Grandma Mead

 The Buschlen boys, some with more hair than others.

 Nana and Papa

 Jeremy's grandma Mead isn't doing so great health wise, so it was important for us to go up to Gladwin for her birthday.  She was turning 80.  I am so happy that we went.  We were able to see some of his aunts and uncles that we haven't seen in years.  We had a very nice lunch and visit with everyone.  Grandma isn't remembering people and its so sad to watch the confusion in her eyes. 

 These three girls always bring a smile to my face.  

 

Aunt Annette, her husband Dave, and Aunt Amy.  

 

Oh we were cracking up about this.  They thought it would be so funny to redo this photo from many years ago.  Poor Grandma didn't know what was going on but the sisters sure thought it was funny.  

All in all like I said I am so happy that we were able to go.

  We spent the weekend in Bay City anyway so the drive wasn't too bad.  Unfortunately we hung around too long on Sunday and got stuck up there because of the snow.  This was just the beginning of the crazy polar vortex weather we've been having.  The kids were off Monday Tuesday and Wednesday because of the snow storm.  We were able to make it home Monday afternoon but the roads weren't great and I was just happy to be home.  I'm hoping to get outside and take some pictures of the huge snow piles we have from the plows.  I don't remember this much snow ever and I am soooooo over it.  Come on Spring!

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.
