Update

Ok, so just to update on a few things...
1st-Tanner's birthday present, the video game thing that wouldn't work because the batteries wouldn't fit. So come to find out you didn't even have to put batteries in the stupid thing. All I was supposed to do was to plug it in, so why did the directions say put batteries in??? Anyway, Tanner likes it and it works.
2nd-Colson and Anna Kathryn had their first Upward Basketball games today. It was a blast!!! Colson is very good, one of the best ones on his team. Anna Kathryn is one of the smallest girls on her team. They (supposedly)match you up with someone who is equal in ability to you, well AK's match up was a girl that was a head taller than her and probably 30 pounds heavier. But she did a good job and hustled the whole game.
3rd-About a month ago or less Roman bought us a new video camera. It was a nice one, we've used it several times through Christmas and Tanner's birthday. Well we took it this morning to Colson's basketball game. At the beginning of the game they announce the players on the loud speaker just like pro ball. Roman videoed Colson coming out, then handed me the camera while he answered his phone. I videoed Colson during the pregame prayer, then handed the camera back to Roman. When he got the camera back, it was blank, no picture, no power, nothing. We had just charged the battery, so that wasn't it. Long story short...Roman was MAD. REAL MAD!!! He said"Why can't we ever have anything work right???!!!" $%^%^#@ We couldn't find the receipt, but we did buy it at circut city, with a circut city credit card, so I had the statement. Happy ending...Circuit City gave Roman a brand new camera!! I hope it works for next weeks game.

PS--Thanks Emily for reading my blog too--didn't mean to leave you out!!!

THIS IS DEDICATED TO JULIE AND ALLISON

Ok so it has been a month since my last blog entry, so one a month, that's not so bad...it's better than my brother. Anyway I had been thinking, "what's the point in blogging, no one reads my blog but my parents and I talk to them about every other day anyway..." Well I was wrong, there are 2 other people that read my blog and they are my cousins--JULIE AND ALLISON. They came home for Christmas and we got to talking about it. I found out they check my blog frequently and I am even in Julie's favorites ( I rank pretty high up, too). So I would like to shout out to them!
***Hi cuz's, hope ya'll got home ok, glad we got to hang out. Julie-come over any time
and play Dance Dance Revolution. Allison-glad I got to meet your husband. Miss
you guys***
So on another note...today is Tanner's birthday, he is 10. It's hard to believe. He was born at 12:56pm. Today we went to lunch at O'Charley's (tanner choice). He had on a watch, and he was counting down the minutes to 12:56. And at 12:56 on the dot we sang "Happy Birthday!!" It's was great. Tanner is such a great kid. We had some present disasters. He wanted Razor E200 electric scooter. So great no problem, except it was a problem, because 3 days after Christmas no one has an E200. I usually do better about buying his birthday present before Christmas, but not this year. So we explained to him that we couldn't find one, he said "Well you could just give me money." Well I was ok with that because he is a saver, but I still wanted to get him something to open. So I went to the mall and bought him one of those video game things that plug in to the front of your TV, you know the ones that have all the old games like Mario, Duck Hunt, Frogger, stuff like that. Well he loved it! But...the thing takes 4 AA batteries, however the little piece that you put the batteries into would not hold 4 AA batteries, the 4th one kept popping out. I tried, Roman tried, stupid piece of crap. But Tanner, being Tanner, just played his DS game that Avery got him. Then we went to the movies. Oh well, I do plan to take the stupid thing back, and they better give me my money back.

So sorry for rambling, and no promises on when the next post might be.
