Oh Lord, wont you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My Friends all drive Porsche's,
I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,

So oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

OH MY! We had so much fun!

As you can see the video isn't working! And that sucks! Our Internet from home is being really slow! I started the upload 12 hours ago!

Anyway, I thought I would share these pictures with all of you of Dad's last night hosting open mic night at Jameson's. We had so much fun!

Photo Session!

Corina is so grown up already! I am lucky and get too see her so much!

HOW ASORABLE IS THIS KID???

So Smart too!

Fun Weekend!

We had such a fun weekend! Friday night was cool! We met up with Mike's brother Derek and his girlfriend Kiersten. We went to AJ's and then back to their new house! They just bought a house in January and were eagar to show it off. That was fun, we had to cut our evening short because Mike had to work Saturday.

Saturday

I got up bright and early at 6:45! My eyes just popped open! It was a very productive morning for me. I got my kitchen and bathroom clean, went to the grocery store, made homemade chicken noodle soup, and played with my puppies! All before noon! Then Mike got home and we enjoyed some soup, went out into the corn fields and stole some corn for the squirrels! After we got home Mike layed down for a quick nap and Mom and Dad came over! We had a lot of fun and a Bonn Fire...a Mini quick bonn fire! It was fun! After they left I fell asleep in the chair and Mike took me to bed about 11.

Sunday

Was a lazy day. I don't think we got much accomplished but it was a good day. We went to the store in the morning and Mike made a meatloaf in the afternoon. He makes an awesome meatloaf! I made a Cheesecake and a Regular cake, we were hungry for cake! :)

Monday

Last night was fun too! We went for a bike ride with Cassy and Corina. And we grilled out, then the Gray's came to our house for dessert, some cheese cake and cake!

It's a GOOD Day!

So i just was looking at this pic, it's not my camera...almost my camera but not quite, well you get the idea!!!

I AM SO EXCITED!! We went and got a new digital camera last night! We never found ours, I'm hoping that the new one will want to mate with the old one and she will come out of hiding! Then we can have 2! I do miss my old one but this has more mega pixels and is just new! But it's not pink...and that's sad.
See the evil kitty? I always said she was evil...now I have proof!!!
I know I know I'm a terrible mama, look how filthy and over grown! But they are still sweet and cuddly even after their their rain bath!
This is a cool feature! It takes 16 pictures in a row, the only thing I don't like is the fact that you can't pick your your favorite picture out of the 16, this is what you get. Maybe you can and I don't know yet...hmmm...
Like my bath robe? It has a cool mode called "smile mode" and when people smile it takes a picture with or with out pushing the button...this is me trying it out!!

It may be raining again...but it's going to be a good day! As you can tell we got a new camera! We got a Nikon Cool Pix 10 mega pixel 5x zoom. It is neat! It's funny, Mike went to Best Buy after work to get a new camera, he waited and waited and waited, when I got off work at 4:30 he called me and asked my to meet him there because he thought when the guy finally helped him he would bite his head off, so 20 mins later when I got there, I walked in the door walked up to the cameras and the same guy came right up and asked "how can I help you?" hmmm...you should have seen the look on Mike's face! Mike is sure it's just the T & A that got us the quick service...well I guess being a girl does have it's benefits! So we looked at about 15 different cameras and finally decided on this one. After we finally got out of Best Buy we went to Menards to get the filter and hose to set up our fridge so we could get water and Ice made Yay! Then we were STARVING! So we went to Fazolis. Mike and I ate out 4 nights in a row. I am soooooooo ready for a home cooked meal. Normally we only eat out on maybe Friday or Saturday! Oh well it was fun! When we finally got home at 8...we had to hook up the fridge thingamabob and finally sit down oh about 9:30. This week has been exhausting but fun all in one! So far I don't know what our weekend has in store for us but I'm sure it will be fun, possibly a Bonn fire?? :) Yay for nice weather!

El Pollo en mi Quesadilla?!?!?!?!

