My gosh it has been exceptionally busy, I know how much you all like pics, and I have been promissing, I am going to start with some just before Christmas stuff, and move forward. There are a lot, some good, some scary, and some that only Casey(thats me by the way) would like. There are cute babies . . . and babes, so take a look.
Oh and on the name thing. Lets start with "Casey". It is generally a good name for a male, or female. It was originally a Gaelic(Irish) surname, and was derived from O Cathasaigh, meaning "descendent of Cathasaigh" and the name Cathasaigh means "vigilant" in Gaelic. It seams to work around to being translated from that down into alert, watchful, attentiveness. It also has been translated to mean "Brave protector". All good qualities of me.
The way I got that name is that it was my real Fathers nick name. His real name is Raymond Lee Fox, and got the nick-name Casey from his younger days when everyone was out working and had finially finished for the day saying things along the line of, "Time to get a case." "I got a case lets go." "Get a case and come over." generally everyone knew he liked beer and he didn't buy it in small quanities. Somehow along the way he got the nick-name, Case, which transfered to Casey, which transfered itself to me.
Now time for pics.
I think that the scrape marks on this sign amplify its intended meaning. "Walk on the other side of this railing or you will get runned over."
I got to hang out in I-need-to-take-a-napolis, IN just before Christmas, and this beautiful girl(Shawna Bromley) decided to take me to an Art studio and hang out for a few hours. Good stuff. The first time I really met(met is not the right word, but the first time I made a real connection and met the heart of who she is) was in Hope Cemetary near Mexia, TX, which is the home town of the now deceased Anna Nicole Smith. We were not there for her(Anna) she wasn't dead yet.
Just before leaving for Christmas I showed up just in time to not help Char and Jonathan pack. Good timing on my part. This is them in the car ready to leave for Slow-hio.
CJ, "This one is mine?"
CJ, "Look I got a spatula!!!"
CJ, "No, you don't understand, these are mine! . . . they are mine right? . . . sniff . . . sniff . . . mine? . . . sniff . . . sniff."
My sister Mary got a new DVD Player, every DVD she got was individually wrapped. It made for a big pile, she was happy.
My Dad all excited about his pink camo, sorry Abby, none for you. Every year for years everytime we asked him what he wanted for Christmas he would say "A Redhead with freakles."
The above line should explain the following pics. I had the greatest idea of what to get Dad for Christmas.
Say good bye to the grey Buckwheat, er . . . I mean Mom!!! She said we could only do it if we used wash out hair dye, I couldn't find any, so I just told her it was wash out.
A massive head wound is what that looks like, or a bad plate of spegetii.
Time for the rinse cycle, no those are not tears of blood from a statue of Mary. We are Babtists.(LoL that was funny in my head.) My sister Sam did the dying, I did the picture taking.
My brother Mickey(oh God only knows how good it was for me to see him, it has been a looooonnnnnng time) and nephew(Sam's kid, not his) looking on in shock to what is happening to Grandma.
Finished product. She ended up liking it so much she decided she wanted to keep it. Not the freckles, but the hair, it was then I told her it was not wash out dye.
Casey James Marion Fox(CJ for short). Is this my Christmas present too?
Who is that masked man?
My Sisters and Mom; Sam, Helen, Mary.
My brother, newphew, Mom, and me.("My me" that is not proper english) Anyway, who do you think was the center of attention this Christmas?
Yes once again, it was CJ. Mickey, Mom with CJ on her shoulders and BlackWolf(thats me by the way.)
Brothers and sisters and nephews . . . er . . . nephew. He was getting tired of being passed around for endless family pics, this is the only way he would smile.
Then I headed to Denver, got to drive thru the great snow of Christmas 07 to see my soul dance a jig of happiness in hanging with more friends and family. This is the great M to the fourth power. Mr. Matthew Mark Miller. His wonderful sandwich making wife, . . . I didn't forget her name . . . no I sware . . . oh there it is . . . Becky and there beautiful little girl Kathrine.
In the list of best Colorado freinds of all time(MMMM and fam. do not qualify, they aren't from CO, but the do make the best RI friends of all time list) Patrick Reid. We were supposedably recreating a shot of of Harry Potter, but I didn't see the movies or read the books. Thus my look of confusion. Becky and Patrick were all goo-gaa's over his scarf, again a Harry Potter thing. While they talked about that I attacked an attack cat.
This is supper over at Mike Moo-la-check's house. I have no idea how to spell his last name, but his wife is from Listerin-a, a former state of russia. She is a good cook. I got to scoop snow out of their driveway!
Then off to my Aunt's house. Got to hang out with more family. Most of the pics are on my iPhone and I don't feel like pulling them off so you get Miria's at her birthday.(Never give your child a December birthday it is just wrong, and could be considered abuse in my book.)
And Dylan, he is playing with my iPhone. They got a Wii for Christmas, that was fun, untill we boxed. Then it was a lot of work.
After I went back to TX and got right into my truck and headed to OR, I got to Portland early and got to hang out with Kurt and Erin. Great folks, if you don't know them you are missing out. Go, get to know them, and you will be blessed. I promise.
The great and wonderful Alan Cleaver loves to have his pic taken, as you can tell. He got me the most bestest wraped Christmas present this year.
There were 30 something different wraping on my gift. Season 6, of "24". Much happiness.
I got to finally have some much needed talking with the beautiful and gracious BeRekah. Here is her playing with Zach at my house. It is so nice to have a kid whose diaper you do not have to change living at your house!!!
And I also got to see these two beautiful girls as well. Candice,(the black one) and Evan(the white one) and me(the Indian one(no not Indian as in from India, Indian as in Original Ameircan, we had the name first!!!!(yes I know that to not be true.)))
There would be more but they are still on my camera and I don't feel like taking them off.
Later and much happiness. The engin on my truck needs rebuilt, not fun times.
