Great News

Jayce Kringen is out of surgery and he is coming home next week. The got to take the whole tumor out which gives him a great chance of recovery with chemo and radiation. I know I speak for their whole family when I say thank you for all of the prayers and they will still need the prayers in the months to come. I will keep you posted. The most embarrassing thing happened tonight at Applebee well I guess it is not embarrassing but still David had projectile vomit there I think he has stomach flu which I hope he does or he got food poisoning from the pop. So as I was leaving I heard the lovely hostesses discussing out loud that they did not want to clean up throw up. I should of told them that I cleaned it up that is why I asked for 2 wet towels and anyways it was all over him and me. So puke on you. Well I better go now. Later folks OH Yeah I forgot I got my Satellite receiver back and thank you god. But I have now figured out that I like to watch fox and Dr Phil so puke on you Satellite.

IM BACK!!!!!

Hello all I have missed you while I was in Minneapolis. HA HA My Michigan won and My Vikings won wooooohooooooo. I had a blast shopping and eating out no more for a long long long long long long time. Anyways I came back and well we ended up getting bad gas in our van and well we have to wait to run it out before we can fill it up again. And my husband decided before we left to unplug TV and stuff and computer and well when we came back I tried to turn on my Satellite and well the hard drive is fried. So now I have to watch 2 channels which are very fuzzy thanks to my son Alek who threw a soft soccer ball up to the ceiling and fall on our antennas now I can not even get them back clear. Well on a sad note one of Aleks friends and Viktorias Friend brother Jayce Kringen well he is in desperate need of prayers they found a brain tumor and he is down in Rochester to Mayo clinic and having surgery and then I found out today that it is Brain Cancer he is only 7 and one of Aleks best friends. They love playing together. I know that his parents are praying hard and so am I and my family. I don't know how I could go through that without God and my faith. I just pray and hope that he gets better. Will keep you posted through out the ordeal.

Trying to beat the storm

We are leaving today because of a huge winter storm coming tonight. It is suppose to be really bad in the central part of the state and we have to go through there to get to fargo tomorrow so I called the hotel we are staying at and asked if we could have the same room tonight and tomorrow he said no problem thank you super 8. We got a huge room with a king bed and a double bed and a sofa bed. Then this morning I heard coughing outside my room and I opened the door and David said I puke. So then I cleaned it up it was not much so now I have a sick kid trying to pack getting things situated for our trip and now a sick kid better take plastic bags and towels oh boy. I hope it doesn't go to the whole family. Well we have 4 new years of a brand new president. Thank you for all who voted. I am proud to say that I did vote for Obama and thank god he won. I hope he will do good in January. Well I better go now and finish up packing. Im taking alot of pics and will post them when I get back next thursday.

Halloween Fun

Halloween was a blast the kids enjoyed it alot it started at 345 and me and my friend Julie went to Trail of Treats and she is alot like me she trips alot (like to know that there are more people out there like me make me feel less stupid) Then we went home and ate dinner and went around the block and my children had melt downs so came home around 730 and about an hour later put the kiddos to bed and relaxed then I went to bed about 1000 holy cow thats early. But the children got up I hid their treat bags and then made breakfast and then let them dig into the candy so now there candy is all gone and thank you god so is mine. Now is the time for a diet......... well after my Vacation which is in 3 more days YIPPEEEEEEEEE. I don't have any pictures of the children in their Halloween costumes because when Brian left for Alberta he took the camera I will though get them back in and take some more they will love it... Hope to post pics soon.

