Just an update!

Hello everyone~
Just a quick update we have been so darn busy, well on Sunday Kriss & I went on the snowmobile poker run, there were alot of people & with this being our first one we really didn't know what to expect! There was about 300 snowmobilers there, they had 5 check points set up though out the 24.1 mile ride, where we would draw a card out of the bucket & they would punch our poker cards, the best I could get was a pair of queens, and Kriss got 3 of a kind w/tens so not bad, but most of all we had a great time, it was also snowing all day which made it even better, we were a bit sore come Monday as the trail was very rough with all the snowmobiles on it but would do it again in a heart beat!

Monday & Tuesday~ Nothing great back to busy, hectic work, we are so darn busy that at the end of the work day you have been so busy that it fills like you didn't get a darn thing done, which I'm sure I'm progressing somewhere but my desk sure don't look like it! One good thing about it the days go by really fast & so does the week so the weekend comes faster!!

Today~ Wed was another basketball practice for Carissa, coach wasn't there tonight as he had a family emergency or something so one of the girls dad coached witch for him never doing it before he did a great job! I'm just not starting to get use to being a sports mom as Carissa has never been into playing sports, unless it was racing & of course I know how to do that! LOL She tired soccer for a season and absolutely hated it and she plays basketball outside with the boys and seemed to like it so I made the suggestion for her to play on a team I'm so glad I did cause she loves it, she is picking up the rules of the game quite well as all she knew is how to make baskets, and she is now finding out that there is more to the game then making baskets!!

I'm the type of parent that don't force her to play a sport, I figure I will make the suggestion if I think that she will like it and she can either do it or don't do it & I will have no hurt feelings if she don't like my suggestion!!! So far that seems to work we have now figured out that she absolutely don't want to race which is very unusual as I figured that would be the one think that she would want to do since she has grown up at the race track since she was 2 weeks old and loves it!! But we will see she may eventually change her mind!!

The most important part of today is that Kriss & I celebrated our "anniversary" we have been together 10 happy years today! As I say happily unmarried!!!

I hope that this week has brought joy & happiness to each one of you, as I'm headed to bed so I can get up tomorrow and go to work yuck but hey I'm working for the weekend!! As we have another busy weekend planned in the snow!!

Take care, I think about each one of you every day!! Sorry no pictures this time :~( I have kinda slacked on the picture taking which is very unusual for me, most of the time I hear put that camera away you have enough pictures already which is a famous quote from Carissa!!

Another Basketball Saturday~

Today was another basketball game for Carissa, they had to be at the school at 8:15 am for pictures & their game was at 9:00 so we had a few tired girls, but they sure didn't show it on the basketball court they were ready to go right at the sound of the buzzer

They played one heck of a game, they work really good together so anytime you have that combination your going to have a winning team, well that was just it they won again! Score was 8-6, close but heck they won, I think they started getting tired towards the end as there was a few girls missing so that meant more time in the game for the rest of the girls that was there, cause they held the other team at zero until the fourth quarter, but they weren't going to give up until the final buzzer. Carissa got a surprise today with her grandpa & grandma surprising her and showing up for the game, she has been bugging them all season to go. The team is now 2-1 not bad for a bunch of rookies!

Hope all of you are having a great weekend so far. Tomorrow Kriss & I are going on a poker run on the snowmobiles at Little Naches, we have never done a poker run so it should be fun. Carissa is going to stay and go to see Alvin & The Chipmunks!

Happy Wednesday!

Yeah, we are almost done with the work week!! Today was another extremely busy day at work, more stress!! Yuck, I will be happy when we slow down! I'm still trying to get caught up from when I was on Vacation darn me for taking one!

Today was also another Wednesday of basketball practice for Carissa, this is her first year playing & she loves it and looks forward to practice on Wednesday's & Friday's with her games on every Saturday! Her coach it great, especially when he has a team full of rookies, there is only one of them that has played before, they are currently one & one they lost their first game last Saturday but coach said it was the toughest team where the team has been together for 4 years and they all also all on the team at the YMCA so they have a lot of experience! The best part is they are get along great, not bad for being a bunch of girls!

Well I'm headed to bed as I'm "kinda" addicted to blogging so between doing this & my-space, I haven't been getting to bed till 1:30-2:00 am, and 7:00 am comes really early! OOPS! Kriss does it so I have been doing it to but I'm the worst person in the morning so I haven't been very pleasant to deal with in the morning, darn alarm clock who invented this bad household item anyways! LOL :~) Take Care......

The Reptile Man at Carissa's School

Well I got home from work today & Carissa told me that the Reptile Man was at her school during the day & he was going to have another show at 7:00. So she wanted to go! We have went to the the actual Reptile Zoo in Monroe & seen all the snakes, he has the top 10 worlds deadliest snakes, 2 headed turtle, alligators, and much much more. She isn't into the snake thing but thought since it was at her school & all the kids were going she thought she needed to be one of them! So off we go to her school, the turn out was amazing I can't believe that many people showed up with their families, the "Reptile Man" aka Scott Petersen has a degree in Zoology & Education & has been featured on Disney's Bill Nye The Science Guy. He explained all the snakes, what they eat, how deadly they are, where you can find them. So his knowledge of them was just amazing, he had a King Cobra that was 13 feet long & he put it on the floor, & had him put his head up & flair it out, then he put music on & this snake danced to the music, it was something you would see on TV, I thought it was really neat & (I HATE SNAKES)!! Something that I also didn't know that each type of snake, makes a different sound, he had them do the sounds one sounded like a huffing sound. Interesting!

I didn't bring my camera tonight :( but here is some of the pictures that we took of these Reptiles when we were at this Zoo last summer! Unfortunately I don't like the snakes so I didn't take any pictures of them.
This was the highlight of my day! Hope all of you had a great Tuesday, & a happy Wednesday tomorrow as I will be off to basketball practice with Carissa.
