I will upload pictures and tell more about it but I had to put a quick post. the small ride up to about 25ft in the air balloon was still great! it was supposed to go 50-100 ft in the air but with the wind and ALL the people it was much shorter! But I STILL had fun and it confirmed that I Could endure a "real" ride! and now I want to do it more than ever!!! it's about 160$ PER person! Yikes!! Also I have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many pictures in my memory card, I am telling you all this so that I will have Moe of a reason to do so!! There are about 500 unloaded, edited pics!!

Jake just came to me and asked if he could have "fun dip" AGH!!! I say "fun dip" because lets be real it is NOT fun! I swear whoever created "fun dip" is a DIP!!! that stuff is the worst! and it sprinkles EVERYWHERE and Heaven forbid it gets spilled and your husband "trys" to clean it up with a damp cloth!! it is in your carpet for EVER were talking Sandlot FfOOORRR EEEVVEEERRR.. Can you picture the little nerdy kid in the tree house saying it??!!
Ok Back to my cousin Amanda she told me to do this so I typed Kristene needs in the google bar and wrote down the top 10, it was a little hard seeing how my name is spelled so different so I also tried the did you mean Kristin needs? and this is what I got:

Easter Egg Hunt

We had an AMAZING day yesterday! Thank you all for coming! Yesterday we held our Annual Easter egg hunt I stuffed over 700 eggs but it was SOOOOOO worth it! I invited all of my family that lives here, Jake's Cousin Ethan and Devyn came and they had a blast! Jesse's parents had to work and Jake's Aunt Shea was accepted into BYU Idaho so she was busy packing. And then all of our Ward and neighbors came, some that have been doing this with us for Years and then some that were new to this fun adventure! And a lot of people invited their neighbors too! so it was crazy fun! since it was our Church conference weekend we did it a little later in the day, thank goodness for the GREAT weather! so we had a potluck too! I love our Neighborhood!!! Someone is ALWAYS out side, riding bikes, exercising, walking their dogs or whatever!! So when a few volunteers came with me to hide the eggs there was some kids out and of course willing to help! it was great! we meet at a park that is across the street from a greenbelt and a volleyball court! so we meet at the park and hang out for a bit while we wait for everyone to arrive and then we go across the street, little kids are in the sand and the others are in the greenbelt! I had 3 and under on the volley ball court and the eggs just covered the sand, totally in plain view!! and the older kids we hid some a little harder make it more fun, But Jake went to the volleyball court!! He's NO dummy! I tried to talk him into going and "searching" for the eggs and how much more fun it'd be to hunt for them and he said 'but there all just right here?!?!!" he knew it was WAY easier and he'd get more there! I even took him over to the bushes to show him to look and find the hidden ones; he gave up REALL quick telling me he wanted to go get all the other ones! But we shared with a couple of people since he got so many! with all the eggs everyone got a great amount but a few got kinda jipped, so as part of the host's he shared! and its hectic crazy fun that's over VERY quickly! I will post some Pictures ASAP!! I am having technical difficulties right now. If you have any pictures you'd like to pass on' that's great! My wonderful hubby is photo challenged! he brought the camera like I asked him to- Kudos for remembering! he stayed home with the little boys while we hid the eggs and about 20 min into our party and as we were walking across the street to find the eggs; I ask him how many pictures has he taken, NONE was his reply!! He hadn't even turned it ON!! he tells me he didn't know he was supposed to.. it was around his neck the WHOLE time!! Later on that night we went BACK to the Park! As if we hadn't filled our fun quota for the day, every year on Saturday night while the Dad's are at the Priesthood Session ,the Mom's gather at the park, someone makes a Little Caesars Pizza run and the kids eat pizza and play! By the time Jake and I rode home we were SO tired! we quickly went to bed and slept till 9 am the next morning!!Thank you for coming, thank you for supporting me and my family! we don't have a lot of family here and Ethan and Devyn : Jake's cousin's live kind of far so it makes it to where we only get together about once a month! and the Bowlers LOVE parties! Jake is SO much like me it's scary! Next up- Drive Way Movie Night! Come watch BOLT under the stars!!! Be there or Be Square!!

need to complain!!

