Addiction

Addict's
I wish when I was growing up there were coffee shops to hang out at. We never had such safe, easy, and cheap places to hang out at. I thought I would start my kids off with one more thing I never had when growing up. It's funny I tell my kids all the ways that their life is so different then mine...here's one more example at how much cooler this decade is. Whenever Sasha see's a Starbucks she begs for a smoothie. Enjoy girls- you deserve the best of everything.

Happy Birthday Hottie!

My girlfriend Sonja's birthday was this week and us girls took her out on our friend Leah's boat. We packed a lunch, drinks, and lot's of sun tan lotion for a day of fun around Big Island on Lake Minnetonka. I love being with my girlies, laughing, gossiping, exchanging stories about being mom's & wives, being over booked, under paid, over stressed, etc.

Sonja and her husband are going through a divorce right now, so there's always something to catch up with her about. What a suckie feeling going through what she's going through right now. I would hate to have 3 children and be in the middle of working, raising kids and separating from your life. If there are any wonderful, single, employed men out there who would like to meet my friend let me know. I love you girl- Happy Birthday!!!!!

Valley Fair celebrating Josh's birthday

We had so much fun at Valley Fair with Peyton and Tyson celebrating Josh's birthday...Andy was out of town. I think the bravest child was Lola...she begged me to take her on the roller coaster but she wasn't tall enough to do it. I think by next year she'll be ready and willing. We ate lunch, played games, and got drenched from standing under a ride. Josh drove Lola and I around in the old fashioned car and won a prize for himself and got one for his sister (she cried because she couldn't pop the balloons).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON!!!

Welcome to the GUN SHOW

This is Andy right after he got his Conceal Carry license~ I'll talk about that one later. I think I need to do some journaling on it.

I had this "Dear Hunting" postcard for years now. I am a hoarder always have been and I am assuming I always will be. So when I get to use something that I never thought I would ever have a use for I get super excited...can you blame a girl who hoards?

From Wikipedia

Compulsive hoarding (or pathological hoarding) is the acquisition of, and failure to use or discard, such a large number of seemingly useless possessions that it causes significant clutter and impairment to basic living activities such as mobility, cooking, cleaning, showering or sleeping. A person who engages in compulsive hoarding is commonly said to be a "pack rat", in reference to that animal's apparent fondness for material objects.

Geez, that sounds like me but my house is in order, I sleep at night, I shower, and I don't cook and it's not because of my collections of stuff...it's just that I don't cook (wink).

I'm going to take pictures of my {space} because I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression of my "hoarding"
