Drywall

Here are a few pictures of the drywall we are putting up in Bob and Sandi's house. It is actually a lot of fun. I think because Sandi and I are working together and the guys are working somewhere else. I am the dremel queen, I like using it around the doors and window. Sandi and I are almost done with the upstairs. What an accomplishment.

3rd Overall

Caleb had a meet tonight and he took 3rd overall for his age group 9-10 year olds. He had a pretty good meet. He needs to work on a few events though, but we don't have any more room in our house for rings and parallel bars....HA HA HA.

It had to be BOTH of them....

So today was interesting....I spent 3 hours in the ER with Darien and he broke BOTH of his wrists. Poor guy. Last night he was at basketball practice and was messing around at the end. He was jumping off of the bleachers and dunking the ball in a lowered basket. On the last one, he grabbed the rim and then fell right on his hands and fell hard enough to get a good goose egg on his forehead. So all night he was wimpering and whining that his wrists hurt. This morning I took him in and sure enough....2 broken wrists. Right now he has soft casts on until we get into see the orthopedic doctor next week and then they will put on hard casts. You can imagine ALL of the things that he can't do. Which includes EVERYTHING! You would think that with as many children are in our family that we would have had more broken bones. NOPE, this is the first broken limb, or anything for our family!! I am sure that Uncle Ryan can especially sympathize with Bugz right now.

Lost her first tooth FINALLY!

Marisol was so happy that she finally lost her first tooth!! She was so excited the next morning that she had $5.00 under her pillow from the tooth fairy. She told me she has a dream that night that the tooth fairy left her $100.00! ya right.....

USS New Mexico SSN779

WASHINGTON - The US Navy christened its newest attack submarine,New Mexico on Dec. 13 during a ceremony at Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding, Newport News, Va.

U.S. Rep. Heather A. Wilson of New Mexico delivered the ceremony’s principal address.

The submarine began construction under a unique teaming arrangement between Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding and General Dynamics Electric Boat in 2004. The battleship New Mexico (BB-40)(1918-1946), the only other ship named after the 47th state, earned six battle stars for World War II service, which included providing shore bombardment support for landings in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands, and at Guam, Tinian, Saipan, the Philippines and Okinawa.
