Good News...

Byson said, "I love you" to me today. AHahahaha, well, no, he didn't, he's a dog, but he licked me like crazy so I think that was what he was trying to say. ahahahah

Today my second grade team met for breakfast. Afterwards, we went over to the local teacher store and picked out some things for our classroom with the money we're given. It made me somewhat excited for school! I'm thankful however for this time off, and I DO NOT want to rush it!:-)

Where's Waldo...I mean, Reggie?!

Ok, so I've tripped on Reggie numerous times lately because he blends in so well with the new rug in the back room..... Can you find Reggie? ahahahahahha If it weren't for his blue collar, he really would be hidden!!!!

Happy Wednesday!

Parent Pick Up Day and Cute Nephews in Corn Dog Shirts....Fun times!

Today we picked my parents up from the airport....this is them coming down the escalator to the baggage claim where we were waiting. (sorry it's a little blurry). They had a great time on their Alaskan Cruise....my dad enjoyed his first time flying, however, their luggage has to be shipped to them because it didn't arrive at the airport.:-) Oh well.... YEAH for parents and cruises!!!!

I've also included a cute shot of my nephew....he's giving a cheesy smile. I took this picture because I loved his shirt today. It made me laugh....

1 cent sale and more...

What a crazy Monday! Today Staples had their 1 cent sale...so I got some folders, pencil sharpners, and pencils for my classroom. I went back a second time this evening to get more. Ahahahah What a deal!

My brother and I were supposed to pick up my parents tonight at the airport. They've returned from their Alaskan Cruise, however, this evening their flight was cancelled, so they are overnight in a hotel. I'm praying things will go smootly tomorrow and that their rescheduled flight comes to Chicago as planned!

Here's the latest picture of my "junk" room rennovation. It's still in progress as I need to still hang pictures on the walls. I took a shot from the same angle as I did for the white wall/blue wall shot.
Some good news for those of you who care....Our front door knob and washing machine are finally fixed (for those of you who have heard my stories of things breaking). Only a few things left to fix! Praise the Lord!

Well, time for some rest....

Night!

Yes, we still are alive!

I'm sorry it has been a week since the last post! It was a very crazy and difficult week for us Aukermans, but we have made it through thanks to God! Let's just say that when something goes wrong, everything starts going wrong!!!! We had quite a few things break around the house.....but God provides, and we are in the process of fixing everything.:-) Fun, I know. ahahaha
Let's see....some other key things that took place this past week:

We are in the process of fixing up our "junk" room. Here are some pictures....

We tore up the carpet...(I have a sore hand and blisters from using pliers to pull staples out of the hardwood floor!)

Jason fixed the ceiling....(He looked awesome covered in white dust!!!!) NO, this picture isn't blurry....thats the dust blowing around the room!!!! (it was so fun to clean up....ahaha)

Painted the room blue....

And now we're trying to put everything back into the room, hang pictures, curtains, etc...(a finished picture to come soon)....

Hopefully if we ever have a baby while living at this house....it would be nice to have a boy, that way we won't have to repaint! Jason says even if it's a girl, she's having a blue room. ahahahah. Anyways,this has been a project I've wanted to complete since the day we moved into this house so I feel relieved! (WE'VE NOW OFFICIALLY LIVED HERE ONE YEAR!)

Alright, well have a great Sunday! I better get back to work!

Fireworks

Last night Jason and I saw fireworks with my brother and two nephews. They had a new spot this year to set off the fireworks, and I think some people didn't read the newspaper and faced the area they used to use. That left the perfect spot open for us! The fireworks were great. It was a lot of fun:-)

Happy Sunday!

Byson seems to be doing 100% better!!! Praise the Lord. After some extra love from his daddy....(who even let him up on his leather couch...now that's love) and some more benadryl....today he woke up clear! He had bad spells all day yesterday, but it looks like whatever it was that caused his hives...it's out of his system now.

I also forgot to brag on my husband yesterday! While I was out running a crazy long run....I look over to my right and see Jason drive by. He waved...and I was like...What is he doing!? He stopped and handed me my favorite kind of gatorade. It was extra cute!!! Thanks again Jase!


Yesterday I drove my parents to Ohare Airport... they are off on an Alaskan cruise. I can't wait to hear about how much fun I know they'll have! Jason worked hard doing some landscaping yesterday with my brother.


OK, well I better go help finish what Jason decided to call our "Lupper" (lunch and supper ahahaha). He's grilling chicken, and I'm doing some sides. One more thing....I've added a picture of my three boys earlier today (Jason and his friend helped move our big desk out of the computer room....so that room is a crazy computer cord and junk mess! It's my project of the week....hopefully to tear up the dirty carpet and paint the walls. Well anways, that is why the computer is on the floor.) OK...so back to explaining the picture. The dogs both chose a side of Jason and laid down while he was typing. Then, they all got sleepy. They were all so cute, I had to get a picture!

God Bless!!! Have a great day!
