Wii fit

2009-01-13T13:35:00.003-06:00

Alright so since we got the Wii for Christmas, Mike made sure that he got me the Wii fit. (Personally I think it was because he wants me to get the ellptical out of the kitchen.)
So I decided that this Monday I am going to start back up on my diet and work out plan. That I started last year. I am super excited and I can't wait, to lose as much as I can before May 9th (THE WEDDING DAY)

Baby Alive

2008-12-26T18:35:00.009-06:00

Alright so this is the present that my daughter wanted so so bad. With the new baby coming in all I thought it would be a perfect gift for her. Oh she loved it. Didn't even bother in asking if she could open up any more of her gifts. That one would of just been enough.

This is a her opening it up!

And this is what I seen when I woke up on Christmas morning:)
The doll is really cute. She says alot of things. Kaitlyn just adores it. My favorite saying is "U oh I made a Stinky" haha Kaitlyn's nick name is Stinky

X-mas 2008

2008-12-26T17:57:00.011-06:00

This year everything about Christmas was just not like normal. Even still we had a good one :) One day before we celebrated it with my mom, Christmas Eve we went to my dad's. Then on the day of Kaitlyn went over to her Grandparents on her dad's side. So with nothing to do Mike and I went out to Denny's for an AWESOME lunch!
This year my Dad decided that he wanted to get us a family gift.
This is what he bought us! Oh my gosh we were so SURPRISED!! How awesome it that though.So today we spent most of the day driving around trying to find the accessories that we wanted. (The stores were packed and sold out of a lot) I got the games I wanted though :)

So far I have only tried the Thrillville game. I am not the best person when it comes to figuring out a game, So it is a little advanced for me. But I am just going have Mike figure it out for me....haha He will love that. The cooking mama cook off game actually looks fun I can't wait to try it.

Tour of Homes 2008

2008-12-15T04:06:00.006-06:00

Wow I can't believe that a year has already came..
When I seen that the Tour of Homes was going to happen again I hesitated on even doing it this year.

I just really haven't felt like being in the holiday mood, For many reasons but one in particular.... I am 37 weeks pregnant and don't feel up to all the work.

We decided that we would put up just the tree for my daughter. When we got it out we relized we couldn't find the base. Me being so pregnant and Mike having a broken hand still I just didn't feel like looking any more. Luckily enough my dad has an extra tree this year

So here it is..

Can't wait to see all of yours :)

So yesterday I had to go to the Doctor, When I pulled up this is what I seen. There were also fire trucks, Police men. We were like hmm I wonder what happened.

When we got inside to check in the lady at the desk said that someone had drove threw the window!!!

This is what it looked like when we walked by to go to the other waiting room. The only difference is that there was actually a guy laying on the ground. He had been sitting there in one of those chairs when it all happened. The paramedics were just running in at this time.
Super scary I tried to watch the news last night so i could see if it was on there and to find out what happend. But I never seen anything.

We went to down town Anoka, Mn this Saturday night, and took a "ghost" tour threw the town. It turned out to be really interesting, Alittle long,but it was a nice night to be out side.

And because I am a air head latley. I seemed to always not have something for my camera. This night I forgot to even take my memory card out of my laptop so I really didn't get to take any pics.

This Antique store looked really interesting and had a lot of fun stories about it. I think we may try to go in there some day :)

Have you ever been to a corn maze?
Oh my gosh we had so much fun. Not only was it a corn maze but it was an Apple Orchard too.... So we picked apples and raspberries. There was a hay ride, oh and we also got a pumpkin even.
We all had a blast.

Of coarse Mike wanted to pick the longest maze and it took us over an hour and half!!! I was very frustrated to get out of there.

That night after we got out, All Kaitlyn could talk about was how scary that was... She really thought that we may not of ever got out...haha

Oh my gosh!

2008-09-30T09:16:00.004-05:00

You will never believe what happened last night!
Me and Mike were talking together in our room when we heard Kaitlyn say something that sounded a little off. Mike jumped up to see what was the matter.... "There's a mouse in the house!" WHAT I get up to see what the matter was, Just then the moused runs under the door right towards me!!!
The only thing I am thinking about is not letting this thing touch my bare feet. Oh my gosh I started screaming! I am screaming Kaitlyn is screaming and Mike is running around with a broom in his hand freaking out on us to help him... I could not come out of the room I was just standing on my bed laughing.... laughing hysterically. I can hear Mike in the other room telling Kaitlyn I just need you to open the door for me. She was FREAKED instead of that she started running towards the mouse trips over the boom and hurts her foot!! I think by this time mike was pretty fusterated with us, I felt bad knowing I need to come and try to help this situation. I carefully come out of the bed room get some shoes on and tell everyone we need to calm down and work together to get this thing out.
Before long we cought it in a bowl and Mike let it go in the yard.
We sat and laughed for a good hour about the whole thing..
How did it get in there you must be wondering?
My cat honey brought it home for us... Kailtyn let her in not knowing tha it was still in her mouth. She thought she could just yelll at Honey to let it go and she would listen...
We are starting to have a problem with this every couple of days she is bringing something home. I think I may get her a bell to ware around her neck to scare everything away.

