My Birthday and February happenings











Well it has been awhile since I have been able to update this. Fell behind on my goal in February but will hopefully redeem myself in March. Not a whole lot was happening in February and I am working full time on an afternoon/day shift split to train our newest dispatcher so I really have not had a lot of "free" time.

When it first starting melting we had a "lake" and "river" in our yard but then it froze again and the kids and Howie took advantage of having our very own skating rink in the back yard. Howie was a big chicken and would put his front two paws on the ice because he really wanted to play with the kids but then decided he better not and would run back towards the house!! Unfortunately this only lasted a few days.

I celebrated my 27th Birthday on the 24th. In many ways I feel like I should not be 27 already but in more ways I feel like I should be 37!! On Monday my mom & dad and grandpa came out and we had steaks on the grill (my fav) and on Tuesday for my birthday we ate supper at the Kokomo Island Cafe in the Mall of America. The kids were off school the entire week and so we ended up taking Samantha, her friend Molly, Ian and his cousin Caleb to Nickelodeon Studios at the Mall of America on Tuesday. Everyone had fun and I even got to get away for a bit to do some browsing/shopping by myself while Nicholas stayed with the kids. Katarina didn't go with because she went with her cousin Madison to the Great Wolf Lodge in WI Dells. I was able to find a few good bargains on some clothes for the kids and some baby stuff that I have been looking for (gotta love Marshalls!!).
