Eeekkkkk!!! my brother and sister in law are expecting and I'm so excited, in case you couldn't tell. Please be praying for KS2 and baby! I'm pretty sure baby is a boy, the Sommers girls have winter birthdays and the Sommers boys have summer birthdays and baby is due in May. but I had a dream that they had a girl (and she was preggers during this time) they just wanted to wait to announce after the safe zone! I'm so excited either way. They aren't finding out the sex of the baby, so auntie Kristin will just have to get lots of toys and I found out I have a lot of picture books, like Joe Mauer, Michelle Kwan, etc so yah for teaching my niece or nephew about my favorite athletes, better than I'm sure his or her daddy will be telling them about football, puke! LOL! I'm so excited to take baby Sommers to twins games and figure skating shows (obviously when they are older) and go skating and spoil him or her rotten and sugar them up and send them home! Hooray for being an auntie! and I'm going to be 35 in a couple weeks, eeekkkk!!! i feel so old! So sorry for the lack of updates, but now I will have lots! So many fun things coming up for me, I love this time of year! my birthday, Christmas, New Years (probably with deetie.. I hope!), Florida in Feb (yah!) and then baby Sommers coming in May! So excited!
PS Disney was so great over Halloween, but we'll probably stick with going in December and/or Feb. Also house is great!
PPS Can't wait to see my parents as grandparents, I'm so excited!!

Happy Father's Day/Birthday to my daddy! and updates, updates, updates
What the crankshaft??? its been 6 months (okay almost 7 months) since I've updated this blog and took a while to figure out how to log in, whoops!
1. I bought a house!!! EKKKK!!! so exciting, its a townhouse and so close to work, which is AWESOME! I have a second bedroom, and I'm not really sure what to do with it... I'm thinking murphy bed, office, work out room, but its kinda small, so I don't think it would function that well in that small of a space. Time to call the property brothers! LOL!
my parents have been so wonderful (as always) but especially during the house buying process and decorating (more mom than dad!) lol! my neighbor works at the va, so that's cool.
There is a super ugly death star like light (say that 5 times fast) that my mom and her friend finally got taken down and replaced, and the renovations took awhile. My mom painted almost all of the walls, still more painting to do upstairs, I got new wood floors (so pretty!) and we (and by we, I mean mom) redid the kitchen. It was oak and orange and mom painted the cabinets an espresso brown and the walls are now white.. yah! the previous home owner came by to pick up some mail and said she liked it, but I found out she is a professional clown (is that a term?) and I'm guessing all the crazy colors and lights were because of her profession, I'm guessing. lol.
so the reason why I am updating is because last Sunday was Father's Day, so that means my dad's birthday is right around the corner (in 2 days!) of course he won't read this, but I have been so blessed by my dad (and mom too.. note to self on Mothers day I locked myself and our family out of my house and had car issues, so it was more like calamity weekend!)
I'm such a daddy's girl and proud of it! He is one of my best friends (the others being my mom and sister, and Kristi Yamaguchi (she just doesn't know it!) i feel like I get my passion for things like figure skating, Joe Mauer (he had his number retired last weekend, and of course I cried when he got choked up... especially when he told his baby son Chip "you've missed it all, but I can't wait to tell you all about it. You and your sisters are my most special gift." oh my heart. but I digress... star wars, mn twins, and disney just to name some of my passions right now.
We celebrated father's day/dad's birthday/healthy heart (8 years now) last Sunday and it was so much fun!! dad declared in the morning that he wanted waffles so mom made up the batter and then we used grandma Dorothy's waffle iron, Jackie said she knew what we could get him next year, but he literally screamed NO! because hers is the best, I guess. lol!
I had an amazing cheat day with waffles and sausage and then we decided to take the pups for a drive to the gravel pit, dad only agreed when we all said we would go to the gravel pit, lol. he loves that thing and the pups love car rides. Mom, Jackie and I were squished in the back and Casey and Scoutie shared the front seat, such a rough life for pups!
After that we played cards... so much fun! Deetie and I almost beat the married couples in krebs, darn it! we gotta strategize for next time.
dad told us about the kimball post office bombing from way back in 1976 and there is a reward of 100,000 with anyone who has information, I want to solve it! just like that pod caster helped solve what happened with Jacob Wetterling all those years later....
Dad also told us how he had heard a song when he was a teenager and could never find it again, until last Sunday... so funny! a candy song or something, he was pretty excited!
all in all it was a fabulous weekend celebrating my amazing dada! love him so much and so blessed by him! Can't wait to go to disney in September. Can't believe its been almost 2 years since I've been down there, but now we are going for halloween since our favorite night show is ending :( but its a good excuse to go down there, especially with the new star wars land opening up soon! Happy fathers day, healthy heart and birthday to my daddy!
Saying a prayer to those kids without fathers or fathers without kids.

Happy New Year!
Once again I'm so sorry its been awhile since I've written, but I feel that no one reads my blog anyway and its just for me to go back... kinda like an online journal.
Anyway.... the holidays are over, kinda glad so I can get back on track with weight watchers (and suprised myself at the scale today, I lost the 3 pounds I gained over the holidays already) #victory
Christmas was amazing! we actually did things differently and did Christmas the weekend before just because Keylee and Kev were going to do Christmas with her family and I wasn't sure about my work schedule, but turns out I got the day off as personal leave, but then the president declared that the VA could close on Christmas eve, so I got it as a holiday! woot woot!
So much fun just being with my family and our dogs. Kev and Keylee's puppy Scouty is so big and she's actually been at my parents house for the past couple of weeks since KS2 had a weekend basketball tournament. Its been so nice having her so close, but I know KS2 will be excited to have the little terrorist back (family nickname, she just chewed up my dad's remote!) LOL! my dad of course was annoyed, but Scouty is just so cute I don't think anyone could stay mad at her. My mom thinks Casey is going to be so sad when her daughter goes back home with KS2 though. :( They've been having so much for the past two weeks playing and napping (life of dogs must be so rough!)
We also call Scouty wet head because when Casey first saw her again since KS2 took her home, she started to bit Scouty's head, so hence the nickname. LOL!
Christmas was so wonderful though... my favorite gifts included picture frames of the family from KS2 at their wedding, Jackie got me a tablet (yah!) and mom and dad got me an ice cream maker and Dole Whip mix, I'm so excited to use it!
We ended up being lazy all weekend, naps and movies, which was so great!
For new years I went to Jackie's place to ring in the new year. I actually joked with her that its weird that we planned this because growing up she would always complain when she had to entertain her little sister and my friends. LOL! we watched episodes of Scrubs, SNL skits, and kitten videos and the went to bed shortly after midnight! #weold
Well Happy New Year everyone! hope 2019 is the best ever!
PS Joe Mauer update... he did retire and his press conference was so hard to watch, I think I started crying two seconds in when he was tearing up but get this... him and his wife just had a baby boy, so maybe we'll have a future Mauer in a twins uniform in 18-19 years! yah! #loveyoujoeypatrick
