Tag your it!

Wow! To posts in one night! Amazing!
Aparently i have been tagged by two of my high school friends at Two Crayolas short and Simply me. So here it is, all you wanted to know about me!

Ten years ago: I was working at Express Scripts(then Value Rx) i think i had moved back home after some strange roommate situations in St. Paul.

Five things on today's To-Do list: 1. Go shopping for a baby shower gift...done! 2. make dinner...done! 3. Blog about last night...done! I have nothing else!

Snack I enjoy: Ice cream and lately Parmesan and Garlic Dutch Crunch chips!

Things I would do if I was a millionaire: I probably wouldn't quit my job right off the bat. Buy a new house or fix this one up more, i really don't know what else i would do. We have everything we need right now.

Places I've lived: Coon Rapids(2), Fridley(2), Anoka, St. Paul, Richfield, St. Louis Park, Edina, Crystal. The numbers signify the number of places i have lived in those cities. So basically Minnesota.

Tag, you're it: Jess and Tona!

Al & Alma's Supper Club

So last night we went and had dinner with my dad's side of the family at Al & Alma's (there is no plaque honoring the Viks). We had a really good time. Derek had never been there.

Here's the group!

Front row: Derek, my brother adam, Grandpa, uncle steve.

Back row: Me, Uncle Jim, My mom Mary, Grandma and my dad Terry.

Hey Jess if you read this...guess who we saw there?

Look in the background of this pic...see the lady in the white shirt just over my grandpa's shoulder? Now look directly above her head...

Who does this look like??

Carrie, Since you asked...

So far my friends baby is doing quite well. They set-up a website for her...http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/allysonchristinenelson

I got to go and visit with her on Monday. Man she's so tiny! It's weird seeing a baby that small. Tonya would put her hand on her back, and it just pretty much covers her whole back. It's really amazing what Doctors, Nurses and technology can do to help support a life so new.

Please keep this little one in your thoughts and prayers!

Well, i gotta go. I have a 75lb baby whining in my ear because Derek said the W-word...Walk.

July 4th Weekend

We went up to my parents "cabin" at Woodsong Campground off Ann Lake in Mora. We had a good time! My uncle Butch was staying with my parents for the weekend too. Lots of yard games played, mostly swing ball, but bocce ball, and horseshoes were played as well. My mom and I went into Mora with my Aunt Sandy and my mom's cousin Marlene. We ent boutiquing. Then we took Taquito into Mora on Saturday and he got to go swimming at Library park. It was fun, he found a frog when we first got there. So he really forgot about the water. He really just wanted to find that frog. Once we decided we were ready to leave, then he decided i really wanna go swimming, and it was hard to pull him away.

It was kinda funny, normally i am the one who when we're out camping, is ready to go to bed at about 10pm. However, it seems i have been out done. Taquito was so tired, that at 8:30pm we would look over and he's standing at the tent; wanting in to go to bed. So we let him in. He stood there for a while, then curled up on Derek's side of the bed and went to sleep!

Now that we're home, we had to put his flea and tick stuff on, because we forgot it before we left. All he wants to do is cuddle on the couch, but we keep kicking him off!

Hope you had a great happy and safe 4th of July!

Happy day, Scary months to come

My friend from high school and Softball; Tonya, had her baby today. She was born at 24 weeks, 1lb 4oz. I can't begin to imagine the emotions flooding through her right now. Her sister called and left me a message. I am torn between wanting to call her and wanting to just let her have time with her family, so i'll probably just call her tomorrow. I really hope and pray this baby pulls through with no complications and gets to live a full and wonder life with her mommy and daddy.

I'll keep ya posted.
