Happy New Year

Well here we are at the end.
Of the year.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and got everything they wanted. I did and then I woke up the next morning and all hell broke loose. Don't ask I don't want to talk about it.

I am blog surfing this morning and I found this cute blog and it had a funny name. It gave me a laugh and so I thought I would share the item I found on this ladies blog. I have no idea who she is and where she comes from so if you know this person thank her for the chuckle she gave me today. Now I know you are waiting for a big reveal but it is just a little thing...


Derfwad: /durf/wod/ noun
1. low grade moron
2. pathetic term of endearment;
3. nut job
Don't stick your finger in the light socket, derfwad!
Come give me a kiss, you little derfwad.



Okay it is just little, but it gave me a big smile.
How many times have I used this word in my life? maybe once, twice or even never.
I think it is one of those funny words that you can use and not hurt feelings(at least is hope not), like when my sister calls me a honky. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't be offended I am not out to offend. I needed a smile on my face today and now I have one that will last all day. I hope I at least made my sister smile by sharing this with everyone. Oh and if you don't like what I have to say just don't read it. Have a Happy New Year!!!!

Birthday Girl

Ashley turned 15 yesterday. In one year from now I have to figure out how to get the laws changed so she can't, Yes I said CAN'T, Get her drivers license. She is a terrible driver and all she does is giggle during the whole thing. I tried to take her driving before and she just about drove our truck into the church. I was trying to take over the controls and so was she. Yesterday she had a last minute bash with her friends and they wanted to watch scary movies so they watched the Dark Night. I have not seen this movie yet but it sure sounded intense.
Anyways happy birthday to Ashley. I love her so much. She is such a good example for this family and she is so bubbly almost all of the time. She loves it when her dad takes her out for frozen yogurt on the way to school even when it is 30 below outside. Today I am taking her to see Twilight. Yes we are the only ones ever who have not seen this movie yet. Ashley has a very busy life and I am trying to keep up with it.

Christmas pictures

These are the pictures of the kids for christmas.

Better late than never

WOW! I can't believe that I have not posted a thing since November. Well, now that Christmas is almost here I really should update my blog.

We have been really busy. Clint came home one day on standby and stayed home for about 3 weeks. It was really stressful at first and than it became really fun. We got all of our Christmas shopping done while he was home. We went out on Black Friday and stood in one line. I am not sure if I can get him to do this again. We went to lunch almost everyday. When he went back to work the dishes piled up and I had no idea how I was going to feed myself at lunchtime(j/K).
When he finally went back to work he came back home for a couple of more days. Now he is back and I hope he gets to come home for Christmas. We are so thankful that he has this job but I wish it was a little more steady on the days on and off. When he was home he was still getting his day rate so that was SO nice to play and still get paid.

We took some pictures of the kids for grandparents but we were in such a hurry to take care of a truck issue that I only took ten shots and I keep thinking I wish I would have taken more but now it is too late. I wish I had a better camera for stuff like that but mine is fine for what we need.

I hope everyone is doing great this holiday season. We really have enjoyed making and receiving christmas cards this year. If you did not get one from us we probably do not have an address or they are still on their way. Merry Christmas to all. Love the Mickelsons
