Merry, Merry Christmas, doggie style...

Would you believe that hand belongs to a Great Aunt? Like almost a Grandmother...but purple wristband and orange watchband makes it hip and young and cool, right? No, then ignore the hand in the corner, pretend it is behind a curtain...only look at Herc wrapped up in a

Christmas bow!
Meet Blade...she is cousin Adam's Christmas present! She is super soft, and about the most adorable little Rottweiler Puppy (7 weeks old, stopped by on the drive from Hooper to Las Vegas--Thanks Cousins!) we have ever met!
I had to add another Christmas post because it wouldn't let me save all the pics I wanted on the first one... LOVE YOU ALL!

Merry Christmas Every One!!

So the girls and Tam got pretty nails for Christmas...maybe next time I will take out the separators before the pic? (as a side note, this is the first time I've ever had nail art and diamonds on my nails...Go Team Angels!)

We did Christmas at home on Thursday 12/18 or something like that...cuz the girls were done with school the next day and going home for Christmas...IT WAS AWESOME!! Love you girls, perfect gifts!
So also along with Christmas is Kimmie's birthday...this cake spoke to us at Costco, it was the perfect cake and just enough room for those candles...we LOVE Kim!
Mega Pro Christmas party 2009 took place at the Smith's home. Jas couldn't help but lay one on his BFF Sandra Kay~

This is Kim, at the Mega Pro party showing how "Shark Jas" has been running around the shop for the last few weeks, broken hand--raise it and it won't run into anything or anyone!

Jas also loves the "Boss Man", Mr. Smith, equal opportunity lovin' around here man!

Check out those cupcakes! They were phenomenal! The other "Mrs. Smith", Heidi couldn't make it to the party but her cupcakes were a big HIT!

WE LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Smiley Kyley! You rock Smiley! Merry Christmas!Best Christmas present ever, Jaxton Jason is our newest nephew. Super cute, we adore him! (and absolutely LOVE and ADORE all 16 of our nieces and nephews, hope you know it this Christmas kids!)

Last but not least...Hercules wishes everyone a ME LE KALIKIMAKA & HAOULE MA KI HI KI HOWE (don't really know how to spell it, but it is Hawaiian for Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!)

Jeep Does Dumont!

We got to go out to Dumont again over the weekend of 12/19. We camped out there with Cousins Adam & Heidi, Jeremy & JD, and Brian and Rachel. It was a riot, as always.

Jas got new paddles so now there are 4 paddles! He also has the fuel injection almost figured out too, so the Jeep was ROCKIN!

Doesn't it look like those "Stompers" from the early 80's?

Kels and Kayla stayed down for 1 more weekend after finals to come with us to Dumont! I hope it was worth it for them, I suspect it was!

We got to ride Brian's Banshee and I suspect that the next time we go out there may be a couple of Banshees instead of the Jeep! It is such a RIOT! (Freakin' Brian)

Guess it's like riding a bike, I think I picked it right back up--Banshees FLY!

Next time you see Cousin Jeremy (or anyone else involved in the weekend) you have to ask him about the "Guy running through the desert with a baby!" The story is hilarious, even after it has been told 55 times around the camp fire!

Herc's Tricks

If you know me at all, or even if you've only met me through this blog then you probably have guessed that Herc is more than a dog to me--he is my baby. We videoed him doing some of his tricks, this is the first rough draft of a video we will be perfecting over the next year or so...He is so smart and such a good boy! Watch this and I know you'll agree!

So I read about how people who blow their noses a lot don't get as many colds, since they blow out the bugs before they get a chance to multiply...same with gargling. Gargling helps kick the bugs out of that orifice before they can multiply. I bought it. I hadn't been sick in a very long time. Then I said it out loud. OOPS. Now I have the mother of all colds (and poor Jas got it too). I know it isn't flu because I don't have a temperature, in fact I am lucky to hit 98.6, I am typically more like 96.2. I do however have a sore nose, and that is even with the Kleenex with lotion! On the bright side I am going to have abs of steel by the time I kick this, my stomach muscles are killing me from coughing so much. Getting sick so makes me appreciate my general state of wellness! I love to be healthy, I love to feel good, I am feeling better all ready. My body is a health producing organism...
