Fort Wayne shopping!

We set out yesterday for some fun. Shawn, Mom, Cassidy, Brooke & I got to Fort Wayne with a game plan in mind.

Cassidy had wanted to go to Club Libby Lu the last time we had went so I suprised her with already having an appointment time for her. She was shocked to say the least. She picked a Rock Star makeover. So on went the nail polish, makeup and star face bling. She looked so cute then they did her hair in twisty's and then came the rocker girl hair! She looked so dang cute. She also got a "Pooch Parlor" which was a stuffed friend, t-shirt for the pet, collar and a pet purse. She got a pink kitten and she named her Pinky. Shawn headed back out to find a bench while Mom, Cassidy, Brooke & I helped Cassidy decide on wether she wanted to make body spray, lotion, lip gloss or facial masks. She finally decided on lip gloss and body spray! It was so much fun and we can't wait to go back!! Everyone kept commenting on how cute she looked!



After Libby Lu we headed down to Build A Bear for some fun for Brooke. She ran right in and was picking out animals to stuff. She had a hard time deciding wether she wanted a elephant or a bunny. She did choose a bunny. She fluffed that poor bunny FOREVER!! It was funny. After that she picked out an outfit after picking out ten. She named the bunny Spongebob!! She LOVES spongebob so much!!

Finally we got to go shopping in the mall and ate at Red Robin! We did a bit more shopping and stopped off to Sonic on the way home for dessert! It was an AWESOME day!! Thanks to my momma for going! Can't wait to do it again!!!!!

Spring Break at the park...........

This past week the kid's have been home on spring break. On Wed. we headed out for a day at park in Wauseon. The kid's ran and jumped and played for over an hour, we even took a walk in town. Brooke was wanting to find a bench the entire time for a "break". Dad came by and we all went to lunch. We had a good day and after supper I let them go back outside and play while I raked some leaves and things. What a beautiful day it was.
Thursday was a big day for Cassidy, she was going over to her friend Emma's and playing with Emma and another friend Chloe. She had an awesome time. Even though school is on break dance goes on. So we left for dance and it was a spitting rain and a few flakes of snow. By the time we got out of dance the roads were a snowy rainy slush mess. By morning the roads were icy and nasty!! Is our spring hiding under a blanket of snow?! Can you believe the last week of March and we are still getting snow storms like this....?!!

Family time

*Cassidy * Mom, Cassidy, Grandma, Me, Brooke *
*Cassidy & Aunt Midge * Brooke*

I had Easter dinner yesterday and what a day!! The girl's loved running and playing with the kid's. Great food and great company. Thanks to everyone who came!

Easter Morning

Amanda & I had went to Toledo earlier Friday and went shopping and to lunch. It snowed a little and then by the time we got back into town it was melted and the roads were wet. By eleven that night the roads were horrible covered in snow and drifted. Friday night we got a boat load of snow to say the least! The Easter Bunny had no choice but to hide the eggs inside with the five inches of snow we had outside but it worked. The kid's were so excited. They love the beta's.

Addiction to ink.........

Okay I'm honestly begining to think going down to Randy's for more ink just might be an addiction!! So this weekend my grandma came up and got her tattoo bling-ed up!! She loves it and from the pictures what a difference!! He is a talented fellow!!

Lilly has found a new home!

So ... Lilly had been doing so poorly for a long time on going in the house, since the first snow fell. Back in January I sent Lilly out in the semi with Shawn and he took her to my friend Vickielynne in Indiana to see how Lilly would be with dog's like her (Vickielynne has three) and if she would do better because I was at my witts end with her. So when she came back she did AWESOME for awhile then it seemed like maybe she was jelous of the attention the kid's got. Last week she pooped on the floor twice then she peed on the couch on my blanket after coming in from outside and I had seen her go. I put her on petfinder it was truly what had to be done and a really nice vet tech from about thirty minutes away adopted her and she is doing very well there as "Michelle" has no kid's and someone is always home. I'm very sad to have had to do this yet very glad to be poop and pee free home once again!! Lilly will be missed VERY much! Brooke wants to visit he rnad maybe over the summer we will.

A "splash" of a good time!

We took a mini-vacation this week to an indoor waterpark Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky. It was so amazing to get away. We had a AWESOME AWESOME time. I had my reservations about the girl's! They both don't like water in their faces and they are VERY reserved in and around the water! To my amazement they both were VERY brave!!!!! They went down everything and LOVED it!!

