I think it is a dumb holiday. I don't like people playing tricks on me and I am not creative at all so I never play tricks on others. But last year my friend <a href="http://demilledigest.blogspot.com/2009/04/i-love-this-age.html">Jenn</a> did the cutest dinner for her kids and I remembered it ALL year long!! So I decided to do the same thing for my kids this year, hope you don't mind that I am a copycat Jenn!! :) It was really funny. My kids didn't know what to think at all. Sammy was mad at first but then decided it was pretty fun.

But I found out when we almost had to buy Andrew's coat that we accidentally left there yesterday! We were shirt shopping for picture day and set his coat on top of the rack while we were looking at shirts. We got busy and tired and forgot it when we left. We went back today, after we remember where we had left it. I asked at Customer Service and they didn't have it. Asked at the dressing rooms and they thought they'd seen it but couldn't find it. So we went back to the rack where I knew I had set it down, but it wasn't there either. As I was glancing around I was like haha, there it is. Someone must have picked it up and put it on a hanger and just hung it up. So I went over to grab it, only to find out it had a $10 price tag on it!!! Then I was confused and thought maybe it wasn't really his, his grandpa had just bought this coat for him a week ago and I didn't remember all the EXACT details of it. Andrew told me it was his, but I said no, see it has a price tag on it. We walked around for a while feeling bummed. He LOVED this coat. Finally, I thought well that other one looks a lot like it and it's only $10 for a nice heavy wool lined coat, maybe I will just buy it anyway so he won't feel so bad and Grandpa won't be mad that we lost it. So I convinced him to go back and try it on. Then the more we looked Andrew was telling me all these little things about it that he couldn't have known if it wasn't his and even told me there were little rocks in the bottom of the pocket!! lol Low and behold the pockets had a bunch of sandy dirt at the bottom. I took it back to customer service and told them the story, showed them the dirt, told them it OBVIOUSLY isn't a brand new coat. The guy was pretty flustered and didn't know what to do so he called another lady over. She looked at the brand name on it and said "we don't even sell this brand" then tore the tag off and said "here you go!" What a joke!!! </div><br /><br /><div align="center">SO BUYER BEWARE!!! Next time you shop at Wal-mart your "clearance" items may just be something that someone left there and Wal-mart just stuck a price tag on to try and sell it!!!</div></div>Stephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14311104469678322377noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316579762199509483.post-70724867472903082932010-03-20T20:10:00.003-06:002010-03-20T20:13:44.770-06:00Horse Fun<div align="center">This is Patches, the family horse that we bought for Christmas.

He got back to his room around 10 pm. He had a HORRIBLE night. The main gallstone was HUGE and they had to cut the incision bigger just to get it out. He had so much pain all night that he couldn't stand it. The wound started bleeding a lot and the nurse ended up calling the docs in at 3 am. Finally around 8 they got him on some different meds and we got him another blessing and he felt a lot better after that. Tonight his stomach is really distended and he is in a lot of pain again. They have to pump gas in when they do the surgery and there is no way to expel it. He is going to have a rough go for a few days but they are hoping to release him on Friday. Will post a nasty pic when I get home to my computer. Thanks for the prayers and well wishes and all the wonderful help. </div>Stephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14311104469678322377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316579762199509483.post-12639896334718284632010-02-15T22:51:00.002-07:002010-02-15T23:09:38.210-07:00Dave in the Hosital<div align="center">So this is just an informational post. And it is going to be an abbreviated version cuz I don't want to type it all. Dave and I headed to the VA thurs afternoon. On the way he was having really bad "heartburn" type pains that tuned out to be <a href="http://www.cst.cmich.edu/USERS/DIETR1RV/zoogems/gallstones.html">gallstones</a> (thanks to Kurt diagnosing it for us before we went to the ER, we were able to tell them what to look for). Long story short they sent us on our way and he went to his VA appt. (that was supposed to be for his back) on Friday morning. He has been in the hospital ever since. He ended up with gallstone <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallstone_pancreatitis">pancreaitis</a> and we had to wait for that to go away before they can do surgery and take out his gallbladder. As far as we know now the surgery will be tomorrow evening sometime and he will be released sometime a day or two after that. Thanks to mom, Tony, and Ryan for taking care of the kids that were planning on us only be one until Sat. We really appreciate all the help! </div>Stephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14311104469678322377noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316579762199509483.post-75732335941096870022010-01-03T20:01:00.003-07:002010-01-03T20:02:48.966-07:00Lost Tooth<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ci1VmzW6JqU/S0FaUO5G1LI/AAAAAAAABBg/MBFFcJzhtT8/s1600-h/Andrew.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422714729972290738" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ci1VmzW6JqU/S0FaUO5G1LI/AAAAAAAABBg/MBFFcJzhtT8/s320/Andrew.jpg" /></a><br /><div align="center">Andrew is 6 1/2 and in the first grade.

I know, I know...I must be insane! Well not exactly. Dave and I have known each other for 14 years and have been wonderful friends that entire time. We've spent the last couple of months just getting to know and love each other all over and we are SO excited to let everyone know that we will be joining our lives and families together. We got engaged Friday night, yes, he even got down on his knee and proposed. He is SO good to me and makes me happier than I have ever been in my life. I love him so much! More pictures and info to come when I'm not SO tired!! </div>Stephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14311104469678322377noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316579762199509483.post-21186339067300169122009-11-01T19:55:00.004-07:002009-11-01T20:19:53.070-07:00Red Cliffs<div align="center">We had so much fun at Red Cliffs there were so many rocks to climb over and under and through.....</div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Ci1VmzW6JqU/Su5MzVSDtqI/AAAAAAAABA0/WUt49QfdZOc/s1600-h/IMG_0381.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399337448033728162" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Ci1VmzW6JqU/Su5MzVSDtqI/AAAAAAAABA0/WUt49QfdZOc/s320/IMG_0381.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">We also had a fun day at Red Cliffs just hiking and playing. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Ci1VmzW6JqU/Su5LtojK7wI/AAAAAAAABAs/cXNnR_onN20/s1600-h/IMG_0378.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399336250614935298" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Ci1VmzW6JqU/Su5LtojK7wI/AAAAAAAABAs/cXNnR_onN20/s320/IMG_0378.JPG" /></a> </div><br /><div align="center">We carved pumpkins.....<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ci1VmzW6JqU/Su5LtfNQBpI/AAAAAAAABAk/dokpcPqDc4M/s1600-h/IMG_0390.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399336248107075218" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ci1VmzW6JqU/Su5LtfNQBpI/AAAAAAAABAk/dokpcPqDc4M/s320/IMG_0390.JPG" /></a><br />This was a VERY cool tree we found at Red Cliffs<br /><br /></div><div align="center"><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ci1VmzW6JqU/Su5LtKreOUI/AAAAAAAABAc/-gVjkc_A2zM/s1600-h/IMG_0364.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399336242596690242" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ci1VmzW6JqU/Su5LtKreOUI/AAAAAAAABAc/-gVjkc_A2zM/s320/IMG_0364.JPG" /></a><br /><div><div><div> </div></div></div></div></div>Stephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14311104469678322377noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316579762199509483.post-22893283207295223432009-11-01T19:23:00.002-07:002009-11-01T19:53:50.022-07:00Grand Canyon!!<div align="center">I have NEVER been to the Grand Canyon, until now!!
