Brooke Spring Break

Jimbob came home to visit for Spring Break.  I was so excited to see her. I haven't seen her since Thanksgiving.  She got in at 1:20 am on Saturday.  She's waiting for her baggage.  Her plane was delayed, and the baggage was late.  We got home around 3:00 am.

Then we were up bright and early for the Planet. I don't have a pic of the actual planet.  We dropped Nick off at Lacross Game Film to we decided to planetize while he was there.

Grandma and I were going to this play and Lunch. I thought Jim was coming on Sunday but it was Saturday am instead.  So, Brooke went to lunch with us at Zupas.  We also went to Costco and got some chocolate covered raspberries and these lemon almonds someone suggested.  They were fab.  I also had to introduce Brooke to the Acai Bowls at Costco.  Hold the Blue berries.  The best.

Monday I left work early to take Brooke to the Facial lady, TerraLynne.  She is my favorite.  Brooke can't go alone she said.  So, I got to chill in the quiet while she facialized.  We were suppose to go to the dentist but Mark called on our way over and he was sick...so we went to Old Navy instead and got some jeans for her.

Jim also had a Dr. appt with the Neurologist for her seizures and her medication refill.  She couldn't go to that alone so I went with her too.  I took the day off and then we ended up going to the Dentist after.

She thinks she is the dentist and looks at the computer information...

We did end up at Cafe Rio after.  Then we went to Crumbl because she needed a cookie for someone at the Zoo...So we got the party box of 12 cookies.  25.00 worth of cookies!  The peanut butter one is better.

We also decorated these cookies I got at Christmas time at Trader Joe's.  Ugly Sweater cookies.  They turned out cute.

This is the one that I did.  I think I have a future in frosting

We also got a Lacross game in with Nick.  Nick got nailed pretty good so Brooke was on tending duty for Nick when he had to stayed home.

.

THEN...Thursday night, I picked up Andrew at the Airport too  11:30 pm from the shuttle.  AND Friday Brooke and Andrew went to the Zoo.  For some reason, Brooke likes to hang out at the zoo when she is here...

Then after the zoo, I met Andrew and Brooke at the car dealership and Andrew bought this car.  He '

This is Nick walking into Walmart in his new Lacrosse sweatshirt.  He thinks he is pretty cool...

So, as I read the above, this is the dumbest post ever.  I tried to include all the stuff we did, and it sounds so blah.  Anyway, it was a great time seeing Brooke.  I am glad she is doing what she wants and is brave enough to move to Florida and go to Animal Husbandry school.  I have missed her so much.  She is funny and beautiful and makes life better just being around.  She was off as fast as she got here.  I dropped her off at the curb and that was it.  She is back at school cleaning up S#@#.    Here's to a few more semesters for the zoo keeper.  

Andrew's New Car

Andrew decided to come home from SUU on Thursday night to look at a car on Friday. Brooke was also here from Florida.  I picked him up at 11:30 at night at the Airport where he got dropped off from the Cedar City Shuttle.  He loves taking the shuttle from Cedar City.

Andrew and Brooke went to look at the car and really liked it.  They called me to look at it after school.  In the mean time, they went to the zoo.  Funny, Brooke likes to hang at the zoo when she is here for a visit...

They picked me up after school to check out the car.  I thought it was a great car.  He decided to buy it.  He went in the office to do the financing...came out and asked about if he should buy a warranty for 2500.00.  No.  Too much money.  He was in there a long time getting the financing figured out.  He even was preapproved at America First.  After like 45 more minutes he came out and asked if He should do the warranty for 11.00 a month.   They got him better financing than Am First and with his good credit they offered the warranty for 800.00.

FINALLY, he was finished and had the keys.  He is his very own car owner.

A new car looks good on him.  

I needed a new phone so we headed to Wal Mart.  

Here's Nick in his new Lacrosse sweatshirt on our way to the phone center.  I left with my exact phone but a new version.

Nick only came with us because we had good odds of going to Cafe Rio after our Car purchase.

He was right.  We celebrated at the cafe rio.  I didn't get any pics.  But it looked like every other pic of Cafe Rio.  My favorite place to eat with my favorite people.

Gma Leg

I was in Gma's driveway, and she was getting out of her car, and she hit the car door on her leg.  Not a big deal.  She comes to talk to me and says she has to go sit down because it hurts so much...

Well, a few hours later I get this pic of her leg.  She is going to the Theater that night and I was going to Parent Teacher Conference as the teacher.  McCall was on Gma duty.

Then I get this

Then this,,,it is a video of her at the ER.  It is too big to upload here but it was quite dramatic...

Still not sure what happened but she missed the play due to her leg and needing it drained.  She said she couldn't walk and it hurt.   

UPDATE: 

So, this is what it looks like now.  She went to the doc 5 days ago and said it looked ok, and now this.  She decided to go to the Dermatologist which I thought was a good choice.  He looked at it and cut that whole black thing out and cleaned it and put stuff on it and wrapped the entire leg in a bandage she is to leave on for an entire week. He said they were going to have lots of appts together before this is healed.  Oh and gave her an antibiotic.  He didn't mention amputation which is a good sign.  Yuck.  

Lax at Alta

Nick played LAX at Alta under the lights.  However, since he is JV, they played BEFORE the lights.
It was cold and rainy.

It was cold.  I had to go alone.  NO one wanted to come with me.

Its a good thing I found an old sweatshirt in the car from Andrew.  Since it was cold.  Nick had a great game and played most of the time.  He only had one minor injury...Yep to his goods.  He has a HUGE bruise on the inside of upper thigh.  He said it also hit his man parts.  He had a hard time walking off after the injury.  :)  He must have recovered from his head injury from tuesday.  He played great.

VP of Finance

Andrew was running for VP of Finance at SUU. 

I was nervous for him all day of voting, but once again, Andrew prevails as the new VP of Finance at SUU.  Way to go!

He will do a great job as the new VP.  I'm excited for him.  Way to go!

Impress myself AGAIN

Ice Maker not doing well again.  I had noticed that it was leaking water.  And the ice was getting stuck and not coming out, plus it was making a weird noise.  I KNEW it must be more than the ice maker this time.  However, I thought before I call someone to come and fix it, I would try installing a new ice maker.  I ordered one for 35.00.  NOT 44.00 like last time because I knew from last time that I didn't need all the parts.  Arrived, and installed a new ice maker.  It was faster this go round since I am a professional installer now.  I had to wait for a while to see if it worked.  The ice maker has to get to a certain temp before it can make ice.  MUSIC to my ears when I heard that ice drop.

These are the new parts I needed.  I can't believe it was only a simple fix.  So far one week later and still getting ice. I only watched the Youtube video two times instead of 100 like last time.  

Need to Remember

Saw this today and thought I need to remember this.  Mostly I feel like I am being defeated.

Might want to rethink being a Math Major
