WOW!!!!!!!!
what a busy month this has been already. We have had so many things going on and so many things still to happen. The first weekend in April we had a baby shower on Saturday afternoon, a dinner in the evening and Easter Sunday mass and Kynlee Plienis' baptism. Jack was asked to be Kynlee's godfather. He was so proud and so excited. The boys had so much fun on Saturday as we colored Easter eggs. They each had 18 eggs to do. Charlie had his finished in no time, so Will gave him some of his. I love to watch them color eggs. What an awesome tradition! They had fun with their Easter baskets and even had plastic eggs to find. The Easter bunny hid eggs around the family room. Then off to our church and then to the Methodist church for the baptism. What a beautiful day. The sun was out! Later in the day, we even cleaned out our garage. That was a project that was long overdue. What a gross job. Last weekend we had state wrestling in New Salem. Jack did awesome. He pinned 2 of his 3 matches and took 2nd. He was very proud to bring a home a trophy. Saturday night we went to the Martina McBride and Trace Atkins concert at the civic center with Cassie and Kameron. I wasn't to sure about Trace, but did recognize some of his songs. He sure has a deep voice. Martina was awesome, I have always loved her. She can sure sing. She is so tiny. She is older than I am and I know that I could not keep up with her. She is all over the place. We had a great time.
Sunday morning was our good friend Ryan Brown's first Holy Communion. We had mass at our old church in Bismarck and then to Sarah's for lunch. What a great day, he looked so cute all dressed up . Thanks for letting us share in such a special celebration with you.
Monday morning, Paul and I headed to Fargo for our annual Funeral Directors convention. It is always so nice to see everyone and learn new things. Paul was elected to the National Funeral Directors Policy Board again for another 3 years. YEAH! He really enjoys this position and has met so many wonderful people. We will enjoy 3 more years of traveling and attending funeal director functions. We got home on Wednesday and met Shannon, Sarah and their families and went to "walking with the Dinosaurs" What an incredible show. The dinosaurs were so life like and so loud. There were times that you jumped back in your seat. T-Rex was very big and had a very scary growl. If you get the chance to go, do so. It was a great show, everyone we were with had a great time and loved the show.
Today is it back to work. I am finishing up on things for a funeral tomorrow. I am going to go to Bismarck tomorrow and do a spring burial for Paul. This weekend we have lots of company coming for Jack's first Holy Communion. He is very excited. Once he does this then he can be a mass server. Keep Jack in your prayers as he is finally able to take part in the body and blood of Christ. We are so excited for him. God Bless you Jack!
I will update on our weekend later and post pictures of his special day.
thanks for checking in on us.

Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to my friend Sarah! I hope you have a great day! We have been friends since 9th grade. How crazy is that. I hope you liked your flower arrangement....ha ha. I have more presents for you when we get together. Hopefully we can get together soon for a birthday dinner.
Thanks for being such a good friend, we always have fun together and can make each other laugh. I am always impressed that we can communicate with each other without even saying a word, or we can change the subject quickly without missing a beat.
Have a great day!
love Tammi

