Fun Times

Here is Saturdays arts n crafts the kids did. Nate made a purple and blue canvas with a blue bunny and Lexi made a multi colored canvas and bunny. Great job! Jamie and Tracy his brother played chess while Rhonda and I made puzzles with the kids. We made Jacob a cake for his belated birthday which he LOVED. Nate was trying to invite some friends over and order a pizza at the same time during this event. haha

Kewl Stuff

Jamie said he was in the paper and I freaked out becuase I love keeping stuff like that! So I finally found it of him showing a couple kids his car haha

We have some family in town staying with us for a little bit. we are having a good time with the kids making arts and crafts. Lexi calls the sand box "The Beach" haha

I got my first Austrailian Coral shipment in yesterday! This stuff looks so much better then Tonga and Fiji coral

Sugar Sand

Thank you to Grammy and Papa Nate has a nice sand box he can play in. He LOVES sand boxes and this way he doesnt have to worry about 'flooding' haha Got up at 6am and started working on it considering it gets so hot outside. We still need alot more sand to fill it up. So far there was 5 bags just barely enough to cover the bottom haha Its like having the beach in the backyard!

Fun Fun Fun

Nate got his new gator golf game from grammy and papa and he decided to dress up and be the serious golfer. We have been doing alot of fishing with freinds and have had terrible luck. So we drove a ways and found a nice secret pond. Curt one of my freinds husbands caught a nice one! I got to shoot my first gun!!!! 22 pistol and rifle it was fun! When we showed up I did not have my ear plugs in and someone down the range started in on his AK47.....I put those ear plugs in faster then you can imagine!

Lets Get Some Bad Guys

Jamie's under cover car woohooo

The Man Cave

Ok so the business is booming fast and its growing so I am extending everything! Im now going to cary inverts like crabs snails, star fish, urchins, and so forth. I still have not plunged into the fish thing yet. That is like a whole other thing that I really dont want to get into unless I owned my own home and had more room. I will occasionally get some in and place them in my holding tanks but they just dont sell well.
So I dont want inverts in my house thats over doing it so for the past month even though its been 105 outside YIKES I have been keeping close eye on the temperature of the garage oops I mean "Man Cave" sure enough it stables between 75-77 when its over 100 outside. This is awesome news! So I spent all day yesterday cleaning the "Man Cave" out. Got some of the shipping supply oujt of the house and organzized everything. The pile in the middle is mainly boxes that needs to be thrown out.
Nate decorated the invert tub so it looks very nice :) We have our live rock and about 4'' of water in there moving around by powerhead just waiting for the new babies. Nate LOVES and I repeat LOVES crabs. He is so facinated with the different types of shells. He loves to watch them move around and you can even hand feed them its great.
I made my egg crate frag stand so I can number and organize my frags that I wanted under my Metal Halide light. When someone purchases something from my site it doesnt show a pic of what they purchased so I have to be very organized. Well Nate too permanent marker to the tank one day after rubbing off my numbers. I stayed very calm thinking "well...I did say this was his tank" so I explained why he couldnt do it and was able to re number everything with no issues. So he gets to color on the crab tank now hahaha
Nate is so adorable when he talks about the "curl" he knows alot of the names and will point out to stuff. He likes the brain "curls" the most

Gun Gun

Nate loves it when I make boxes! Its a fun time for him to be creative and make things out of the extra pieces. So I decided have fun too and create gun guns for him. He also got sun glasses and a cell phone. HAHA
Now he is ready for a special mission
