On a Serious note....

I try to post stuff from time to time...  humorous happenings and doings of our family... But on a serious note please keep my sister in law... Bridget in your thoughts and prayers as she has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Disease ( French Polio).... A paralyzing disease that uses your own bodies immune system to attack your nervous system. Bridget has been unable to move and  in the ICU since Thanksgiving and will most likely need continued therapy next year. Stay strong Bridget! Everyday you grow stronger. You have no idea how many people are pulling for ya! 

   

Visits to Iowa and Quad Cities

Christmas Cookie Decorating

Swimming in the Coralville Holiday Inn Express Pool.

 TYLER: "So Michael, why is it that I look like your Daddy, and you look like mine? Whats up with that?"

MICHAEL: "What!"

Kamryn loves what we call the "psycho ward" baby at Grandmas House.  They were definitely meant for each other

Some Plastic Surgery

Our Recent Project: Face Lift to  the Hallway.

Before:- Boring...... Boobie Pendent Pulte Builder lights... shotty construction, etc.

While gathering ideas, I saw this and told Brian we needed to install a lift chair because of how many times I go up and down the stairs in a day..... and oh I have a coupon too!

But then, he said no, because he didn't want this to happen to me....

 

The rip up begins

  Almost Finished... Now for some new carpet and accessories. That comes later....

The Raking

Leaves. Then more leaves on top of that. Then more leaves in the water, on the shore, in the house. Leaves in my pants, leaves in my shoes. Leaves in my hair.

That pretty much sums up that weekend we closed the lake house.

This brought me back to my Gymnastics Days. Should have worn gloves huh? 

Unicorn Poop Cookies

Came across this video by accident while searching for kids videos on you tube.  These are called "Unicorn Poop Cookies"  The kids, being at the age where poop and pee are awesome and funny, thought this was the best thing ever...... A full tutorial is available on you tube. 

Nailed it.

Meanwhile, in the Hostess Aisle......................

Spidey and his friend

Spiderman has a heart to heart with this little fella in the toy room. This spider by the way was a world record here in the Hamilton Basement.

Halloween 2012

And our only beloved Halloween decor, the drunk witch who keeps running into our house every year.She has had so much to drink that  she has turned green and is missing one of her socks.

And the night ended perfectly with this classic on AMC
