No Internet for a week!!

I will not be able to check or post for a hole week because we are moving today and we won't have Internet for a week. Bummer, I'm going to have withdrawals. LOL. We're going to pick up the moving truck at 11:30 and it is 88 miles away one way. What fun. We are going to pack up the truck tonight with everything and tomorrow about 12:00/1:00 we will be on our way to our new house. I really hope everything fits into this moving truck because if it doesn't we'll have to come back up and pick another load up on Saturday. It sucks having so much crap. We'll this is it I have to tare down my computer and get more packing done.

I wanted to give you some info about the place we are leaving. It really is a great place, check it out. It called Conserve School. I'm sorry to say we are leaving but it is just time for us to part and go back to family and friends. We will truly miss living up north but I'm very excited to be close to Wal-mark and eat place too. LOL We will still be going up north to go hiking, fishing, camping, and snowmobiling but it will take us 4 hours instead of no hours.

I will post more after we are all done moving and settled in. Have a good Memorial Day Weekend

Bond Falls, MI

Today is my last Wednesday being a stay at home mommy. So I wanted to do something special with Cameran. It was nice out this morning so Cam and I went to Bond Falls, MI. We went and saw the falls and throw rocks into the water. Cam loves throwing rocks. We also went to the top of the falls and played around there too, throwing more rocks.


I wanted to just spend a nice morning with my little boy. It was a great day together. I took tons of pictures and I'm so happy. I have a slide show but I'm not able to take the time to get it working so I'll post it later.

I love you Cameran.

Sue has tagged me for a Restaurant Meme. To be truly honest where we live there really aren't Restaurants. It's mostly bar food. We don't have Applebees, or even a McDonald's. If we wanted to go to an Applebee's we would have to travel 2 hours south to eat. And for a McDonald's that is about 45 min. away. So this one will be very difficult of me to do. I'm only going to be able to put down one place that we enjoy going to eat becuase it's really the only place we go. We have a very exciting life of going out. LOL

Thinking to much....

Today was filled with more packing and loading up Don's truck so we can head down to Pewaukee on Friday after Don is done working with yet another load. The load consists of kitchen stuff and my work drawings. The trailer is just packed with bikes, the grill, chairs and just odds and ends stuff. We will also be taking down my car to stay at our new house. We're going to load that up with close and plates. It'll be nice to get all the hard packing stuff out of the way.

I've been thinking a lot about how I'm going to feel when I'll be working all day and Cam will be at daycare all day. When I get home from work I'll only have 2 hours to play with him and then I'll need to get him ready for bed. Did we make the right decision to move? I'm so scared that we are making the wrong decision. I feel so bad that I've complained about Cam some days when we're not having a good day. Now I feel like I'm going to miss out on watching Cam grow up. I've been so lucky that I've been able to spend 2 1/2 years watching Cam grow up, but I don't know if I spent that time with Cam to the fullest. How do the mom do it that went back to work after 6 weeks of having there babies. I'm feeling very over whelmed about what we are doing right now. Were we live is a very beautiful place and I'm able to stay home with Cam, but were we are moving to we'll be close to family especially my mom. Were we live and were we are moving too are so different that you can't even compare them. I know there's not turning back now but I just really hope that everything will work out. To think I won't be able to see my little boy when ever I want to or take tons of pictures just because he's my little boy. :(

On a lighter note, today Cam had a fun day playing outside and helping me pack. The weather up here is very crazy, on Monday it was 85 degrees and today it was 45 degrees. Cam loves riding on his trek and his 4 wheeler. Here are a couple of pictures of him. When ever his trying to concentrate he always has his tong out. LOL.




Tonight it was daddy's turn to give Cam a bath and Daddy called me into the bathroom and I walked in on Cam and Daddy throwing water all over. It was pretty funny.





Cam always has fun with daddy even thou it might be pretty messy.





see all that water!! LOL You should have see all the water on the floor and how wet daddy was.

