My little turkey!

well actually I guess she's an indian, thanks to art class at school. We got her first ever report card cause 4k doesn't really count especially the terrible year we all had. So anyway her report card was awesome, top score was for coloring(a 4 which is never given) and a couple weeks ago she won the coloring contest at school for the second year in a row. I guess its a pretty big deal and she gets a nice prize.

So its been awhile since I've been on here, I was busy getting avon ready for the annual craft show at the legion. I never plan on selling much just getting my name out and I sold more than last year and gave lots of books away, so far 2 people have called so I guess it worked.

Daryn's still been busy hunting and with no luck. Its gotten colder now and we saw the first snow on sunday, so now he has a good cold from being out in it so much.

Sunday was a nice lazy day at home, we never left the house except for Daryn to hunt a little in the morning. Packers even had the day off but the bears and vikings played and the bears kicked butt!!! So I think the bears and packers are tied for first right now.

Please retire Brett, when I see you come on the field its like oh no not him again, sickening.

I finally made a card yesterday, I took off since Lainey was off and Daryn took off to go hunting. The temp was in the 60's so we even got some christmas lights hung up.

This card was embossed with a folder then rubbed over with white pigment ink, then sprayed with shimmer mist mixed with alcohol. Its hard to see the sparkle but it makes the snowflakes very pretty. I don't make my own christmas cards and probably never will but I do use a few for gifts and things.

Daryn's been doing ALOT of hunting with no luck so he's off thursday and friday again. This past weekend I actually went to sparta with my sister to a craft show and that was lots of fun except for the old guy stalking me. Mom watched all the kids and was to tired to go out with us for supper at Apple Valley, first time we've been there since May. Chris was home for Diane's bday party, we were home by 7:30, I kinda missed their good food.

Sunday was church for me and Lainey, then we stopped to see grandma busy making her crafts for this sat craft show we're doing at the legion. Then we came home and just hung out and tried to fix christmas lights, lots of ours are half burnt out this year. We're throwing alot away and getting rid of the fake tree we never use!!!!

Rockin Mom

I have a rockin mom and I love my mom! Gosh was this the perfect thing to get when I got home from work sunday. Another 4 year old died at work and this one from asthma. I have never heard anyone scream as bad as his grandma did.

So Lainey and Daryn were home all day and knew I had a bad day so she gave me this when I got home even in an envelope. I don't even know where she found a guitar sticker but how neat!!! This is probably my most favorite project from her and will be kept a long time!

Then we went trick or treating and we started at Mel and Jason's, as we're getting out of the car her tooth came out. #2 so she was a bloody fairy for awhile but very excited that now the tooth fairy was also coming.
It was a fun night and even decent weather this year, her pumpkin was almost full and thats just from friends and family. Uncle Dallas even called and wanted us to stop at his apartment for the first time ever.
That night when we went to bed Lainey asked me if I had really cried at work and we talked about it and as she's rubbing me on the arm she said "I promise that will never happen to me and Ruby", I have the sweetest child EVER!!!!!

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.
