Tough to deal with!

So this last weekend, I got a call that I don't want to repeat EVER again. My mom was on the other end crying and I couldn't understand her. I first thought something happen to Ryan, because he has problems with his heart. I was wrong... When I finally had my mom calm down.. she said its on FIRE... we LOST everything. The camper caught on fire that they were living in until they were able to move into the basement of their remodeled home. Everything that was important to them and all their personal belongings were GONE. Luckily nobody was hurt and the firemen rescued the dogs. The sad thing is they LOST everything. Everything that you would have in a home; they had in their camper. We did find her wedding rings and I did find some other diamonds. The other part that bothered me was they made the front page paper in the local newspaper. It pretty much gave their address away, so on Sunday we had a lookie lous.....spelling ?. We are thankful that they have family and friend support and prayers. There have been some people that have helped my mom and Ryan out. The part that is really making my mom sad is she lost all of the Christmas presents and some she said are not replaceable. I keep telling her that I am glad you two are still here with us. So now its time to rebuild and move on. We did get them in the basement, so they are living in the basement. Its not done, but its livable for now. I guess you never take anything for granted. I have never been this close to a person in a fire and I hope I won't experience it again. Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Last weekend to shop for Christmas. I know I will be one of those last minute shoppers. Take care

BURR!!

Burrr! Its cold outside. Officially winter is here and its going to be here for a long time. We have a lot of snow and its cold outside. I wish the wind would go away. Plus, its so cold outside that my furnance doesn't stop running really. Oh the joys of winter. I guess those are not joys! :) I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Leaving on a good note its FRIDAY tomorrow! Yahoo..... Until next time..

Girls weekend!

This last weekend I went to the cities with a friend. We went shopping in albertville- the outlet stores. Then we went to the Mall of America to do some more shopping. Then Sunday we went to a play The Heights. It was pretty good. At times, you couldn't understand it because the music was louder then the person singing. Then there spanish speaking parts, which I didn't understand. Overall, it was a fun getaway weekend, which I haven't done before. The kids stayed with daddy on Friday and then Saturday my mom came and took care of them until Sunday night. Dan went to Huron to help Ryan with the house. I hope everyone is having a great day :) Try to stay warm, I think we are in for it for a blizzard.

Hunt for Zhu-Zhu pets!

Target, Wal-mart, Toys R us are the stores that sells these. You can find them online if you want to play A LOT of money for them. You can buy them from 8-10 dollars at the stores above, but amazon and other places are selling one hamster for 40 all the way up to 150.00. Which is sad, because there are a lot of kids that want these for Christmas from Santa or from others. Tyler wants them from Santa....I wish I could find at least one hamster and the car that is an accessory. They have many accessories that go with the hamsters. Its a cute toy and not expensive. There is a lot of things to buy to go with the hamsters. FUN! Well, let me know if anybody finds them. Have a great day.
