Argh!

It's been a while since I posted and since I don't have anything fun or exciting to report, I will bore you will a few recent things. ;)

Sunday Hagen got sick with the stomach bug that is going around. He threw up a few times (1 time ALL OVER ME) and had a slight fever. He is still sick this morning. Thankfully he hasn't thrown up since Sunday, but he has a really harsh cough, a sore throat, and running nose. Poor little stink! It is so hard to see them so miserable and not be able to do much for them. I think if he continues like this I am going to have to break down and take him to the dr. No fun!

Well Monday since Hagen was sick I only worked part of a day. Chase is on swing so he was home with him in the morning and I was staying with him in the afternooon. Chase got in the shower shortly after I got home and lost water pressure. We thought it was kinda strange, but didn't put too much thought into it. After he left for work I went down to the laundry room and put some clothes in the wash. When I went to move them to the dryer there was water all over the floor. My dad came over to help me figure out the problem, but we couldn't really see a leak in any of the lines. After moving the washer, we found a spot in the floor that was sunk in. I tore all the flooring up (and a bunch of other crap) to find a drain that we had no idea was there! The previous owners had covered it with vinyl flooring and never even told us about it!! We figured since we don't have a leak, a drain line must be plugged and it is pushing all the water up through that drain. And apparently it was doing it for a while with the amount of water that was there. Fun for us! I guess I can look at the bright side....we are redoing the flooring in the kitchen and the hallway next weekend. Now I get new flooring in the laundry room too. YAY!

On a fun note, I have been working on baby shower invitations for Brandy's shower next weekend. I love that kinda stuff! Hope all is well with you guys! Love you all.

Baby Shayde

YAY! We welcomed a new niece this weekend. Baby Shayde Lyn Ostler was born January 30 at 10:27 a.m. weighing 8 lbs 5 ozs and was 20 1/2 inches long. We are so she is finally here! Poor Brea was induced Friday afternoon because of high blood pressure. The Magnesium they were giving her for the blood pressure was canceling out the PIT that they were giving her to induce labor. Her labor stopped Friday evening so Saturday morning they decided to take the baby by c-section. Baby and Mommy are both doing well and should be released tomorrow from the hospital.

We just want to tell Chad and Brea congrats and we love you! Hagen is already attached to her and told Chad that Shayde is his baby not Chad's. ;)

Scary Day

I am sure you all have heard about Monica's scary day the other day, but here is a Quick post with some pictures of her car. If you had the chance to see it, you know it looks much worse in person because you get the full effect of the damage instead of seeing just sections of it. She is doing well, just a little sore. The real story is she seemed to have been stopped headed East at 200 E. Main and he hit her from behind. Her car then spun around and hit a tree. After the initial hit, his throttle stuck and the truck accelerated forward hitting the cement porch of some one's house. The truck tipped upside down and came to a rest. There was minimal damage to the house, but I think both vehicles are toast. I just want to tell everyone on behalf of Monica and our family that we appreciate all the thoughts, prayers, and support.

This is the rear end of her car where he hit her.


This is the passenger side of her car where she hit the pole.
