Total Randomness

So we're snowed in.  Unfortunately not snowed in at our own home, snowed in at my in-laws.  Not the worst place to be.  Its warm, we're all together and works been cancelled for tomorrow.  We did try to make it home.  We got about 5 miles down the expressway and Jeremy turned around, I begged my boss to close my center and hell froze over.  I CANNOT believe we are closed.  I imagine the roads are as bad down home as they are up here.  Actually we were told it was worse the further south you went, I think that's what made Jeremy turn around.  He figured if we couldn't see the road and the suburban was sliding all over up here we wouldn't make it home.
 We are up in Bay City for Grandma Meads birthday party.  It was worth the trip for sure but I'll be happy to get home but for now I looked through my phone and found some pictures that I've taken over the last few weeks.
This picture was taken at Meijers.  I know those duck guys have all sorts of merchandise.  We've bought a few things here and there.  But does anybody reading this blog watch Duck Dynasty???  Wasn't there an episode about Willie wanting to have a wine and it turned out nasty??  Am I crazy? So did they produce the nastiness or come up with some new recipe?  I didn't buy any, wasn't feeling like wine.  Although as I sit here snowed in I'm thinking I wouldn't mind a glass.


This picture was taken at Walmart and it doesn't due the parking job of the jerk next to me any justice.  I was still sitting in my car when this truck pulled into the spot next to us.  He was so close I thought for sure he would back out and straighten up.  Oh no he stayed there AND he had a ton of room on the other side so he could've reparked it.  If I would've been leaving I could've easily hit him.  I was so mad.  
Got these two beauties in my Christmas stocking.  Santa knows what mama likes, lol.  Kind of wishing I had them with me right now. 
What would you mix them with? Or just drink them straight??

Why oh why is it my daughter making that face.  Goofball.  She loves the photo booth, most of her pictures turn out this way.
And finally ewwwwwww
This nasty guy was under some files that were on the floor of my office.  I almost died when I picked up the files.  After taking a picture I quickly squished him and put us both out of our misery. I'm sure he was miserable right?
 
So that's it for now.  I'm sure I have several more "taken for no reason" photos on my phone. Maybe along with my new recipe a week post I'll do a random iphone photo post. 
Once we make it home tomorrow I will upload the photos from Grandma Meads 80th birthday party and blog about that.  We had a great time.

Independance Day Holiday

We spent 5 days up in Bay City at the state park this year over the 4th of July.  It was so hot!
Thank God we had air in our camper.
Our little Tucker is getting to be a pretty good camper. 
It was so nice having so many family members out there camping also.
Aunt Kathy and Uncle Den, Amber and Chad, Josh and Allison and even mom and Terry were there in their new 5th wheel.  A lot of sitting around complaining about the heat.
On Saturday we went downtown to watch the 50th anniversary of the Bay City fireworks.  They were shooting off 50,000 fireworks in 50 minutes. 
Jacob and Chase hanging out before the fireworks started.
Sarah, a little nervous about the fireworks.  She's not a huge fan of the noise so she wasn't too sure she wanted to be there.
My cousin Ambers daughter Hailie, cutie.

Sarah was responsible for keeping her in the circle of chairs that we made so she wouldn't escape. 

I've never seen fireworks as amazing as these.  I have no idea how they are going to top that next year.  I'm happy to say we were there for the 50th anniversary.  I told my kids that maybe they'll bring their children and grandchildren to the 100th anniversary in another 50 years.
As nervous as she was she was able to take photos on her new ipod touch.  She has like a hundred photos on her ipod.  When it was all done, she said "that wasn't so bad"  So maybe we've overcome the fear of fireworks.  Maybe we can actually stay and watch the fireworks at Disney now.
My handsome son, with his crazy face and sparklers.
hanging out in the camper, out of the heat!  It was so unbearable!
We were able to sneak in a trip to the Turkey Roost with the Buschlen side of the family. 
mmmmm we love it there.
Joel and Sherry
After three days in the heat we finally went in search of a beach.  Terry suggested this little lake in Alger.  It was so nice.  We put our chairs right in the water and hung out for a couple hours.  It was so nice to cool off.

Lots of amazing memories were made over this holiday.  Being with family makes me so happy.  I wish that we all lived close.  Although if we did maybe I wouldn't appreciate being with them all the time. 
Happy 4th of July
