ALL GOOD THINGS GO TO THOSE WHO TAKE

What a way to start bloging again, but here it goes. On friday April 1st our house was broken into. Not an april fools joke. Rob came home around 8:30 and got Matt off to bed and then went upstairs to find a big mess. Papers everywhere cloths out of the drawers and quite a few things missing. I got quite a surprising phone call at work. I came home right away. Come to find out someone had broken throu our frount door, took our camera full of picts not downloaded yet, 40 DVDs, our old x-box, robs laptop, a leather coat and a laundry basket to carry it all in. Also a few idetity papers. Most of these things are all replacible, I was sad for a bit but things could be worse. I am just glad no one got hurt. I do however get to mop up our personal stuff. I had a hard time just leaving the house or staying home for that matter. On that monday Robs work let him stay home to fix our frount door. He did a great job fortfying that sucker so if it ever happens again who ever tries they will be a hurting unit. The one thing that could help is if anyone has any picts from Matts birthday or halloween or Christmas. If you could share them with me I would be greatfull.

Missing Matt

Matthew has been down in Alabama with SueAnn, Rachael visiting the Roderick Family. They will have been gone 3 weeks before I get to see him again. At first it was sort of nice and after a week I started going a little crazy so I have been keeping my self busy. We cleaned the garage and the basement. Rob is working on a little painting project for me. And Over this last weekend I was at work because we had a coach come in and work with all our students so I was their 10 hours a day Sat. Sun. and Mon. With all that it has been keeping my mind off missing my little boy. On top of that my car sprung a leak. It started with a new radiator and has escalated to a missing engine. We won't know what is going to happen to my fantastic little car for a little while so in the mean time I am driving Rose's car. I hate shopping for cars so I hope we can get it fixed. I miss my zippy little car.

On a happier note I fly out Thur. morning to go see Matt and spend a weekend in Alabama before returning home with him Mon. I hope he misses me as much as I miss him.

I Got A Play Date

I was able to go over and visit Sarah, Morgan and Shelby the day of the floods. Lucky for Sarah I didn't have to go into work right away so I was able to help her out. It is strange to find how same and different Matt and Morgan are. They are really growing up and becoming little people. Hard to remember they start out as little as Shelby. Both girls have very soft skin it must be all the water their mom drinks.

Morgan loves any attention given to her, she will either be a big help or keep mom on her toes. Just look at this ham!!

I caught Shelby smiling, or releasing some pressure, I like to think it's smiling. She looks just like Morgan so fare I can't wait to see how she will look in a few months.

Hot Summer Days

It gets very humid in Wisconsin as most of you know, so lately Matt and I have been doing water activities. We have a little zero depth pool near our house that Matt and I went to to cool off, he had so much fun!!

Yes that is my finger but the look on his face was just so cute!!

We also set up a sprinkler in the back yard . . . . . . .

I'm just glad he loves the water so much.

2010 Moss Reunion

We had so much fun over the 4th of July weekend! Rob and I both took off work so we could play with everyone. It was great to see everyone who made it and we missed those who couldn't. It was a jam packed fun few days. We went swimming . . . .






Had 4-wheeler rides (ya that's Hunter). . . . .


We had the kids do crafts . . . .





Ok some big kids too.

A talent show . . . .

Calvin even helped clean up, Thanks Cal!

And of course fireworks, this time all the neighbours gathered around to watch also, I think the Moss' are getting a reputation for this kind of thing.

I had to put that one in Rob is actualy smiling!!!!!!




Our little contibution to the Moss family How Cute is HE

And all the cousins minus three . . . .

All in all a great time was had by all. It was sad to see everyone go but we did make plans to have another one in 2013 which we are looking forward to.

OH NO THE BIG 3 - 0 !!!

Friday the 25th of June I celebrated my third decade of life. I was able to go out to brunch with Matt's two grandmas and Cindy and SueAnn. Then off to work where we had a Caribbean theme party. It was lots of fun. I had Rob bring Matt out for a little while so I could be with them on my birthday. The studio got me a cake and made a big deal out of it for me.

I didn't start to celebrate till the next day. I got to sleep in till 10am! I had to go in to work for a little bit but it wasn't bad. Then Rob and I got to go out to dinner just the two of us it was nice. I asked everyone for a wal-mart gift card so I could get a nice new camera for my birthday and it worked! Soon I will have fun pictures to go along with this (and I wont write as much). The only person who didn't listen was Rob he got me an i-pod touch. I love it!!! I don't have a CD player in my car just a tape deck (old school) so Matt suffers now I can play songs he can sing to. Thanks Hubbie : )

Some people say turning thirty sucks, some say they enjoyed them better than the 20s. For me it feels like I'm still 22 I just know a think or two more, however I still act like I'm 18. I hope I can stay feeling young a while longer so life stays fun. I look better than other thirty year olds I know so I have that going for me. I'm waiting for it to catch up with me.

I'm 30 and what do I have to show for it?: A fabulous Hubbie, a wonderful child, good health, a fine house and loving family.
What elts could a girl want? $$

Fathers Day

For fathers day I asked Rob what he wanted to do and he told me fishing. So bright and early off he went. That gave me some time to go visit my father with Matt. We got to play in the sandbox and clime up in the fort (I don't think any one has done that in 10 years or more). From there I meet Rob at the Home Dump to give Calvin his fathers day card and bug him a little, it keeps the fire in his eyes going. Then Rob went to help his brother and I went home to clean and etc. We had a barbecue and had the evening together as a family. Rob is really a great dad, he gets in and helps out and loves spending time with Matthew. Matthew got his dad a biking shirt some movies and a home made card for fathers day. I got him a four wheeler. I knew someone who was getting rid of theirs so I took it and gave it to Rob, everyone at the Moss house is enjoying it seeings as how our house is too small to keep it.

In other happy news my Brother and his wife Sarah were able to come home from the hospital with their new baby girl Shelby on fathers day. She is so tiny and sweet. Check out their blog for pictures of the happy family. What a special day for them.
