Its FRIDAY!!!!

Its Friday and its a 3 day weekend! Yay!!! Well, its another busy weekend for us. Tonight Dan gets home tonight from Aberdeen. Tyler and I were home by ourselves last night. We had a pretty good night for the most part. We went to Wal-Mart and took back our cheap camera. I couldn't take it anymore, it was not worth the money. Today, Tyler and I cleaned house and did our last load of laundry. Tyler is clingy today and not sure why. My dad (Grandpa Bob) is coming to see us. He is going to stay with us for the night and then we are off tomorrow morning to see my mom. We are going to the State Fair :) Tyler will sure enjoy it. He enjoys riding on the rides. We will then come back Monday sometime. Till then I hope everybody has a great weekend :)

Well Baby Check-up

Today, Tyler had his 2yr check-up. We were behind in shots, so he had to get two shots in the leg. He did wonderful! He is a tough boy. The doctor wanted to wait till he was over 2, but I needed to get him in and get a copy of his shot record for daycare. I knew he was behind, so I thought it would be best to get him in when they could. He is doing very well. His vocabulary is wonderful. He is showing some signs of potty training. The doctor said not to force him. He has went on the potty a couple of times before, but that was the end to that. His head measures in the 95%, which is big, but still normal. His weight and height are between the 25-50%. I knew he was going to be short, but his mom isn't the tallest person. His weight is low, but still normal. After shots he got to pick out a book and then the nurse brought him a sticker. Guess what was on the sticker Mater from CARS! She didn't even know that was his favorite. He loved his sticker!! He did wonderful with his shots. He didn't cry much at all. The part he didn't like was being held down. I did talk to the doctor about allergies. I have suffer from allergies and at his age I had them bad. When Tyler was about 1 he had an allergic reaction to laundry softener. I know you are not suppose to use this, but Dan thought it would git rid of the smell of spit up. We took him in and he had an allergic reaction to it. I have seen some other signs that he might have allergies. He breaks out in a rash on his face and neck through out the month. I can't figure out what is causing it. I have to keep an eye on this and take him in, so they can look at his rash. Other than that he is doing extremely well. Tyler is sure growing fast!!


I took this picture this morning when he was watching Cars in Mommy and Daddy's bed

Our New Collection

Well, We went to Wal-mart last night and decided to pick up a cheap camera. We got one of those 50.00 dollar ones. It is defiantly not worth that much, but we needed something to get us by. After using it a little, I am about ready to take it back. I took a picture of our collection of washers and a dryer that is being stored on our deck for the time being. Sorry about the pictures not being that great. I also took a picture of our NEW washer and dryer, which is still working BEAUTIFUL.


Our Collection!!!


Our brand NEW ones!!

Better Today!!

Today is going good. Our NEW washer and dryer works wonderful. I can finally get some laundry done. I would take a picture, but I don't have a camera. Ours doesn't work or its a piece of crap. I have been wanting to take some pictures of Tyler because he has been goofy lately, but again no camera. Hopefully we will be getting one soon. I hope everybody has a great day :)

Bad Luck!!!

Well, Dan and I are having some BAD LUCK!!! The washer that my mom gave us isn't working right. It doesn't spin. Dan called the local person to see what they think is wrong with it. Well, its some gage or something else. Well, its going to cost us around 100.00 at least that doesn't include service charge. So I guess we are going to get a NEW washer. My mom was only trying to help us save money. Thanks Mom!! Our brand new dryer works great!! Dan tried to mow Sunday night, but that didn't go so well, he broke down in the middle of mowing, so he tried last night and it worked fine. Dan has bad luck with mowers. He goes through them like candy! Well, I hope everybody has a wonderful day in this rainy/gloomy day!!

Forgot something!!!!

I forgot to add something to our weekend. On Saturday I decided I needed a new look. I got a hair cut. I ended up cutting off 6 inches :( It was hard for me, but I will get use to it. I sometimes wonder why did I do that. Oh well it will go back! Well, have a great day!!!

Back home!!

Well, another busy weekend over. We made it back home yesterday afternoon. Thursday and Friday we spent the days at the Minnesota State Fair. WOW! is that fair big. We did a lot of walking. It rained most of the time, but it was still fun. I was ready to come home. Dan's cows both of them placed 4th in their class out of 12, so that was good. Friday afternoon we headed back home. We stopped at his parents place to drop off his mom and grandma and then we headed to Brookings. That was the longest drive ever. Then on Saturday we headed to my mom's to help her boyfriend shingle a shed. We also had to pick up our dog Sammy. She was sure happy to see us. Then we ended up staying the night and came home Sunday afternoon. We then stopped at home and dropped some things off then headed to Lowe's to get a new dryer. We then spent most of the night taking the old out and putting the new in. We also got a different washer, because ours were going out. My mom had one from her other place, so at least we saved money there. That is all for now. Some how I caught a cold or something that is kicking my butt! I haven't been sick for a long time, so I guess it was due. Well, I hope everybody has a wonderful week. I don't have pictures from the weekend, but when I get some I will share. It may be a bit.

