The Cats Have Gone Insane!

Oh gotta love the kittens...... Poor Ashes wanted to play with our neighbors dog who was visiting haha.
This morning I kept hearing something open and close in the kitchen. Ashes kept grabbing at the cubbord and sure enough there was Remmy playing in the cubbord. So now I have resorted to the spray bottle to keep them off my counters. Now that Ash has taught Remmy to get up there its two against one. I decided to use flea and tick spray as my weapon of choice. Cats HATE the smell and luckily the bottle I use shoots 4+ feet so I can hide around the corner and do it. (I dont want him to hate me tee hee) The good news is I have only had to spray Ashes once and he flew off the counter like a dog was after him. Remmy witnessed this and also has yet to step foot on the counters. So it looks like we are in the clear :)

I couldnt help it

I dont think I will be able to carry fish anymore..... I have a problem with falling in love with these guys and sticking them in my display tank. Well I did pretty good this time but this beautiful Coral Beauty Angelfish from Fiji was so stunning in color I just could not pass him up. Every day when I went out to the garage to feed him he would come out of the little pvc pipe I had in there for him and bob his head out of the water waiting for food. Poor little guy is lonely I would say....you need some friends. Well the Blue 'dori' fish and the Yellow Atalantic Tang have been best buddies for almost a year. They swim everywhere with each other. So now that I have added the Coral Beauty which I named 'Sunny' it will be a cute trio tee hee

Sugar and Kitties

Mr. Nate is getting so big. Its really weird when I can tell myself and I live with him. ha
He enjoys Bible stories, music, and walks on the beach.....oops I mean in his sand box :)
He was acting up one day and I told him I was going to ship him to China. He said, "no no mom ship me to grammys" LOLOLOLOL (he loves his grammy and papa so much)
The kittens are getting big. Jamie has finally grown to love them. I think he needed more time from Sy as I did too. Its still hard some days but with Remmy's demanding attitude you cant help but smile and squeeze him. Ashes has become very vocal. The siamies is really starting to come out. Hes also getting fat and lays around the house alot. I can be in the bathroom putting on makeup and hes meowing at me because I am not looking at him and talking to him. Remmy meows really loud when I am in the kitchen because he thinks hes getting treats. The crazy kitties

YIPPEE SKIPPY

Ahhh finally Nate doesnt have to be woken up at 3:30am in the morning to take daddy to work. Jamie's Chevy Cobalt is a much needed blessing. And now its my turn! Ahhh my new washer and dryer. Ok to start here is the story. When Rhonda and Tracy were here we were all sitting in the living room. The kids were all in bed and we were wathing tv. I hear this draining in the wall. I went over to my tank to inspect thining my auto top off was empty. Nope that wasnt it so I just went back to the couch and ignored it. Well then Ashes went over to the tank to investigate so I started freaking out. All you could see was my butt sticking out from underneath the tank inspecting EVERYTHING. Still nothing. Then noticed Ashes was looking at a couple droplets of water on the carpet. It was like from a scarry movie where you slowly look up to see where its coming from and I see water dropping from the ceiling. i stood up and as I was walking to the stairs I heard something in the downstaris bathroom. Opened the door and there was water pouring out of the celiing vents. I freaked out screaming, SOMETHING IS LEAKING we all go running up the stairs and the whole up stairs walk way was soaked. The kids bathroom light was on and the door was locked. I had tracy try to open it and he ended up doing a COPS episode with his shoulder. Once the door was opened it wasnt in there (oh by the way jamies works night shift so he was sleeping during this) turned around and there it was. The washer never stopped filling up. Good news is we got the trusty shop vac just in time and had enough large fans to blow on the carpets over night. All in all there was no damage.
Well my friend was trying to get rid of an aquarium she got from her mom. Its what I have been looking for. Its a loooong 30-40 gallon instead of the tall short that I have. Gives me MUCH more room for coral. I am running out of room and I want to get rid of the tub tank. So this tank will help me get it up off the ground and into an aquarium where it should be. Doing the 2'' of water a day leak test just to be on the safe side :) We are on day 3 so we have awhile to go lolol Nate has discovered my FarmVille on Facebook. When he saw those ripe pumpkins he wanted them so bad! So I came up with a plan. He gets to plant and harvest the pumpkins where they are ready. He gets so excited to click the mouse in the spot where the little farmer goes over and harvests them. I took pics of the farm but lost them some how so I had to use an example. I will try and load up Nates pumpkin patch soon.

Family, BBQ, Fishing, Fun

Here is some pics from the past couple weeks. We had a great time with the family and did alot of BBQ and fishing! Jamie and I recently went on a family fishing trip and Nate fell asleep on the way out haha Now that school has started he seems to fall asleep everywhere. More to come!
