Playing With Dad

We're so glad that we were able to have some family time. Jeremy had to work part day on Christmas Eve and then he was able to come home and spend time with us. He had to go to work on Saturday but then he was able to come home on Sunday. Of course he had to go back to work on Monday but will be home on Wednesday and spend the New Years Day with us. We're just thankful that he has a job and that we are together as a family.

Legos From Grandpa & Grandma Newman

Yes, those are legos from the Newman Grandparents. There was two sets for Tagge and Scott. So nice to have enough legos now.

Legos Galore

Of course, it wouldn't be a Lego Christmas without legos from Uncle Brett and Grandma and Grandpa Finney. I have to say I love legos and it's nice to have more for the boys so there is enough for both of them.

More Legos

Yes, Scott got legos from Santa too.

Legos

This year is the year of legos. I think we got legos from everyone this year. Should keep them busy for a while.

Remote Control Helicopter

The boys love getting remote control toys for Christmas. And of course you can't just buy one. Scott and Tagge have to have their own.

My Own Tools

Scott was excited that Santa got him his own set of tools and a tool box to put them in. Now when he goes to work with Dad he can really help him.

Singing At Christmas

The kids had fun ringing their bells while singing Jingle Bells and of course it looks like Kennadi is trying to lead them but she was just trying to get one of their bells.

Catching Air

We are soooo glad that there is someplace close for the kids to go tubing. And of course, it's always better when someone has built up a jump. Tagge loves getting air.

Snowboarding

Scott was so excited to try snowboarding. Of course he's using Jeremy's board but considering how big it is on his feet he did surprisingly well.

Thunder

Our family wouldn't be complete without a couple of animals running around but Thunder thinks she is a human and needs to be involved in everything we do. In this picture she's being referee to the wrestling match. Making sure that the boys aren't being hurt by Dad. What a good dog.

Rough Housing With Dad

Of course the day wouldn't be complete without a wrestling match with Dad. And obviously Dad won.

Playing With Dad

Of course Tagger had to have his picture taken on Dad's shoulders too.

Playtime With Dad

Do we really need to mention how much fun the boys have playing with Dad. I think not.

Look, No Cavities For Me Either

We were just as excited that Scott didn't have any cavities either. Aren't we lucky!

Look No Cavities.

We were definitely happy after our recent visit to the dentist to find out that Tagge didn't

have any cavities. Way to go Tagge!

Giant Pacu

No words are really needed for this picture unless you'd like to give them a new home. They are outgrowing our tank.

Teeth

These are the teeth on one of our pacu. They are related to the piranha's and we feed them shrimp and other feeder fish.

Tinny- Our Tinfoil Barb

I know, I know, real original name huh. But that's what the boys and Jeremy decided to name him. This picture doesn't really do him justice but it was the best one that I could get of him. He's actually about 6 inches long.

Lightning- Our African Cyclid

This is Lightning- our killer fish. We had to isolate him in his own tank because he kept

killing all the other fish that we put in there with him. But once the pacu got big enough that he couldn't hurt them we put him in there to teach him some manners. Thankfully they all get along well.

Pleco

This is our pleco. He's actually about 7 1/2" long. He (or she) has such pretty patterns.

Oscar the Oscar

This is Oscar our white oscar. We were cleaning the 110 gallon fish tank and decided to try and get some pictures for Scott to take to school for show and tell. Since he really wanted to take the actual fish and they are too big to do that with.

Our Thanksgiving Roast

Jeremy decided this year that if we were going to do a dinner at out house he wasn't going to cook turkey. So instead we had roast and potatoes. The Newman's brought pies and Brett brought rolls. It was a great meal.