New House

On Friday the 11th at 8:15 we had to be at our new house to do a walk throw(to make sure there weren't big holes in the carpet, things like that) before we went to the bank to sign all the papers and get our keys for our NEW house. We had to take Cam with us but while we were at the bank signing the papers he was pretty good. When we were done at the bank we went straight to our new house and dropped off our badly loaded trailer into the garage. On our drive down we couldn't go over 65 miles an hour. The trailer was loaded really bad and if we went faster then 65 it would start swaying side to side. We really didn't want to lose all our stuff so we had to drive slower then normal. It was a long 4 hour drive.

After we dropped the trailer we when straight to Wal-mart to get cleaning supplies and some food. It only took us 45 min. to drive and do the shopping. This is hug for us, because when we go to Wal-mart were we live now it's a min. of a 3 hour trip. Two hours to drive there and back and then that only give you one hour of shopping time, which isn't much time.

The first things we did when we got back to our new house after shopping was we made lunch, peanut butter and jelly and chips on our new patio. It was a great day.

On Friday all we did was clean, clean, clean. We got the kitchen and one bathroom done. Doesn't sound like much but Cam was with us all day and we really didn't get to start cleaning until 11:30 and we only cleaned until about 5. The kitchen always takes so long. I think it took me 1 hour to just clean the refrigerator.

Cameran found his bedroom window very fun. He decided to stand on the sill and jump off it

Getting ready to jump off the sill

Look mommy I can jump of the window sill. Lets do it again :)

On Saturday my mom watched Cam for us so Don and I went to the house at 7:00 am and we started painting right away. We only painted the kitchen and the living room. We painted from 7 till 5:30. It was a long day. Don is all the rolling and I did the cutting in. Here are some pictures of before and after. It's always hard to pick out paint colors, but I do like this color, thank god.

very, very white walls before we painted.

After we painted.


More white walls.


All done painting the living room and kitchen finally.


Don's mom and Grandma came over to help us clean too. With Don's mom having cancer she still wanted to help us clean. I couldn't believe how much she did. They got to our house at about 10 and stayed till 4:30. They cleaned all the window and cleaned most of the shades. Don's mom and grandma looked so tired when they left. I am so thankful for all the work they did. It helped us so much. I wouldn't like if they only came over and visited with us.

Grandma cleaning windows.

on our patio. Again we had a beautiful day.


Thanks again Mom and Grandma for helping clean and my mom for taking care of Cam. Love you all very much.

7 Facts Meme

I was tagged by Janeen to tell you 7 facts about myself.

Here are the rules: Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. You need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

1. We have a dog named Senta and she used to be our little girl, but since Cam came along Senta is second now and sometimes I would love to give her to my parents. She makes me so mad sometimes. She follows me around more the Cam does. I still love her thou.
2. I've never been tagged before. Thanks Janeen.
3. I went to Waukesha Technical Collage. In high school my boyfriend’s parents would always say, you need to go to a 4 year collage, you’ll never get anywhere if you go to tech. collage. 11 years later I am a stay at home mom and I’m also work from home for the company that I worked for when we lived in Waukesha. I went to school for AutoCAD and I’m still doing AutoCAD from home. I want to say ha I paid only a ¼ of what he paid and I was done with school in ½ the time. I’m very blessed that I’m able to work from home.
4. Don and I build our cottage with out taking any loans and we pretty much built it ourselves. My Uncle and cousin helped us with building the shell of the building. My Uncle is a builder and Don and I didn’t know anything about knowing what high windows and doors needed to be. He did a great job. Couldn’t have done it by ourselves. We also designed it by our self’s. When we had money we would by cupboards, sinks, flooring and the well would get put in. It has only taken us 3 ½ years to build it. We only have to put trim in yet thank goodness.
5. I am a Tom boy. I love hunting, fishing, ice fishing, camping, snowmobiling, biking and hiking. I’ve been deer hunting since I’ve been 16 years old. I got Don into hunting. I bought Don a bow for his birthday one year. I’m my father’s son.
6. I’m an only child. I loved it until I had Cameran. I realized that when my parents pass away I won’t have anyone. I do have lots of cousins but it is not the same as bothers and sisters. That’s why I want to have another child. I want Cameran to have bother or sister.
7. I’ve went Elk hunting in Colorado in Sep. 2003 with my dad, uncle, and Don. We didn’t get anything but it was a great experience. I would like to go again.
