Hello out there :)
Here we are after a long week of sick folks in our household. I can finally say I'm feeling 99% better just with a little cough, after the last three weeks of well... HELL :( but I'm all good now.
Sad to report that my hubby is sick now... got the sickness from Mitch, Blade and myself... only one it hasn't hit yet is Issac and hopefully it won't get to him.
Weekend here and gone but it was good. Friday was filled with "catch up" from what I kinda let go for awhile while I was sick...still much to do this coming week but I was happy with the little accomplished things I did get done. Friday night Jer had a little work he wanted to finish up from the day so I went shopping for awhile at the mall in DBQ... many changes going on there but still have to say it doesn't compare to some of the other malls I attend, but all improvements make it a much HAPPIER shopping trip :) We wrapped up the night with a great supper at Houli's and then met up with some friends at the Bent. A good night for all of us!
Saturday was a fulfilled busy day of running, errands, mix of just stuff to do. We were having a 40th Anniversary celebration for my awesome parents! We had the event at the local Club 528 in town. All my dad's siblings and spouses as well as my mom's attended. It all went very well, I was very pleased! Its so great to see your parents so in love and so happy and just enjoying themselves with their closest family members.
I must honestly say I was worried about the entire event all week... just about the attendance, the food, the place where it was being hosted... just all of it! Why? well several reasons... not a big fan of the Club 528... just have had too many bad experiences there in the past... (I know that is minor but its a worry I had) Well someone was seriously watching over me! The food was actually good, service was WONDERFUL... everyone thought it was a great setting! Hats off to the Club 528 for doing a superb job for my parents!! My BIGGEST worry was something happening to one of my dad's siblings, since he has 3 out of 6 siblings who have severe heart conditions and they all suffer with diabetes. It all went very smooth, no family conflicts of any kind and my parents really really enjoyed the evening.
So with wrapping that up, my parents are truly two people who stand for what love is all about, they have been married for 40 years, been thru a lot through their marriage... good and bad, hold their faith and family close their hearts, especially family! They have taught us all so much throughout our life and I'm very proud of them both!!! I love you both mom and dad! Thanks for all you have done for me and my family!!!!!
Jer and I will be celebrating our 13 years of marriage in May. My life with Jer is WONDERFUL and would not have it any other way!!!!!!! well... besides having my house done that would just be the topper :) jk, all good things come in time and I am just truly blessed.
We have a busy week ahead at our house, Jer travels to Boston this week, Mitchel has track meets, soccer practice, Issac has the walkathon on Friday and well for Blade he is just dying to get outside with NO rain :) For me... I want to get a lot accomplished this week!!!!!!!!!! Air out our house, wash all bedding and CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN and bring Spring on full force!
Hoping to get together with friends this weekend and hit a movie, supper, and a few drinks. Anyone wanna go see HAROLD N KUMAR??? Think I'll have a few drinks in me before my attendance at the movie... Details to come in email...
All of you have a SUPER week!!!!

hrm...
Not a whole lot to blog about today but thought I should post something :)
The month started off great with celebrating Jer's birthday with friends... then it was followed by me being sick for 4-5 days... no not hang over sickness either... round 2 of NASTY COLD... I'm convinced I had Influenza A and B this year!!!... then later last week my little Blade got sick... he's been sick since last Wednesday night until today mostly... he's starting to feel better now.
So Blade and I have been chilling at home the last several days.
I was feeling better but then when I would go like actually go and be productive around the house... my body would fight me and tell me NO... and of course I don't listen too well... since I can't stand my house a mess... just ask my kids :) But I was finally starting to feel better this week with the exception of the cough...
Yesterday I had a nice visit with Dustin, chilled out at our house in the afternoon with a few drinks. It was good for him and it was good for me... maybe its what the doctor ordered because today I feel much better! Thanks D!
Mitchel's first track meet was this week. He's a little upset with how he did but we told him that it is the first one and with due time there will be much improvement... with the wind against them its a tough battle to run hard. Hopefully the meet tomorrow night will go much better for him :)
Little Harley isn't so little anymore... she sure is growing LOTS! becoming more aggressive and FEARLESS... now she will actually go up the steps... but still won't go down them which is ok. Potty training is much better but still working on it daily. She LOVES to be outside and go for walks and well rollerblading too... infact probably enjoys rollerblading more since she can RUN!!! but sometimes when I try to walk her then she wants to run... kinda funny but I can deal with that. She really is a good dog for the most part with her little troubles now and then ... but thats puppy life!
No real big plans for the weekend, infact none at all besides a soccer game so it will be nice to have a LOW KEY weekend.
Well... I best run time to make supper and Harley needs to go outside.
Hope the 70's are here stay! Was beautiful today but the wind... could die down! HELLO SPRING FINALLY!!!!

SNOW GLOBE?
Ok seriously... it rained then it turned into snow... felt like we were in a snow globe :) the flakes were HUGE :) A pretty snow but SERIOUSLY... I am ready for Spring!!!!
Issac got all excited about the snow ( since he is the kid who is still wishing for snow at our house) it was quite cute!!! but of course I had to burst the bubble and break it to him that its not going to amount to anything. But gosh seriously he was on 'cloud 9' when he saw that snow :)
LIt'l Harley HATES cold and rain... so PLEASE LET SPRING COME!!! She is getting better and better, we only had two accidents today, YEAH!!!! Its still a working process :) She is definately getting used to us, she knows when we are scolding her or praising her... so that is all good. I'm anxious for her to work with Tory again, and well we are going to need to put her fence in REAL soon, yesterday she ran out into the street twice :( so that maybe a necessity REAL soon.
Not much new here at our household. I did get our table done... YEAH! I am really happy with how it turned out. I got all the peices painted... with the exception of one chair which I will get done but it needs a little work done to it first. I'll post some pictures soon... I just can't decide if I want to keep all the matching chairs at the table or mix it up with two leather captain chairs we bought... I'll be taking a poll :) When doing your 'answer' remember I am going after the "POTTERY BARN" look with antiques mixed in of course :)
BIG weekend ahead for us! Motorcross season is beginning for Issac this weekend at Hawkeye Downs with a season practice/schooling thing and he is REALLY EXCITED! Mitchel's soccer season has begun too... his first game will be Sunday... BUSY BUSY! Jer's birthday is on Monday and we are going to gather with some friends close to home at the Bent RIm Saturday night, please know its an open invite and if you are free that evening... come join us! We'll be there anytime after 7:30pm.
Tomorrow will be a busy busy day for me now that I have completed the BIG job of the table... I need to tackle laundry and clean bathrooms and pick up bedrooms and maybe decorate the foyer... we'll see how much I get done tomorrow :)
Until I blog again... maybe I'll see some of you this weekend... hope so! Enjoy your weekend!!!!