Interesting facts to know.

2008-09-26T18:07:00.002-05:00

I got this in an email and I just wanted to share, I really like some of the ideas.

DID YOU KNOW?
Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to
pick the little 'stringy things' off of it. That's how the primates do it.

Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store.
If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.

Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil.
It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!

Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating.
Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.

Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef.
It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.

To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them up.

For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting.

Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.

Leftover snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with the food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream. Yummm!

Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.

Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.

Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.

Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in
a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food
moist and help it reheat faster.

Newspaper weeds away
Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.

Broken Glass
Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily.

No More Mosquitoes
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.

Squirrel Away!
To keep squirrels from eating your plants, sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.

Flexible vacuum

To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.

Reducing Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and ... ta da! ... static is gone...

Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water.
Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such
as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of
your car When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!

Reopening envelope
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside,
just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily.

Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair.

Goodbye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it 1/2' with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid; mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!

INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS
The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after every load clothes.) He told us that he wanted to show us something; he took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh material ... I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like. Well ... the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh that's what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the film, but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free ... that nice fragrance too. You know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box .. well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to potentially burn your house down with it! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with hot soapy water and an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months. He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long! How about that!?! Learn something new everyday! I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that. So, I thought I'd share!

Twice a year a new Barbie movie comes out, and everything along with it.
My daughter has been lucky enough to get it every time it comes out, Even some how manages to get the barbies to go along with it.

Lucky enough for me one of the times is right before her birthday.
This year one of my closest friends bought her all of it. And I swear with in 3 hours of opening it the dress didn't work anymore.... How disappointing is that.

Dispite it all this was her favorite present off them all.

I hear there is a 3rd one coming out this yearBarbie Christmas Carol. Looks like she will be earning this one :)

Just a little scary #2

2008-09-19T21:15:00.004-05:00

You would of hoped that I had enough scare for the day...
While eating dinner tonight the hospital called me back and said that blood they took from me earlier in the day showed that my placenta was bleeding. And since I am O- I need to have this Rogam shot.

Crap I thought, I hope it is not bad. My daughter wanted to come with so I let my honey stay home this time so that he did not sit there and worry. (I think that he worries more then I do.) This time while they were trying to put the baby on the monitor they couldn't find the heart beat!!! Oh my gosh I wanted to cry in fear! They say that is normal at ny stage, But still.

K so in the end nothing bad came of it. My daughter got her laugh seeing me get a shot in my butt. I had time to sit and yack on the phone something I never do anymore. And I got a weekend off out of the deal...

Just a little scary...

2008-09-19T17:07:00.002-05:00

Okay so this morning I was doing some cleaning. As I was mopping the floor thinking about how I needed to talk to this certain some body when all of a sudden they called me! (Crazy huh?) Well since that phone doesn't work so good I went to get the phone from the other room.

Just then I slipped and fell really hard! Harder then I have probably fell in my adult hood. Smacked my head and all... I FREAKED! Called the doctor, They had me come in. By the time I had even left to go there I had already felt the baby move so I knew he was still okay. But because I worry so much I still went in.

When I go there they had me go to the hospital right away. See I have O - blood tpe so they needed to make sure that there was no beading.. They were like no biggy just but the baby on the monitor for awhile and then you can go.

K so we get there and after awhile they came in and asked me if I was cramping, No none at all. They said "Well you are, So you are going to have to stay here for awhile" I was so scared. I am only 6 months pregnant, This baby needs to stay in there :)

After awhile still cramping but nothing more. They let me go home. Everything seems to be fine. My neck is extremely sore though. I can't move it like I should.

Moral of the story is that I need to learn not to be SUPER WOMEN all the time and slow down. Ever since I found out that I was pregnant I feel like everything needs to get done NOW!! And yet still it is not good enough.

Alright I just have to share my great deal I got at CVS this week.

Everyone always asks me how I do it? How I get things for more less free? This one is a no brainer.

Okay so in the ad for CVS this week this gum is buy one get one free, In the newspaper on Sunday there was a coupon for buy one get one free. But here is the catch..... In CVS's monthly sale book when you buy 2 packs of this gum you receive a dollar in extra care bucks every time you buy two.

Best part is they actually payed me 2 dollars for taking 4 packs a gum!!!

Counterfeit money

2008-04-08T21:17:00.003-05:00

Okay, So I was at work today. One day of the week I cashier at the pharmacie down the road. This teenager came in and was acting quite strange. He really made me feel uneasy.

After about 10 minutes of him figuring out what he wanted to buy, He comes up to the counter with a candy bar..... I was thinking hmmm. This is weird. He goes to give me a 20 dollar bill, And right away I knew it was fake.

It looked a little different color green and you could so totally see that it wasn't even printed straight. When I picked it up it felt like card board almost just not as thick. Right away I grabbed my handy dandy pen we have to check money and it came up purple.

