I was doing so good I know. About posting I mean. We have been so busy the last couple weeks. Visting a new addition to the family. And then every other weekend I have to work so that makes the weeks go by fast. Next month is looking even busier. Next weekend I have a baby shower to go to. The weekend after that I work. The weekend after that is my brother and his new brides reception. The weekend after that I work. The weekend after that is Kaylee's b-day party and I work part of that weekend cause it is my holiday to work. I am hoping Sept finally slows down. Who knows if it will be I can dream. So other than that things are good. There are some things coming up in the future that are fun. Some changes in the future. So there is some hope for better posting. Stay tuned!

Weekend recap
So I have alot of pics to post. I will have to make a slide show for that. And make it a separate post. This weekend was the 125th centennial for our town. Plus every 4th of July is the fire departments street dance. So thurs nite was the street dance. I haven't been able to participate in that for 3 years with working and being pregnant. So I have stayed the last 3 years. So I was glad I didn't have to worry about working this weekend. Mike is on the fire department so he has to help with the dance. Since we have been together we sit at the gait and put on bracelets for the dance. So that is what we did this year too. Mike's brother and his wife and kids camped out in our back yard this weekend. So they were here too. I did wander throughout the nite. Friday was a kids parade. Some of the kids joined in on that. We kinda hung out the rest of the day. That nite was the fireworks display. My husband lights off the fireworks in the town display every year too. So he was doing that. My mother and father in law were here during the day Friday and Saturday. After the display we shot off fireworks in our back yard. Then to bed for all. They had a tribute band playing that nite but we decided to stay home. Saturday was the big town parade. They had a wild west reenactment come. That was really neat to watch. They had this drum band play, they are from soo foo. They are called Su Fu Du. They were fun to watch. Then a car show. I know this is kinda a rambled post. That is how the weekend went too. After the car show a tour of the school. Then naps for everyone. Supper, then karaoke for the adults. Today lunch and reclaiming my house back. We don't ever have company at our house let alone for 4 days and 3 nites, I am glad to have my house back. Don't get me wrong I am glad that everyone came to our house for a change. None of our vehicles left town all weekend. But when your not use to people in your house and people here it is an adjustment. I was starting to get snippy yesterday. So I am glad to say the weekend is over and we get our house back to just the 3 of us. I am glad this isn't a yearly thing. I honestly do not know how my mother in law does it. Although she does have a bigger house. Which would have maybe made a big difference. So that was what our weekend consisted of. I hope everyone had a good fourth and weekend. I will get a slide show of pics either later tonite or tomorrow posted.

Rules of South Dakota
Rules of SOUTH DAKOTA
1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Let's get this straight; it's called a 'gravel road.' I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
3. They are cattle. That's what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-90 goes east and west. I-29 goes north and south. Pick one.
4. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
5. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of ducks are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.
7. Yeah, we eat South Dakota roast beef, pork chops & corn on the cob. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.
8. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of pheasant season and the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday.
9. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.
10. No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.
11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup!!
12. You bring 'coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
13. College and high school basketball is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
14. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it spooks the fish.
15. Colleges? Try South Dakota State, University Of South Dakota, or Northern State College. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come for the holidays.
16. We have lots of folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, so 'Don't Mess with South Dakota'. If you do, you will get whipped by the best.South Dakota is the greatest state ever!!If you are from South Dakota, you are one bad hombre!!!If you do not repost this, you are not a true South Dakotan!!!!!