Refridgerator Saga!
I am happy to report that the refridgerator was able to be fixed. The repairman said it was the motherboard. He ordered the new motherboard and put it together last night. This morning everything was very cold! YEAH! One nice thing about this whole ordeal is that everything is very clean, it almost looks brand new.
I don't even want to fill it up again. I want to keep it looking new and clean. While I was out to dinner last night for a birthday party, Paul and Will put everything back in the fridge and a few things in the freezer. That was nice, since I had the pleasure of cleaning out the thawed mess. Thanks Guys!!!
I also want to wish my good friend Lori a very happy belated birthday. We finally celebrated with dinner last night. Lori's birthday was March 8. we were a little late, but had a great time. Lori, Cassie and I went to the Harvest for an awesome dinner. thanks girls for a fun evening. I hope you had a very happy birthday. Thanks for being such a great friend/sister. Everyone thinks we are sisters, sometimes we act like sisters too. I am glad I have such great friends. We always have so much fun together.
Tonight Will and I are attending "Safe Night". Safe night is a presentation put on by the Emmons County Interagency for grades 5th , 6th and 7th. We will have supper, divide into groups and sit in on several presentations, and last they have a dance for the kids. The presentations range anywhere from facebook/internet safety, the national guard is bringing down their helicopter, a drug dog, and lots of other interesting and fun topics. I am part of the interagency and because Will is attending, I decided to help out. We are excited to go and hope it is as fun as it sounds. Will wasn't too sure that he wanted to go, but I talked him into it. He isn't a big fan of large crowds. It is kids from Hazelton, Linton and Strasburg. I know he will have fun once he is there. Jack, of course, wanted to go too. He is game for anything. I told him, his turn will be coming.
I tried to sign Charlie up for preschool for the fall of 2010 and they are FULL! Yikes, It took me a little while to call, I am not sure I wanted him to go yet. He is my baby, you know. I am going to keep bugging them and hopefully someone will drop out. We are not sure yet if he will go to Kindergarten when he turns 5 or wait a year. So many descions. It just seems to get worse the older they get.
talk to you later!

Mourning the loss of our dear refridgerator!
It is with great sadness that I report to you we lost a dear friend today. Our family friend of almost 6 years has died. We woke up this morning to find our freezer at a balmy 54'. Everything had melted! Most everything in the refridgerator part was ok. I guess it is a good way to get the freezer cleaned out. I have been hauling things out to our old fridge in the garage. What a mess. the repair man figures it has been out for 72 hours! How weird is that, well we were out of town on Monday am to Tuesday pm for continuing ed. We were not home to realize this. The repair man came over this morning and said it is the mother board. That sounds bad. He says he has to order a new one, not sure how much that will cost. I told him to check with Paul before he actually orders it. It may be cheaper to get a new fridge. It is amazing to me how much we take for granted. It is not easy to be without a fridge in your house! I didn't think an appliance like that would wear out so soon. We bought it when we moved into our house in July of 2004, that doesn't seem very old to me. I don't even think I can make dinner tonight. I am at a loss. How can we function? Maybe we will have to go out to eat tonight, good excuse anyway!
I will keep you posted on the repairs or if we have to get a new fridge. I am not liking this stuff. Oh, the woes of being a home owner.
thanks for checking on us.
We are all doing good, enjoying the signs of spring! I will post again soon

mystery solved!!!!
Yeah!!!!! We, or should I say, Paul found charlie's DS. It was downstairs in Will's bedroom. Not sure how it got there, but one of the boys must have brought it home. I am just so thankful it is here and we didn't lose it. Good lesson for me. I need to be more careful. Once again, St. Anthony comes through. I always tell the boys to pray to St. Anthony when they lose something. Now, I can tell them that I also had to pray to him and we found the DS.
Have a great Monday, it is looking better here, could always use some sunshine though :)

