Happy Holidays

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I know that we sure did. Jacob got so many things that I don't think he knows what to do with them all. I promise to post pictures soon.





My sister Katie, his godmother, gave him a goldfish for Christmas. Jacob was exstatic!! He named him Frank, well Frank went belly up that next day. (I don't think goldfish like to travel) Well Brad and I had the brilliant idea of going to PETCO and buying him Frank #2 before he found out that Frank #1 died. So while Jacob was at his dads on Saturday we went to get Frank #2.





Two hours and $91 later, we are leaving PETCO with one small gold fish, a 14 gallon tank with a filter and a light, rocks, fake plants and who knows what else. Brad decided that Jacob needed more than just one fish and of course we couldn't keep Frank #2 in that small little fish bowl forever. OMG!!

Well, we got it all set up and put Frank in the big tank. When Jacob came home on Sunday he couldn't believe his eyes. He watched that fish swim for hours. He was a spunky little dude. Later that evening we left to go grocery shopping and stop back by PETCO to get a few more fish for the tank. By the time we got to PETCO they were closed so we headed home. When we got home the first thing that Jacob did was go and check on Frank. "Mommy look Frank is sleeping!!" Needless to say, FRANK WAS DEAD. Yep, you heard me right....fish #2 down the toilet.

I think that the water was to hot in the tank so we moved the tank to a different room. So tonight we are on a mission to get some more fish!!

Snow Day!!!

I love SNOW DAYS!!! Tuesday Brad, Jacob and I had a snow day and it was wonderful!! The weather and roads were crappy so we just decided to stay home. We played games, and colored Christmas pictures, and watch movies.

Jacob and Brad both helped me do laundry and dishes. Aren't they wonderful?!

Then we all took a 2 hour nap.Yes, I needed it. And then Bernie made us soup for supper and it was delicious.

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!!!

Update!

I don't know where the time has gone but it seems to be flying by. I have been a bit of a slacker with the camera the last few weeks so I really don't have pics and wish I did.

Last weekend was spent baking cookies at Janice's house. We all had a good time but I think Trisha and Jacob had an exceptionally good time decorating cookies for daycare. Needless to say they both ended up different colors!!!

As most of you know, I am taking online classes throught Columbia College trying to finish my degree. Well, this weekend was finals. UGGGHHHHH!!!! Friday night was spent, writing a 11 page paper that was due by midnight. Saturday I had my Mary Kay open house from 11am - 4pm and in between customers, I had to complete my final exam which was 100 questions. Needless to say, it took me all day. Then Brian and Trisha had their Christmas Party that night. We had a blast. If you have not played the game Apples to Apples, may I suggest that you go out and get it because it is a blast to play. Sunday, I RELAXED. (Sort of) I finished putting up some Christmas decorations and wrapped presents along with trying to clean the house a little.

WHEW!!! I am glad this weekend is over.

More to come latere.....

The Dentist!!

Well Jacob had his first dentist appointment the other day! He did very well. He let them count all of his teeth and even pick around a little bit but he sure would not let them clean his teeth. So he gets to go back in a month so they can clean his teeth. He promised that he would let them clean them then. We will see!?

For mom, I wasn't so lucky. The teeth cleaning was wonderful!! I love it!! But I had 2 cavities coming loose. Of course they are on opposite sides of my mouth so I have to go in twice and get 2 shots. That Stinks!!

Weekend Update!

I hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving. I know we sure did!

You don't realize how quiet the house can be when there is not a 3 year old around. Thursday evening Jacob went with his dad and was with him the entire weekend. Needless to say, Mommy is having MAJOR withdrawals.

Friday I spent the day picking up the house and helping Brad. I also went into town for a few hours with Janice and now I know why I don't shop the day after Thanksgiving. WOW!!!! For those of you that went, God Bless you!

Saturday, Angie and I did some shopping down at the lake. We had a blast. We were claimed sisters TWICE!! That is kind of scary although we have been friends long enough and are enough like that it is sort of true. Anyway, we did get some pretty good deals. YEAH!!

Sunday, I lounged around the house, finished homework, took a nap, and watched movies. Yead, definitely missing Jacob.

HAPPY MONDAY!!!!!

Wishing you all a safe and happy week.
