A MESSAGE FROM OFFICER SCRAPS : "Hey Meneses bloggers, YOU GUYS WILL NEVER CATCH ME!, Oh and um The Merry Freakin Christmas to you guyses. Also I am pretty sursesy that you guyses would like to know what im being up to lately, I mean especially since you guyses are like trying to catch me and send me to the kitty pound for the bad kitties! Actually i cant really tell you guyses what i have been up to becuase im like on the run and stuffs and doing some things. However, in my defenses, I don't believe that doing things such as you know, snorting the kitty nip, or make other meneses aminals chasing their tails and stuffs, or knocking over 32 bank of americas in three years should be illegal!! Anyways, I was hoping that for christmas maybe i could stuff some of your guyses pets into my stockings for christmas :)? Anyways, i like you guyses and hope you guyses have like good holiday cheering and you try not to get to cold. I mean im lucky because i was born with this furry suit. easy to wash you know, few licks here, few licks there and brand new! Except there was this one year you know i was freezing my freaking paws off. You know i wishes that this could just be a happy message but to be the truthful, this is also kind of a business proposal. I need some more people or pets to join my gang, I mean my company so we can do some things together! There is just one test to get into my gang, and that is to walk the line you know. Look at the picture above to see what i meanings. Anyway if you guyses want to join, or donate your pets to me go ahead and call ron meneseseses ok! So have a happy holidayses and dont forget to spay and neuter your aminals Or ill do it with a steak knife for you!!

Ok

Merry Christmases to you guyses

SCRAPS OUT!

Christmas Project

Hello everyone. I need to get everyone's help on something. I'm trying to put something together in time for the Christmas Eve party. Can I get everybody to email a picture of themselves to me? I promise they won't be used by any cats. My new email address is mark80smith@gmail.com. Thanks for the help, the sooner I get the pictures the better.

So I mentioned in the comments that I'm looking for individual pictures, but family pictures are also good. Doug asked me if they can be any picture, and sure they can be funny, formal, it doesn't matter as long as I get a photo of everybody. I've received about 11 photos so far. I also have some old photos on disks somewhere, but I'd like these to be photos that you submit instead of me just picking them. Again, thanks for the help on this.

Christmas Eve at the Grimsley's

Hello To Everyone,

Just a note to let you know that Jim and I will be hosting Christmas Eve at my house and all are welcomed.

I spoke to Connie first and made sure it would be ok. Susan reminded me that cookies and a cup of chocolet will start the evening at Grandpa Meneses' house first, around 4:00 p.m.

At this time I will plan to start things going around 6:00 p.m. As for the menu I am not sure yet what I want to do, I'll take a couple of days to plan it out and if one of my boys are here to help me post the information, I'll let you know by Wednesday.

I got a note from the North Pole, there may be a good chance that Mr. & Mrs Clause could drop by that evening and surprise the children. I'll give you more information on that too. (Just between you & me let's keep it from the children. If we play just right this could be a nice surprise for them.) If all of you parnets could give an idea as to what time would be good to have the jolly Mr. & Mrs Clause come it would be a great help.

I just want to let you know that Mr. Clasuse does have to leave early to make his trip around the world. He is a touch older than many of us, so he likes to get things done before it gets to late. The truth is he just gets tried sooner than most of us. :)

Today I just want to let all of you know for sure the place and time.

Love Elvia

Mother Daughter Luncheon

Hi Everyone! This is just a reminder that the mother/daughter luncheon is next Sunday at Connie's house. Also, for any men and boys feeling left out - you are invited to hang out with Jim, Everett and Sawyer at their place at 3 or afterwards. Sandwiches and beverages will be served.

It's Our Anniversary!!

No, not a wedding anniversary. Three years ago today this blog was created. It was started as a way for us to keep in touch by sharing news, pictures, etc. And to see that it's still around today says something good about our family. It's always good to see posts from different parts of the country and to see pictures of new babies and weddings (even of certain people's crazy pets), it's these kind of things that make our distant family feel a bit closer.
In the past 3 years since this blog was started we've had two weddings, and would you say a plethora of kids born into the family. Some of the changes in our family aren't all easy and aren't that great, but it's nice to know that we can come together and share things. It's my hope that this place in some way serves as that place. I hope that anytime there is news in the family be it big or small people can share it here.
Thank you all for the many contributions over the past few years. With Christmas coming soon, it will be nice to have plenty of family photos to post again. Keep the posts coming!! Happy Anniversary.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Holidays!

The Holidays are coming up and so be looking here to find out what the plans are for this year. If anyone has any suggestions on what we should do for Christmas Eve please let us know. Post a comment and share your ideas, or to let us know how you would like to help out.
Thanks!

Here's what Maria's up to!!!

Doesn't look like they get a lot of work done, does it?

From what I hear Jack tried to fly.

Happy Halloween

This is a new edition of the Pumpkin Carving Contest!

Pictures of Woodville

So my dad had an idea for a new post. He took a bunch of pictures of Woodville to show how it's changed. There were too many pictures to fit on one page so I decided to do 3 posts, archive them and post a link on the sidebar that will remain there. It was easier to do that than to put them all on the front page of the blog. Check them out, they're pretty cool.

I'm tired!!!

Here is the official picture when I passed the finish line. It was a great experince, but I couldn't do it without all your thoughts and prayers.

Mother Daughter Luncheon

Hi Everybody! We just wanted to post about the M/D Luncheon so that you could save the date and plan on being there. This year we are having the lunch on a Sunday, since we know the Holidays are so busy for everyone. So mark you calendars for Sunday December 9th. We haven't set an exact time yet, but probably around the same time it always is. Invitations will be sent out soon. Does anybody remember what year we first started doing this? I've tried looking back and I think this might be our 11th year but I'm not sure. Anyway, it has really turned out to be a great tradition and we can't wait to see you there.

Where is everybody?

It's been a while since we've had any new posts here, or any info on what's going on with people in the family so I just thought I'd ask a question and see what kind of answers I get. I know our cousin Nick is in Korea, he'll be there for a while and then he's off to Germany for another year or two. And I know that I (Mark) am in Selma and that Cathi is due in late January.

So. . . where are you?

Birthday Pictures

Looks like Sawyer had a good time at his birthday party. I'll try to add a few more pictures later.
