Helping out in any way I can at the school. Since I can't get into the school during the day, I cut, sort, re bag. Today, it's a FAMILY affair!

Birds, Birds everywhere.....

This is just one of the many birds we've had at our house lately. I will have many beautiful pictures of Birds to come....we love bird watching, and the many beautiful creatures that come and visit our home!

This is a picture that Tyler drew of our family in class. Although very plain because he's a boy.....it melted my heart! I love my children, my family is my world! I know that Tyler is 7 now, but I will always think of him as my baby. He has a very soft heart! I think he get's that from me. The love for my family is OVERWHELMING! Unconditional love is a mothers love.......passed on from my Grandmother (Verna Klubertanz) and my Mom...(Kay Klubertanz).....FAMILY IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Badger Basketball skills camp 2011

On Janruary 11th, This picture was taken at the Kohl Center inside the locker room of the University of Wisconsin's Womans Basketball Team. The girls went to a "skills camp" and got to practice with, eat with, and get autographs of the team. It was a huge thing for the girls and they LOVED it! Pictured with the girls is Taylor Wurth.

The Big Party!

For Megan's Party, she wanted to do something special. We went to the Regency on the East side of Madison. It's a beauty school. We had 7 girls, all from the Basketball team, and they went to get their hair, nails and Make-up done. I think they loved it...many of them took a pamphlet to take home to mom for their parties! They all looked BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! After the party we came home and had a pizza party and played a few games. Then the movies, watching Gremlins and Ramona and Bezzus. Great picks Megan!

Megan also wanted a special cake for the girls. She drew a  picture, took it in to wal-mart and they designed it for her. It's the picture she drew! She was SO excited that they did it right!

Dad's Retirement Party!

My sister and I planned a retirement party for my Dad. It was at the Landmark bar in De Forest. Dad retired from Head Casodian after 23 years. On his last day of emplyment on Jan 7th, the secretary Jo Blood walked him around at 3:20pm. She took him thru every hallway, as she took him around, every kid in the school came out and cheered as my Dad walked by the classrooms. It was very touching for him, and for my sister and I as he told us the story. We had a huge turnout, and he LOVED it!!!

On Friday January 7th, 2011, when we awoke in the morning, our heat was out. It was really cold that day, a high of 6 degrees, with a windchill of minus 6 degrees. I called Brian Dahl who works for Landmark and had him come to work on it....but this wasn't the first time. On Christmas eve it was out and John came to fix it, then again Christmas morning. We called John and he ended up calling Brian to come help him. They worked 4 hours on it, finally got it working. Only to end up kerplunking on us on Friday. When Brian tested the co2 levels, it was measured at 91 outside and supposed to be 20...they turned the furnace off right away, new part cost $700.00, or replace it. The furnace that was put in the home was used as a furnace in a mobile home...a cheap one...Rick Eager is a cheap ass!!!! whew I feel better! Anyways...they came in and 20 min later we had 4 Landmark guys putting in our furnace...it was finished by 4pm!

On New Years Day, we celebrated Christmas with my Sister and the family and my Father. Megan has a love for young children. She will be a great mother some day. Ella is 2 years old, and loves Megan just as much. This is my favorite picture of them ever taken. The girls played store and house all day. I love my family!
