Friday...Friday

Although the week doesn't feel like it moves very fast while you're living it...looking back it really does!

 

 Here's my new hair!

This is me this morning....just blow dried...not straightened....no makeup...no tan;)

 

 

Not much going on these days!

 

Tuesday we woke up to this.....

...GRRRRRRRR

Seriously, March 25th and this is what we get!

Luckily it didn't last long!

 

 

Wednesday was an early out for school which means extra kids!

I decided we were going to have a movie day and watch Frozen!

The kids loved the movie and everyone, for the most part, did great!

Cash thought he was pretty special because I let him skip nap to watch the movie.

He fell asleep for 15 minutes and managed to pee all over the blankets and almost on his friends!  Good lord!!!

Never a dull moment;)

 

Wednesday night I went with a group of girls out to eat.

We picked Chili's and it was awesome!

I was concerned about what to get now being on WW but the app is amazing and I had my meal picked out before I even went!

{there may have been one (or two) beers consumed that were not tracked;)}

 

 

Thursday was a full day of daycare then I had 23 spray tans last night (or I thought!)

I was doing 3 here at my house and 20 in Brooklyn.

I had one cancel here at my house then I took off for Brooklyn.

My favorite part of my whole day was driving....BY MYSELF...in the car for a half hour!

Anyway....I got there and only 10 girls showed up:(

Communication error between hosts!

 

I was home by 8, helped with bed time.....but if I was smart I would have drove around BY MYSELF and let Travis deal with bedtime;)

Man that gets harder and harder:(

 

The boys were finally in their own beds, Travis was watching basketball and I headed to bed at 9:30!

I was asleep by 10!

Felt good to wake up all refreshed (including my attitude) this morning!

 

So, here's to a great Friday!!

 

WW Check-In

I weighed in today and I've lost a total of 9 pounds!

I need to do better on the weekends but it's a work in progress:)

 

 

Cheers to the freak'n weekend!!!

 

 

 



Williamsburg Fire Department's 120th Reunion

Saturday night we attended the 120th reunion for the Williamsburg Fire Department!

 

It was a wonderful night full of great food, cold drinks, memorable stories, an awesome slide show and great, great company!

 

This is most of the past and present members!

 As you can see we had a great turn out!

All these members and their spouses came!!

{Everyone wearing red is a current member!}

 

Here's the past and present Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs!

Not sure if I've made it blog-official yet but Travis is the current Assistant Chief!

 

  Great times with great friends!!

 

Okay....now here comes my "support your local firemen" speech!!

 

These men and women truly put their lives on the line to fight fires!

I know I mention this all the time but they are all volunteer fire fighters!

 

My dad was on the fire department for 17 years!

I grew up with that so it's only normal for me to have a husband doing it!

 

Here's a small example of some of the things these guys/gals put themselves through....

 

....Friday Travis and I were both off for Pierce's preschool VIP day at school and program.

Travis was able to come to the classroom with us and he was in his seat waiting for the program to start.

The fire page went off and he took off for the fire!

I am okay with this....my 5 year old son...whose eyes followed his dad all the way out of the room and straight back to me to ask where he was going...doesn't quite understand why his dad had to leave:(

Pierce is so proud his daddy is a fire fighter so I explained what happened and he never questioned it the rest of the day!

I know Travis felt bad about missing his program but it's something he has to do!

We videotaped Pierce's parts and he watched them later that day!

 

I'm very proud of my husband and all firemen on the department!

I love being a member of this family and take great pride in helping with what I can!

 

That being said...... Please consider taking the time on April 11th and attending the annual fish fry...

I hear so many people say "Oh...I don't like fish!" but there are other ways of supporting this group!

They support you and your loved ones!!

 

Just think about it:)

 

 



Fun Filled Weekend

THURSDAY

 

My weekend started on Thursday because I took Friday off....hallelujah!

 

The weather was warm and we were outside!

My uncle, Bob, is a Williamsburg police officer.

He saw we were outside and decided to stop!

Pierce was in heaven:)

Gotta love small towns:)

Little miss Delaney was here and the sun was bright;)

{Nice plug for SprayChick too;)}

Thursday was also spring picture day at school.

Pierce has some pretty silly smiles so we were practicing before he left for school!

Can't wait to see which smile we get!

 

****************************************

FRIDAY

 

I was off because Pierce had VIP day at school.