Weekend
So this weekend didn't pan out like I had in my mind. First off I worked thursday nite. So I got off work Friday morning at 6am. Had to go to a safety thing for work. So I got home about 8am. Then I made a special gift for a coworker. She had her baby that nite at work. Then I think it was 9:30am when I finally laid down to get some sleep. I slept until about noon. Picked up kaylee, after getting ready, from the neighbors. She is my backup daycare. Off to my husband's work. There got a chip fixed in the windshield in the van. Then me and Kaylee were off to go see the new baby. The gal I work with that is, they have a little girl that is 6 days older than Kaylee. But she wasn't there. After visiting for awhile we left and went to Walmart for some shopping.
Saturday my plan was to get caught up on laundry. I had put a load in the washer and was checking email. I went back to see if my clothes in the dryer was dry. Well now mind you I feel very sheepish about this. The washer wasn't running. I opened the lid thinking it was broke. Our water lines are really small. So the rinse cycle took a little longer to run water in. Well I thought it wasn't working at all. I turned it to different cycles and it would spin. So I called my mom. Her brother has an appliance store, that she works at. She told me they had a washer for us. So then I called my husband and was telling him what was going on. While on the phone with him I was back looking at the washer. I shut the lid and low and behold it started running. Dummy me, it was unbalanced. I forgot that it stops when it gets unbalanced. Which for an old set is pretty good. So they we weren't going to get the new one, but my mom convinced me to get a new pair. It was a good deal, my uncle would take our old set in on trade and he would drive from Madison to Centerville to fix them if something happened. So we got my brother in law to help us, by using his pickup for the trip. We loaded them up and got our first new set of washer and dryer. The old set was in the house when mike moved in. Which was over 10 years ago. We did find out that our old set wasn't probably running the most accurate. The new set is awesome. We got a Whi*rlpool. So anyways that is what we ended up doing on Saturday.
Sunday we had a family reunion. After coming home I decided it was time to take Kaylee to the pool for the first time this summer. She was ready to just jump in when we got there. We got in and she fell in and under. Then we were scared. It took a little while but then we tried again. As long as I was right behind her she was okay. Then eventually I was just along side her. She was loving it. She did swallow her fair share of water. But for the most part liked it alot. If you ask her she went wimming. So that was our weekend in a nut shell. Hope everyone else had a good weekend.

Old news
So it has been awhile since I just posted happenings. Well I am hoping that that will get alot better after yesterday. Here is why. We finally got our tax incentive check last friday. My husband told me like 3 months ago that you are going to buy a new computer with that. For one if he didn't want to spend money on something like that he should never have said it. So yesterday I got my new computer. I didn't get a desktop. I got a laptop. So far I love it. Right now I am sitting in my comfortable chair in the living room typing this. It is also nice cause as most of you know we live in a single wide trailor(HAHA)so the living room is in the front of the house. Where our desktop is is in the back of the house where you can't see what is going on outside. SO that is a nice thing too. So this new computer also runs really fast. That was one of my other reasonings for not posting as much, I was using my moms desktop and for some reason her's runs terrible slow. So now I won't get so frustrated when trying to post something. So that is one thing I have new to tell.
Oh yes this is going to be a long post, I gots lots more to tell.
In april my little brother and his fiance got married. They just did a little wedding, they would like to renew their vows in a year. They originally were going to get married in July but a little bundle got in the way. She would have been due the day before the date the had originally set. So they went to the justice of peace and then had a nice reception with family and friends. So now I have an offical new sister-in-law. I really had considered her that before then. There baby is due the
10th of July but I don't think that she will see that date. They are having another boy.
My other brother and his girlfriend got engaged too. The day we went to the zoo, that nite he asked her to marry him. They will probably show up one day married. He doesn't like big groups of people ohing and awing over him. And doesn't like 20 questions. SO I can see him doing that. Not a big deal. They are the ones that have the little precious girl that was born on my 30th b-day.
So now they stuff that I have failed to get posted about us. We now our the owners of a van. I say we are now like everyone our age, I am a soccer mom. The reason I say that is because of what we use to drive. We were considered ol folks before. We use to have a Buick Park Avenue. Our banker when we bought the car asked us why we wanted to buy an ol farts car. So we found a really good deal on a nice van so now we are in the right age bracket.
So that is the oldest news that I haven't gotten posted lately. I will try to get some pics of things here in the next few days if not today.

