Christmas Program

My daughter Danielle goes to Fox school. Fox is a very small school. It's the same school I went to. As a matter of fact, we had several of the same teachers. Fox has about 500 students Kindergarden- 12th grade....or at least it did when I went there. Anyway, I digress. The band teacher that they've had for the past several years has been real bad about doing Christmas programs during the day, but not repeating the program in the evenings. For some reason this year, he pulled his head out of his ass...err butt and actually had one in the evenings. I mean really, they want to gripe because parents aren't involved in what their kids do at school, but then they want to do things during the day when parents can't be involved. The Christmas program was really cute. My two nieces Kimberly and Kristina were in it too. They're the ones on the right hand page. Kristina is in the top picture on the right hand page. Kristina was was very animated to say the least. LOL

Christmas 2005

Well, I guess you can guess that I don't scrapbook in order either. I have a ton of pics that I am behind on. I tend to end up doing stuff that is more current. I don't know why it's so hard to go back and do the older pics. I procrastinate on Christmas pics too for some reason. Christmas is absolutely my favorite holiday though. I think the reason I struggle with them is because my sister in law and I do a scrapbook for my mom for Christmas every year and I always end up doing Christmas pages for her book and then I'm too burnt out to do them for my book. If I was smart, I would just take them to Staples or something after I'm done with hers and make a copy for my own book so I'm not having to do them twice.

Birthday LO

I've been threatening to post some scrapbook LO's, so here we go!! They're going to be in three separate posts. These are LO's I did weekend before last when my friend Mandi and I went to TX to scrapbook at a lady's house. Her name is Susan and she's a great hostess! We had a great time and I got 3 LO's done and then I made some cards. This is of my birthday and my niece's birthday. Our birthday's are on the same day. I shared my birthday with my Grandma Ward. She was born August 25, 1900. I always remember growing up, we would have our family reunions in the summer time and at every family reunion, Grandma always had a cake and everyone would always talk about her birthday and I always thought, "yeah, but what about mine? I was born on the same day!" LOL She was just a little older than me and had a little more to celebrate I guess.

Maggie

This is my puppy Maggie. Well, okay, she's not much of a puppy anymore. We had lost two dogs and Cory and I both knew that we wanted another dog. Cory got a Jack Russel. I did a lot of research on what kind of dog I wanted before I actually picked a breed. I looked at Great Dane's, but they have so many health problems. I thought about getting another Rottweiler. I had one when I was a teenager that I got from my uncle. A trip to the animal shelter changed my mind though. I seen a solid white boxer, but his card said that he wasn't good with kids or other pets, so I knew he wasn't the dog for us. I started watching the paper for boxers. I looked in the Sunday Oklahoman and I seen an ad for boxers and it said they had some white ones. I called the lady and I went up the next day. When Maggie came out I knew she was the dog for me. She was so adorable. She had a cute little half mask on her face and a few little spots that you can see in this picture. She is such an expressive dog and absolutely funny. She still thinks she's a lap dog though. I think she gets jealous because Cory's Jake Russell sits in his lap all the time, so she doesn't understand why she can't be up in my lap. I let her up in my lap and we cuddle up. I can't take her sitting on me for too long because she has a tendency to lay on my belly, or she lays on my legs too long and my legs go to sleep. I would get another boxer in a heartbeat though. I don't think any other dog will ever live up to my Maggie though :)

Super Bowl

Well, I guess I'm lucky. Cory is having to work tonight, so I don't have to watch the superbowl!! LOL I know there are women out there that are sports nuts, but I'm just not one of them. Don't get me wrong, I love to go to a HS football game and I can watch pro ball on TV. It doesn't bother me. I'm just not going to choose to watch it when I'm here by myself. If we had a group f friends that wanted to watch the game and was going to come over, I could get into watching it if there was a group of people. The game was on a while ago and I was sort of watching a little of it...more watching the commercials than anything. I did see a cute commercial that I liked. Mr and Mrs Potato head were driving in a convertible down the highway. Mrs Potato head kept griping about him driving too fast and her hair was getting messed up, then he came around a corner and she hollered "sheep" (because there was a herd of sheep standing in the middle of the road) and he slams on the brakes and her lips fall off down the cliff. She's staring at him and of course she can't say anything because she doesn't have lips, so she changes out her eyes and puts on her "angry eyes". LOL You really had to see it, but it was cute :)

Okay, here's my gripe about football. Some of the pentalties that they call. Holding....isn't that the whole purpose...keep the other guy from going anywhere with the ball?? Blocking...duhh...you're supposed to stop him once he gets the ball. Pass intereference....once again duhh, the whole idea is to keep someone from getting the ball. LOL Face mask penalties I understand because you could break someone's neck grabbing their helmet like that. Then there's the whole frustration that the penalties are called against one team, but then the other team can turn right around and do the same thing, but that penalty doesn't get called. It's the same way with HS ball though.

That's my thoughts on football. LOL
