have a mini jungle. i love it thou and my fish seem to enjoy swiming thru it so that makes me happy.

and picture time

i know i spend alot of time talking about my fish tank, but i really do get alot of enjoyment out of it. they may not be a dog or a cat. they do have great personalities and its a joy to sit in front of the tank and watch the fish enjoy the home i have created for them.
