....he messed with the wrong person!
There will be an article in Sunday's paper about the incident. It is an article with a bunch of customer service issues, but this is one of them. The reporter called him and he would not tell her his last name or position and then he hung up on her. Nice, huh? Come to find out from corporate (I found out from the reporter) - this guys OWNS that store!
Plus, Terry (the reporter) told me that she contacted the Health Dept. and they said that they never commented on this situation to him as he aluded to in the email about while it's disgusting it does not transmit disease or whatever... The Health Dept encouraged her to tell me to file a report and they would do an immediate inspection and any violations would shut them down until corrected :) I might just for fun!
I'll post the article after it comes out. Oh, and BTW - they never did send me any of the free coupons that I was "fishing" for....

Weekend with Uncle Ryan & Aunt Manda
Justin trying to win the race at Chuck E. Cheese - I think he would have, but Daddy wasn't very good at steering the horse :)
A fierce game of air hockey! Aunt Manda smoked Uncle Ry :)
Justin actually gave Chuck E a high five, but of course I missed that part with the camera. Last time he would not even go near him, so I think he's getting braver! He also gave the Captain knuckles at the last Rivermen game!
Again - notice how close he is to the big purple monster (aka Munch for those of us who have been Chuckettes in the past....wait; that's probably only me!)
Helping Uncle Ry play skeeball... Daddy got 100 tickets for breaking the high score!! Then Aunt Manda and Justin played for about 20 minutes on one token because Justin would throw them and they just come back!
Justing would not cooperate!
Looking for his hockey puck
Uncle Ry and Justin watching TV!
This was Tuesday after work - it was 50 degrees out so we got out, I walked the dogs and then we played in the yard and got the poop all cleaned up again! It's so hard to do in the winter.....
Justin with the Chuck-it's, but no tennis balls :)
Playing on his fort - I can't wait until he can do it without winter clothes!!!

Rivermen Game!
Last night we were pretty tired, but the Rivermen only have 4 home games in March, so we wanted to go to the game! Justin's new hockey clothes that Daddy ordered him came while we were gone, so he was all decked out! The Rivermen don't make toddler clothes, so Daddy got him Blues stuff (Rivermen are the farm team for the Blues). Same colors! He looked so cute :)
My little stud!
He doesn't like the hat fowards because he can't see good..but he kept it on backwards for a long time! I think it's because we told him it's his hockey hat!
He knew he was not supposed to be on the other side of the railing!
:) He makes me smile!
Dinner on the run :)

Leaving Las Vegas
We left Vegas on Monday. I hate when we have to leave. I always cry my eyes out....I really wish we lived closer to my parents. I love watching Justin when we are together. You can really see how much he loves them!!! I see smiles out of him that we don't see very often! :)
Monday morning, Justin and I drove my mom to work while Daddy packed up all of our stuff. Justin cried when she got out of the car and after we drove away he had his arms up crying "back, back" like the "put it back" she taught him - so of course I was crying even more. Then we went and got Rob and went to Papa's jobsite to say goodbye - another tear fest. Although this time Justin was being a stinker and wouldn't even give him a kiss. I think he didn't want to leave. As soon as we left there, we went to the strip so I could go to M&M world and get a gift for the neighbor kids who were watching Quincy & Tucker - our next door neighbors are great! (The Hillers) I am really excited for summer to get to know them even better...they have Brandon who is 9, Jenna is 4 and a baby on the way! Oh, and Cassie - a black lab that Tucker loves to run the fence line with! Anyways, after that we went back to Palace Station and had lunch with Great Grandpa & Grandma. Then they took Justin out by the pool while Rob and I played one more hour of Blackjack. We turned $200 into $425, so we left on a good note! I think we came out a little bit ahead in the gambling side of things, so we can't complain!
We got to the airport and the line for check-in was really long. We made it through that, made it through security and then found out we had a 2 hour delay. Normally this would not be a big deal, but when travelling with an 18 month old who was gearing up for a nice nap, that threw a wrench in our plans! So we walked the airport, got TCBY, soda, etc. and kept him awake for our 3.5 hour wait. When we got on the plane he was an ANGEL! He fell asleep before we took off and woke up once for a drink and to change sleeping positions and he was out again until we touched down in Peoria! If he did that everytime we would be more excited about flying with him.... I am sure this is just what Aunt Manda wants to hear - he cried the whole way home when she had him :(
It was a VERY FUN trip and we can't wait to go back soon! Thanks for everything mom and dad & grandpa and grandma rosebush! We love you!
Looking for what sweet treats to bring home with us!