OK so 1st off I have the WORST headache known to me in a very long time and it WILL not go away!! now it's making me sick to my stomach! 2ND Jake is scooping mustard and eating it straight! he asked me where the sticks were from his corn dogs he ate for lunch! so ikea knife and a bottle of mustard and I could care less! He is quiet!!!! Aw crap! Can I kill the stupid neighbors dog's? I HATE how close we are luckily the frat house next to use are moving in a couple of weeks! but the other neighbors got a scrappy, yuppie, Paris Hilton stuff in your purse and carry dog poop around kind of dog! and 3rd, I haven't blogged in a long while or read other peoples blogs in a while , I kind of dropped out for a while! With me babysitting, & getting some more bad news health wise and Jesse's Schedule It's been very difficult! Like being a single Mom sometimes, but I am grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has a job but I guess I took a break, Plus I HATE telling anybody "oh yeah more bad stuff's happening at the Bowler's!" That's NOT what I want to talk about at all!! So not knowing what's going on around or what's new, i talked with some friends and told me what's been going on with them and just catching up...I just want to say WOW and maybe our next book club book should be Frenemies.

What do you say???

I know it's been forever and a day since I posted... Kind of fell of the bandwagon but I HAD to post to tell whoever's listening about what just happened!! So the other night Jesse was coming home from work to get some clothes to go BACK to work, he's been working SO much BUT I AM THANKFUL!!! trust me!! I am so grateful I put up with it! but it was around midnight on Friday night and he had a blow out on the freeway on our only car, it could have been So much worse! he's lucky he didn't flip or anything but to make matters worse it was on the side of the Freeway and there was no way to move and he had to get out and change it by the busy side with cars rushing by!!Then he couldn't get it jacked up high enough to get the spare under. so he called his Dad in for help but his Dad couldn't get to him cause of where and how dangerous it was! luckily a DPS officer comes and helps him but the spare tire is WAAAY low!! So it was a nightmare non the less. Yesterday was Fast Sunday at church literally as we were walking out Jes got called into work! But I went and ended up bearing my testimony talking about my new calling the Primary Chorister. Today Jesse had the day off so while I was babysitting ( I have been watching 2 great kids 2x a week for extra income) he took the car to get the new tire. Well when we bought the car we opted for the tire insurance because the car's tires are REALLY expensive!! $230.00!! for ONE tire! WE looked it up online so we DEFIANTLY needed the insurance! A few months ago we had 2 bad tires and they gave us THE HARDEST time EVER!! We were told to go to the dealer, so we did then we had to wait 24-48 hrs while they sent out an agent to "look" at it, then they said the dealer was too expensive so they wouldn't pay unless we went to Discount Tire their price is 180. well we went today and they are refusing to pay for this tire!! saying there isn't "Road" damage! whatever.. so Jesse and the discount guy were fighting with the agent ---NO go! Well a guy over heard Jesse explaining to the agent that this is our only car and he is our sole source of income! and that the only option was to leave the car for 24-48 hours but they weren't going to give us a rental and the agent said they won't find "road" damage so it wasn't going to help. The guy came over and asked what was going on and asked Jes if he was married and if he had kids Jesse said yes and it's our only car so this stranger took him inside and paid for our tire!! Jesse called me amazed and shocked and didn't know what to say! What do you say to someone who is a stranger and basically gives you 200$?!?! I mean he said Thank you a million times but that doesn't seem to cut it! he called me and told me he doesn't even know his name. I started sobbing and immediately thanked my Heavenly Father and the 1st thing that popped into my head was Tithing!! I paid my tithing and fast offering yesterday!! I have such a huge testimony for tithing and this is just another example!!! I told Jes to go back in there and thank him for me. The man said not to worry about it; he's a Fireman and does landscaping on the side Jes said he wasn't LDS cause he was swearing like a sailor :) but he just felt a duty to help people out especially in this Economy! And he just asked Jesse to do something in return to someone else if and when he gets the chance! You Bet we will, Pay it Forward!! I know this was a LONG post but I had tell you what this Kindest stranger did for us!! What an amazing person, We know it doesn't matter if he's LDS or not but it was REALLY nice that he did this!!!!!!!!!! I mean we are told tojelp anyone and everyone anytime we cam ALL the time!! so It was So nice that people care! I know i could writ about this ALL night long but I am going to end it on this note, PAY IT FORWARD! Thank you kind stranger you have NO idea what this means to my family and me !!
