So cute!

This past Sunday Kari, Joran and I went to go see Marley & Me. It was so cute! Definitely a huge tear jerker but it made me come running home and tell Kramer he isn't really the worlds worst dog (sometimes he sure tries) and I had to give him a big hug!!! Cory said he refuses to watch it cuz he knows how it ends but I bet when it comes out I will get him to watch it with me :)

Happy New Year!! From my Uncle Stanley!

Can't 4 get our baby Kramer

Kramer got to meet his cousing Osa again this weekend. Last time he was around her she could fit in my hands, haha....I think that is the first dog Kramer has ever played with that is actually bigger then he is, LOL.

Family Fun

I hope everyone's Christmas went really well. On Christmas day Cory and I didn't do to much. We went and visited my aunt Leslie and aunt Toni and then went to my parents house for crab legs and primerib, yummy!! The next day Robert and Kara came to town with my 2 nieces, who are just getting so big and so pretty! What can I say, I am a proud auntie!!! Here are a few pics of the girls:

Happy Holidays!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Speaking of movies we went and checked this out last weekend. It was a little to action packed for me but Cory loved it and thats all that matters!!! It was his pick for the movie so of course he wasn't going to pick Twilight, hehe.

Twilight!!! Woo Woo!!!

I'm so excited...its on this weekend!! Cory and I will be there even if he is kicking and screaming the whole way!!

Not for a weak stomach

What exactly can happen from a cat bite? Well, in Kramers instance you get an infection and then your leg starts to seep blood (where he was bit) and then your skin falls off....

And now he gets to wear his e-collar aka lampshade for at least 2 more months if not longer.... if he don't he will not leave his wound alone which causes more infection which will result in him getting his leg amputated....so thats what we are and will be experiencing for a long, long time.

Fun Times

I love Halloween! This year, Cory and I went as vampires. I loved our costumes and it was hysterical because when we went out nobody and I mean nobody recognized me! You would think with me being out with Cory, Kari and Jenn that would be a dead give away but it wasn't. Haha!

We all had a really great time! There was a

big group of us (Cory, Kari, Mike, Jenn, Pat,

Mitch, Chris and me). The others were fun

haters and didn't dress up so I won't post

those pics, LOL!

And the countdown is on!

YEAH! I LOVE HALLOWEEN!! I KNOW, ITS SILLY BUT I STILL LIKE DRESSING UP, HEHE. VAMPIRE PICS COMING SOON....

I'm a geek I admit it.

I guess I am a geek or whatever but I am in a book club. Some of my friends thought this was hilarious but I think it is going to be alot of fun and an excuse to get to hang out with some girlfriends. For the first book we had to read the Time Traveler's Wife.



I struggled alot to get into this book but in the end it turns out to be a pretty good love story.



I'm excited to see what Denise picks for next months book!

Snowfall and nursing

It started snowing Thursday night and is still currently snowing (Saturday evening). I have enjoyed the staying in all snuggled up and getting to finally drink some hot chocolate :)

However, I wish our Kman wasn't so sick. On Tuesday morning Kramer stumbled upon a cat in our back yard. To cut a story short, it wasn't pretty and I cried a whole lot Tuesday because I knew somebody had lost an important member of their family. The cat didn't make it through the fight....we did find the owner though so she didn't have to wonder where her cat had gone. Anyways~apparently Kramer got bit by the cat on the leg. We had no idea but by Thursday his leg was swollen 3x it size so we called the vet and brought Kramer down there.

I guess cat bites are not pretty, the vet informed us that a cats mouth is the dirtiest mouth out of all animals. Kramers leg is not in good shape. We had to shave all the fur off it because at first we thought he had broken his leg. When we shaved it, it was apparent that he had a horrible infection that would explain his 105 fever.

So, to make a long story kind of short Kramer is now wearing a lampshade aka e-collar to keep him from licking his leg. He has gone back to the vet 3 times now because his leg kept swelling and bleeding everywhere. Today, we have him on 6 pills a day and I am trying to keep a warm towl around his leg to draw the blood and infection out (plus it helps him from getting blood everywhere).

Here is a pic of our Kman :) He is having a rough week but his leg definetly looks better this evening and he can actually walk on his leg so he is starting to get better!!!

More pics of K-man being abused

For those of you who think we are "cruel" to Kramer.....haha it really looks like it.

My model :)

I had Kramer model my new wigs for Halloween, hehe...I think I will go with the long one :)

The "Original" Ranta Girls

Yeah all my aunts and I got together for a good family pic while Tamm was in town :) My grandpa and JoAnn were in town too but I forgot to get a pic with them ;( Anyhoo~I think this pic turned out really nice.

Halloween!!!

Ok~I know that I am a little old to be dressing up for halloween but I'm not gonna lie, I LOVE IT!!! Last year Kari dressed up as little red riding hood and Jenn and I were beer girls :)

So this year I am trying to figure out what I want to dress up as....so far I kind of like ragdy ann :) but if anyone has ideas please throw them my way :)

Home Again

Well Cory and I are back from Virginia and we had a marvelous time (thank you Leo and Jolene)!!! To start off telling you about our trip I have to start with our hosts who took very good care of us! From the beginning they had every comfort of home at our disposal at Remo's Bed and Breakfast (Remo is their dog) :)

We had the opportunity to do many things while there plus some serious relaxing!! One day Jolene and I went to the spa while the men went to some military museum or something, haha.

Next, we went to Busch Gardens where I managed to finally get on a rollercoaster after a few drinks ofcourse. :) Anyone who knows me knows I am scared to death of rollercoasters but it turns out they aren't so bad :( We also had the opportunity to go to the beach and the coolest thing ever happened there, dolphins were swimming on the beach!!! Now that is a place to live when you can see things like that!!!