Si, Si Senor's en Senoritas. El Pollo en mi quesedilla! Muy bueno! But the service SUCKED! I was very saddened last night, we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner, something we have been craving for a month, and there was only 1, yes 1 server working in the whole restaurant. After about 20 mins we decided to get up and leave and go to Luigi's and try something new, but just at that moment the server came and took our order. So we decided to stay thinking that possibly he was getting caught up. Heavens no! When we finally got our food, he dropped it on the table and never came back again. I felt so bad for the hostess, who clearly wasn't dressed or prepared, or used to running in circles doing the servers job because she was the one that refilled our drinks and chips. Needless to say we did not leave a tip, if he would have come back just one time to see if we were ok...he would have at least got something. The service there is never ideal but it's usually tolerable. I was disappointed. I asked the hostess when we left if it was normal to just have the 2 of them working on a Wednesday, I think the question confused her and I never got a clear answer. We were very nice and didn't complain (normally we would) but when I saw all the other people ripping in to her I didn't wanna add to the stress. WWJD? I smiled and said thank you and wished her a better night. I'm just a softy I guess!! I'm not saying I wont go back because my food was still amazing, Mikes was ehh. We will return and hope for better service! :)

The Mikes!

THIS IS...THE MIKE'S!!!

They are weird!

I got my hairs did!!

I DONE IT!! I finally cut some of my hair off...believe me this was a long time commin! I don't exactly know how much but I know it was A LOT at least to me! Laura's boyfriend Tyler cut it and did an amazing job! He didn't pull my hair at all! That's talent!

After my hair cut, I picked up little Michael and went and showed off my dew to Mom and Dad then we headed to my house. Mike was eagerly awaiting us because we had a race car in our garage!!! Vinyl Guy Graphics Strikes Again! The reason we don't have any awesome pics of the race car up is because...we lost our camera! I don't know how, and it's very very frustrating because I watch that thing like a hawk, how do you lose a camera you ask?? You let your husband use and don't keep track of where it gets set down in the garage! It was my awesome pink camera too :( We have been searching since Sunday morning and can't find it anywhere. Oh well, if it doesn't turn up soon, I guess it's time for a new one. We were actually thinking about getting a new one but hoped to have 2! Luckily I had just uploaded most of the pics off of it Saturday evening, but most of the race car pictures were taken Saturday night! Not to mention the funny video of my smacking little Michael in the back of the head...now that was funny! :)

Our weekend otherwise was pretty tame. Spent most of the weekend working on the car a laying around the house and playing pool or cuddling the puppies! It was all in all a good weekend.

Last night Uncle Dave and Auntie Elaine Harder stopped through town to visit for a little while! It was really nice to see them! I love their hugs! After they left dad headed to his band practice so Mom, Mike, and I went out to dinner at The OP! It was so good! Onion rings and pizza!! After dinner (thanks Ma!) Mike and I went to Menard's to buy a ladder and some house paint! By the time we got home it was after 9 and I was so tired. Tonight Sharon is coming to town and I am excited to see her! I'll write more soon!! :)

Be Productive...NOT!

The Squirrel

This Video is of my Grandma Morse's dog Dinah, she cries when you pet her in the car...I think it sounds like her singing along to the radio, if you notice, right at the end of the video, I stop petting her and she stops crying!

Friday-

It was a beautiful day! Mike and Michael wanted to go practice trap shooting and I didn't so I went and picked Dinah up from the vet and visited Grandma for a while. After that I went to Mom and Dads house for a visit. Mike and Michael stopped by for a while but then they went home to play pool and I stayed and hung around with Mom, Laura, and Tyler for a while after that. When I got home I went right to bed with a headache...yuck!

Saturday-

Michael spent the night Friday and Mike had to work Saturday so we went to the family readiness meeting and helped play with the kids until about 1:00. It was fun! After that we went home and Mike was there so we had lunch and played a couple games of pool I actually used my clothes line and I LOVE IT! It's the coolest thing! If you don't have one get one! Even just for blankets! After that Mike made some signs and we ran to town to drop them off and go shootin! It was fun! I actually hit a clay! Wow! I only took about 6 shots and I did pretty good I thought! I was to busy taking pictures! After that we went to the grocery store and got stuff to grill and make potato salad! YUM! I think I did Jeni proud...tasted just like hers to me! The crummy part is that we didn't eat dinner until really late so we were all cranky hungry and tired, by the time we ate we just went to bed right after!

Sunday-

FFA Omelet Breakfast! Bring on the rinderwurst! I think that I am strange...but it's good! After breakfast we went home and played a few games of pool, then went to town to take Michael back home. After that we went to Jeni's to officially check out her new car!! We did some running and went home and worked on our room for a little bit. All in all it was a very relaxing weekend. I will try and write more this week...strapped for time today! :
