Birthday Dinner Pic

Let the B-day Weekend began

Hosting a Birthday dinner tomorrow night than my mother in law will be in town and we are going down town to Indy for dinner.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CODY!

Cody's New Toy

He has been building this for 3 years.

Got Bug Bits?

We have them and alot of them. Even Bella has a few. I have bought more cream but I still feel the itch. We still enjoyed our trip to Brown County but I will remember the bug spray.

Drivers License

What is one thing that most everyone lies about on their Drivers license?

THERE WEIGHT!!!

I had to grab Cody and my drivers license today for some paperwork and I looked at the horrible picture than realized I had this taken right after I got married. I was about 210+ in weight and I said I was 170lbs. :) Now, I am way below that weight and my license still has the wrong weight on it.

My husband got his drivers license renewed over a year and he put his weight less than 55lbs that he really was at the time.

Its not just females that lie about their weight - men do it too!!!

What does your drivers license say?

Vacation

Did I mention we went to Florida last month? I realized I didn't post any pictures.

On our way to the sunny Shine State!Sitting in the bar area relaxing.

Cody hates this picture but who else would take our picture on the beach?

On the pier. - it was very windy

Toes in the sand

Dear Bo and Bella

Dear Bo and Bella,

I hope you both have been very good for Aunt Mary as she came all the way down from Logansport to baby sit you. Bo I hope you have been taking your medication like I told Aunt Mary. Also, she told me she had bought you both bones (many bones) from Meyers and you both have been chowing down on them. Bella remember what the Dr. told you two weeks ago - you must loose 1lb - DR ORDERS...

Bo Aunt Mary told me that you chewed up her white sandals. You have not chewed up anything for a few months - Boy, you better had said you are sorry and that you wont do that again. You should of been grateful that she took time to come down and watch you and your sister.

Can anyone tell me who peed on Mary's blanket? She said it wasn't much but someone had potty her blanket when she was sleeping one night. Anyone? I would guess - Bo. Bella I told you that you was to watch Bo and make sure he wasn't going to do anything stupid.

Also Bo, I heard you are barking a lot- If your sister doesn't want to play with you - don't bark at her. Find a toy to play with yourself. Also, Aunt Mary said she hasn't found to many messes, I was impress until I told her to go to your secret spot that you like to do your business......she called and said found all of your droppings. Nice try Bo.

Bella - aka the kissing queen. Have you been waking up Aunt Mary in the mornings by kissing her in the face? I know you LOVE to give kisses but Aunt Mary doesn't like being greeted every morning with them.

Mom and Dad will be home soon. Dad can't stop talking about you both -we miss you! Be good and make sure the house is clean when we get home.

With Love,
M & D

Technology these days.....

Cant live with it and Can't live without it. - That would be what most would say about their cell phones, laptops, Blackberries, I pods, DVRs, and the list can go on and on.

However, Cody and I was at dinner at nice restaurant when a little girl (around 6 years old) walk to her table with her grandparents. As soon as they sat down the little girl started complaining that her I pod was not working. she had already put her ear phones in and the music wouldn't play. Has she thew her fit and tried to work the puzzle paper kids mat, I could see her grandpa irritated.

Why wouldn't that little girl want to have a normal converation and enjoy her grandparents company during dinner than to HAVE TO HAVE HER IPOD.

What has the world came too? A 6 year old girl throwing a fit about her nano is not working and her poor grandma trying to figure it out.

I set technology aside to have dinner or a conversation with my grandparents or even family matter of fact.

Even Cody and I sit every-night at the dinning room table and have dinner. No matter if its take out or something we made at home.

Ahhhh Vacation

Our trip here at Florida has been very relaxing. We really haven't went site seeing or what not but we have relaxed and laid by the pool and took walks around the hotel every night. Yesterday I went to the gym which was very relaxing and than head to the pool to relax and read.
However, no matter how much sunscreen I put on I am RED today. There is a chance of rain this afternoon so I will stay in and read my book and relax.

Our Hotel is in a business corporate technology park so there isn't much around to go shopping and ect. However, we walk to restaurants near by for lunch and dinner. Yesterday as we are walking by for lunch Cody said "hey look over in the bushes". I look over and there is a hut with a bed made with road signs build around a hut. A HOMELESS PERSONS HOME.

WELCOME TO FLORIDA

Flowers

This is my first set of flowers I ever planted at the house.....Cody took a picture. :)...

COUPONS!!!

I love coupons and I even get the Sunday paper just for them! I have saved from $70 dollars at one shopping trip. Last week, I saved only $30. I only clip what we will use or want to try.

