Happy New Year!

Hey, I can't believe the year is over,it went by so fast.Lot's happened this year.Let's see,Landyn graced us with his presence in June,Anthony and I got hitched in August,we remodeled our living room,started on our landscaping,built a new gorgeous deck,traded both our vehicles in for new ones in the same day,Anthony got started on his new business,thought Bella was gonna have surgery and thank you Jesus she doesn't need it,we bought most of our stuff to remodel our kitchen yesterday,I'm so excited to get that done,such much has happened this year I can't even remember all of it,but you get the picture,oh yeah Landyn did say his first word DADA! and he is sitting up very well on his own and he is rolling over,he also likes to sing(that is because he is gonna be a rock star).sorry I don't have a pic to post I'm having problems with that today,but any way that's all for now.HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Christmas at Donnies

went to Donnies last night to celebrate Christmas with the Mchones. It really seemed like no one was there but of course there was.I really missed Gary and Carol I hope he is doing better. I really enjoyed Josh and Christy's company,hopefully we will get together again soon.Mr. Peanut sure was taking the spotlight like always,you know he is gonna be a rock star just wait and see! Bryan's B-day cake that Jenn made was awesome she did a really good job.Moms homecooked food was awesome too,it always is.Glenda looked good considering she is still working herself to death,when and if she ever stops working she is not going to know what to do with herself. I did miss the rest of her family,I haven't seen Brianna in a very long time.All in all it was a good night and I enjoyed being with everyone. On the way home there was a really bad wreck that must have just happened (because the ambulance hadn't got there yet)involving a dirt bike at Oakley's.The bike was broke in half,they were just starting to close 66.We got home and watched the news to see if they would say anything about it,they said that 66 was closed due to a wreck and there was injury's but that was all they said as of last night. Bella really enjoyed opening her present from the cats last night,she tore the paper and bow to shreds and then she realized there was a toy and she played with it all night and this morning,she loves new toys,she said thanks to the cats! well I guess this is all for now,c-ya!

Christmas is around the corner

well I know I'm getting slack on the postings, I finally got all my presents wrapped this week. that was a chore I definitely couldn't do that for a living. I got a 180 patch this week for bowling a 183 last week, yeah me! I can't believe my little bro aka Punk is going to be 21,holy crap,where has the time went?I am getting old I guess.we are going to the Denny's Christmas gathering tomorrow I haven't seen alot of them in a while.I can't believe Christmas is only 2 weeks away,this year has flown by.I went and visited Landyn a few weeks ago,he is the cutest little boy,he'll be crawling before we know it!well this is all have time for now I will try to post more often.c-ya!

Turkey Day!

well let me start off by saying that last sunday i started and completely finished my Christmas shopping!woohooo! i'm so excited,i have never in my life got all my shopping done before Christmas eve much less before thanksgiving,it feels greeeat!anyway,i was supposed to go to Scott's today but my stomach really wasn't up to it if you know what i mean,so i started doing my laundry ,i'm so sorry Scott i didn't make it today,maybe i can drop by this weekend and see Landyn,i know i won't be able to see Scott and his family tomorrow because i have to go , to Stuart at lunch and the Denny's are doing lunch also,mom,dad and Bryan are coming by later and i think Scott has to work early friday so he won't be able to make it.i got my cookies monday that i ordered from a coworkers daughter,and they are so good but i think i need to lay off since tomorrow is turkey day and that means lots of eating,yum,i really wish we were doing something as a family for thanksgiving,like we did last year,oh well. i hope everyone has a great thanksgiving!

update!

hey,i know its been a little while,well lets see i sucked at bowling last night,i have joined facebook,its pretty cool get to catch up family i don't see much and friends. we went on top of the mountain(meadows of dan) and ate pancakes(we do this every year) and they was great! i finally got 2 yrs. perfect attendance at work,i have 2 1yr. because i lost the first when grandma passed but that was well worth losing and if my supervisor at the time would have told me i could have took fmla i wouldn't have lost it but oh well. work was really tough this week,i had 3 launches to do by myself which is alot of work,it goes out to all the sales reps.(100)i'm really hating the cold weather,what happened to fall before winter?haven't seen fall yet. i had a pretty good b-day last month,got lots of good stuff. well thats all for now.

my sweet little angel

well we went to north davidson hosp. this morning,what a wasted trip. the doctor said he didn't have time to perform bella's surgery.it would have been nice if he just said that over the phone. i guess it's such a time consuming surgery alot of vet's don't have time,i think that's why we are having such a hard time getting someone to do it.we'll keep calling around until we find one,last resort will be g'boro(the most costly) anyway,bella did so good this morning,she sat and waited patiently for the doctor while all the other dogs and cats barked or meowed,she was such an angel. so of course for being so good we took her to petsmart on the way home and she got a new toy. off of that subject. i got my invitation to my 10 year class reunion,yes i said 10 years,i can't believe it's been that long,boy time flies.anyway it's a 3day event,1st night everyone meets at mellow mushroom and eats and drinks,then evidently were all alkeys and we go bar hopping after that(ah ok?) the 2nd night is at holiday inn select for houdevers,cash bar and dj(if i was to go this would be the night) 3rd day is at horizons park for a hot dog picnic. i've never heard of a class reunion being a 3 day event. anyway it cost 40.00 a person. i doubt i go,i wish it was for 1 night and alot cheaper,i'm not interested in going bar hoppin' that would have been ok maybe ah 7 or 8 years ago. i have ate at a mellow mushroom in atlanta and it was really good,don't know about the one in winston. i hate i'm gonna miss it ,but i doubt too many people will show up. if it was a 1 night deal there would be a better turn out. well until next time c-ya

IT'S OFFICAL

WELL I WENT FRIDAY AND GOT MY NAME CHANGED ON EVERYTHING EXCEPT MY LICENSE, I WENT TO SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE IN MT.ARIY AND WAS IN AND OUT IN 15 MINS.,SO MUCH BETTER THAN GOING TO WINSTON AND WAITING AN HOUR. I COULDN'T GET MY LICENSE CHANGED TIL 24 HRS. LATER SO I'M GONNA WAIT TIL I GET MY S.S. CARD WHICH SHOULD BE IN 5 DAYS.NOW JUST WAITING FOR EVERYTHING TO COME IN THE MAIL WITH MY NEW NAME! WE RENTED 300 LAST NIGHT, IT WAS GOOD BUT NOT WHAT EVERYONE MADE IT OUT TO BE. WILD HOG WAS ALL CHECKED OUT MAYBE NEXT WEEKEND. WELL MAYBE NOT JUST REMEMBERED WE GOT A COOKOUT AT DONNIES NEXT WEEKEND. WELL UNTIL NEXT TIME.C-YA!

poor little belle belle

well we found out last week that bella is gonna need surgery for her hind legs. vet told us that her knee cap comes out of place,and if we don't fix it she will be in severe pain. so we have been calling around different hosp. and we decided to have a consultation with north davidson hosp. all the vet's we 've called has told us different things and have definitely had price differences going from 1500 to 300. they say she won't be able to use her leg for 10 days,and should be recovered by 6 to 8 weeks. what is really crazy is this is hereditary and only 4% of min pins get it. my poor baby. i really can't stand the thought of here being put to sleep, i cried all the way to work when she got spaded. i won't be able to sleep all night. but as long as it keeps her from being in pain i'm for it. they say that the surgery is 99.9% corrective in small breeds.(thank god)anthony called the kennel we got her from and she has to stop breeding her bloodline. she said she was sorry and wished there was something she could do. anyway,guess bella will be out of commission for a little while.
