The Weekend.

Chad and I had a really nice weekend. We actually roughed a whole basement. Chad has taught me a few electrical things so now I can help him and earn money while we are with each other. Its pretty cool. It was a huge basement too. I am pretty proud of myself. I earned alot of money over the weekend. My feet hurt but that is cool. I will be alright.

I started a new job last week as well. It is pretty nice. I help make eye glasses, so if any of you need eye glasses, I get a killer deal on them. I will just need your prescription and the frames and I can make them. I like the people and the job and it is only 4 miles from my house so that makes it all worth it.

We didnt have the kids this weekend but we get them next weekend and I think we will take them to Lagoon. They have been bugging us to take them but have not done so yet. Since we did that side job we figured we could do it. They will be happy. I am hoping that maybe we will be able to get Hayden to go on the Colausses (sp). He is terrified of them. We did get him to go on the white rollercoaster last year. Hannah is our little dare devil. She will ride anything. I may even get her on the "WICKED".

We sold Da 'getter (ford escort wagon) to Shayne. We gave him a really good deal on it so we hope it helps him out. We also would like to wish him the best of luck with all the fury that is packed under the hood. We figured we didnt need 4 cars, one motorcycle, four bikes and one pair of skates, when there are only 2 drivers. And for those of you who have been to the downtown area, or possibly to our house, you would know how the parking situation is, so, I'm sure our neighbors are thrilled as well.

Just a thought!

Its funny the things you learn in a day. Such as I just relearned how to do a cursive capital Q. Its been a long time since I have had to do one of those. Wow!
I also find it funny when you hear that someone who doesnt want anything to do with you anymore read your blog. Interesting. You would think they wouldn't care what was going on in your life. Just a thought!

"Big Pimpin" P-I-M-P

So exciting news for us, we just bought a new Lincoln Navigator. Its a 2000 and it only has 89,000 miles on it and we got it for only $6000. I know with the gas prices it seems absolutely absurd that we would purchase such a beast of the blacktop and the small fact that we already have a SUV that takes you on a scenic tour of all the gas stations in the valley, but, for the price, we couldn't pass it up. I love it. It is so nice and comfy. I checked and it gets from 16 to 18 miles to the gallon. The kids love it as well. The best part is the third seat in the back (of which the kids insisted upon sitting in the WHOLE TIME.)



This weekend we also had a yard sale. It was pretty fun with the kids. All they wanted was the money so they were selling things that they like for it. It ridiculous the power of money with them. We did pretty well, met some interesting characters along the way, and got rid of unwanted things. Now its off to the DI with the rest of the stuff we couldn't sell. All in all we did pretty well. The kids wanted to do it all day but after we didnt have any customers for 2 hours and you could faintly hear someone whistling and tumbleweeds were rolling down the block (come on people, think old westerns here) we figured it was time to pack it up and get on to other things.



Not much is happening with us. Things are very boring at the Wheelwrights. One thing that is constant here at the Wheelwright house is the fact that Hannah is always cracking us up. I had a really nice cake dish with a lid out for sale. It was glass and turned into a punch bowl. Hannah was dusting it off and asked us if it was one of those "Cookie putter in ers". I thought I was gonna die. She cracks us up.
