So we have finally figured out where the bill came from. Apparently Zac didn't realize that the number lock needed to be on. The phone is in his pocket and the internet is getting turned on when it hits things. He has redeemed himself, however the lock is always on now.
Our family!

Aah Technology!
I got a couple of BIG surprises this weekend all thanks to technology!!!! The first came when we walked into the living room to find Garrett watching Wall-E. My first thought was we do not have that movie and it is too new to be on TV already. Oh yes, Garrett has figured out how to use Directv on demand and order pay for movies at $5.99 a piece. We asked him to show us how and he did, we found that he has ordered four different movies. Lovely!! It does not end there, today I went to pay my cell phone bill online to see the balance of over $400.00 for the last month. My jaw dropped. I went through the three phones that we had to find the cost. Texts - fine. Picture messaging - fine. Then I went to data charges and found out that zac had $206.00 in data charges for the last month. Help!!!!!!!!! Apparently you can access the internet without having an internet plan and it is not cheap. If you hear of Cha-cha from your kids do not let them access it from their phones. They use it to ask questions like sport scores during church, how many ways is this story disturbing. I feel the money draining.

Second Thoughts
Okay so I have had seconds thought this facebook thing for teenagers, but it is too late. I walked into the kitchen last night to find Zac on it, no big deal. I asked him what he was doing and he said "Talking to three people at the same time and it is confusing." I realized that I cannot go back and see his istant messaging on Facebook like I can his text messages on his phone. I am going to have to watch over his shoulder. Technology isn't always a good thing. Zac is a good kid, but I still plan to spy. Heehee!

So I am way behind!
I will confess I am way behind on pictures. I have put some more on today so scroll down. There are still Christmas day and the piano recital to post. I have to admit that I spend more time on Facebook these days than I do the blog, thanks so much Amber. I got on there out of curiosity when Amber's blog started to fade off and she said she loved Facebook. I also wanted to see a couple of Daybreak sites there but you had to be a member, free of course. So i joined. I have had so much fun catching up with friends. I am back in touch with Sharon and Hollie from high school, all of my California friends, my mom's childhood best friend, my family members. I admit I check it several times a day to see what every one's post for the day is. Love it!!! I even let my son get on, scary thought. I have one disappointment over the holidays, we hosted Christmas day at our house with my family and Alan's family. I made sure I had room on my memory card for pictures and then did not take a single picture, how sad is that. Oh well at least I got the kids that day. Another reason for all the delay in postings is the flu came to our house in a big way, 5 people in 2 days this past week. May it not return for the rest of the winter. I hope everyone had a great holiday season!!!
