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!