Travis and I both got to spend an hour with him in his classroom then we went to the recreation center for the play they put on!

It was adorable!

 

We took the boys out for lunch after the play then this mama checked out the new nail place at the Outlet Mall....best pedicure I've had in a while!!

I popped in and out of a few stores....BY MYSELF...then headed to Iowa City for a much needed hair cut! 

Made a few stops in the area then headed home because I had spray tans lined up for Friday evening.

 

Travis wanted to grill and since we cannot eat meat on Friday's I stopped at Fareway and got tilapia fillets.  Not the same as a juicy burger but Travis did good!

 

Pierce had a big day and he curled up on the chair and put himself to sleep!

 

****************************************

SATURDAY

 

It was a pretty quiet day....Pierce had his last Rompn Raiders class and Cash and I did the dreaded fun Wal-Mart trip!

Saturday night we attended the Williamsburg Fire Department's 120 year reunion!

We had a blast......a separate post to come!

 

****************************************

SUNDAY

 

Every year on St. Patrick's Day my mom makes the traditional Irish meal...corned beef and cabbage!

Well half our family was sick on the actual day so we celebrated on Sunday!

 The food was delicious and everyone had a great time!

My mom has fun dress up wigs for the kids and they got my dad involved;)

Of course we are playing Phase 10!

 

Cash found this beauty:)

 

Cash and I picked up Frozen while at Wal-Mart so we had a family movie night Sunday night!

It was a cute movie!

 

****************************************

 

WW Check-In:

This weekend was full of yummy food and adult beverages...

...I didn't gain any weight...but I also didn't lose any...

Today is a new day and I'm back on track!!

 

 

 



Dyson, Bowling, Mediums and Green Beer

We finally got our Dyson!! 

Travis is very excited;)

 

And so was Pierce! 

He had to get his Dyson out also!

 

We made room for it in our front closet and Pierce found this coat

 He sat in it all day...no joke!

{He wasn't thrilled I was taking his picture!}

Love me some Wednesday nights...GNO!!

 

I have an audience while making lunch;)

Had to call for some help!

 

Pierce had his friend Luke over....they had so much fun!

 

****************************************

Friday we reserved the bowling alley for the night!

It was a good time had by all:)

 

 

 

****************************************

Saturday was an awesome day....

For Christmas Travis gave me an hour with the medium I've been to a few times with family!

First medium story here!

Second medium story here!

 

I was very excited but nervous because I was always there to support others...I was not there for myself!

Well it turned out to be the most amazing hour and 20 minutes of 2014:)

 

This reading wasn't so much connecting to those who have passed but more of a life/spiritual reading.

This women is truly amazing and has a gift!

Without going into detail I'll just say I need to stop worrying and LET GO & LET GOD!
 

 

Saturday night we had family movie night in the basement.

Cash was getting sleepy.....

 ...his brother was not;)

 

Sunday was Amy's birthday!

We had Heitman family supper Sunday night and everyone was into America's Funniest Home Videos.....

Hilarious!!

 

 ****************************************

I got my corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day!!

It was delicious.!!!!!

 Oh...and I may have also gotten my green beer:)



St. Patrick's Day

 

I hope you all have a great St. Patrick's Day! 

No big plans here....

....working all day then enjoying some corned beef and cabbage tonight!

Enjoy your day!

 



Words For Thought

Decided to change things up and share some quotes I've seen out there that have either made an impression on me or made my laugh my a$$ off;) 

Enjoy!!

 

Guilty of watching this season....biggest waste of time for that douche bag!

LOVE!

 

Okay maybe I wouldn't punch my kids in the face but I love how blunt this is!

Guilty:(

 

Bahahahahaha

Now that's deep!

 

True dat!

Yep!

 

I'm pretty sure everyone living in the Midwest "likes" this one;)

OH...MY....LORD!! 

I pinned this a while ago and revisit it quite frequently because it makes me LOL every single time!

Phteven...LMAO!!!!

Ahhhhh yes...and this is so, SO true:)

 

 

TGIF to all of you!

I have a very exciting weekend coming up! 

If all goes as planned I'll blog about it later;)

WW Check-In

It was a trying week because I was craving chocolate all week...this usually happens once a month;)

But I stuck to the plan and only had one tiny, tiny piece of the kids KitKat!

Friday is my weigh-in day and I was down another 2 pounds....that's 7 since the beginning of March!
