We got the name, "Five Critters" when we started Geocaching. That is our team name. Considering we all love the outdoors, hunting, and camping, it seems to be a perfect description!

My Occupations!

Maybe I am crazy, but I love all of my jobs! Here is a breakdown of all my occupations:

Secretary, Eastern Arizona College - Small Business Development Center
Office Manager, McCray & McCray Earth Movers
Manager, Fox Storage
Idependent Sales Rep, Avon

They are all part-time, so altogether they almost add up to one full-time job. The last two jobs don't take too much time. I am off on Fridays, because Braden does not go to school on Fridays (he goes to a charter school). I really love secretary, office work because I am good at organizing. I like to feel that I am helping my employers become just a little bit more organized than they were before.

Today I am "33"!

Today is my birthday and I am "33". Since this is my favorite number times 2, I hope this means I will have a great year!

7 Puppies...Lots of Poo!

So, our dog, Pepper had 7 puppies. Each one is different looking...and none of them look like Pepper. Don't know who the dad is, although we suspect it to be a stray dog that animal control won't pick up because he "can't catch it". Frustrating, especially when we think it got into our yard. I guess it is our fault for not having Pepper spayed. Guess what we are doing as soon as the puppies are weaned? So, if anyone wants a puppy, please let me know! I would rather give them to someone I know before we show them off in front of Wal-Mart. Here are some pics of how cute they are! They even have names already!

Our dog Pepper



This one is my favorite! Her name is "Oreo". We will probably keep her.

2008 Update!

I will have to get use to updating our page on a regular basis. So 2008 is over and I think the year went pretty well. We had an eventful year, with our youngest son (he has high-functioning autism and ADHD) switching from a regular school to a small charter school. It has made all the difference! Our middle daughter had another great year of dance and viola. And our oldest son shared his usual onslaught of crazy ideas! I would like 2009 to be a calm, undramatic (yeah, right!) year. We shall see!

Here are some of our Holiday activities!

Making a gingerbread house

Playing in the snow on the mountain

Christmas Eve (they get to open one present and it is always pajamas)