Long time again. Sorry!
It has yet again been a long time since I have posted anything. I am sorry! Alot has been going on. My husband had a birthday a couple weeks ago. We didn't do anything spectacular. We had a few friends over for burgers on the grill. The weather didn't really cooperate for what I had been thinking. But that is the downfall to living in this wonderful state. You can never trust the weather. What else? I did the kingswood rummages. I picked the day it started to snow to go. I worked nites the nite before and thought that morning I was a ravishing lunatic to be doing this. But I wasn't the only one out there. I couldn't believe all the people I was seeing out in that crappy weather too. I ended up with alot of stuff though. I came home with a heaping garbage bag full of clothes for my daughter and an umbrella stroller. I made my neighbor jealous. She couldn't believe I found all the stuff I did. But I am all about finding good stuff at rummages for my daughter. I made a hauling last year. I have missed a few city wide one's I went to last year and got alot at. But that is okay. I have the rest of the summer yet. That is if the weather lets us have a summer. Lately I have wondered that.
Kaylee is growing so fast. She is a talking queen. Some days all I can do is laugh and then cry. She comes up with different statements that just make you laugh cause they are so cute and then you want to cry cause it seems like just yesterday she was a baby. I have lots of pics to post. I will try to do that later. One of her favorite things to play with lately is a swiffer duster. I love it. She walks around the house with that saying "I cean I cean", I hope she says and does that still when she is a teenager. We were outside the other day and she was sweeping the alley. I know, there is a cement pad behind our garage and then the alley. Well she started on the cement pad and then ended up in the alley. But her comment the whole time was again I cean momma I cean!
Another big event in our fam is my little brother got married. It was a simple family affair. With renewal of vows in a year. So not anything big at this time. Which is okay.
There has been a few b-days in the mix too. My nephew had his 4th b-day. We went to Chucky Cheese for that. I have decided that that is just a big pot of germs waiting to affect it's next child. That week after Kaylee ended up with pink eye, which in turn she shared it with me. She got it in one eye but shared it with me in both. Fun stuff. I am 30 yrs old and that was the first time I have had pink eye. First time for everything. In my last post we had alot of illness. Well that lasted a month at our house. Then I had a break for about 2 wks. Friday I went to work starting with a cough, I left half way through my shift. I was miserable. Saturday I went to acute care. Bronchitis! Saturday nite and all day sunday I was about in tears from the pain in my ribs and chest from coughing so much. Monday I wasn't a hundred percent, but thought I was getting a little better. I am done with the antibiotics but still sound horrible. I am still coughing. I am extremely congested in my head, my right ear is plugged. But they can't give me anything else. I am so sick of this. I am hoping now that the weather is starting to look like maybe the weather is going to get nice out.The illness will get better.
So that is what has been going on in our lives lately. I am sure I have forgotten some stuff. I am hoping in the next few weeks I will have purchased a new computer. As soon as we get our extra tax money we are getting a new computer. So that will help immensely with posting more often. The computer I have now is so slow that I get frustrated and give up. So anyways that is all for now. Will post pics later.

Sick of Sickness
Okay I want a show of hands! Who is so sick of this weather we are having? I know I sure am. Kaylee started with croup on thurs last week. It then turned into the worst head and chest cold she has ever had. Last nite I went to work for about 45 min. then they sent me home. I didn't feel the greatest when I left, and when I got to work I got really crappy. I started temping. So now I have a head cold, that I got from my daughter. So we are a pair today. She is getting better but slowly. I blame this dang weather we are having. I wished it would just knock it off and start getting warm out so we can open windows and air it out. I am so sick of sickness!
Friday, March 28, 2008
So have I totally gone overboard with the post today or what. I know terrible. See now this is where you would think I would get the clue as to posting more than once a month and having to post so much it makes my head spin. But like I said slow computer and life gets in the way of that.
Kaylee once again has a wonderful viral infection. This time it is Croup! YA! I was up for over 30 hours yesterday. I worked Wed nite. Mike called at 3:30 to tell me Kaylee was sick. I left work at 4am thinking I will go home and get some sleep before she gets up. So I could take her to the dr. Well when I got home at 5am guess who was up. She didn't go to sleep until 3:30 that afternoon. Needless to say I didn't go to work Thurs nite either. She is better today. So that is good.
Tomorrow is our 5th anniversary. I cannot believe that it has been 5 years and because of leap year it is 5 years to the day. Kinda neat. We are going out for dinner tomorrow to our for special occasions only resteraunt. Lone Star. It has been a year since we have been there. So looking foward to that.
Other than that we have been busy busy busy busy! Sorry to bomb bard with all the post in one day. Have a good weekend.
