Boy Watching...

My little turtle. He's doing the military crawl. He uses mainly his upper body, and every now and then he'll use his feet.

Marsel loves the camera.

Daddy was playing with him. You can kinda see his top teeth.

Big Bro and Lil Bro.

Told you he loves the camera.

Adrian playing with his toy Santa brought him.

Cindie's Christmas Cactus.

Trouble mid leap. He was all over the place when I was trying to take his picture.

Zeak's nose. He was trying to put his face in my lap. He needed some lovin.

There's Zeaky's face.

I'm doggie sitting. (Zeak and Trouble.) So here's a few of them. And I took a pic of the Xmas Cactus b/c Cindie and Robert are always gone when it blooms. I'm the one who gets to enjoy it.
Wanted to post a couple of pics. I have to go get ready for work.

For Freida

Here's the one you like. I agree, it's a good one.

Xmas

Hope everyone had a nice Xmas. I was busy but nice. I worked until 3 on Xmas Eve. We had the fam over our house that night. There was 21 total. We had so much food. Too much actually. Not complaining though. Xmas morning we let the dogs wake up Marsel. They don't get to do that too often. Joel was in such a hurry to get him up. Then once he was up, Marsel wasn't opening the presents fast enough for Joel. Marsel told him a a few times, It's Xmas morning Dad, slow down. What's the rush. This coming from a 7 year old. I used to tear open everything. I couldn't do it fast enough! I would wake my parents up. And as I got older, it got earlier and earlier. Not Marsel, I think we've had to wake him up every year. Anyway, he had a good Xmas. Adrian too. Later, in the evening, we went to my mom's. Dinner was so good. We just chilled. It was very nice. Except I've been fighting a cold. I hoping the worst is over.

Burrrrrr...

Adrian and I went for a walk this morning. It was pretty cold. For Floridians that is. Plus it was windy. (I would say how cold it was, but all of the out of staters would laugh.) So Adrian had a reason to wear the hat that Connie gave him.

I was brushing my teeth while Adrian was playing. I went to check on him and this is what he looked like. Oreo had given him a few kisses.

Wishful thinking.

Marsel and Grandma checking out the fish.

Not sure which it is: Adrian trying to catch the marlin or is the marlin trying to catch Adrian. (Thought it looked like that b/c Adrian is the one w/ his mouth open.)

Poor Marsel.

This afternoon we took the boys to Bass Pro Shops and Outdoor World. They had free pics w/ Santa. While we were there we ate at Islamorada Fish Co. - So good. Marsel got a kick out of it. He was climbing in and out of the boats and tents. He looked at the fresh and salt water tanks they had. And they're HUGE!!!! He was on the ATVs. He got to play w/ remote controlled cars, play this shooting game. Picture w/ Santa came out good. Santa looked real too.
It was a good day. Sucks I have to go to work tomorrow. Bummer.

Looking at the picture...

As I look at the picture of our tree, I noticed it leaned a little. Oh well. :) It's a bit messy this year also. I really had to push myself to do it. But it was worth it. Joel said that when he and Marsel got home that night, Marsel was surprised that it was done. And he liked that I hung up his 2 ornaments that he made in school. Just wish I had been there to see him walk in.

Our Tree

Marsel hiding. You can't see him.

"The tree". It was the one and only we looked at. They spun it around for us and we both said ok. It was the fastest treeing buying we've ever done.

Our Pickle. We have one too, Freida.

All done. It only took me 3 days to do it.

Xmas Eve this year will be at our house. So little by little, I'm putting things out. I've been so busy though. I'm working at our neighbors house in the a.m. and p.m. I go over in the morning, and then again after Adrian is in bed. It doesn't make for a lot of time to do things around the house, but it is extra money. In fact, I need to get off the computer and go over there. Hoping to finish, so I can come home and clean a bit before I go to work.

The pictures it took me forever to get to.

Sam going to Homecoming. Looking good!

Sam and Ryan. Looks like Rob Thomas from MatchBox 20 to me.

Sam trying to talk to Adrian, don't think he was listening.

Trey and Adrian.

Adrian trying ice cream for the 1st time. It was Cold Stone, he loved it. But it's ice cream and he's my son, how could he not!

What up?

Trouble biting his feet.

Brian and Adrian.

Angie, Brian and Adrian.
