Backwards Blogging

I have got sooo much to blog about I don't even know where to start. Rhaeden and Maegen had a band concert, D'Nae had a basketball game, Christmas, Bland Christmas, Johnson Christmas, Wilson Christmas, and a basketball tournament..not to mention my hot water heater decided to go out Christmas morning !!!

So let me just skip around a little and start off with the hot water incident. After we had opened gifts at our house (pics later) it was time to start getting ready to go to another house. I jump (literally) in (and then right back out ) the shower. I stand outside of my shower and wash my hair and then jump in soap off and jump out !! I tell the kids to gather up their clothes they can take a shower at Granny and PaPa's. Remind you now...You can't buy a hot water heater on Christmas day !!! So then Friday we go to my mom and dads and so we get showers at their house. Saturday we have to go to Childress so we load up and go to Mike's Grandmothers house. Okay..we are now at Sunday...finally we are able to get a hot water heater. We get it put in about 1pm. At 3pm..NO HOT WATER !!!! I proceed to turn up the temperature. At 5pm NO HOT WATER !!! I proceed to try the "reset" switch. At 7pm NO HOT WATER !!! So we call Mike's brother Jarrett who has an Ohm (?) Meter and he comes out and checks to make sure it is getting electricity. Well, the top heating element is getting electricity but the bottom one is not. So after examining the heater it is determined it is wired wrong. You see...the top element has the green and yellow wires on the left and the bottom one has the red, black, yellow, and green wires ALL on the right side...so they move the yellow and green wires to the left side. At 9pm I HAVE HOT WATER !!! YEAH !!! We finally get to shower in our OWN home !!!!

Okay..I told you this was going to be backwards blogging mainly because I have pics from Saturday. I had to download all my other pics at the house to make room on the memory card for more. On Saturday we went to Childress to the Wilson Family Reunion. I think about 45 adults showed up. MOST of the people were from the Joe Wilson, Jr. Family. When we all got up to take our "family" picture..there wasn't a whole lot of people left sitting around !!! ha ha Here are a few pics.....

Okay not only is this MONDAY, DECEMBER 29th and the end of the year after a holiday..but...my accounting software is not working !! AT ALL !!! I have had tech support working on it for about 3 hours today and they can't get it to working. So...they are going to overnight me a disk to try and fix things. HOPEFULLY...before lunch tomorrow I will be up and running.

In the meantime, maybe I can get some blogging done and get you caught up on what's been going on with my family. Today and tomorrow D'Nae is playing in a basketball tournament in Robert Lee. I will not be going to this tournament because it is the end of the year and I have a lot of work to get done before January 1st 2009.