However, my husband has other thoughts about my coupons. He hates them. Because it takes TIME- clip them, organized my shopping list, stack them in order of the store aisles and the worst- giving them to the cashier and waiting for him/her to scan every single one.

So, the reason for my blog- To complain about him THROWING MY COUPONS AWAY. I have spent now two weeks in a row, having my head and half my body in the tall recycling trash can trying to dig out my coupons. Not even the regurlar coupons but $10 coupon off at JCPennys and another one from Kohl s.

Note to Husband - STOP THROWING OUT MY COUPONS!!!!!
Thank You. :)

Fortune Cookies

I was having a hard day at work. I went over and beyond to help a employee than got in trouble for helping them and my boss said she should of took care of the issue. I didn't do anything wrong, but she was upset for some reason.

I sent Cody a email and asked if he wanted to meet for lunch. We decided to meet at our local Chinese restaurant. At the end of our meal, Cody grab his fortune cookie (which, he never opens/eat them) and his fortune said "The love of your life is right in front of you" - Which is very much true. Than I decided to open my fortune and it said
"Go over and beyond and it will pay off in the end" - today it bit me in the ass for going over and beyond.

Keys

Last Friday I meet my husband for lunch. As we departed to our cars after lunch, I got into the car and I couldn't turn the key. I figured it was because the wheel was turned, so I pulled on the wheel and lean on it to try to turn the key - it wouldn't turn. I panic and hurried up and called Cody as I seen him pulling out of his parking spot. After explaining my issue he came over and parked right in front of the car and hopped out of the Pilot.
He switch me spots and he couldn't get the key to turn either. He asked what did I do the car? I notice he was blocking people with the pilot, so I went to move it as I am getting into the pilot - he yelled for me to come back. He started up the car and said he got it. I asked him what was the issue?

You was using the Pilot key not the Accord key.
He just walked away shacking his head, he couldn't say a word.

I always know how to keep life entertaining.

Got Common Sense?

As my husband is sitting there with a friend he said he meet some interesting people.

Picture this at a roulette table on a Friday night at a local casino

One man still had his work uniform on and had talked about how he left right after work straight to the casino, he asked Cody "Hey do you have the time, I am suppose to pick up a Papa's Murphy pizza and bring it home to dinner to my family" Cody told him its 11:45PM. The man said "Oh Shit, its that late already" - Poor family waiting on dinner that never came and their father had spent his paycheck at the casino for hours!!!

Second man was complaining he had child support due and had not paid it for a while and needed to win big. He said he had no job or paycheck and he will be put in jail soon if he can't make Child support. - Why is he at the casino spending his last dime hoping to make a few extra dollars?

What happen to having common senses these days?

Good Bye Jeep

Today we turn in the Jeep.

Cody told me I better write a blog about it....so here it is.

Our Jeep.... was our first car together 3 plus years ago. It didn't get damage or a window didn't get knocked out through college. It moved us from College to adult life. Than it allowed us to bring home our baby girl Bella. But most imporant the Jeep helped us move into our first new home and many...many trips to Lowe's.
We traveled from North than South, to East than to West of the whole state of Indiana.

Thank you for a great time our Green Jeep Compass.

Hello, Honda Pilot.

A Wild Hair

My husband jumps out of bed throws on some workout clothes and says "I am going to do something I haven't done in years, going on a bike ride" I look at the clock and its 8:30am. He is out the door before I can leach the dogs so they can go to the bathroom and he is down the road. We walked around to the back of the yard came back around the other side and there is Cody inside the house looking at us.

What a long bike ride he had.......at least he went on one I guess.

Eating out

We have been trying to stop eating out as much during the work week. We found our selves many times just garbing something quick to eat instead of cooking after a long days of work and run. We have been doing this for a few weeks and its been hard.

The other night we had hamburger laid out ready to make dinner and Cody plead with me lets order pizza. After we talked about and talked about it, I just threw the hamburger in the skillet and started cooking it.

My husbands reply "Thank you for doing that, we need to eat at home"

Case Closed.

Have you checked your Medicine Cabinet Lately?

Cody came down with a head cold last week and when I went to our medicine tub half of it was expired.

Highly recommend you to check your medicine cabinet now before you get sick. I had to run to the CVS three times this past weekend to restock our tub.

I heard that the H1N1 will be hitting again soon when the weather gets warmer again. So get your shot or get your cabinet stocked.

I am now sick with something different than what Cody has...so Cody had to run to the CVS to grab more of another kind of medication.

CVS has had alot of business from us lately.

R.I.P. Gym Bag

I officially broke my 11 year old gym bag. I got the bag back when I was 15 when joined the dance team in high school. It made it through High School, College and now.
I am now taking over my husband's gym bag, that I bought him for Christmas and he has not used once.