hello all Did you remember to set your clocks back 1 hour??
I am a little tired today. I don't like when we have to change the clocks ahead. It takes me a few days to get used to it, plus the fact that I was up two nights in a row until 2am. Yikes! Friday night I hosted scrapbooking and we scrapped until 2am. Saturday night we were subs for a pinochle group in Linton, we played until 2am. It was a lot of fun, but makes me very tired. Needless to say, I have very little energy today. Charlie and I are home today, I would love to take a nap, but how is that possible with a four year old running around? Guess I will have to get to bed earlier tonight.
It is a very dreary day outside, cloudy and overcast. We drove around last night
to check out the flood situation. The creek behind our house is very high and running over. It looks like we will have some flooding, but nothing like last year. People are filling sand bags and putting them around their houses. What a scary time for some people.
Friday night we had Jack's second wrestling match. It was in Linton. Jack took 3rd and got a medal. He was very excited. We all went to watch him. Loy and Steve came down to see him too, he was VERY excited to have them come to watch him wrestle. I do get a little nervous, I don't want him to get hurt. We brought Charlie's Nintendo DS, it really keeps him occupied while we watch Jack. Well, he was having a blast playing his DS with 2 other little girls. When he was done, he gave it back to me and I put it in the case. One of the little girls asked if she could play it and I gave it to her. When we got ready to leave, Paul took the boys to the pizza shop and I went scrapbooking. We are not sure where the DS went. This morning, I realized that I haven't seen it all weekend. We have the case, but it is empty. I called the school to see if anyone had turned it in, but the secretary didn't have anything! She was going to check with the wrestling coaches and the janitors and call me back. I would bet someone found it and took it. I don't want to sound negative, but where else could it be. I am thinking the little girl finished playing it and set it down and went on her merry way. I would hope if someone found it, they would turn it in. I have to believe that there are honest people out there. If my child brought home a toy, I would sure take it back. I weould think a parent would notice a new DS if their child had one. The bad thing is, this is the 2nd one we have lost. I did say a prayer to saint Anthony, I am waiting for him to come through. Saint Anthony is the patron Saint of lost items. if you pray to him, he will help you find your lost item. I am anxious for the boys to get home from school to ask them about it. One of them brought home the empty DS case, I just hope someone saw it and we will find it again. It could also be in the folded up in the bleachers, I just want to find it and get it back. It is too expensive to lose. I can't even blame Charlie, I gave it to the little girl. I should know better! Well, from now on, I will not share things like that with other kids.
Last night I made an awesome supper, mashed potaotes and gravy, corn, apples, cream dementhe cake and an awesome roast. I got the recipe from my mom, I have wanted to try it, so last night I finally did. It was very good. Here is the recipe if you want to try it. Please let me know what you think.....
Best Beef Roast
1 4lb roast without a bone
2 jars beef gravy
1 pkt onion soup mix
small bottle italian dressing
mix ingredients together and pour over roast. bake at 350 for 3 hours. Take roast out and slice. Place back in gravy and bake another hour. We loved it and had hardly any left. Yummy!!!!
It is almost lunch time, Paul will be home soon. What to make for lunch? I have such dilemas in my life.
I will keep you posted on the DS situation. Say a prayer to St. Anthony for me, it can't hurt.
See ya later

Fun with Grandma
hello all, I am way over due in posting a message. We have had a very busy past couple of weeks, but then again, when aren't we busy!
On Thursday, Charlie, Lori, Karady and I left for Bemidji to visit and bring my mom back to Linton for a visit. We stopped in Fargo on our way and had a great time. We had to make a stop at the Scrapnook. Imagine how we shopped with 2 small kids, it was interesting, but we did it.
We had fun in Bemidji. We stayed at My sister's house. I love seeing my niece and nephews. We didn't get to see Taylor very much, she is so busy. I think she gets taller each time I see her. It was great to see Max and Joey. I just love spending time with them and wished we lived closer. Charlie had a blast with his cousins. He and Joey usually get along, but this time, they did a little fighting. Charlie and Max left joey out. He was a little upset. It is so cute to watch them interact and listen to them talk.
We brought my mom abck with us on Saturday. I love having her here and having her spend time with the boys. I wish she could stay longer or even lived closer. We had a very relaxing visit. We had a yummy turkey dinner on Sunday. Went to Bismarck for supper on Monday and relaxed on Tuesday. Paul and I met my sister in Fargo on Wednesady and she brought my mom home. It seems like it went so fast. She will be back in April for Jack's first holy communion.
Today Cassie and Kameron welcomed little Kynlee Jacalyn Plienis. She weighed 7lbs 3 ozs. From the pictures, I think she looks like Kameron. We can't wait to meet her. Hopefully it will be soon! Jack is so proud, I called him at school today to tell him that she was born. He is going to be her godfather. He is soooooo excited and will do such a great job. Congratulations!!!!!!!
I better get to bed. It seems like I stay up too late and then I don't want to get up in the morning.
Good night!

