Our family grew...

It happened this past May, our nephew Christian (Dude's sister's son) became our newest member of our family.  I haven't put any pics up of him since you all know my problem with the whole phone and laptop not being getting along.

SIDE NOTE---I FIXED THAT PROBLEM AND ALL IS AWESOME! HENSE WHY I CAN NOW BLOG WITH NO WORRIES.   

Fitting right in with Nathan, loves being on the Xbox.

 I got him and Nathan to "owl"

 And Planking                                                            Playing games with the others

 When he can to live with us he told us his wrist hurt so we took him to the Doctor and found out it had been broken (9 months earlier) 

 He opted for a cast to help it heal instead of surgery, however when he got home the first day he was a bit regretful of the choice.

 So at the next visit (4 weeks) it had no change so we then decided to have the surgery.  They placed a screw in the bone to force it to heal.  

 He had to wear 2 more casts after that and was released in November to play basketball.  We also found out the he had a broken finger that was never taken care of either but do to the kind of break it was there was no fixing it.  

 He fit right in at school, making friends and playing sports.  It has been a big change for him but he has done really well.  He even went to the Winter Dance, it was a Masquerade Ball.  Looking GOOD!!

So now you know Christian.  He also turned 16 in December.  He went from being the youngest in his family to now the second oldest in ours.  We have enjoyed every minute of having him with us.  

Phone trouble

So as I mentioned in my last post I am having issues with moving photos from my Droid to my Mac laptop.  This might sound trivial to some and earlier in my life I would have agreed but now it is a problem that I just can't overcome.  I have so much I would like to update on here, that I would even go as far as saying those who follow me will be AMAZED at all I have to share with them.  Fingers crossed that this month brings that great change for me and my sad pitiful situation.  I did change my header on my blog, cause Picnik is leaving (sad face) and I wanted to get it updated with all the kids (rugrats) before it is gone.      

Here goes....

So I know I am behind and I need to get back into the swing I am going to try and sum up the last 6 mths.  I don't know how many people even read my blog, since it went into LAME mode but I hope who ever does enjoys this.  Also I would really like to start making those Blurb books of this blog, maybe show the kids later in life  I did keep a tiny record.  Side note also I have a good reason for the LAMENESS my laptop is a Mac and my phone is DROID so I can't just plug my phone in and upload any more....here is to getting an iPhone soon I hope.
With that said........August
I know my last post was for Nikolas birthday but we also had Family in town.  My brother Alan and his wonderful family, Mellanie, Andy and Jonah.  I called my awesome friend Kim Skinner (click on her name and it take a peek) and we got family pictures.  She is the best and with my family and all the craziness.....well I am sure you know the rest.  Here are a few of my favorites.

the LAMEST post EVER!

I have been reading blogs all day and thinking to myself, 

"Why can't I be that creative".  There are times sure that I pull out something amazing but lately I am just not feeling it.  I was told when I quit working the flower shop that I would miss making arrangements and the creative feel, I told them no way.  

Being home was what I wanted more than anything.  So are you now saying 

"Shana do you feel different now?"  the answer is actually NO!  

I love being home and it is at home that I want to now be creative.  But here is what I am finding out.  It takes $$ to be creative, when I was working I was creating with in an essences other people's money, now at home it is my money.  

And people let's face it my money is well scarce.  

But I have seen a few things today on blogs that I think I can make with out having to go and shop even though I would love love love to go shop.  

(i would love a glue gun cause I could really use one of those but I have a glue pot so I hope that works as well)

SO

Here is to the lamest post I think I have done in my blogging life and the promise to start getting creative at home!

Hairy legs or Razor burn??

So I was getting ready for church Sunday and realized "OH MY I NEED TO SHAVE MY LEGS"  I looked at my shaver and thought to myself, hhmmm how old is this?  Oh well what needs to be done needs to be done.  Shower finished and getting dress then lotion on the clean legs.  Holy Heckers.....I cried out it burns it burns.  I then realized that shaver I wondered how old it was.....was incredibly OLD!  I still have pain. I have forgone the need to have pics to post for this cause I know all the ladies know what I am talking about.  I know this is a sad and even pathetic post but I needed to get it out there.