Adventure to Laundry Mat

My Day was filled with a dryer taking a dump. I knew it was only going to be a matter of time that our dryer went out. I only had 2 loads to dry. It went out when my one load was almost dry. This was Tyler's first adventure to the laundry mat. I brought things to keep him occupied. There was a dog in there, so he thought that was cool. There was a sign that said NO Pets allowed. So I captured some pictures of Tyler at the laundry mat. As most people know laundry mats aren't the cleanest. We are off to the Minnesota State Fair to watch Dan's sister and her friend show our calves. We leave tonight for Dan's parents place and then tomorrow morning to go to the fair. Tyler is going with us, so it could be interesting. We will be back home Friday night. I will fill you in and share pictures. Until then Have a great week and weekend :)



Pointing to the Dog :)


Watching Cars of course

CARS

I don't know what is with Tyler, but he sure loves his Cars the Disney movie. He watches that movie everyday. He likes the first 30 minutes of it. He has to watch right when he gets up. I also don't know what is with his attitude. I know its probably the terrible 2's, but it making me frustrated. He doesn't listen and then when you spank his bottom he still doesn't listen. I hate to spank, but I don't know what else to do. I feel like all I am doing is yelling :( If anybody has any suggestions please let me know. Today, we didn't do much. I am trying to do laundry, but our dryer is going out, so it takes twice as long and I can't run it when Tyler is sleeping because it squeaks really loud. Tonight, we are off to meet my mom and Ryan to give them Sammy our dog for the week until Sat. We are off to the Minnesota State Fair tomorrow night. We are going to stay at Dan's parents place and then we will leave Thursday morning. Dan's sister and friend are showing Dan's calves that they won with at their county fair. Dan is excited. I am excited for him. I just hope Tyler cooperates with me. Well, have a great night.

Quick Post

I hope everybody had a great weekend. We sure did. Friday night we were off to Dan's Parents place for their surprise 25th anniversary party that we were putting on. We were running late, but it all worked out. They were definitely surprised. Saturday afternoon we headed home. Before we went home we stopped at Dan's aunt and Uncles in Hartford to pick up a basketball hoop for Tyler. When then were off to home bound. We were definitely ready to be home. Sunday came and we slept in and cleaned house. It was much over due for cleaning. Then my friend Ashley and her little boy Hunter came to visit us. It was nice to have some visitors. We always like it when people come and see us for once. Tyler had a fun time playing with Hunter. Hunter just turned 1, so he is younger. Tyler had a hard time sharing, but got use to it. Then its Monday, it was a lazy day for Tyler and I. We slept in and then just took it easy. We went for a walk in the muggy weather :( Yuck! Well, that is all for now. I hope everybody has a great week. Its a busy one for us (that's not surprising).

End Result!!!!

Tyler and I painted again this morning... He wasn't in the best mood today because he got early..and went to bed late last night :( Here is the end result of Tyler's card... with the help of daddy and mommy. I hope everybody has a great weekend!!

Tyler's Painting Creation

Today, Tyler and I painted. Let me tell you that it was interesting. We are making an anniversary card for Grandpa and Grandma (Dan's parents) there 25th anniversary is coming up. Well, I thought it would be neat if Tyler made a card for them. He did very good painting with hands and feet. It was a mess, but he had FUN! Its not done yet. We got the painting done, so now its finishing up with the rest. I have included some pictures of his creation. I will make sure I take a picture of the end result.

Have a great day/night!!

Tuesday/Parker Fair

I am a little late on this. Tuesday night we went to Parker with Dan's aunt's family. We have never been there before. They asked us last year, but we couldn't make it. We made it this year and it was a neat fair. They have a lot to offer. Tyler sure enjoys riding rides this year. Last year he hated them, but this year we can't keep him off of them. We got home really late that night, so the next day was interesting for us. I should say for Tyler... Lately he has been getting worse. Terrible 2's. I am to the point where I just want to stay home and not go anywhere he is that bad. Its discouraging and frustrating! I took some pictures of Tyler riding some rides, until my camera died!:( Well, I hope everybody is having a great hot/humid week.


