Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone is having a good Thanksgiving! Today we went with Brad's real estate boss, Carol and Dave to church for dinner! It was really nice and the food was GREAT!!! I have been busy all afternoon packing and getting things together for our trip to Green Bay tomorrow. I am tired from all the packing! Camden is very excited as this is his first trip to Lambeau Field. He can't decide if he wants a Donald Driver or AJ Hawk jersey! He is going to have so much fun up there because there is alot to do for kids!
Brandi and the boys are coming down to visit tonight and then they will leave to go back to Swea City tomorrow when we leave. Camden is so excited to see his Auntie Brandi and of course his uncles.
Well thanksgiving is pretty much over and Christmas is just under 4 weeks away.....it will be here before we know it!
Have a good weekend!

New Truck

Brad has been wanting an older style Ford F150 truck ever since we traded his last truck off for the durango! Yeah it killed him to trade his last truck considering it was only a year or two old! Well today he finally found one. It's crazy we were just talking at my dad's a couple weekends ago that it is so nice to have the Durango and my Taurus paid off. The many months we have had of not having a car payment has been SOOOO nice! We told ourselves we were going to drive the Durango and the Taurus at least until the end of next year! He is always looking for trucks but says he is going to wait to buy one. Well that changed today. Brad is driving home a truck he bought in Omaha! It's a 2001 Ford F150 with 36, 000 miles. I have not seen the truck yet besides pictures but he said it's nice for a 2001 and there are some cosmetic flaws but I guess you have to expect that for being a 2001. He couldn't pass up the deal with it only having 36,000 miles and got them to come down on the price! It's hard to find a 2001 with that low of mileage. We are keeping the durango for me because that is in pretty good shape and has around 75, 000 miles on it. It actually has been a very good vehicle for us, I don't think we have ever had anything go wrong with it!(knock on wood) It was time for my car to go because it had 130, 000 so we ended up selling that to one of Brad's buddies! The picture I posted is a internet picture from the dealers website.

Christmas

This is Camden saying "what are we going to do with all this stuff?" Well this is not even half of the christmas stuff. Every year I swear I end up with more stuff! We put up the christmas tree today and it's a white tree and once we got it up we noticed it had a yellowish/brownish tint to it! So I guess I am going to have to go out and buy a new tree. I really like white trees but I don't want it to turn colors each year that I buy one. I am also thinking maybe a real tree???? Who knows what I will do!

Go Hawks!

Hawks are pretty much kicking some a** agaisnt Minnesota! The game is still not over but pretty sure the Hawks are going to win this one! The Floyd of Rosedale trophy will stay in Iowa City this year! I am hoping to get to see cousin Tony get in on some plays as QB! Dad was saying it was senior night and we are all hoping to see him get a chance to get in.
We started getting christmas stuff down and put out. Wow I did not realize how much stuff I have to put out. It took me awhile to put all the decorations out and that is not including putting the tree up and decorating it! The tree will wait til tomorrow! We are not doing much this weekend....Brad has to work all weekend so Cam and I are just hanging out at home. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Getting Old?

I think I am getting old! Today I went to Sioux City with my good friend Anne for her doctor appointment. She is 34 weeks pregnant and we both doctor at the same office in Sioux City. I thought I would just go along with her and go to her appointment then we could go out for lunch and do some shopping since we have not been able to do alot lately with our busy schedules! We were done at the doctor by 10:00 and we shopped a little afterwards then around 12ish we decided to grap something to eat. Let me tell a couple of hours of shopping for us and we were ready to go home because one I was actually really not in the mood to shop for much and I was EXHAUSTED!!! Well it ended up after lunch we shopped for another 3 hours and then headed home. We were both so tired! So maybe it's just because we are pregnant and not because we are old. I remember my younger days of being able to shop all day for hours! Well thats not the case anymore. Maybe it was because it was cold, windy, and crappy all day! Or maybe it's just because I am getting older:( On a good note it was a fun day even though I am tired. I got some more christmas shopping done and of course shopping for myself!

Fun weekend in Swea City...

Riding with Papa while hunting.....They were waiting for Brad, Oz, and Brett to get back from walking Gpa Beadle's field.

The gross part of getting a pheasant was cleaning them.....they smelled SOOOO bad!

Camden, Brad, Brett, Ozzie, Shooter, and Rusty

Again minus Camden

This weekend was a fun, busy weekend. Friday we headed out and got to my dad's around noon. The boy's, dad, and Brad went hunting right away. Dad of course asked Cam if he wanted to go so he rode along with dad in the truck while the boys and Brad hunted. They got out and were able to walk a little but not to much, they pretty much just watched from the truck. I of course just layed around at dads and took a nap. Later on I met the guys at Gma and Gpa Beadle's. They had a pretty good afternoon shooting 6 pheasants. Later that night we went to Paul and Connie's and had supper with them and visited. We were all pretty tired that night so we headed to bed somewhat early. Saturday morning we got up and to my suprise Brett had made bacon and eggs...and yep it was really good, I didn't know he could cook! So after breakfast the guys headed out to do some more hunting and Camden had to stay with me since Dad was going to hunt and walk with the boys and Brad. Yeah he was not happy about that! Later morning Camden and I headed to Beadle's to meet the guys for dinner and as of noon that day they had not even fired a shot at anything. The only thing they saw were a couple of hens. Camden and I decided to go out in the afternoon with them and the luck they were having that morning did not change. They did not see anything in the afternoon. So Saturday they ended up with no pheasants. Dad said there is still so much corn in the field that the pheasants are in the corn. I talked Oz, Brett, and Brad into going to Fairmont late afternoon to do some shopping. I ended up getting some more christmas presents bought. I am hoping to be near done by the first of December. I am doing alot better than last year. Later Saturday night Buzz, Tab, and Cassie came to dad's and it was so fun. It was like old times sitting around the table talking. We were missing Brandi though but Ozzie made sure to tell her we were missing her:)
Sunday morning the boys and Brad were up by 6 and went to Eagle Lake duck hunting with Buzz. What a better way to end the weekend......Sunday dinner at Gma and Gpa Beadle's. I was spoiled this weekend and got Gma's dinner twice this weekend and Sunday she made my favorite mashed potatoes and gravy...YUM!!!! It's crazy how it's almost Thanksgiving. I am not sure what we are doing for Thanksgiving. Brad has to work and the Friday after we are heading to Green Bay for 4 days so I am not sure if Cam and I will go home or not. Well hope everyone has a good week!

Weekend...

Hey, hope everyone has a good weekend! We are heading back to Swea so Brad can go hunting today and tomorrow with my dad and brothers! My brothers said they were going to show him how it was done up there....ha!! They are pretty good hunters though! I am sure Brad will learn a thing or two from them. I am sure he will have a good time. Brad went hunting earlier this week with some of his buddies down here and shot his first duck! Yeah he was excited about that! I think Camden and I are going to relax all weekend and maybe go and do some more christmas shopping. Camden thinks he is going out hunting too so he is not going to be to thrilled when he doesn't get to go. I am sure his Papa will take him out for a bit sometime this weekend!
I have to finish working so I can get out of here early to head home.....So have a good weekend!