hello
It has been a very crazy week. I feel very stressed, not sure why, but very stressed. The week started kind of sad at our house. Will's favorite team "the Colts" didn't win the superbowl. Will was very disappointed, but by Monday morning he seemed better. We really thought they would win. We planned that Will would wear a different Colts shirt each day this week. I was also going to order him a Colts superbowl championship shirt. So much for those plans! Oh well, they did do better then our Vikings.
Charlie has had a very bad cough. Monday night he had a slight fever, and said his ears hurt, his throat hurt and his head hurt. Tuesday he and I went up to Bismarck to see the pediatrician. I (being the doctor that I am) was sure that he had strep. She said he had croup. I thought only babies got croup. She said he should have a humidifier and cough medicine. She also gave him a little steroid in some chocolate syrup to open him up. Craziest thing I have heard of. He still has the cough, but seems to be feeling better otherwise.
It seems like everyone in our hosue is a little crabby this week. I, being the most crabby! I am not sure why, I think some awful, ugly weather must be brewing in the future. I bought the boys donuts today as a peace offering since I was so crabby this morning. I just get very frustrated trying to get a child, who shall be nameless, to read and clean up after himself. It seems like I spend a good part of our evening argueing with him. He thinks I am very mean and I feel bad always being on his case. I just want him to learn to be respectful of my authority and listen to me! When will it sink in for him???? I am not giving up.
I did get an early Valentine's Day present. I should maybe say the only Valentine's day present. We are not going to exchange gifts between Paul and I. We do have gifts for the boys though. Anyway, on Tuesday night, Paul thought maybe Charlie should have some Gatorade for his "choke" as little Charlie calls it! Jack offered to go to the store and get him some. He came home with the gatorade and said, "mom, I got you a Valentine's Day gift. I turned around to see him carrying a long stemed rose. He had such a huge smile on his face. It was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. I was so proud of him, that he would think of his mom. what a sweetheart, my little Jack. I love you little boo boo!
Well, for not having anything to say, I sure did ramble on. Paul is taking the boys to the rodeo on Friday night, so I am staying home to scrap book. I think I will scrap by myself. Our girls night is next Friday. I am on a roll. Last weekend I got 8 pages done Woo hoo. I have a lot to do, so I really need to catch up.
thanks for checking on us. I will chat again soon
Happy Valentine's Day to all.

Happy Birthday Will
hello
We have another birthday in our house. Will is 12 years old! Wooohooo. I am so amazed at how fast they grow, it truly seems like yesterday we brought him home. I told him yesterday that I think that 12 years ago that day was the happiest day of my life. I am amazed at how much I can remember of his birth and how excited and happy we were. You have made us very happy and so proud to have you as our son. I was very excited to have all three of the boys, but Will was the first and that was so exciting you were the start of our awesome family.
We had a great day, Will had some friends over to stay over night on Friday night, they had a lot of fun! They had a fishing tournament on the Wii. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings (Will's Choice)tonight with the Browns for supper and then over to their house for a Dairy Queen Cake, it was awesome.
I want to wish Will a very happy birthday and thank him for being such a great kid. He is so responsible and helpful. He is always willing to help me out. He loves to watch Charlie and will do any chore I ask of him. thanks for being a big help to daddy and I. We hope you have a great birthday. We love you very much and we are so proud of you. mom and dad XXOO

Happy Birthday Charlie
I can't believe my little baby is 4. Where does the time go, he sure isn't a baby anymore, but will always be my baby. I just love to watch him do things or tell me something. He puts so much emotion into what he does and his facial expressions are priceless! Paul and I were thinking back to the day he was born, we remembered everything about the day. We were so happy to see him and a little surprised he was a boy! I was so excited for his brothers to meet him, they were so excited too. they couldn't wait for us to come home, they used to sit by his bassinet and just watch him.
I kept telling him today, "Charlie, I can't believe you are 4" he would smile and hold up 4 fingers. He was so happy to have a party and get presents, he knows now what birthdays are all about. Grandma Sannes came this past weekend to stay and celebrate Charlie's birthday. He was excited to have her here. We had a little party with cake and presents this weekend. We are planning to go to Fargo this next weekend, but they are predicting another blizzard so we will have to wait and see what happens. I want to post pictures but for some reason it won't let me. If I figure out what is wrong, I will post some pictures soon.
Happy Birthday Charlie, we love you little man.

