A year in pictures Part 1

The year started out and I well I don't know where the pictures are from January thru March. So we will start with March-

March 2008 for Spring Break we took 6 kids, yes 6, S-I-X to Gatlinburg for a few days. We all had a really good time and got to get out and stretch our legs.
April- The boys built me a box garden. By the end of the summer it overflowed with tomatoes, jalapenos and cucumbers. AWESOME.Here is one a my many flowers that bloomed beautifully around the house. We finally painted then the Den and now it is where I blog and a has also become a new hangout. This is Ozzy the Fish of Darkness, may his soul rest in peace. He was the new addition to the family when we completed redoing the Den. He did a few months ago. D wrecked his regular bike in April and ended up with two large lacerations on his leg. First of many wrecks, bumps and bruises we will see this year. Miss Emma Sue Princess of the family or atleast one of them.Mr. Baxter Bean the inspector. It doesn't matter what you are doing he walks around like a old man looking, smelling and givin ya dirty looks.May- Baby arrived and my hard drive will never be the same.

Cathy Stay tuned for the rest of the year in photos when I return later this weekend.

Ozzy- The Fish of Darkness RIP

As a write about the birth of the bean I woke up to find that Ozzy our black goldfish had died peacefully in his bowl in the den. What is the life span of a Gold fish in a bowl? I know D had won a fish at a carnival and he (Squirty) lived for years.. Well like the mouse (Nadia) no one in the house is too interested in a having a burial or flushing so it's up to me. He was a wonderful fish that sat on the desk in the den and was there through all of our blogging, myspacing, photo shop and webkinzs. Wonder how long before the others that aren't here realize he is missing. Well off to do the dirty work.