Weeeeeeeee!! Tyler says

Another Busy weekend over

Well, this was a busy weekend. Tyler had a great time at the Sioux Falls fair during the little concert. He danced away! Then we went through the little animals. We didn't stay long because I had Sammy in the car... It was a HOT one! After the fair we were off to see my grandma. We had a fun seeing visiting her. Tyler sure has fun getting into things. She has a fish, so he stood by the fish most of them time. He loves fish! Then we were off to Worthington for their county fair, since dan's sister has cattle there. I was ready to go home by Friday. It was hot and being without air, made me crabby. Tyler doesn't take heat very well either. Friday was a laid back day we looked around and just sat by the cattle. We ran into Dan's cousin and Aunt Friday night, so that was nice to see them. This brings us to the big day Saturday. Friday night we didn't get much sleep because a storm went through and it had high winds with it. I seriously thought we were going to tip over in the camper. Saturday was a HOT...HOT Day!! I got a heat headache and was not in a good mood. Tyler thankfully went with Dan's cousin and her kids for most of the day. He took a good nap and was in air conditioning. Sadie and her friend Heather showed cattle and they did well. There dan's cattle. With the two little prospect steer division Heather took overall grand champion and Sadie took reserve champion, so we are off to the Minnesota State Fair. I happy very happy for them. Dan worked his butt off to get here and now his dream has came true. The best part is that the calf's are home grown we didn't pay a lot for them like other people do. That night we walked around and Tyler rode some rides. He is sure growing up. He loved the rides unlike last year. He even rode a real horse, he loved it. Lately he has been loving horses, which dan calls him a trader, because he doesn't want anything to do with cows, its all about horses.
Sunday Tyler and I left in the morning to go to my moms. I had dentist appointment Monday. (Root canal) :( Tyler was not the best boy on sunday. He was being naughty.. He wasn't listening and doing everything that I told him not too. My mom and I went to a bridal shower for my cousin, so it was embarrassing at times with him. I think terrible 2's have set in. Then my mom and I spent some time together, which I always look forward too. Monday was my ugly dentist appt. I had a root canal done, which wasn't too bad until I started feeling some of it towards the end. My metabolism soaks up the Novocain/shot they give you fast. Never fails.... I wish my metabolism would soak up my fat fast, so then I wouldn't have a problem :) They did give me another shot, which was stronger, but that didn't stick with me that long either, but thankfully it was done. Today... My tooth doesn't feel that great, it hurts:( they told me that it would be sore for a couple days and then for 2 weeks it would hurt if I put pressure on it even if its my finger. :( I have some bad luck.... Well, today is just a relaxing day. I hope everybody has a great week.

Were Back

We made it back safe and sound. We got back late Sunday night. Our trip was fun. We enjoyed seeing my dad. Our days were filled with lots. We went to Mt. Rushmore, Hill City, Putz and glo, Story book land, Reptile Guarden, go cart racing, and dinasaur park. Tyler made a new friend named Maddy, my dad's roomates daughter. He had fun with her. Both days we were there, Tyler didn't get much of naps. We had fun though!!

Monday was filled with unpacking and getting things back to normal (what is that). Tuesday I was sick with a migraine/flu. Wednesday I felt better and was in the baking mood, surprising because I don't like to cook. I made some brownie's, Banana bread, and had supper ready Chicken fried rice. I was proud of myself!! Tonight was filled with doing laundry and packing. Tomorrow we are headed to Worthington, MN for their county fair. Dan's sister is in 4-H, so she shows cattle and has other things there. Before we go to Worthington, we are stopping by the Sioux Falls fair to meet my friend and her son. She has her own daycare and is taking them to the Phil Baker show, so Tyler and I are going to join her. Then we are going to go see my grandma on my dad's side. Then later that evening we will head to see Daddy and cows (as Tyler would say). Tyler and I will head to my mom's on early sunday afternoon because I have to go to the dentist on Monday :(... I don't like dentists. Just another busy weekend. Here are some pictures from our trip. I hope everybody has a great weekend!!!

Heading to Rapid

Just a quick post. I am suppose to be getting things ready, but that doesn't sound much fun. We are getting ready for our trip to Rapid City. It will be interesting with Tyler on how well he does in the car for that long. We do have to stop in Huron to drop off Sammy (our dog), so he can run for awhile. We will be seeing lots of bikes. Its first weekend of sturgis rally. We have lots of things planned to go see. I hope everybody has a great weekend!!! I will post when I get back and share some pictures.
