Okay, so an update on Eric and that guy who stole his identity! Eric and his friend Lj, did a little PI work. I think they might actually of had some fun too. They found out his new address, went over there and talked to his dad. His dad wouldn't tell them where he was, but did give them some of Eric's mail, and they got a bunch more mail from the mailbox at their old address. Amongst, the ton of mail, there was a verizon wireless letter and eric called and found out this guy's number cause he opened a verizon account in eric's name. Anyway, come to find out LJ knows who this guy is, because he used to work in his families car dealership in the installation department. So, he knew of this friend he had, and called this guy up pretending to be this friend. Apparantly this guy has stolen mutiple peoples identity's, he's a car theif and also steals stereo equipment. So Lj set up a meeting, saying he wanted some stereo equipment. After they set this up, they called the cops and told them the plan. Well, the guy ended not showing, we think he was parked across the street from where they were supposed to meet, watching. Eric talked to the cops for a long time and come to find out this guy has a warrant out for his arresst and the cops really want him. They thought they knew where he was staying, so they were gonna go check out this hotel. Couple days later Eric got a call from the police saying that they assigned a detective to Eric's case. And they went to the hotel where he was staying, he was gone, but they found eric's id along with a bunch of other peoples stuff. I'm so glad that atleast he won't be able to open anymore credit accounts. Now if they could just get him!!!!!!!!!

bunkbeds

So, we got the bunkbeds and have had them for about a week now. The boy's are absolutley loving them. We totally thought it would be hard to get them to go to sleep in the same room, but we haven't had any problems. We got some new bedding for them and are gonna redo their room. They look so cute laying in them. Kenden wanted the top bunk (of course), since he's the oldest we let him pick first. They're starting to understand that they both can't have the same thing, so when Kenden said he wanted the top, Tate just automatically said he wanted the bottom. I haven't downloaded pictures on to my computer yet, but I will post some soon.

tons of new.

I do apoligize! There is a whole load of new posts here! All the way down to the Feb. 25th one. There is like 7! That's alot!

Stolen Identity

I don’t remember if I posted about this, but in the beginning of February Eric got his truck broke into and his wallet stolen. Well even tho he didn’t have very much money in it and we canceled credit and debit cards. This guy has taken Eric’s Id and used it to try and open about 20 credit lines. We kept getting credit cards in the mail for like Wal-Mart, Best buy, Sears, etc. Even letters saying we had requested an address change. We checked his credit reports and this guy has even spent like over $2000.00 on these cards. I can’t understand how this guy has been able to do this since he doesn’t have Eric’s SSN. We have a description of him too, and he’s like shorter than I am. Eric’s like 6’2. We have the address he tried to change it too and his email. Turns out nobody is living at the address, but we have the names of the guys that lived there two weeks ago and one of them fits the description. (We talked to the neighbor) I am really hoping we can catch this guy.

It's finally happened

I’ve been just waiting for this one. Tate’s cage has finally reached its end. From all the abuse the bed has finally given out. He now has to sleep on his mattress on the floor, at least till tomorrow. We bought bunk beds….eeeeek…I am a little scared, but it’s time. Thankfully for about 2 weeks now Tate hasn’t had to be trapped in at night, he is finally staying. Yay! Oh ya, Eric's convinced that we are gonna be able to reuse this bed for the next baby. hahaha! yeah, right!

This picture dosn't do justice. It looked much worst.

Will you be my Valentine!

Oh, forgot to post a pic of Kenden’s Valentines he brought to school. And of the Valentines I made for all the girls at work. I got both these ideas from The Tip Junkie. I just love that blog!



These are candy bar cozies. They are made out of felt. The ones on Tip Junkie are much cuter, but whatever! The girls liked them.

Roar!

On Friday we went to Medford, cause Eric had business to attend too Saturday morning. Eric got the honeymoon suite for the extra room. It had a huge jet tub in it and the boys had the time of their lives in there.

Saturday the boy’s and I lounged around in the room while Eric worked. Then on our way home we surprised the boys and stopped at the Wildlife Safari. If you haven’t gone, it’s a must. This was our 2nd time with Kenden and Tate. The 1st time Tate was not even quite 1 so he slept most the time. Kenden love loved it. And they were so excited. Here are some pictures. The bears were still hibernating this time so we missed them, but got to see some other great animals. We really loved the 500 lb and 350 lb Siberian Tigers. The monkeys were also really fun to watch. Oh, and then of course, the Llamas. That was just gross. 2 of them were “getting down” in the middle of the road and would not move. We finally had to about go in the ditch to get around them. Good thing the boys didn’t get what was going on.

Brush them till they sparkle.

Wednesday, I took Kenden and Tate to the dentist. They have a checkup every 6 months. This was the first time Tate actually held still. I usually have to hold him upside down tickling him, so that can look in his mouth. They were actually able to polish this time. He only got mad when the dentist called him General. He shouted at him saying “I not enral, I TATE-tate.”


Kenden of course is a pro and does awesome all the time. They love going to the dentist, so they can see “Nemo” There is 2 huge fish tanks and in one there is a clownfish they freak everytime they see him.

Anyways, I was told the boy's teeth looked fantastic. I am so glad. The only thing is Kendens molars have come in so I have to start flossing those. He's not too sure about that yet. He actually, told me that he didn't think it was such a good idea.

Weekend of the 21st!

Every year at this time they have the Eugene Logging Conference. Eric and his dad have a booth at the fairgrounds for it. So after we got back from Klamath, they started setting up Monday, bringing a bunch of equipment in. Early mornings, and late evenings. The actual log show started on Thursday. They have dinners on Thursday and Friday evenings. My mom usually comes up and watches the boys for us, cause of all the craziness. I wasn't able to attend Thursday’s dinner because my mom didn't get up here till Friday afternoon. Friday night is the bigger night anyway, they have a super nice dinner and auction. It's held at the Hilton. This year Eric got us a room at the Hilton, it was so nice being able to spend some time alone. At the auction Eric’s dad and step mom bought me some pearl and diamond earrings. They are so beautiful, and I wasn't even expecting it. Then Eric bought me a necklace and a bracelet. I got like 2 valentine weekends in a row.






That same weekend I also had my friend Lexi's baby shower to go to in Albany. I was in charge of the games. And of course it wasn’t until last minute that I was able to get all the supplies for them. I think people ended up liking them, tho (well, I hope). Also, last minute I decided I wanted to make her a diaper cake and labels for her clothes hangers. It was my first time making either one of these things and they both turned out better than expected. I didn't get a picture of the labels, but here's the diaper cake (classic pooh theme).
