3 days off

Today is Thursday and we're off, no school, no work!!! Yesterday was my normal Wednesday off since I have to work this coming weekend(halloween) YUCK!!! Lainey came home sick yesterday and missed her party at school, so good thing I was off anyway. She complained of a belly ache but acted fine most of the day. Today she has also been fine but did complain this morning that her ear hurt. I'm just hoping that if anything gets worse it waits until tomorrow since we're going to be in the clinic for her eye checkup anyway.

Tonight we're carving a pumpkin, I should say Daryn and Lainey, then watching the Shrek Halloween special on tv. I must have the most boring life ever since I'm actually looking forward to all that. My pumpkins were all rotten so I had to go buy a new one. I think it was all the warm weather we had this fall cause I've never had that problem before.

So this is a card I made the other night, did some sanding on coredination paper, very simple and made 2 pink and 2 blue. I saw them someplace on Split coast so they have been in my favorites for a long time, each card has a different saying on them.

So here's actually a card for once. I had a bridal shower for a commitment ceremony in Las Vegas a couple weekends ago. I tried to make this look like the leaves were falling down.

Right now outside there are no more leaves left and we have a wind advisor for tonight, pretty strange. Today is Tuesday and I'm off until Sat and Sunday. Lainey doesn't have school Thurs and Friday, tomorrow is her Halloween party at school and they can't wear their costumes they can only wear black and orange. Tomorrow morning I'm going to Abby's program at St John's school where she is attending this year. Next year she'll most likely be at public school, Lisa didn't really trust the teachers there with her diet this year.

Last night I was in bed with Lainey and she says "you know who i love the most?", no who? "God" so I was very happy she said that and asked why, she said cause He made everything and he made us! Thank you power hour!! So tonight we pray before supper and she doesn't even remember the prayer, better get working on that. Thank you God for blessing us.

weekend getaway

This weekend we decided to go to Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls and spend the night w/o Lainey. She spent the night with grandma which is always more exciting as far as she's concerned. Grandma picked her up around 11 and we also headed out, ate lunch at Texas Roadhouse then shopped at Kohl's thanks to Lisa's 30 percent off coupon!!!
Then headed to Ann and Monty's house by 2:30 for the badger game, they beat Iowa, it was an awesome game.
Afterwards they drove us to a few of their favorite hangouts and at the first place we all did the shake a day and I won $75 AWESOME!!!! So that paid for our little trip. We had homemade pizza at a bar called Moke's in Hallie, stayed overnight at Ann's and headed back home early in the morning.
Today we had breakfast at the legion where Lainey was helping grandpa sell tickets. Daryn went hunting on our land for a LONG time today and saw a few deer but none that he could shoot. Sure getting hungry for venison!!!
So right now is half time of the packer/viking game and we are losing, CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!!

MEET MAX!

Maxwell Oscar Koepp born 8/31/10 weighing only 11 pounds and 4 oz!!!! This picture is from the hospital, he's a cutie! We got to babysit Max and Abby last night while Jason and Lisa went to the bud bike drawing in Marshfield. He is the best baby ever and I'm not just saying that cause he's my nephew, I mean he's an easy baby, never fusses just eats and sleeps. Although last night is the first time I heard him babble and I have already seen smiles and he's only one month old.

Yesterday Daryn's port was removed, it went well and he was only there for an hour. The guy said you really got attached to that thing and had a little hard time getting it out. We got to keep it and show Lainey what that bump has been in his shoulder. Daryn's been sore but did work yesterday.

Today(sat) we are heading out of town!!!!!!!!!!!!! going to eau claire for our anniversary and doing whatever we want and possibly staying overnight(lainey is going to mom's). Got some shopping and eating to do then meeting up with Ann and Monty.

Happy Anniversary!

HAPPY 9TH ANNIVERSARY DARYN!!! One year ago today we found out you had cancer! Thus began six months of chemo and tomorrow on 10/21/10 you will finally have the port removed from your shoulder. Now checkups are every 3 months for at least all of next year.
Hopefully this has been the worst year we'll have to go thru and the rest will be a breeze. Thanks for the best 9 years of my life so far!!!!

my dad's ass!!!

Today work sucked ASS, therefore this picture of my dad's ass Rudy is very fitting!!! This was Lainey's first time meeting him, he's actually pretty nice and loves to be petted.
So its monday and of course I ran my ass off at work (i really wish that happened) and then tonight the kirby vaccuum guy is coming to do a demonstration, yipeeeee!!! I should have just told him we're broke and he's wasting his time but my couch could really use a free cleaning!

Today we had one of the worst possible cases in the ER, a 3 year old died after his mom accidently ran him over. My desk is really close to the room that we call the cry room and I could just hear exactly when the doctors told the family, makes your hair stand up on your arms.
So better finish here so I can make some supper before the kirby guy gets here.

Sunday 10/17

Here's the card I made for Max's baptism which was 2 weekends ago already. His sponsors are Dallas, Jim and Bern from Jump River. I found a nice saying online that I used for the inside and printed on my computer. Baptism was at his house afterward and we were able to eat outside, it was chilly but nice, of course the guys stayed inside to watch the packer game. Later on we rode out to our land and dad marked some tree's he will tap in the spring, he started on one side of the driveway and already has 30 tree's so he didn't even start the other side. It was so peaceful out there we sat around for awhile then headed to Donnas to meet mom and have a pizza.

ANOTHER wonderful sunday.

Today is also sunday 10/17 and Lainey and I (daryn worked AGAIN) went to church at St John's to watch Abby sing. She's going to 4K at the church this year since Lisa wasn't thrilled about the teachers at the public school. Now we are headed to Garrett's 6th bday party at his house then on to grandpa Don's house to see Kyle and Juliann, Dana and the girls. ANOTHER great and busy sunday.

Yesterday was busy also we had Shannon's wedding shower at aunt Beth's house at noon until 430 then came home for the night. Daryn worked all day at Buck's new house thank god he is almost done there. Before the shower Lainey and I went to the land and planted some pompas grass that I dug up from my grandpas old house before dad actually sells it soon.

This past week Daryn had a 3 month checkup and things are great, he's off coumadin and will have surgery next thurs to have his port removed, next year he will also go every 3 months.

10/10/10

So this picture was from 10/10/10 what a neat date. There was actually someone that got married on sunday in Neillsville just for the date. The ceremony was at the highground(also very pretty this time of year) and reception at the old dome. We raked the leaves into a pile and lainey and ruby had some fun. I took lots of pictures and Daryn rested inside, he was sore from tracking the 8 pointer that he shot with his bow and never found. He tracked it with my dad for 5 hours and followed blood but no luck, I felt so bad. He did get his arrow back cause it went right thru the deer, he sure doesn't have much luck with anything!!!



So we also took a hayride on sunday with some friends (Kuhn's, Mohr's, Thoma's and Horn's) Dan drove his dad's tractor and Jerome came along. My dad fixed up a chopper box wagon into a really nice hayride wagon and it was gorgeous in the 80's. We started at Donna's then headed to Speak Easy and back to Donna's for the end of the horrible packer game. There we had a nice pot luck lunch and came back home. I sure love Sundays!!!!!!
