Family Pictures

We recently had Haase Family Pictures taken. We wanted to have them taken outside, but it was raining that day. We started in the shed and once it stopped raining we moved outside. But couldn't get as many shots as I had hoped because of the mud and it was hard to get Nick around. But we got some good ones.

A Day at the Spa

Saturday I went to Omaha for the day with a few of my favorite ladies. (my mother, mother-in-law, my cousin Cindy, my friends Amanda & Heather and Heather's mom Sue) I set up a "Spa Party" at The Velvet Chair Spa and Salon in Omaha for my b-day (well post birthday).

I had scheduled a Pedicure with an extra foot massage and a 30 minute massage. This was the first time I had ever had a pedicure and I fell in love with it. They massage my feet, gave me a really awesome sugar scrub and painted my toes a pretty purple with glitter. And well my Massage.....it was just awesome! The other gals got a some Pedicures, some Manicures, Massages and Amanda got a facial that she said was awesome.

This place was so much fun, we had a little room all to ourselves where we could see what everyone else was getting, (except the massages, of course) and we all chit chatted, laughed, were waited on and just had a great time. We're definately planning another one!!! It was just a fun and relaxing day.....

Road Trip

This past weekend I went on a Road Trip with my friend Heather. Her and her husband and their two daughters will be living in Ottowa Illinois. Her husband, Curt, started his job at PetSmart on Monday, so they went out to look at their apartment, move and unpack their boxes. Heather and the girls will be moving out there once Heather finds a job, right now she is working in South Sioux and living with her parents here in Wayne. I went out with them to help watch their youngest daughter, Kellan, and to ride back to Wayne with Heather.

Ottowa is a really nice town, about 18,000 people, they have a really cute downtown and two rivers, the Fox River that meets up with the Illinois River. Ottowa is about 1 1/2 hour from Chicago.

This is Kellan

Their trailer full of all their boxes -- That's Curt

Curts Dad, and his younger brother also drove out with us,
so the 3 guys basically moved in all the boxes and furniture.

On our way home on Monday we made a few stops along the way. We first stopped at the Worlds Largest Truckstop in Davenport, IA -- Iowa 80. It wasn't as exciting as I was expecting, but it was pretty big. We made a few other stops along the way and got to Wayne around 7 p.m.

The one thing that was funny once we got into Illinois was these road construction signs. Heather and I just found them really funny!

Happy Birthday #28

I recently celebrated my 28th birthday with a dinner out with Nick, My Parents, Nick's Parents, and Nick's oldest brother, Rick, his wife Mindy and our niece Kierah. We went to the Olive Garden in Sioux City for dinner. We had an awesome meal and a FREE birthday cake!!! The next evening I had all my friends over for a little birthday party. We played Guitar Hero and had a few drinks!! It was a good birthday -- I even had 4 birthday cakes!!!! One from the Olive Garden, two that my friend Amanda brought me and I had picked up an ice cream cake from the Coldstone Creamery!! Who knew that much cake would make me so happy!!!!