I told him I couldn't take it. He threw a big fit. Saying that he was just in here the day before and we had gave it to him... I then called the manager. Of coarse she said that there was nothing she could. He then threw the money at us...

We called the police to give them the money because we didn't know what to do with it.

They didn't even get a picture of him.... Why? because he said that there is just to much of it going around right now. I thought that was pretty strange. Why wouldn't they just want it on file.
I always wondered if I would ever know if I got a counterfeit bill. Oh ya I knew right away.

Oh I also heard that there is this new thing that people are doing. They are some how changing the number amount on the bill. So that when you go to mark it with your pen it won't come up counterfeit....

Have you seen one of these before?
They are really cool.... My daughter got one of these last summer
from my mom. She loved it and played it all the time.
Then the batteries went dead and it got mixed up in other toys.
Till a couple of nights ago.
We put batteries in it she played awhile before bed. Then a little more before school
the next day. Last night we played with it together when all of a sudden
it stopped working!!!! There was no fixing it we treid eeverything.
My daughter was so sad :(
I felt really bad so after she went to bed I got online and looked one up.
$70.00!!!! I couldn't believe how much they were!!!!
Now I KNOW for a fact my mom must of gotten it at a garauge sale or something.
Because there is no way she payed that.
I did some more looking.

I found this one... For $29.99 Plus shipping.

So I bought it. Even thought I probably shouldn't of.
But she deserves it.

So this Easter has been a little crazy. With my Grandpa and all. So I was feeling kinda guilty because we didn't really celebrate it at all this year. She got to spend the day with her dad. So I guess that is all she really needed. But when she got home she sure was ready to find her basket.

After seeing her start going threw all of her things in her basket I suddenly didn't feel guilty at all. She loved each and every single thing in her basket.

When I found this pen in the store I knew she would love it. She ran around the house saying that it was her favorite gift.

Seeing her smile like this made my Easter wonderful.

Happy Easter

Ever since then she has took over. It is her new hide out :)

Our Song

2008-03-13T13:21:00.003-05:00

k my daughter is so cute right now. This song "Our Song" By Taylor Swift is her favorite song. Every time we are in the car she wants to listen to it over and over. Last night she was talking about the song.

She thinks that when she made the song it was called "Her song" and now that it is so good it is called "Our Song" So that it can be every one's song :) Oh and that she should make lots of money from it.

I just have to laugh. That is the power of music, Everyone likes it for there own reasons

Wordless Wednesday # 19

I am so happy to be back. I love looking at everyones pictures.

Alright I know that this is Wordless Wednesday and all, But I really feel the need to give you some background on why I choose this picture.

This church is is St. Marys in Duluth, MN. I guess this was the church that my Great Grandfather and family were members of. I never new any of this. See the stain glass window? My last name is in the stain glass. I guess the family's that gave the most money got a window in there name...It's really cool.

So the reason why I was even up in Duluth yesterday is because My Grandpa is in Hospice care right now. So we are trying to see him as much as possible. My dad had been going over lots of family memories to us all day. This church is like right in the middle of St. Marys Hospital. And I guess the hospital bought out all the land around there and they are tearing it down..... SO we have people helping us make sure we get that window that says our name.

Weekend SnapShot Ten

2008-03-02T09:52:00.010-06:00

So this weekend we had our nephew over all weekend. I had to work on Saturday, While at work all three of them cleaned the whole house. (Except dishes and laundry of coarse) I was still really happy though. We have let our house slid for to long.

My honey told the kids that if they cleaned the room up good he would build them a really awesome tent to sleep in. Where they ever happy. This picture is the three of them at the beginning of the tent building.

When he was finished and had me come see, This is what I seen when I went into the bedroom.
This Is my daughter standing at the door way.

Of coarse I have to get one of her dancing in the inside... It was big enough for an adult to go in there. And her canopy bed fit in real good too. Made the tent even bigger.

They had so much fun last night. I couldn't get them to go to sleep.

This morning I asked my daughter how long she thought we were going to keep it up? She looked at me with these puppy dog eyes.... FOREVER! hahahaha No way.

He said he loves me

2008-02-02T21:43:00.001-06:00

"Damion told his friend who told my friend that he love me Mama"

"He chases me every day at school."

This was so cute. See there is this little boy who went to my daughters daycare a couple years when we lived at our apartment. When we moved we had to switch daycares.

At the end of last summer I decided that there was really no need for her to go to daycare. So I pulled her out. When we left that day she was "like mom theres this kid there that just started to day and I think he went to Kindercare."

Sure enough when she started school the next week at recess she seen him again. I asked her, "Well well why don't you just ask him if he went there"

The next day she came home so excited. "Yes Mom Yes He did go to Kindercare."

From that day on they have been very close.

But I always hear about who he chases her. Or how he loves her.

She is only in the first grade.

It scares me to think it is only the beginning.
