Monster Jam 2009

We went to Monster Jam in Detroit! What a trip the roads were horrible! We got a bit of a later start than we had wanted but it turned out to be just the right amount of time! It snowed so much it was just silly to even be out, I don't think any road in our county had been plowed at all by noon! We stoped for a quick McDonald's lunch in Toledo and we were off to MONSTER JAM rahhhhhh!! LOL Once we got into Detroit we seen over six cars and trucks off the roads or spun out most were 4x4! I have to admit I was nervous. We followed our friends and they plowed the way! We got there for a pit pass time then the show, our seats also came with hot dogs and pop! ((Kelly & Shawn figured all this out when buying tickets!)) It was so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The drive home was even longer because of the roads but we made it back and had a BLAST!!!!

Christmas Day

Christmas Day what can I say it was WONDERFUL!! Shawn had been out on the road and he got home at 5:30 am and thank goodness the girl's slept until almost nine!! It was a great time and the girl's were so EXCITED to open all their gifts and they even "fainted" a few times!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Santa's Cookies

We usually do this all together but Shawn was stuck out on the road so we tried to hold out and finally on the day before Christmas Eve we made our Santa cookies. They turned out SO cool! The girl's always do an awesome awesome job!! They were super yum-o!

Preschool Christmas

Brooke's school party was so much FUN!! I was in charge of the craft and we made snowflake ornaments for the tree with their pictures on it and they turned out super nice and Kelly (my friend) was in charge of games and she is super full of enery and excitement so it was so awesome and another Mom brought cookies to frost and did they ever!! LOL So much fun at five!!

Happy 11 Years To Us!

Shawn & I celebrated 11 years November 8, 2008. We ended up trying the Melting Pot in Toledo. It was a romantic resturant, not for kid's at all! First course we chose a cheddar cheese fondue it came with apples, breads and veggies. Second course was a salad, Shawn had house which was AWESOME and I had a Spinach tomato bacon, it was good! Third course was the main course, we has deleted all seafood we don't eat it at all so we had steak, chicken, duck and ravioli with potaoes, mushrooms & broccoli. Dessert Course was last and we chose a ying yang fondue and it came with so much to eat! It was by far the best course! It was truly wonderful, the bannanas and marshmallows were my favorite! It was a wonderful night!!
