Canopy Bed-Finally

We decided to move Bre up to a twin size bed instead of a toddler bed. Well we knew in order to take "Dora bed" away the replacement had to be special. By the excitement Bre showed when she saw her new princess bed I think we succeeded. She looks so tiny and sweet in it. BTW I always wanted a canopy bed when I was a little girl, three decades later I finally have one!

Dylan's Car

We Bought A New Car.....

for DYLAN!!!!!!!!!
There is no way he is old enough to drive yet, is there?
He will be 16 this July and we wanted him to go ahead and get his vehicle so he can get used to it and be ready to take the driver's test using his own car.
When we started out he didn't even know if he wanted a car or a truck. After looking at a few he 'knew' this one was the one. So he is now the proud owner of a 1999 Monte Carlo. It is all black with a sun roof and black leather interior. It also only has 65,000 miles on it.
I know I would have been a happy 15 year old if someone would have handed me one way back when!

Back and sick

We had a blast at the concert!
It was the second time we had seen Papa Roach and he put on an even better show than the last time. And that is saying a lot cause he ROCKS!
Buckcherry was so so IMO. The instruments drowned out the singer's voice too much it seemed.
As far as Avenged Sevenfold goes, I have never seen anything like them before. They have a new fan in me that is for sure. Not that they needed me cause they have a very loyal fan base as I seen last night. And their fans are crazy wild.
By time we left the concert my ears felt like they were bleeding. Never before have I been to a concert that done that to me. Dylan just told me welcome to an Avenged Sevenfold concert, LOL.
Today Dylan and I both are sick. I think it is a combination of standing out in the cold and light freezing rain waiting for the doors to open, screaming till our throats hurt, unbelievable loud music, and all the cig. smoke. A visit to the doctor tomorrow is on the agenda. But before you ask....Yes it WAS worth it!

Rock Out Time

As Bre would call it....it is rock out time! Or as I would call it...time to feel young again.

We are leaving tomorrow morning to head up to St. Charles, Missouri to see Avenged Sevenfold, Buckcherry, Papa Roach, and Saving Abel in concert.

I am one proud momma that our 15 year old will go to concerts with us and actually thinks it is cool that we like the same music instead of being embarrassed to be seen with us. Of course Marcus thinks it is cool to be only 10 and getting to see all these awesome bands.

Bre helping With Yard Clean-Up

small update

Sorry for not positng in awhile. Joey is home and I always seem to slack off blogging when he is here cause we are busy.
He said that all the pictures of the ice storm did not do it justice....you just have to see it to believe it. He bought a new 4-wheeler and trailer to haul all the tree limbs on and is cutting the bigger stuff up for dad to use in his fireplace next year.
Our pool is ruined and will have to be replaced. That really stinks cause we just put a new liner in last summer. Oh well.
Dylan and I both had some sort of virus for a couple of days but are better. Now Joey is coming down with a sore throat. Bre has remained well and is rotten as ever. Marcus is living almost pain free for the time being so that is wonderful.

Damaged Pool

Click on the above pictures to make them bigger and you can easily see the damage. A large limb ripped through our new pool cover. At this point I am still unsure IF the liner is OK or not.

Damaged Deck

Another tree crashed through the side of the deck and pulled it off.

Damaged Gutters

A fairly large tree limb had came down on this spot. I couldn't see the damage till the tree had been removed. Not only is the downspout pulled away but the gutter itself is all bent up.
