A pocket full of change

Shane always comes home from work or play with a pocket full of change. By the end of the week, he can have a good couple of bucks in change. He has been saving for quite sometime (I think its been almost a year), and this morning we decided to count it all. So needless to say we started counting and counting and counting and counting. Here is a picture of the finished product.

The total came out to be a whopping $93.44. I can't believe Shane had so much change in his popcorn tin/piggy bank holder. I had to laugh at him after we were done, because he ran into the bedroom to find more change in a drawer or two. It was really addicting, and we both were surprised to see what he actually had.
Shane and I both had such DIRTY hands from all the counting on the digital bank. It was such hard work.

Shane's dirty hands. YUCK!!!!!


My dirty hands. YUCK!!!!


Does this look like $93.44? It doesn't to me, but the jar tells me differently. It sure is heavy. Keep saving Honey!!!! Let see how much we can get next year. Now he wants to go get some games for the Wii. Anybody have any other great ideas how to spend it? Maybe we should put it away for a rainy day.

I'm ready for warmer weather!!!!

I am soooooooooo ready for warmer weather. This week has been yucky with all the inversion and fog, and to top it all off it is just so dang cold. I am ready to plan for a trip to a tropical climate, where I can actually wear shorts and flip flops, and lounge out by the pool all day long, and just take all the sun in that I can. Hawaii here I come. I think the next trip that we have planned is to go Ice Fishing.

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!! I am so grateful for all of your devotion to our family and to your Heavenly Father. You are a true disciple of Christ. Thank you for being there for me, in all my times of need. I am so grateful for you and your example, and I am so grateful for you being truly the BEST FRIEND ever. I love you!!!! Happy Birthday!!!! We love you, Nan and Shane

Nan with a hunting license? AHHHHH?????

This past December, my nephew and I started taking our Hunter Safety courses, which we completed on January 10 with our shooting test. I do need to clarify to all of you I was not forced in any way shape or form, to do this class. I think Shane didn't think that I was going to do it either. Shane and I decided a while ago that we wanted to do this for Ryan (who turns 12 January 17th) and will need his own hunting and fishing licenses. So I took the class along with Ryan, it was really a good class and was very informative. Trust me I learned A LOT about gun safety. Ryan just absorbed it all, and was so excited to take the class. No worries he will be a very safe hunter.
I passed both test, and now I can hunt (what was I thinking?). I think Shane is so proud (you should have seen the smile on his face. It was like a mile long). Warning to all wildlife!!!! You better all run and hide, Nan is coming to get you (or not)!!!!! Ya'll better keep watching 2News Roughin It Outdoors for pictures. Ha ha ha!!!!!
Don't I look SEXY!!!! Gotta love the safety glasses!!!!!

Me shooting my targets. I am right-handed but shoot left-handed. Go figure!!!!
