Hole In One

So this is Joe's Back yard neighbors house
Apparently his son picked up a new hobby of playing golf... or not so new just made it much farther then before.Can we say hole in one
Well for a Five year old i would say he has a great aim. But i cant tell you how much this scared the shit out of me. I was inside by myself while Joe was working on the lawn. I hear a HUGE crash then *thunk thunk splash*. So I didn't even know what to say and i went and got Joe and showed him what happened. He went and looked over the fence and the kid was almost crying. But his dad was super nice unlike the devil child's dad.
So that wasn't the first time today day something scared the shit out of me today, I was cleaning the bathroom and Joe got home and i didn't hear the garage open because the fan was on and I looked up and Joe was standing there, I jumped like ten feet in the air.

Durango

So On Monday I got the pleasure of working at our Durango Office in Phoenix. We had a lot of employees out so I was floated over there so there was coverage in the morning. Let me show you how safe I felt when I Got there...
Ya so this is what is all you see from our office. It is the Durango Jail... and our Sheriff Joe's Tent city is practically right next door.
There is that little tiny street and the few parking spots and that was how close we were. Good thing there is barbed wire lol :-P
But surprisingly we are a lot safer then any of the other offices. Since a lot of our members work for the sheriffs offices they are always in there and they stop by just to make sure that every thing was ok. One saw some guy standing out side for less then ten min and came in with 4 of his swat guys just to make sure lol. And also inside it is probably our nicest office :-)

Shingles

So I figured I would Share. I got shingles last week. Joe has now figured out that i have a great plastic surgeon and that i am really over 50 lol. If you don't know it is just a form of chicken pox that hurts like crap and you can get it any time after you have had the chicken pox you can get them. Most common in people over 50. You get them due to stress or a compromised immune system along your nerves. This is all I'm going to show because they go all the way around to the front and along my bra line. They have me on very strong pain meds and steroids and antiviral stuff to help them go away. And i hope they do soon so that i can not be in pain anymore :-P

My babys

So This is my new baby. It's a 2004 Saturn Vue and it is two of my nevers :-P. Its a white car and a Saturn. But I love the car it drives great and it is very safe.It is also very clean for being a 5 year old car. Just needs a good cleaning inside and as for the out side there are only a couple of chips in the paint :-).
It looks like a baby next to moms car :-P
Oh and even better it gets about the same gas mileage as K's car. And it is quick it has more horse power then Kyles V6 Mustang. 210 for the mustang and 250 for the vue
My awesome gray interior and the dash is very nice looking it lights up a white color at night too.
So here are some pictures Joe took of us with his camera because we decided that we don't have any really nice pictures of us together. We took several pics but I only uploaded my fav and Joe's fav. This one is mine:
And this one is his. I don't like it as much because you cant see his face :-P

Christmas

I know more then one post this month :-P. So Here are some of the pics from Christmas this year. Grandma Dottie actually let me take a picture of her.
Here is Jacob, I actually only have one of him, there was no running and popping his head in front of the camera every time I took a picture.Beka wouldn't smile for me so this is what I got.
Here is Ben playing with one of his new lego sets that he got from Henry.
AJ is getting so tall, he is almost taller then me now.
And Josh is almost six foot, They were measuring him on Christmas but I didn't catch what the result was.
Here is a picture of me and Joe... I let Josh take the picture and he was having trouble with figuring out how to get the picture... I guess I forgot to inform him that you have to hold the button till it snaps. Oh and Rachael escaped before I could get on of just her.
I did get a good one of Henry, wearing the present I got him.I know that she will be yelling at me later today but here is a cute one of Stephanie. And I didn't get one of Jonah because the poor baby was sick and didn't get to come back for dinner with Stephanie, I forgot my good camera at Joe's.
I got a cute one of mom, Henry and AJ goofing off together.
And dad pretended to smile for me to get a nice one of him.
My Joe helped me get a few pictures. I thought this was a very cute one of mom and me... minus the bunny ears :-P.
And since we haven't had one of these in a long time. Joe also helped me get a very nice picture of the whole family... We got several but there were heads in front of other people for the other three.
Over all I think it turned out very well.

Lots of Pics today

So I know its been a while but here are some pictures from my Birthday and Thanksgiving :-)
Next to me is the present that Joe got me along with his amazing wrapping skills. I thought i was a good present wrapper till I saw his gift to me :-P.
So I realized today that I have not put any pictures up of my handsome and amazing boyfriend, Joe up. This is one of the few pictures that we have together, usually because one of us is behind the camera and don't like other people touching ours :-P.
Yes you guessed right, he took this one of us :-D.

Here are some of the ones i got on Thanksgiving, Rachael actually let me take a really good picture of her :-)
Here is Beka Right before dinner waiting out of the way for everything to be ready.
Here is Ben Jonah and AJ all together
So as most of you know I was taking pictures for Stephanie's Christmas card for her here are some of my favorites, most of which didn't even make it on her blog :-P.
I thought these two were cute with Jake and Beka, they came along to help and i ended up having a vision :-D
I think Jonah's face looks so cute, he was laughing at Steph and me.
And this is one of the last few we took the poor baby was so tired but he just looks so cute staring out at the water... you cant tell but he is in the middle of crying since we woke him up
So here is a picture of Joe's and my Christmas tree with all our presents under it.
It looked so much like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree before we decorated it
Hopefully I'll be able to get more pictures for Christmas. :-D