If I figure out what is wrong, I will post some pictures soon.
Happy Birthday Charlie, we love you little man.

Baby it is cold outside!!!!!
Burrrrrrrr! It is so cold today, my jacket is crunchy. It is about -19' and supposed to be colder tomorrow. The weatherman says tomorrow morning the temp will probably be -30' to -40' actual air temperature. Holy cow, that is cold! The boys had school one hour late this morning. They were excited, actually hoping school wopuld be canceled. No such luck, they had school. They had no outside recess, so they will be crazy when they get home. They just don't get rid of their energy when they don't go outside. We are almost finished taking our Christmas things down. What a project, I LOVE putting it up, but do not like taking it down. I do love after it is down the house seems so clean. Charlie was kind of sad when he saw me taking the tree apart. He said, that Santa was going to come back. He didn't understand that it would be a long time before he comes back again. So cute. He does seem to understand that Santa won't come if we do not have a Christmas tree! I just love the sweet inocence of a 3 year old, everything just seems so simple in his world. I wish I could have some of his sweetness and just not worry about the small stuff. I could write a whole post on worrying! Does anyone out there worry about dumb things? How do you get over it and not worry so much, please tell! I try so hard to just let things go, but sometimes it doesn't work.
Oh well, it has been a crazy week. We have been very busy at work. Charlie and I had one of his daycare friends over to our house on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. He loved that and they had so much fun together. It was fun for Charlie to have a friend over.
I better go and get some work done, I have to pick up Will and Jack soon. I didn't have to much to say, but hadn't been blogging lately, so I thought I would just say "Hi". I'll be back again soon! Thanks for checking on us

Happy New Year
WOW!! it has been a long time since I did a post on here. As you can imagine a lot has been going on. We have been very busy and ready for everything to wind down. The boys went back to school today. I am sure they were tired, but I think they were ready to go back.
December was a very busy month. We did a lot of baking and the usual wrapping gifts, decorating the house, sending out Christmas cards and Christmas concerts.
I always love going to the boys Christmas concerts. They have so much fun and love to sing. We did a lot of baking this year. I think this is the most we have ever done and there were still a few things we didn't do.
At the beginning of December we went to Bemidji to see my sister and her family, and my mom. They had just gotten snow, so the kids were all excited to play in the snow. We went to a Bemidji State hockey game. The boys had a blast. We went to celebrate Max's 5th birthday. Hard to believe he is 5 already. He is such a sweetie and so darn cute with his red hair and little freckles across his nose.
We didn't celebrate Christmas with them because it was just way to early to do gifts, so we left theirs there and took ours home.
Christmas was a lot of fun. We ended up getting over a foot of snow, so we had a long family bonding time. Lets say we were in our house for 2 1/2 days. Everyone did just fine. Good thing the boys got some new toys to keep them busy. We played a lot of games and did a lot of shoveling.
My birthday was at the end of the month and we were in Minot. We celebrated by going to the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movie. It is so cute, you have to go if you haven't seen it yet. The boys all loved it.
New years eve we went to the Linton Foundation 2nd annual gala. It was so much fun. They sure know how to put on a party. The food is awesome, the decorations are amazing and the band is a lot of fun. It is a fundraiser for the Linton Hospital Foundation. We have gone each year and it gets bigger and better each time.
News years day we had friends over for dinner and cards. We also played "Farkle" It is a dice game and it is so much fun. we all love it! It is good for Will and Jack to play because they have to do some adding. A little extra practice doesn't hurt and they are having fun without realizing they are learning math. Ha Ha Ha don't tell them my little secret!!!!!
Now it is back to school for all. Charlie and I are home and one of our daycare friends is at our house today, tomorrow and Wednesday. Our daycare is closed for the week. Charlie loves having a friend over to play.
I better close, it is almost time to get Will and Jack from school. thanks for checking on us.
Hope everyone has a very happy new year!
