It's a Guitar Hero, Sing Star Christmas!!!


Merry Christmas to everyone! Here is Alanna the night before Christmas in her Christmas Jammies. Riley is wearing her new blue collar.

Devon came for a visit on Christmas Eve and he opened his new jammies too.

Devon wasn't sure of the whole opening the present thing, we've been taking them away from him all month, and now we're giving them to him.

Regen is very interested in what mommy is holding.She loves eating the paper, everything goes into her mouth.She loves playing with her beads, she is rolling over and scooting backwards now.Isn't this going to look so cute on Regen?

When it rains, it pours!!!

We are the proud owners of a new water heater. Our previous heater was leaking and so upon further investigation, Kirk said the bottom was totally corroded. When he removed it from the garage, he left a trail of corrosion and water heater all the way to the side of the house. We don't even know how the water was staying inside that thing, maybe the corrosion was piled up just perfectly inside to prevent it from all running out.....hmmm maybe that's why our water bill has been higher than normal lately.
Then I get a notice that my registration has expired....six weeks ago. Normally I get a letter stating it's time to register my car, not this time, so I go online to register the car and I find out I need to get the emmission test thing...so I carefully drive it to the emmission place and it doesn't pass....ugh!!! So now I have a 30 day temporary plate and I have to find a place to take the car for repairs and try to pass emmissions.
I still have a paper to write and a horrible math final on Tuesday.....argghhh!!!! I hope everyone else is doing good, I hope to feel the pressure lift after finals. Love to you all.

It's Finals Week

I only have two classes this semester, but good grief, they are so time consuming! My math class is killing me, it's statistics and every concept is new seeing that prior to this and the bone head math I took last year, the last math class I took was 9th grade math... 30 years ago!! My child development class is alot of reading and class presentations and essays. I have one more presentation and a math final to study for and then I have a month break. Maybe then I can finally get all the rest of the Christmas shopping done, Christmas card and letters written and mailed and day care taxes organized for tax time and maybe even rest....well I can dream can't I.

Regen is getting easier to care for and Devon is happy crawling around with the other kids. It's still hard to find the time to study though, maybe next semester will be easier. I'll be taking an on line computer class, and two education classes; The exceptional learner and Cultural Diversity.

I can't find my camera, the last time I saw it was when I took Kris and Jamies family picture. I hope I can find it before Christmas :( Enjoy everyones blogs. Write more, Love to all Debbie