Las Vegas (Sunday)
Sunday was Race Day! Rob, Grandpa Rosebush and I went to the NASCAR race in Vegas. I love that track because it's really pretty in the mountains. The tour buses cut through Nellis Air Force Base to get to the track - it's a cool place! The race was pretty boring though; not really good racing. I still like Bristol the best! This was the 3rd time we've been to the Vegas race...we'll probably go back even though it was not very exciting! I got sunburned, so that was nice - it was good to have some color back...even if it is red! It would have been nice if Jimmie would have finished the race - or at least run in the top 30 at some point, but oh well!
Gramma and Justin - I love his smile. He has a lot of fun getting into trouble at Gramma's house! He learned "Put it back!" when we were there...it's so cute; I'll try to get a video of it!
Ready for the green flag!
I love the mountains in the background
It was hazy, but you can sort of see the LV Strip in the background!
Self portrait!

Las Vegas (Saturday)
Saturday was nice and relaxing! We just hung around the house, helped Grandpa put in outdoor carpet off the patio and went out to dinner!
Papa, Justin and Gramma - I LOVE this picture!!!!
Since having Justin we don't have too many of the two of us! I wish we would have gotten one of all 3 of us - I wasn't thinking!
Being silly with Gramma again!

Las Vegas (Friday)
Gramma had the day off on Friday, so Rob and I didn't have to get up with Justin :) It was another BEAUTIFUL day! We went and met Lisa and Ava for lunch in Green Valley at the Half Shell. They have a rooftop deck and it was wonderful! I had the best fish tacos....mmmm! After lunch we went over to Steve & Lisa's for a little while so I could help her with setting up her blog, then we had to fight the traffic to get back to my parent's house so Rob and I could shower and get ready to go to the LV Hilton for a meet & greet with Kevin Harvick! After the meet & greet, we went back to Red Rock and met Stevie (my cousin) there for a little blackjack!
Steve and I were sitting at a $15 minimum table. It was just he and I playing for a while because the cards were not going well - hence the reason Rob was standing there watching! Anyways, this really pretty lady walks up and watches us, asks if they offer surrender, etc. She ends up sitting down and pulled out $500 and asks for all black ($100 chips). Steve and I kind of looked at each other with surprise....we were only betting up to $25 maybe! She ended up winning the first hand and letting it ride, then she had to double down so she pulled out another $1K in cash. She lost. The next hand she pulls out a stack of $100 bills and started counting, then just said "whatever is there give me black and purple ($500 chips!)". She only played one 6 deck shoe with us and in that time she pulled out $12K from her purse!!!! I was sitting next to her and she was not even close to out of $100 bills. She ended up breaking even on a hand that she was betting over $2K and then doubled down so she had $4K on one hand. Oh, and she was playing 2 spots on the table the whole time! I was talking to her and she said they were from San Diego and her and her husband just came in for the night because they don't like to leave their kids for too long - her husband was 2 tables over betting more than she was! They had casino hosts on them like white on rice. Our table had quite a crowd around it in no time! That was our excitement....as for Rob and I, we each left with a little more than we brought, so we were happy!

Cool Shades!

We were trying to figure out how Ava & Justin are related and we think they are 4th cousins...(mom and steve - 1st, me and steve - 2nd, me and ava - 3rd, justin and ava - 4th....is that right?)
He still loves her! He was trying to kiss her, but he had a runny nose, so I thought hugs would be better!
Sharing Smarties :)
Aaawwww...saying goodbye until next time we visit :)
They are only 8 days apart, but Ava is still in 18 month clothes - Justin outgrew those before his 1st birthday!
Rob and I with Kevin Harvick - I told him that I was really there hoping to meet Delena (his wife)...I'm so nice! :) He said she was back at the motorcoach with the dogs!

Las Vegas!!! (Thursday)
I am going to break our trip up into different days of our trip - hope you have a while :)
We left Peoria at 8:40am on Thursday and got to Vegas around 10:30am. Gramma came to the airport to pick us up, but then she had to go back to work. We went to the Palace Station and had lunch with Great Grandpa & Grandma Rosebush. Justin was good, but he was ready to run around after being cooped up on a plane for almost 4 hours! After lunch we went to Papa and Gramma's house and played hockey out on their patio - it was in the high 70's and sunny...beautiful out!!! Then Mommy and Justin went to Kohl's because Justin didn't have any shorts that fit him! When Papa & Gramma (from here will be referred to as P&G!) got home from work we went out to dinner and then Rob and I went to Red Rock - our favorite casino!!
Being silly with Gramma
This was one of 3 restaurants we went to that did not have high chairs! I can see a bar area not having them, but if you have a full non smoking dining room, wouldn't you think you might get kids?

:( So close....
I am going to post this one first because it's not happy news, so I will make sure it gets covered by the fun Vegas pictures!!!
We had a couple looking at our house (3 times!) and they loved it....our realtor thought they would definetly be putting in an offer and they didn't even have a house to sell. Well, then they saw a FSBO in on our street that is bigger and then ended up buying that one. What a let down. At least we had some interest I guess..... It's really frustrating spending over 25K per year on this house that sits empty. I wish we could just tell the bank - here...take it back! Oh, and it would be nice if that didn't leave a big red X on our credit reports!!!
Ugh.
