One Day Down...

One day down. 4 more to go. The weekends always go by so fast. We had a very busy weekend. Saturday I spent most of the day in bed. I didn't feel well. I started not feeling well at work on Friday. By Friday night, I felt rotten. I went to the doctor late Saturday afternoon, and found out that I had a sinus infection. I am now on an antibiotic. I feel better, but still feel really run down. I can't seem to get enough rest. Sunday afternoon, we took the kids to see Winnie the Pooh. They actually got to meet Pooh and Tigger back stage before the show. We all got our picture taken with them. That's all Janessa has talked about that she got to see Pooh. As long as I was holding her, she wasn't scared, but if I put her down, she would freak out. They both enjoyed the show very much. Jason still is working on the shed. He took the day off today from work. He had a couple guys come over and they put the shingles on. He still has to put on a front door and the siding. It is really shaping up and definitely looks like a shed. Actually, it looks more like a small house. It's huge!

Have a great week!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr--It's Cold!

Where did the weekend go? They just go way too fast. Is everyone enjoying this cold weather we are having? I hate it!!!! I know it's that time of year though. People are saying this winter is supposed to be another BAD winter. I am just thrilled about that one. I don't want to have another summer of flooding. It can't happen two years in a row.

I am having a Party Lite party on Friday, December 12. I am going to send some invites to those that live away from year. Obviously, I know that you won't be able to come, but if you would like to order something, just let me know, and I can order it for you. The invites will also have the website on them that you can go to to see all that's available to order currently. Unfortunately, you can't order online yet, but you can sure let me know.

Jason's parents came up and spent the weekend with us. We had a very nice visit with them. Jason and his dad went to the Farmall toy show in Dyersville yesterday. This is a twice a year tradition in our family. Marlene and I and the kids went out and braved the cold, and guess what we did? Yes, we went shopping. Marlene was able to get a little Christmas shopping done. Of course, I haven't even started. I am wanting to get my Christmas cards ordered soon because I like to have them sent out sometime around the first two weeks in December.

Blessings to Everyone!

Jaron's 5th Birthday Party

New pictures of my sweeties!

October 17, 2008

Thank you Lord that it is finally Friday!!!! It has been one of those weeks. This election crap is really annoying. I will be soooo glad when it's all over. Jaron had his last soccer game last night. They won. He played very very well. I think he was finally getting a handle on things. Of course, now that the season is over. I just about froze to death. I was cold 5 minutes after we got there. It took me quite a while to thaw out. I filled up our van today with gas, and it actually cost about $20.00 less than normal since gas has been going down. That was a good feeling. It sure has turned off cold. I guess it's that time of year though. It was cloudy and rainy all day here today. Tomorrow sounds like it's supposed to be pretty nice. High in the low 60's. I hope it's nice because we have a wedding to go to in the afternoon. We will miss out on the last of the Hawkeyes vs Badgers game. I have a feeling that the Hawkeyes may get beat again. I guess that I need to stay positive. Right, Kevin?

Have a good weekend!

Almost Hump Day...

Wow! It has been a long time since I have updated on my blog. I have spent the last hour and a half on my Facebook page updating it. I added several new friends to it. Tomorrow is Wednesday, so we will be half way through the week. I will be so GLAD when this political season is over!! I am so sick of all the ads. I am so busy at work right now. It is totally nuts during the political season. The ads bring in lots of dollars though. So I guess that's job security. But it will be nice to see it all over with. Jaron's last soccer game is this Thursday night, then we move on to wrestling. I hope to get some pictures taken this weekend of the kids so that I can use them for our Christmas cards this year. I want to have them taken outside somewhere where the trees are in full color. The trees are beautiful up here right now. I noticed that gas went down to $2.79 today. Woo Hoo! It will never be where I would like for it to be again.

Well I need to get to bed. I can barely hold my eyes open.

Have a great week!

Friends in Christ,

What a Beautiful Day....

I can't believe all the nice weather we have been having. This morning was very chilly. Jaron had a soccer game. I just about froze to death. I was dressed very warm too. This afternoon, it got a little warmer, and turned out to be a beautiful day. The kids played out this afternoon after they both had naps. There is a chance of rain tomorrow. It probably will rain since we washed the van tonight. It never fails. Fall is definitely here. I love it though. The fall is my favorite time of the year. I love all the fall colors!! The trees are so beautiful when they turn to their autumn colors. They are turning some up here now. They say they will be at their peek the week of October 13th. We are going to take family pictures somewhere outside when the trees get in full color so that I can use them for our Christmas cards this year.

I am going to get some shut eye now. Good night everyone.

Blessings,
Janese
