Tivo Madness

(our original remote that has been used for years..)
Once upon a time we were SO excited to get a TIVO!!! It was so great and I really thought to myself that the World had finally all become GOOD~ We quickly found that we NEEDED one in the bed room because we could tape shows that we did not want the kids to watch and see them when we had a free moment.. Then..the trouble began.. We had one Tivo remote and one other direct TV remote. (no one liked that one) then Rune scored a THIRD TIVO BOX!! so Sam needed on in his room..(granted we put the old one in that has all the Saved old kid shows and did NOT hook it up for service but just let him have the fun old shows)
Anywho...
Here is the problem,
REMOTE Controls either Run away from our home our the commit a form of "hara kiri"!

Well, a few weeks ago Rune went down to Next Step http://www.nextsteprecycling.org/store and brought home 7 new Tivo remotes..

I still can't find one so.. lol MAYBE.. just maybe we should stop using them :)

I'm Back...

I have not been able to blog for a while.. We had some issues with Blogger and Picasa~ I could NOT post pictures.. And I was PROTESTING!!!!

But, Oh Happy Day~ my DH looked it over and has finally fixed it for me! YAHOO:)

Blue & Gold

We had our Troops Blue & Gold Banquet this past month! This was a really fun day! Sam and I enjoyed working together to make the cake and try to have fun at the same time!! It was fun for both of us!!


I was really proud of him, he tried hard to make it smooth and decorate it! When we were working on it I had suck memories of being in the kitchen with my Mom and watching her work on Cakes.. She was a really wonderful cake decorator. I am not great at that.. I have never figured out how to make a Beautiful Frosting rose lol.



Well, in our Fam we tape the Food network cake challenges and watch them together so I knew Sam would love this~ Sure enough when we were putting it together he told me that he "felt like he was on the Food Network!" lol

Katie's Heart~

Katie had a visit to the hospital..


She had a little heart issue, and had a lot of tests!!


She had to wear a heart monitor. It was really frightening..
But, her new pal Kevin
helped her.


Katie had Xrays of her heart. It helped us know that
she was going to be just fine, after her Medicine and some rest.

(Can you believe that this was the picture!! It is her 4th Birthday this week!!)

This is one of our little Lilly girls first pictures! It was from the day we took her home.
(She was born on the 16th of January.)
It was so hard to have Lilly.. I knew that she was going to be our last and I really wanted to cherish every moment of it. But it was a hard time too.. I had some complications that ended up being cruddy.. We loved her so much! My favorite thing about Lilly at this point was that several of the Nurses asked if my Husband was Hispanic because she had so much hair and had such a great dark complexion. (We all know I have one of the whitest Norwegian husbands around so it was funny to have all the questions!)
Look at all that hair.. CRAZY!!


Now, I tag..
