New Conference room at Main Street!

We have been doing a lot of upgrades to our office. We now have an official conference room! It is really nice!  We got the conference table and chairs on offer up from Armstrong fitness last week. Aaron and Richie worked hard on this and it turned out great! Here are a few pictures I took today. Notice our Main Street sign behind Richie on the wall too. It is super cool!

Winter snow

I love the prettiness of the snow but hate driving in it and I am so paranoid now after my accident last year. Or has it been 2 years? Time flies. It sure is coming down right now at our house. I feel so bad because I haven't been able to help get Tammy ready in the mornings because of this cursed weather and my fear of driving on ice. I would rather it be fluffy snow and no ice, then I wouldn't mind driving my subaru on it. I am almost positive school will be cancelled tomorrow. Our kids have been on mid winter break this week so what is a couple more days? We took a nice family walk with the dog tonight in the snow around our neighborhood. It was so fun and peaceful. I love watching the snow fall.  Curse Punksutawney for 6 more weeks of winter!! We got our passports done today and our pictures turned out horrible. Ha ha. It is like a horrible drivers license picture. They don't let you smile in the passport photo's and it was really hard for me not to smile. I always have a permanent smile on . :) Well, I hope this weather passes quickly. This photo was taken earlier this evening, after our walk. It is still coming down so I think we will be in for a surprise of more snow in the am.!! Be safe everyone and I am truly sorry Mom, Dad , and Tammy for not being able to help you! It is killing me!! AHHHHHHGHHHHGHH

Dentist

Kingston and Kylee had dental appointments this morning. We tried out Comfort dental  in Puyallup with Dr. Blacker. He is my good friends husband in my ward. The kids had an exam, x-rays and a cleaning. All for only $38!!! I don't think he charged us for the cleaning. He is super cool like that. Ha ha. He used to be Kingston's primary teacher. It was a good thing I went back there because they forgot to put the radiation apron on Kylee! She was getting the camera all situated and putting the xray in her mouth and I said, " aren't you going to put that apron on her? I do want grand kids some day" . She was like, " oh, thanks so much, I can't believe I forgot that!" Unbelievable!! I hope I didn't sound too rude, but come on! Do your flippin job man. Kingston is getting the start of one cavity on the lower right tooth.  He also gave us a referral to see an orthodontist. Braces look like they might be in Kingston's future. How much are braces anyway? He is sending us to orthodontic excellence in Puyallup by Dr. Ehlen's office. Kylee hated the x rays and was shoving the lady's hand out of her mouth and gagging like her mom and Grandpa. :) I was laughing so hard cause I do the same thing. Ha ha.  They couldn't even get the xrays on Kylee. It was hilarious.  Anyway, what a day. It is snowing right now too. I am ready for summer. Ha ha.

SNOW!!

I woke up at 5:30 am. It was dark out and the roads were wet. No snow on my drive out to Tammy's. Got Tam ready, we noticed it started to snow around 7:50 am. It wasn't coming down hard at that point. Around 8 am in started to stick! Needless to say I had a snowy drive home. The minute I turned onto OK highway, I noticed a snow plow hot on my heels. I wanted to drive in the fresh snow so I was glad I was ahead of him. :)  Made it home safely.  Got word that Church was cancelled. I was shocked. We didn't get nearly as much snow as Graham did.  I believe the Graham stake didn't cancel church. Tam says us city folk are pansies. Our kids are on mid winter break this week. They have Monday-Wednesday off.  We are getting our passports on Wednesday morning. Dentist appointments Tuesday morning for the kids. Anyway, enjoy the pretty snow! I don't like driving in it even if I grew up in this stuff. Ha ha !!

Snowing in Graham Washington

here cougar!

After getting Tam ready dark and early this morning, she followed me out when I was leaving to go see if the cougar was hungry for her.  She didn't succeed at death today.  There's always tomorrow Tam! By the way, it was 27 degrees out this morning. On my drive home, I saw a car slid on ice on military road and crashed into the side of the mountain. Glad it wasn't me.! On a side note, Daryle
singletary died this am. He  was in his 40's! He was famous for " I let her lie"

A great quote

I just read this awesome quote and wanted to remember it. It said:


Airports see more sincere kisses than wedding halls.
The walls of  hospitals  have heard more prayers than
the walls of churches.

