My Birthday

I guess I will just have to suck it up and admit that I'm getting old. Today I turned plenty-seven. my day started nicely with Paul calling me from Buffalo at 1:30 am to be the first person to wish me a happy birthday. Then I got up to go to work and got stuck in the driveway, I was really upset, and quite disconcerted because I didn't know who I could call to help me at 7:15 in the morning (Dustin was all ready working, Dad just had a heart attack, Jody's husband had surgery on his leg yesterday) and the neighbors just waved as they drove down the street. I finally called Jody and asked her if she would steer while I pushed. She came out to help and about 5 neighbors showed up and pushed me out. THANK YOU ALL!!!!!! when I finally got to work my day went better, My friend Julie made a special lunch, and Lindsay made a cake and all the residents helped me celebrate. After work Krystal brought me a yummy pumpkin desert, then I went to Tonyas and had a yummy dinner and she made a chocolate cake for desert (it was supposed to be a surprise, but her husband told) I guess that I'm pretty spoiled and am going to be on a sugar high for a week! Thank you everyone for making my birthday special!!! I Love You All!!!

Christmas 2008

Ashley and Brayden open their gift from Uncle Dustin and Krystal first!

Fred had lots of fun helping all of us open presents!

As you can see the rest of us had lots of fun also!

We have a new member in our family. Her name is Lucy. She used to live with Kim Ashley and Brayden, but Kim and Dustin decided that she would fit in here pretty good. She is a lot of fun but she is also a lot of dog.

A quick Fred funny

Yesterday Jody asked if i could get her girls to school for her and I was putting a bag of rollo's away when they came over so Fred says "gimmie some chocate treat:" I asked her what the magic word is and she said "please you bootifull can I have chocate treat now" I had to give her three of them. because anyone who is smart enough to call me beautiful at 8 am deserves chocolate. (just so you know this isn't how we send Fred to school Ijust found an older picture. we do fix her hair for school)

Update on Pop

pop is doing good! woo hoo!!! he had a small heart attack but there was very little damage. Thank god. and he is home trying to eat healthier and quit smoking. He says that he feels good and is in great spirits. Thank you all who sent us positive thoughts and prayers they were listened to and answered. Thanks again We love all of you!

Jody thought that I had better explain why I changed the title of my blog from crazy days with Hauntie to crazy days with Leslie, well the sad reason is that my Fred just calls me Leslie now or Auntie like the older kids. It brakes my heart that they are all growing up so fast. I'm afraid that I'm going to blink and all of them will have out grown needing me.

Kim tagged me

Ok this was the photo I came up with I was goofing around playing with my new camera. the flowers were in LuAnn's yard. Now I tag Hannah, Kari, Loopy, and Alan and Jenny. All you have to do is go to your photo files and use the 4th photo from the 4th file.
