Fat Ass Cat!

This is our fatass cat, Chester. He is just gi-normous! (a cross between giant and enormous) I got him as a Valentine's Day present. I really like to think he picked us. I fell in love with him right away. We went to Petsmart to just walk around and we always look at the cats. We had NO intention of getting ANY kind of animal. We took one look and him and he took one meow at us and it was just fate. He is just part of the family. I swear he think he's human. And I swear he thinks he's a midget cat because he tries to squeeze into the smallest places. Like Kaleb's window between his bed. It just doesn't work. But he does it anyway. Then he lays on top of the computer desk and takes up the whole thing.
The best part of him is probably his massages. Yes, our cat massages us. They say it's a form of socializing and affection. Whatever, it feels good.

Second Session

Josh went in for his second session with Bobby. He finished some more outline and it looks amazing! before it started out looking like two seperate pieces and now it is coming together and just looks sick. Bobby added a pagoda, moutains, clouds, trees, and some shoreline. It just looks soooo good. He would've done the bridge but that's my fault because I got a tattoo! It is looks so pretty. I got cherry blossoms on my foot. That's right on my foot! And it hurt like a bitch!!! just like any other tattoo it's not unbearable, but holy shit it was really bad.

I wanted it on my foot in the beginning but when Bobby said he just got his done and it really hurt bad. So when the tattoo artist says it hurts you know it has to hurt. So I wrestled with the idea of changing it to the back of my calf. I eventually decided to just do it on my foot, no guts no glory. It only took like a two hours but it was the hardest two hours of my life. I'm glad I did it though, it something that I'm proud of.

I kept asking josh if his hurt when Bobby was doing the back of his arm in what you would think would be the sensitive part, and he said no, he put up a good front because when we got home he said it hurt. I told him that it's probably nothing compared to the foot. So he's thinking of getting one on his foot just to see what it feels like.

The funny thing is that my foot is swollen. It feels like how it felt when I was pregnant. lol. I kinda miss it.

Constitution Day!

So how many people really know when Constitution Day is? I know I don't. Well not since Kaleb told me on Sept. 17th. Josh and I picked him up from school and we were on our way to drop Josh back off at his truck when Kaleb said, "Kimm, did you know today is Constitution Day?" Of course I did, NOT! Me and Josh looked at each other and I whispered, "I bet he doesn't even know what the Constitution is." So I was trying to be a smart ass and asked Kaleb what is the Constitution? And do you know what he said? "It's the rules of the United States." Can you believe that? I was shocked and appalled. That is the best explanation of the Constitution in laymens terms I've ever heard. Grant it his teacher, Ms. Luster, told them what it is but, come on, that was just too funny.
Kids say the darndest things.

I'm so proud

Kaleb has done so well in school. He writes his name almost perfect and when he really puts his mind to it every other letter is perfect. I try really hard at helping Kaleb with his school work. I won't lie sometimes it gets really difficult because I know he knows his stuff, but he gets lazy. I can get pretty frustrated but in the end I just think, "he's barely 5!"
I was a little nervous in the beginning when he first started school. "Is he going to be ok?", "I know he's smart but is he going to pick up this stuff?" Yeah at first he was really slow at catching on but before we knew it he could write his name, rhyme, sing songs, and tell stories. I just don't give these kids enough credit.
When I work on his letters and his sight words it takes a little bit for him to get into a rhythm. And when he finally does, Oh Man, I just want to cry, I tell him, "Perfect!" and he gets so proud of himself that he can't stop smiling.
I love him to death.

The upper arm now

Doing the Geisha
I chopped off her head, but still a good picture I think.
I shouldn't have used the flash. Damn It.

The first of maybe many

This is Josh's arm pre-tattoo. We'll never see it again. :( Actually all we have to do is look at his right arm. HaHa.

Here we go!

And the end product of the lower arm.

Again, thanks Michelle

I couldn't figure out how to put pictures on my blog, so I asked Michelle how do I do it. So she told me and I looked all over the page and couldn't find it. Then, DUH!, it was on the task bar next to spell check, which I also didn't know was there. So if I have any mispelled words, Sorry.

Here are a few pictures that I wanted to post before but couldn't.

Oh yeah, I have more pictures but I need to get them from Michelle. Man Michelle is like the key holder to my Blog. HAHAHA.

T- Day!

Josh gets his first tattoo today. I'm really excited. Josh is anxious as it gets closer to the time, he's so excited! I can't wait to see what Bobby has drawn up for him. Bobby did Josh's brother Jason's tattoo and it's really good work so we trust him.

Josh wants a Koi fish and a Geisha. So we brought Bobby a couple of pictures of what he wanted, and Bobby made a few changes and came up with some pretty cool ideas to change it up and it all sounds really good. So we're really excited to see what he came up with.

Michelle told me so...

So yesterday at Kaleb's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese I was telling Michelle about my new blog and she said I didn't explain anything about this being my first blog. So here I am. Explaining that this is my first blog. This is my first blog and we'll see how well I keep it up. This is probably perfect for me because I like to talk. Ever since I was little I would get into trouble at school for talking.
If any of you are wondering about the title of my blog I'll tell ya. Nuts N Bolts is something I came up with one day when we were trying to think of a new screen name. And I just shouted out Nuts N Bolts. The Nuts is a poker term, when you have the nuts you have the best hand. And for all you Charger fans, Bolts should be self explanatory. A Charger bolt. So if we need to think of any names or titles for anything, Nuts N Bolts it is.
So as I mentioned before we had Kaleb's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. It was so much fun and we had a great turn out. It was Spider-man themed, so we had a spider-man cake, goodie bags and candy boxes. These kids made out really good. Stupid tattoos were almost thirty bucks for 8 sheets of five! But you gotta have tattoos in a goodie bag. But unfortunately...NEVER AGAIN. I was so tired after wards. We were there for almost 5 hours. Sorry Blake we'll have a good 5th birthday for you somewhere else.
So here it is, my intro to my blog, Thanks Michelle! :)

Two Years!

I'm really excited about our anniversary that's coming up. It's not our wedding anniversary but we didn't get to celebrate our 1st anniversary so we going to celebrate it big to make up for it. We are going to spend a couple days in San Diego. We are going to go to Birch Aquarium, Seawolrd and swim with Baluga Whales! We're going to spend a little time in Old Towm and just relax. A nice vaca from the kiddies!

I missed it!

So I was taking my mom back home after having dinner with us and Josh and the kids were at home. I get this text from Josh telling me that Blake Rolled over by himself! Not fair, Imiss everything.I'm the stay at home parent. Shouldn't I be the one to call Josh about that stuff?
