And you thought my LAST post was gross...

If you remember, last year was not the most graceful year of my life...  I kept saying "this is not my year, things will get better in 2011." Well, knock on wood - no injuries to me so far. And we are, let's see - 30 days into the year.  On a roll, right?  This last week, "someone" in our family had a little mishap - and I am so happy to pass the bubblewrap on to the new recipient! Before scrolling down, see if you can identify the victim:

I will give you one clue, which you may have already guessed: it is not.....  NED!  A little too much hair for him!  Ha, ha - good thing he doesn't know how to get to this blog!

Guessed yet?

Here is the victim sporting three metal staples - talk about gross!  Too mechanical for me!

If you haven't guessed by now, the lucky dog is:

Yup, my BBALL boy, Kayden.  Had a game Friday night against Manila and just before half, he went for a basket and got called for a charge.  He was a "lil" ticked and started back down the floor when he put his hand up in his hair and his buddy exclaimed "Dude, you are bleeding".  The kid had hit him on the top of his head with his elbow.  Due to it being a head wound and him having his heart beating pretty good, it bled fast and hard.  We went to the locker room and our good friend, Kam J. told me to take hair from both sides of the laceration and braid it as tight as I could.  Kayd wanted to fist me, but put up with it.  We got a little rubber band, put on the end of it, cleaned him up, and made it back out for the third quarter.  NOTE: Do not tick Kayden off... he came back with a vengeance and scored 20 points in the third quarter, then sat out the fourth.  Had another game last night and all was good.  If you want to see the blood and guts in action, go to Mysportsguys.com, find the Rich vs. Manila boys game, and go to about 58 minutes on the slider/timer bar. 

And since this post is on the 30th, I think I will count it for my February post!  Happy day!!!

2 posts in less than 24 hours - beat that!

No comment on this photo - pretty self-explanatory...

i love my family!!!

This One's for YOU, Lar!

Lar has been bugging me cuz I have not blogged in such a long time (what's a couple of months?) so I promised her the other night I would blog SOMETHING, and never did.  So this one is for her - and you, too!  I have never tried to download a video so we shall see what happens.  But let me say....

W*A*R*N*I*N*G!!!!
This video is not for the faint of heart, so
Proceed at your own risk!  And don't say I didn't warn you!!!

So... what do you think of "GUS?"  He and his brother "WILD BILL" were gifts for Kamren for Christmas.  To me, they are rodents.  By definition, they are gerbils.  They eat two toilet paper rolls a day - not for food, but they chew it up for extra bedding.  They sleep most of the day and LOVE to play at night.  I recommend that each of you run right out and buy at least TWO of these furry little creatures for your children...  :0)  PS: guess I should explain... they are rather shy and don't like to be held so we capture them and put them in the bathtub since it is too slick for them to climb out of.  Then Kam climbs in  and plays with them to try and get them used to him.