I love this quote! It is so true!! I can't tell you how many prayers were said in Parkland Hospital in Dallas Texas almost 16 years ago!

Aaron and Richie

These guys are down at the office working hard! The office is going to be completed by today. Texturing the new wall and then they are painting the entire front area a new color. Lots of work to be done! I can't wait to see the end result.

cousin and friend time

Kingston sure loves having kids over to play whether it is cousins or friends. Brandon got here yesterday and ended up sleeping over at Kingston's request.  Now they are playing all day and had donuts for breakfast from happy donuts. YUMMY!!   Kingston's friend Aiden came over for a couple hours and played with the boys. I took a few pics. One from last night and today.

shut up John

I have been laughing the past couple days about one of our employees, Marissa. She is hilarious! She will be talking to one of our vendor's and if she doesn't like what they're saying, after she hangs up with them, she will say, " Shut up John" I think I am slap happy from lack of sleep or something cause I was laughing ridiculously at that. I guess you had to be there too to think it was funny. Ha ha.

Grandpa/Dad visit

It is always a fun time when Grandpa/Dad comes to our house to visit. He dropped off a huge cardboard box for the kids to play in. It is a box from a fridge. They love it! I always like seeing/hearing the "big dodge" . It always puts a smile on my face. I love that truck. Lots of memories there. Dad enjoyed looking at the Chevelle and thanks Dad for welding that piece for Aaron. It was perfect!  Grandpa walked to the bus stop with me and Ava to get the kids. The kids were sure surprised to see Grandpa there! Thanks for the fun afternoon Dad!

Target

I went to Target today to pick up a prescription. She rang it up and it was over $70! For one medication! I said, Why is it so expensive? It is usually $4 only. She said something about if it is run through insurance which we don't have, it made the price higher. So you all are getting ripped off on your prescriptions just to let you know. I took a pic of the screen cause I was shocked at the price! Speak up and don't get ripped off is my advice. It ended up being $15  for a 90 day supply instead of $70 for a 30 day supply!! Unreal.

sleepy heads

I have been going to get Tam ready every morning since Sunday. Lisa is out of commission. I wake up every morning around 4-4:30. I think I got there right around 4:45 this morning! I am home usually before anyone is even out of bed! It is fun talking to Tam every morning and singing " real love" and talking about how our legs are twins etc.. We have a good time! Anyway, I took these pictures of my babies this morning.

Office addition

Aaron is working on the conference room of our office. It is looking good! Also, Ava, our bulldog just loves me! She follows me around the whole office and lays by my feet. She is a doll.

4 miler

Well, it has been awhile since I have ran! I love running, everyone who knows me knows that. I got in a 4 miler today. The weather was perfect. Not too hot and not too cold. I was actually too hot wearing my sweatshirt.  I even saw a cute caterpillar.

Crazy Dogg

I was driving this afternoon and turned around to see Ava Lou snuggled in Kylee's car seat. She is crazed.  I was laughing so hard when I saw her doing this!

wanna free milkshake?

Ha ha, I had to post about us getting a free milkshake at Chik-fil-

a today! We were just sitting down eating and one of the workers stopped at our table and asked if we wanted a free milk shake! Ummm,
YES PLEASE!! Ha ha. Just our luck!

New office decor sign

There is a girl in our ward who makes wooden signs. She does a lot of nursery signs for babies rooms. She is called Lovable Lumber.  She has a shop on Etsy. We asked her a few months ago if she could make a sign for our business. It is pretty big and super nice! It turned out great! We are adding a conference room to the office and Aaron and JT have been working hard on framing today and they put up the drywall.. I didn't take any pictures but will take some when it is done probably.. Anyway, this new sign is going to look so good in the office.. We are also re painting the walls to winter sweet grey. Right now they look like poop brown Ha ha.  We had a fun lunch with our employees today. We bought everyone Domino's pizza. Richie has us hooked on Domino's now.
