WORK LIFE~ it's all I have:)

This is my work badge picture. cute huh? not really


I work at Northwest Research in the Sales section of the company. We are a freight management company and I get all the garbage. I'm Team Lead over my area in the books section of the Online department and I work under the sweetest lady on the planet, Suzanne Drysdale. It's a good job I guess, I just wish I felt like I was acheiving more when I actually do get work done but it always seems like there is never an end to it. Oh well, it pays the bills and until Tim finishes school I can't stop unless I have a baby...hmmmm that gives me an idea...;)

even Penny got in on the action. I love my dog so much and she is always so cute, even when she's naughty. Even though my dad acts like he doesn't like her, I've heard him schmooze her a couple times to get her to come sit by him and keep his feet warm... it's all very suspiscious.
This is what the INSIDE people did all day. While Below is what the OUTSIDE people did all day. There was definitely a line drawn...


The Schmidt side had a pool/barbecue party it was so much fun and so very very warm outside!!!!! We all pretty much got toasted and burned to a crisp. Some of us worse than others....:)

The Tucker had a huge family party yesterday and it was so much fun. Ben and Julie got a blow up bounce house and a blow up water slide. It was a lot of fun and really hot!!!!!


Here's my Kynna Bynna playing in the water. She's so cute!!!!



Amber, Preston, and Jason sitting around in the shade. Roger is under there too, but he was way far away.


okay okay one more picture of me and the baby

Me holding Rowan and looking very excited about it. It's so weird how they all look the same as newborns, but only a week later they look totally different. Ahhhh, he'll look back at this and think, "you that's crazy aunt Mel."