Tattoo - Tattoo - Tattoo

Yesterday it all started with a phone call from Amanda Jo. From there Mom & I went to Amanda's brother Randy & his wife Heather's house! Randy's friend John was there tattoo-ing. I got a tattoo on my foot of flowers and foo foo, Amanda got a star-y girly girly on her foot. Today, Mom got her's foo foo-ed up!! lol Fay got her Dale Jr - Amp tattoo! We all got inked and John's coming back next weekend so more ink.......maybe baby!! lol

It snowed a little last night!!

So it snowed a "little" last night. Cassidy & Brooke could hardly wait for Shawn to get home so they could go out and "build" something!! So off I went to town to run a few errands and about 45 minutes later this is what they had created!! So much excitement for me to see.............they are talented huh?!

Happy Valentine's Day

They both had great parties at school!!

Bye JUNO!!

Hello!! To those of you who haven't heard or I haven't e-mailed you!! I have had some VERY serious technical issues with Juno. I had scanned and updated my anti-virus and it stormed over two weeks ago and when I shut down the computer, I have recieved error messages since! I cannot connect or check e-mail at all!! How weird is that?! So I call to try and recive help and I get an automated blah blah blah, after several phone calls and getting MAD I finally got a real guy in the cancellation department to talk to me so then after waiting over a week for a new Juno CD and after installing and unistalling Juno several times. Still no luck then I called the almighty technical support! Mind you I have had Juno over six years as an free e-mail and after trying others as my internet access I have always went back to what I was comfortable with. I call and they want to charge my credit card they have on file, which is Shawn's debit so it comes straight out of our checking..are you ready for how much?? $1.99 a minute!! I about fainted are you kidding me!! So after calling several numbers I found in all my computer junk I get back into the cancellation department. They offer a month free of this all "wonderful" technical support. So I call and after a FIFTY EIGHT minute conversation on the cell phone the woman was so frustrated (I could barely understand her - I could tell she was foreign and we had done so much "fixing" and nothing was still working) so anyways I tell her this is making me very upset that I have had not one but two problems in the past thirty days and I start to vent (not cussing or being rude) and can you guess what happened?? She hung up on me!! Dang it Amy!! Now i'm not just mad I'm freaking HOT!! I sat in the same spot not to lose her on my cell the entire time!! UGH!! So I dial right back and it was busy!

SO meanwhile I check on Brooke who is still up and adam!! Not to my suprise she had been in the water and had a mess in the bathroom!! YEAH as a mother I LOVE messes, NOT!! Shawn says it's job security but that's another conversation, check back!! LOL So I decide I better potty and there is no toilet paper!! I think to myself I knew I had gotten out a new roll for Cassidy that morning, I look around thinking maybe it fell or someone put in on the shelf something right! I think to myself....BROOKE! I look in the bathroom trash and to my suprise there it was soaking wet!! That kid I tell you!! So I ask what happened and she swears it wasn't her. I asked did you put it in the sink and after awhile she admits her guilt and so I put the toliet paper back on the roller to dry until morning. I'm not about to let her throw that in the trash it has become an expensive MUST HAVE!!

So back to Juno I go back to the cell phone all call again, I get a guy who is insisting I have a pin number to access the account, I have no such thin and NO ONE else had asked me for this information. After talking to three more people I finally get a woman who is willing to drop my price in half if I'll stay blah blah. I tell her that's fine but I had spent by this time two phone calls and over an hour and a half on the phone and no one can get me online at home with the software! I have a REALLY old CD that I can get online but I cannot access my address book or anything I have saved with Juno. So after a thirty nine minute conversation I ask the woman where is your call center located, ready?! The Philapenes!!! I said no wonder I cannot understand what anymone there is saying!! I have now deleted my account with them and I'm moving on!! I did set up an e-mail account but we haven't found an internet carrier just yet! So please add our new e-mail address!!

Madisynn

Madisynn is having surgery tomorrow! I ask that you still keep my three year old niece Madisynn is your prayers! She went last Friday and had her surgery to have the stitches taken out. They came out well, with the exception of one spot had to have a "tape" put on and it will fall off in ten day's or so! The eye doctor came in and good news she can stop taking the eye drops and cream. They look good!!
Today she went to see the doctor and have an x-ray of her elbow. Bad news! It has shifted and she will have to have surgery tomorrow! They will put two screws into her arm and into the bone to place the elbow in the proper place to heal correctly. She will have them in for two weeks and be in a soft cast!! She is not to be out of bed except to potty and she has to be carried there. After that the doctors say she will be in a lot of pain for the two weeks. Then if it's healed correctly she can have the surgery to have screws taken back out and then get a hard cast! Poor thing!!

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers!!
