Young Love

Some people say high school relationships never last, but what about middle school relationships? I fell in love with a special girl by the name of Jaice. We have been together for over 5 years, March 4th being our 5 year anniversary. Jaice and I grew up together and became very close. We make each other happy and that's all that matters. We even graduated high school together, as seen to the right. Class of 2012!

Bobbikins - Endless Pit

Bobbi is a beautiful cat that I have grown to love. We had her since she was a kitten and much like my dog Emma, she like 3 years of age. She loves to have her neck/head scratched, but mostly loves kitty food. She eats about 3-4 times per day, and still is in healthy condition (where does it all go!) She loves to play with string and wrestle footsies under the blanket. She is also an advanced hunter of birds and small creatures!

Emma - The Cutest Pain in the Butt

Approximately 3 years ago, I was blessed with the opportunity of adopting a cockapoo (cockerspaniel/poodle mix). She was not a cheap puppy, but the joy she brings my entire family is priceless. She is a sweet dog, but very stubborn and playful. After a hard day's work, she will be the first one to greet you home!

FREEDOM


This video is a true representation of what life means to me as an American.

MY LOYAL FRIEND
Max came into our lives as a tiny ball of fur. He soon went from being scared and timid to realizing he was the center attraction in everything we did. My youngest daughter, Ashley and he developed an inseparable bond.





Ashley would refer to Max as her little brother. They did everything together.




Max would make us laugh, worry us when he ran away, and has always been included in our family plans. During difficult times, Max was always a comfort, with unconditional love and devotion to share.












Max stills looks for Ashley, although, she has moved out now. As the years have passed, he has slowed down a lot. He is almost blind now. I don't mind caring for him, as he has brought us so much love and attention. He has enriched our lives. Max has truly been an old faithful friend.

Beginning with the Letter "S," Board-Game.

Scattergories. 
Sold in every store that sells board-games. 

How is it played? Good question! Someone rolls a dice with most of the letters of the alphabet on the faces of the dice. Then you start the timer and you go down a pre-determined list of categories  The list will tell you what kind of word to come up with. For instance, if the letter is "G" and the category is "state" then you can either write down "Georgia" or "grumpy." It helps you to score points if you are creative. The next category down that list could be "Color" so then you would have to come up with a color that begins with the letter "G." You could put "green" but there's a good chance that someone else will be writing "green," so you could put down "golden mustard." Obscure words and things are usually the way to go. Sure, it's easy to think of the word now but when you are sitting with a group of people and there's a timer buzzing away and you need to think of 12 things to write down in different categories that all begin with the letter "J," you're going to have a hard time. Scoring depends on your word. If someone else use the same word, your answers cancel each other out and neither of you get a point for the word. If you make a unique word, you get one point. If you use two words and both begin with the same letter, you get two. Three words with the same letter, 3 points, and so on and so forth. You can string many words together such as "red fire hydrants" for "things found at a park" beginning with the letter "R." You still only get one point for that though. I like coming up with all these different things so I really enjoy the game! Like most other games, it's more fun if you play with more people.  :D
