Several Things That Happen This Month

I know all of these deserve a post of there own but I didn't take many pics so I figured I would throw it all into one post.

First on July 8Th It was little miss Sophia Birthday party at her grandparents house. This was a swimming party and it just happens to be the first time the twins got to go swimming.

July 14Th we had a "Bowling Buddies Bash" this ended up being a small party because most people were busy or already had plans but we got to see who we mainly wanted to see and that was Big Bobby Jakel (Zack F-ing Morris), The Stepp Family- Larry, Jill, Ri and Trey and then Darby showed up and we haven't seen him since we was married in Vegas in 2009 so it was great to see him. Plus I had my bestie Amy there and her daughter Kenzi and friend Kiya. And a local friend Bobby Bonds.

Let me tell you Bobby B had a heck of time while here, he wanted to hold Bryce so bad and did but that boy not once not twice but three times puke all over Bobby. After a few hours he decided to leave.

As for the party let me just tell you, we went through some food. The food is the following: 16 burgers, 20 hot dogs, 20 brats. Then around midnight we was all started to get hungry again so Darby and Amy went to Buffalo Wild Wings and brought back 100 wings that were gone with in 10 Min's.

Then the next morning we cook over 5 lbs a bacon 3 packages of sausage, 6 cans of biscuits, a pan of gravy and over 2 dozens of scrambled eggs. All was gone but some of the biscuits.

Then to top it all off we went through over 200 cans of beer. All I can say is we had a great time!
July 21st was the Sons of Buck Party- This is a party they hold occasionally. You purchase a ticket to the party to get you in the door and they have a dinner, free raffle for early buyers, basket raffle, game raffles, silent auction and live auctions. This party is to raise money for the Whitetails Unlimited. This was a fun time, Johnny his brother and sister and their spouses were there and his nephew that was our captain all was there. We enjoyed a great dinner and drank all the free beer we wanted. Doug did win one live auction and it was this Chair Johnny says it is his new (Deer Stand)I won a beautiful wine rack to hang on the wall with 3 bottles of wine. A basket with a $50 gift card and other items from Tony's Place in Maschoutah, and then a few other items from the early buyers raffle.

We did try to bid on a few other items in the live auction and that was: A Large tricycle for Bryce, and a Zip up outside tent to lock the kids in to play. All in all this was a fun time and cant wait to do it again next time. Thanks for the invite Artie!

Then Last this past Tuesday was Lilly and Bryce's 6 month birthday and since they were born on a Tue the 24Th and they were half of a year old we got a few family members together and went to Ravanellis for dinner celebration. And for once let me tell you the kids were so good. I guess it helped I let Bryce nap before we went and then as soon as we got there and before my food came I stuffed him with 2 jars of baby food and then switched and fed Lilly, just in time for my food to show up and I could eat in peace. Thank You for a hot meal! And sorry no pics of this event and I cant believe I didn't take any! Shame on me as a mommy!

After dinner it was home to jammies and bed and mommy and daddy time to relax and watch some TV!

I did have one other thing happen this month and that was my Spa Party on July 10Th. But I do have pictures to go on that post so I will save that one for a later time when I get all the pictures download. Hopefully this Sunday! Hopefully! LOL!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! I know I will, we are busy beavers this weekend.

Tonight we have Michelle Karvelats benefit to raise money to help her son go to school. Michelle just passed away about a month ago.

Then Saturday Sue, Mom, Kristi, Betty and the Kids and I are heading over to MO to do some shopping at Buy Buy Baby. Baby shopping for Baby DooLittle that is on the way and Christmas present shopping for the Twins. Then we are doing lunch and were ever else we end up. Doug is going to the farm. I don't blame him!

Sunday will most likely be a day of relaxation besides a friend that may come over to visit and get her spa items that I haven't seen since December. And me blogging about my Spa Party!

Oh yeah and I almost forgot, my cousin Allan and his girlfriend Casey had their second son yesterday. Congrats to you both! And welcome to the family Theodore!

What a Busy Weekend!

So on Friday night we usually go out and do something together as a couple, but this Friday we decided to stay home and just relax and get the house cleaned for the Fish Fry Party we was having the next day.
So I got home from work and there was the hubby placing wood on our front stairs, apparently Doug fell through them and knew we had people coming over so decided to screw down some wood. It actually looks so nice. Eventually these stairs are going to the front of the house because those stairs are completely falling in and we decided we want a large deck for the side door we always go in.
Anyway after he was finished he did a few other outside side jobs added rock the the road and under the new stairs in the driveway etc. Then came in and we ordered some Pizza hut for dinner and sat down to eat. We was going to relax and watch some TV then get to cleaning but I was so exhausted from being up late Thursday night that I crashed by 8. Around 1 am I woke up to the nascar race on that he started to watch were he taped it and him sound asleep snoring away. I woke him up and away to bed we went.
I set my alarm for 7 to get up early to clean and be ready by 9 to go to the craft fair. I got up when I said I was, cleaned the house completely and took a shower. My mom arrived around 8:30 and we headed to the craft fair. This was a small one so we wasn't there long and headed home to set up for the party. By 12 or so everything was ready to go and everyone started to arrive with the side dishes
All night we had people in and out and I am pretty sure this year we had more people there then we ever had. I think around 80 or so showed up. Doug and Me's best friend from the Chicago area even showed up and surprised us. Thank For coming Big Bobby we love and miss You! Thank You to everyone else that came, The Fish Fry was a success even though it was windy and somewhat chilly.
Later in the night the kids all played and the adults sat around the bon fire and chatted till late. It was a great time.
Now yesterday was a day of waking up cleaning house again from the party before and then doing absolutely nothing. Doug did make some breakfast while I cleaned the playroom, where I am glad I had all those toys because the kids had a good time. After breakfast and watching some TV momma got hungry so daddy ran for some Penn Station. Momma ate and took a nap while Daddy watch the Nascar race. I got up right about the time Aunt Shirl was to come over to play cards but she changed her mind she was also to tired. So then Doug and I was like great what we gonna do now so we played cards with each other for a while.
After we was finished it still was only 6 from the time change so we decided to make some dinner and watch a movie on demand, of course there was nothing on, so we watch the Hangover since we still have never seen it. This was a great movie and now I cant wait to watch the second one. After the movie Bed time here we come.
So now here we are and its Monday and we start all over again, even though I am going to dread this weekend because my Hubby will be gone for deer season for 2 weeks. I hate when hes gone but he loves to go so I cant deny him going. I think I might get some of my Christmas shopping done while hes gone.

Dougs Hunting Accident

Sorry its blurry, but its off my camera phone. This past hunting season, Doug was gutting a deer when his knife slipped and cut his finger half off. As soon as I found out what happen I took him to the ER and had them stitch it back on. I think it was 8 stitches all together. A week later the stitches were due to come out, so he had his Cousin Mel who is going to school to be a nurse take them out. She said good thing we are doing this now, they are starting to grow under the skin. But the next day that darn finger busted back open. So we kept butterfly stitch band-aids on it and let it heal up. All in all it looks good, not that much of a scar but he lost all his feeling in it where he cut it.

Hunting Season Time

Well its that time of the year again I wont see my husband on the weekends, because he will be down at the farm. Why do you ask, because its:

This is my
