Steven!

Today is my human cousin Steven's 11th birthday! He is growing up so fast! Mom and Grandma went to his party on Sunday so he already got his presents. Mom says that before we know it all of the monsters will be grown up and have little monsters of their own. Now THAT is a scary thought! They do seem to be getting awfully big lately. I do miss the "kids" being little. They used to play with me more (insert kitty smile). However, I am a cat that understands life. They have to grow up sometime and I am just happy that I get to see the growing going on! Have a great birthday Steven! Love us all.

Secret Paw is here

My secret paw came in the mail on December 23, 2006! My secret paw is Merlin the Cat Nelson! Go see his blog at http://merlinsmeows.blogspot.com/. Mom made me wait to post until today because the monsters have been here. It makes it hard for Mom to post so I guess I'll forgive her. So any way, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am going to post some pictures now. Mom says I have to share because Scooby hasn't gotten his secret paw yet so he will be in some off the pictures too.

This is the card that Merlin sent to me!

It opens and says very nice things to me!

Look at what the box was hiding! BAD BOX!

Look at all the wonderful presents!

Come here Scooby! You can look too! What are you doing to the box? Are you eating it?!

HA! Now Mom took the box away. Come here and check out all the super cool stuff!

See I can share, when I want to.

What can I say accept THANK YOU MERLIN!!!!! I am having so much fun!

SHOOTING

Run Scooby! Run Mom! Run Grandma! The crazy neighbor man is SHOOTING! It must be hunting season again here in Virginia. We always know because the neighbor man breaks out the big giant cannon gun and target. (Sigh) I have to remember to keep my ears really, really low so he won't think I'm a deer. There most assuredly is no cat hunting season. Mom still makes me stay inside more right now though. How dumb would a hunter have to be to shoot me? I am the wrong color, way to short, no antlers, no flicking white tail (White tailed Deer). I mean come on Mom, I'll stay in the yard. Let me out ok? (Insert background BOOM) NEVERMIND! I am very tired all of a sudden (yawn). I think I'll go sleep under the bed! Stay safe.

Another birthday!

We are celebrating another birthday in my family. The youngest monster is turning 9! It just doesn't seem possible. One minute he is a baby and the next he is nine! What next his graduation? Or, Please heaven no, his marriage?! The time flies by when you aren't looking and then it sneaks up on you and smashes you over the head with reality. Oh what a rude awakening.

We don't see Chris (topher) nearly as much as we want to, but that doesn't make the love weaker. Mom and Grandma talk about him and think about him all the time so it seems like he is standing across the room. They miss him and want to say hello so without further ado, here is my mom.





Christopher,
When did you grow up so much? It seems like only yesterday when you were an Elmo fan who loved to eat sweet potatoes. I am so very proud of you, all of Heather's boys. You are becoming (much to quickly) a wonderful person that anyone would be proud to call her nephew. I hope that you got your card and that we will see you VERY soon. All my love and best wishes, your loving Auntie Am.

I know that mom is very proud of her family and would hiss at anyone who would say otherwise. I just can't quite believe that the little boy who liked to pull on my tail (not hard, it felt good) has grown up so fast! All three are growing up to be well developed humans who love cats! We will have another birthday soon for the middle monster, Steven. He is going to be 11! I can't believe it, so much time has gone by! I am going to play with my new toy. Scooby is trying to take off with it! GTG!

Here he is, Chris! At a much younger age !

Oh no, a teen

Today is monster Jeremy's 13th birthday! He has been talking about his birthday since, oh let me see, October 8th 2005! He wants to be a teen and now he is! Now mom wants to talk so hold on a second. She is very impatient today!

Hey Jeremy, I am very proud of you, not just today but everyday! You are growing so fast! You were the first baby that ever lived with me and now you are a teenager! So much time has flown by, but it seems like just a blink of the eye. We all love you so very much, and we want you to have a wonderful birthday! Just remember that we are always here if you need us and that I love you. Be good.
Your loving Aunt,
Auntie Am (& Grandma too!)

Isn't my mom just so sweet! She loves those little monsters with all her heart, no wait I get the most of her heart! The monsters can have their share, I have good manners! Sending out birthday wishes and all of my love!

GO JEREMY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today my brother is a man, no wait that is a different speech altogether. He turned 1 today! I can't believe how much he has grown. I used to be able to sit on him and mom couldn't see him because he was so small (not cause I'm big mind you). Ahh, the good old days. He has grown to be a friend as well as my playmate. He is a very cool cat! So here's to you little brother!
Meow, meow, M-E-O-W, got to be warmed up to sing ya know. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Scooby, happy birthday to you!
Time for baby pictures.
He has grown A LOT!

Here is one of us together, I'm the handsome tux kitty on the left!

So cute, and here is now!

Told you he was getting bigger! You grow man!

All dry

The water went away as fast as it came. Unfortunately, it took some things with it. The water killed three of our tomato plants while trying to drown the other three. It also tore the driveway up real bad! I will post pictures next time. Mom is working on something and doesn't want to stop! She is painting again! I don't mean walls either she is painting a picture. I am very proud of her. The seizures make it scary to hold paint and other stain producing products. I keep telling her that if paint flies around the room she can tell people that it was supposed to look that way. She just smiles and rubs my head. That is a win, win situation in my book. I am going to go watch some more. Post again soon! Bye!
