An Open Letter to Kevin's Sisters

Dear Nicole and Heather,

Seriously, are you two trying to give me more gray hair? I really don't need a lot of help in that department. Although Kevin LOVED his Christmas gift from his sister's, I think it will be the death of me (or should I say his Ipad?)! I've tried for a day and a half now to get the apps he choose onto his IPAD. First problem I had? The print is just so small on how to follow the directions. Problem number two, the code just wouldn't get it self accepted! Yes, I know, it was probably me putting the wrong code in, but the printing on that wasn't much bigger! Problem number three, getting it to sync. Now I have the gift card loaded to his account and three, yes, three new apps downloaded,if only I could get them onto his IPAD!!

My request to you, Nicole and Heather, next time you get him an Itunes gift card . . .

make sure he is at your house or you are here!!

Right now I'm looking for the book I bought about a year ago to help me with such problems. If only I could remember where I put it . . .

Love, MOM

PS Kevin really does love the thought of one day having more apps and songs and movies on his IPAD.

THE DIGITAL STORY OF THE NATIVITY

Christmas Decorations

Well, some any way . . . The Santa door.
Toy Story gets the top of the tree.

We went to Venice!

Well, at least it felt like it could be, for a minute any way! The Venetian has a wonderful new winter display up and we decided to see what it was all about.

The tree outside was really pretty. It was probably between 150 to 200 feet tall.

Kevin loved all the people in costume walking around.

Most of the group ice skating.

Love this shot!!

December is going to be so much fun!!!!

I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas

This is a song I've enjoyed for a few years. Imagine my delight to learn that Isa was singing it last year at her pre-school Christmas program. Although Isa and her class did it much better, here it is for all to enjoy!

Thanksgiving Fun

Calvin, getting his stuffin' out of the birdThe bird, isn't she pretty?
Kevin taking pic's

Calvin and John, in their "Cracker" hats. The funny this was after the picture's were taken, Calvin and John were the only ones who continued to wear the hats!

Catherine and Kevin

John and Catherine

John and Catherine brought some Christmas Crackers with them (yes, we know it's not Christmas yet) and we popped them before eating. It was fun to see what they had inside and read the jokes and trivia. Of course they are a European tradition so John had to explain some of the jokes to us . . .

HAPPY THANKS GIVING

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!

Wordless Wednesday

WOW

Guess I've been busy! Not sure doing what, however this has been a very neglected blog . . .

So, I guess I'll try to get something up for tomorrow!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Mark!!!

I must say, one of the things I love about you is your ability to always make me laugh. Most of the time you don't even mean too, it just happens! So we wish you many more birthday's with many more years of laughter. If you are lucky I'll be there with a camera in hand so you never forget . .

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

For some reason blogger didn't keep the first picture when i posted. Now it won't let me rearrange to what you see is what you get!

A Night With Sha Na Na

Last night I headed off with some of the funnest people I know to enjoy a night of the 50's. We started the evening at Steak N Shake, and had some of the best hamburgers and shakes we've ever had!

The guys waiting to be seated.

Then it was off to see the show, Sha Na Na.

Great friends enjoyed drinks and music together. They all could really shake their booty too, but after the show started I wasn't allowed to take photo's.

After the show they all got pictures and autographs from the guys in the group.

Thank you David and Sara for thinking of us all. It's always fun to hit the showroom with you two!!

Buddy Walk

What better way to start Down syndrome awareness month, than with the buddy walk. There was some cloud cover that helped to keep the temperature below 100 degrees! It was still hot and these guys did a great job for their team, The Cool 21's!

Kevin taking a break from all the running around with the littler one's.

They all have such a good time here. They are just having fun with friends and being silly.

Well, I had a bunch more pictures, but blogger didn't like them I guess. Who knows where they went . . .

Any way it was a great time had by all and if you want to see more, they're on face book!

Stupid Drivers Rated PG

Stupid drivers should not be allowed on the road! The stupidest of all drivers got me today *sigh*. I was giving John, a friend of ours, a ride home today as Cal is working on his van. I was going to take the 215 because it's a straighter shot and not a lot of stops. Some how I let John convince me to go on down Centennial. I must admit part of the reason I agreed to go that route was to prove to him why it isn't the better choice. I think I proved my point!!

Any way I was heading west towards Lone Mountain with this ridiculous driver in front of me, she kept slowing way down then would get back up to speed and then do it all over again. Finally she put on her right blinker, so as she pulled her car the right I pulled toward the left, should be good right??? WRONG!! stupid beotch!!! Decided to pull a U turn! Meaning not to the right but sharp turn left, right into ME.

Collision! I refuse to call it an accident, the only accident I see here is that some one let her get a license. So I get out of the car, guess who comes screaming towards me??? Yes, idiot driver!! She's throwing her arms in the air (she's got an arm cast) shaking her cast at me and says something really stupid . . . my husband is a cop and you don't get away with hitting a cops family! My thought "well my husband is a mechanic so there"!

So long story short who do you think got the ticket??

What the hell!!!

Apparently you are allowed to make a U turn any where in Clark County unless there is a no U turn sign. Since my van ended up (because her van pushed it) in the turn lanes the collision is MY fault!!

Yup, wish someone in my family was an officer of the law . . .

Needless to say I will be fighting this one.

My poor faithful van.

We've tucked them up but if you look close you can see were the side air bag is.

Here it is hanging in the back! The force even made the TVs pop open.

So after they were done writing up the report and I had dropped John off, I decide I needed an ice tea. I pull into McDonald's and what does the silly girl say too me???

Have a nice day! Ya, maybe tomorrow . . .
