HELPING OUT!!

UPDATE:

Proud Mom moment here, my sweet little boy came off the bus today all giddy and then he pulled out a big old envelope with all these cards. Without me knowing he asked his teacher if they could make some more cards for Oliver. There is so many of them and I can not wait to go mail them tomorrow. I can't tell you what a sweet boy Caleb is and I am so proud of him. It was hilarious to read all these cards and see how cute all these kids were. I really hope this will make him smile when he opens these up:)

All the cards, there are a ton of them they are all stacked on top of each other.

Caleb's card.

I love the drawing of him and Oliver being buddies!!

I have this weird thing I love to blog stalk people and especially sad ones. My friend Laurie makes fun of me on a daily basis but for some reason it helps me put into reality how lucky I really am and makes me count my blessings daily. So as I was reading one tonight the mother of a 10 year old boy who has DIPG or a Pediatric Brainstem Cancer asked for everyone to "Share the love" and send her son who has only weeks or days left a Valentine's Day card to show him how loved he is. First off NO one should ever have to watch their child suffer like this cute kid Oliver has. So I had this feeling that my kids really needed to make him a card. So I grabbed the kids and showed them a little about the blog and explained to them he will be going to heaven soon and that he would love to read some cards before he does. So we got to work and made him some special cards and it was such a GREAT experience for my kids. They kept asking questions about him and wanted to know more. Even as we were going to bed tonight saying prayers they prayed for Ollie. So I challenge whoever reads this to pull out some paper and crayons and make Ollie a card. Do it sooner then later due to his health and I promise you, you will feel like you made a difference. If you are interested in reading his blog it is oliverpalmer.blogspot.com and his address is:

Caleb and Peyton's Card

Quinn was gone when we did this and when he got home we showed him and he was like "that's great but it's not the Ohio Hawkeyes it's Iowa" Whoops maybe he will get a good laugh out of it. :) Oliver really liked the Hawkeyes thats why Caleb drew it.

DATE NIGHTS!!

We have had two fun date nights in the last 2 weeks with some GREAT people!!

First off was the freaking hilarious Brian Regan.

We went with Ben and Laurie, and Laurie's sister Lindsey and Ben's brother Dallas and yes Lindsey and Dallas are married. Those girls just couldn't stay away from those George boys!!

ZAC BROWN

Then a couple of days later the Burt's hooked us up with Zac Brown tickets. We hit up Melting Pot for dinner and 3 1/2 hours later we were on our way to the concert. Only to pay $10.00 to park and then see the guy walk away after we payed and went home. Really dude you couldn't let us go with out paying? Then we got to run a mile in the 50 MPH (not really sure the MPH) :) wind/snow combo. I wanted to try and salvage my hair so I put my purse over my head and started to run only to find out then when I got into the building my purse was not zipped up and lost everything out of it. So of course being the smart lady I make my EVER so happy husband go back out in that BLIZZARD to find everything. Luckily we were able to find everything except my phone. A while later Quinn's phone rings and it's me calling him:) some VERY nice person found it and turned it into a security guard. Thank heavens there is still honest people in this world!!

Thanks Burt's for taking us and all I can say it's good to know the Burt's:)

Don't mind the hair. The crown of the head looks great that stayed dry but unfortunately the 90% of the rest of the hair didn't pan out as well!!