Spiders

I wonder what my youngest son saw in his room. He freaked out over a fly on the ceiling and thank God that when I threw up my slipper the fly decided to stay and die. he was a good fly but his life was cut short by a slipper. Then after I tucked them into bed (Alek and David) David started to cry and yell about spiders, he came out and was really upset about spiders and I asked him to show me the spiders he kept pointing to the ceiling and I said there is no spiders there I checked under the beds no spiders. The I tucked them in again and as soon as I got Viktoria into bed I heard Spiders. So I then went back in there and said that there are no spiders in there because they are in the garbage. "lets see" SO then I took David to the garbage and tried to show him some specs in the garbage that I called spiders. He wanted me to dig in the garbage and show him I said no way your stinky diapers are in there. So then I once again tucked them both into bed and I atleast got about 10 mins alone before yup you guessed it spiders. I then told David that there are no spiders in the room because the cats eat the spiders where he said I said that its in there tummy and then I tickled his tummy and he finally went to bed and so far so good no more spiders in his mind but Alek did say that he wanted to see the spiders in the morning you know mom the spiders that are in the garbage. Please God put some spiders (fake ones please) in my garbage just to pacify my 2 wonderful and fearful sons. I love them and I love my daughter. One year ago I thought I would loose my wonderful Alek, he had to be hospitalized for severe croup. It was the most scariest thing I have ever want to feel again. The worst of it was just sitting there and watching him trying to catch his breath waiting on the slow doctor Alek starting to panic and was just looking at us and wondering why weren't we helping. Finally the Respiratory Nurse God Bless him said screw it we have to do something or we will loose him. Hearing those words I almost had to leave the room but all I could do is smile at Alek and scream inside. But no more on the past he is fine and healthy and the jumpiest kid I know, and is so sweet. I love him and David and Vik and Brian sooooooooooooooooooooo Much It will never overflow. Now my husband hugs me more because I have always told him I like to hug (see ladies they do listen) My boys hug me all the time they really love the tight hugs. But I suppose I need to get my hugged body to bed. Love you all....... Stephanie Kay Chinquist

Gone again

Big news my husband is gone again this time he is going to Beaverlodge Alberta Canada that is 17 hours away. 959 miles one way. So no trick or treating for him and again I have to do it by my self. I did buy him a costume but I am returning it and Alek decided to be a cop and Viktoria decided to be Hanna Montana ( I really don't like her Hanna montana) So I have to return 3 costumes and that is ok I don't have the reciepts but I have to buy cat litter and cat food and bones for my dog. I will just trade out hopefully or get a gift card whatever. I am sad that he has to be gone but thats all right more money for our trip. Which is in 8 days WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO still no spa but that is ok I still get an hour massage and a pedicure. Maybe I will get my hair done too in Minneapolis who knows I am just excited to go to a big city that for the first 4 years of our marrige we went there almost every other weekend. It was great. I am excited to shop shop and more shop. To see the Michigan Wolverines kick the Minnestoa gophers butt, and to see the Vikings kick packers butt. I am excited that I don't have to make up my own bed (but I will) and that Kids eat free at the Holiday Inn. I will have to take pictures of everything oh boy I wish I had a better camera but one day soon. I will have to not write anything when I get back and just post pictures. Hey have you guessed that I am excited. My sister is taking care of my dog and so we are leaving on Thursday at 7:00 in the morning that means I have to get everybody up at 6:00 but they can sleep in the car if they want. I have a lot to do so I better get a head on it I am a bit of a procrastinator. OH well.

Decision time

Well yesterday I was in a horrible mood. I paid bills, well guess what I over spent again (it happens alot) So I had to cut down on my minimum payments on my Credit Cards, and then rearrange some other stuff. So today I am Chilaxin. Now if I was my husband I would feel stupid. He got paid 3 times in August and I wanted to pay off our credit cards that have small balances he said no lets pay a big amount on our big balances I said why. He said and I quote " that makes no sense to pay off our small bills when the big ones need the most attention" No way did he say that not to rag on men but STUPID he does not know, he does not pay the bills, he does not know he does not know. So my logic behind it was lets get the small ones out of the way so we can pay more on the big ones. when I asked him that over the phone it was really quiet so quiet I could hear crickets. Now I think back and I wonder if he thinks back and realize how stupid it was not to get some cards out of the way instead of still paying on them and the big balance ones. (big sign and I did roll my eyes) it still bothers me. Well ladies I have decided not to get the 6 hour spa, I am going to just get an hour and a pedicure, I know I am sad too but it will save us money and maybe I can guilt him into some stuff. I also think Brian gets paid again three times in January so I will not tell him what I am doing, when I pay off our credit cards. Well I know that I am going to vote next tuesday but still undecided. Time to go and eat. Blog more later.
