The best april fool’s prank I have ever pulled:

By , 1 April, 2011, 1 Comment

Last year I pulled the greatest prank of my life. My daughters birthday is in April and so I decided after seeing something similar on Prudent Baby that I would send IRS tax audit letters as my daughters birthday invitations.

My friends and family were livid to be exact. I definitely made some heads roll.

These are not just your typical letters oh no. I used the real logo and tax envelopes. They looked legit. The best person’s reaction had to be hearing my husband’s voice when he was opening the letter I sent to his business. It was priceless.

My boss actually helped me put them together and make them look as official as possible, he’s a lawyer.

My daughters birthday invitation was put on the last page but I think only 2 people saw it. Most people just started freaking out then when they got to the signature and saw my name they called me immediately. It was awesome! I can’t recall the number of times I heard ” I hate you!” but it was a lot!  They also said  they were going to kill me.  Ha! I’m still alive!

Here is the letter, I don’t have my original but I found this one on Prudent Baby which is where I originally got the template before I tweaked it.

You can download your own copy to customize HERE.

I picked up some of these envelopes at Staples. You can get them at any office supply store.

I sent them out two days before April Fool’s and all of them arrived on April Fool’s day! It was a SUCCESS!

Come support a great cause!

Snowpocalypse 2011- 3 days of fun!

By , 4 February, 2011, No Comment

We had 3 great snow days from Snowpocalypse 2011. We received 12 inches of snow at our house. Also a five foot drift on our porch!  Thank you to OC for keeping me safe and letting me stay home with my family. I loved having my sister and her family so close. The first day we were snowed in they came over to hang out with us. We played Just dance on the Wii. This is a super fun game. It’s funny seeing everyone dance. They also joined us for dinner for Home made chicken Pot Pie. It turned out good I think. I baked a lot on this break and enjoyed cooking. Graysen and I played, painted and yes she helped me cook and make cupcakes. We played on Stringer Mountain right outside our door though some would argue that it looks more like a shark that is out to get us. Graysen, Landon and I enjoyed sledding on it. I made crafts, cleaned and enjoyed being home with my family. Thank you god for the beautiful snow. Did I mention that we are supposed to get more next week. Here are some photos from the fun week we have had.

Graysen’s First Hospital Stay

By , 22 September, 2010, 1 Comment

I thought I would explain how this mess happened. Friday Graysen had a bit of a runny nose, by Saturday it turned into coughing by Sunday night she was up all night! I mean up all night! Monday morning she was not breathing well so we were going to head to Amarillo to get her checked. while packing she got blue, pale and lethargic so we called 911 and met the ambulance. Monday Graysen was admitted to the hospital. She got poked and prodded. They stuck her for an IV several times and again for blood draws. I will include a picture of the battle wounds. She had a chest X-ray and all of this pointed to viral pneumonia. her oxygen levels are not staying up well. It is now Wednesday night and she is back on oxygen. Guess we will be here for a while. Here are some photos of the adventure! Please PRAY for Miss G!
