Check Fraud Scam

I am selling my cute Mini Schnauzer Pups and had a guy try to buy it from me off the internet and wanted me to have it shipped to him in New York... I waited for two weeks and sent him an email and told the guy he either sent me the check by Wednesday or the deal is off... I came home to a UPS package with a different name on it so I opened it and in it was a check for $3500.00... I looked at the check and knew right away something was wrong... The check had a lady's name on it from OH and the check was from a bank in HI and the UPS package was sent from a guy in GA... So I then took the check to my bank and told them about it they faxed a copy of it to the bank in HI and they called back and said it was a fraudulent check... This guy wanted me to cash the check keep my $500.00 and send my puppy with $3000.00 to his so called shipping company... What a JOKE... Are you kidding me????? After about 6 blocked phone calls from some woman asking me if I cashed the check-I told her it was bad and I wouldn't cash it... Then I received an email form they guy asking me to go to another bank... I emailed him back and said NO!!!!! The bank said to shred it-The next day I got a phone call from a man who asked me what I did with the check??? I told him I still had it and if he sent me his address I would sent it back to him... I couldn't understand what he said but then he hung up... So I took it to the police and filed it as check fraud... The police advised me to email the guy and tell him that if he wanted the check he would have to go through the police department, and gave them permission to look and my phone records and emails and to NOT contact me in anyway and that his check was under investigation... I have not heard from them since.... This just makes me so mad that people in this world are like this... So the moral of the story is do not trust anyone and make sure you watch your own back because this happens all the time... These people are just looking for their next victim to scam.....

Trying to think of him

So I went to Shopko looking for The Love Dare and found this GREAT deal... I saw this and just thought of Owen-He's going to LOVE me for this!!! (Owen has a passion for cooking) It's a kitchen island... Everyone who has been to my house knows that my kitchen is little with no counter space... So this is perfect Owen can have this in the middle of the kitchen and have more counter space to work with. It was $300.00 on sale for $59.00... Everyone who knows me knows how much I LOVE to find great deals!!! Well I got home and was so excited I couldn't wait to show him... He was not as happy as I thought he would be... He said it would be to big and we would have no room to fit it in our small kitchen... So then I told him he was being like the wife in the movie... I had tried to do something nice for him and got REJECTED... He then took a second and said I am so sorry.... Thanks Babe.... for thinking about me lets go put it together and see what we have... We had a good laugh about it and then he put it all together and this is what we have... It is a little big but I figure he will either like it or not... I tried...

Fireproof and The Love Dare Book

Ok -so my Mom told us we needed to watch this movie so we rented it on Friday night and watched it. WOW what a movie... We loved it and we found so much truth in it on how we each become a little bit selfish as we are married for a few years... That book was just an eye opening concept to making life better for the both of us... So I set out on a journey to find THE LOVE DARE so that I could start my 40 days of being a better wife... I can't find it at any store here... So I ordered it from Barnes and Noble for my birthday of course. I wanted the hard back book and the movie... I ordered it and got through with check out and realized I ordered the book instead of the movie so I got back on the ordered the movie... I guess I get to have the whole set... I am up for the dare and can't wait to get the book... For anyone who hadn't watched this movie (WATCH IT) It will change the way you are and make you want to be better!!!!

Spring in Utah

This is what it looks like today here in Utah... And for the whole week... *Enjoy* Because I know you wish you were here...

NEW BIKES AND TRAMP... FUN FUN FUN

Owen and Dad hard at work...

Jiselle's first bike...

2 hours of hard labor and it's done...

Thanks to selling our little girl pup this is what our kids get in return... We got Mitchell, Noah and Jiselle new bikes and Seth some bike tires that will never get flat(that cost the same as a new bike) and a new tramp. Thanks to Dad and Owen for their hard work for 2 hours to get that up it looks great!!! I hope the Pizza I got for dinner was a good enough THANK YOU for your hard work... We have a lot of excited kids and it's not just my kids-I think it's the whole neighborhood... We got to try it out the first night we got it up and sleep out side... Noah made it till 12 and said forget this... Jiselle till 2 and I brought her in and put her in her bed... Seth slept with me in my warm sleeping bag so with Me and Seth-Mitchell and their friend Ben made it all night... It was freezing cold maybe 30 or 40 degrees but it was FUN...

Ok- I can't not blog about going to Wal-mart with my Dad to pick up the new trampoline... This older guy from sporting goods had to help us out to the truck so he loaded the tramp on a flat cart and took it out to the front where we met up with my Dad and his truck and while we were waiting for my dad to pull up he said boy I've had a long day... Right after he said that my dad pulled up and so him and another wal-mart worker were trying to lift it up into the truck from the sides and my dad pulled on the plastic strap in the middle to help them.... the strap broke and my dad ended up punching the old guy in the face... -WHOOPS- The guy just stopped for a min. and then said I don't think those straps were made to hold... and finished loading it into the truck... After my dad and I got into the truck we had a good laugh about it... It was funny and I'm sure that day got a little bit longer for that wal-mart worker....

DAY AT THE PARK

Seth's BIG catch....

Mitchell's BIG catch (love it)

The Boys had tons of FUN playing Basket Ball w/Grandpa

Love You Dad!!!

Grandma with the Boys....

They miss you!!!

We are so glad that my parents got to come up here to Utah and visit us... The boys had lots of fun fishing, playing basket ball and of course eating KFC at the park... It was a beautiful day here and the sun was out so with that we all got a little burnt for the first time this year.... The boys were glad to spend the day out of school and hang out with grandma and grandpa.... Thanks for the fun!!!

The DIVA'S

When you get Jiselle and Kaylee together this is what you get... Two DIVA'S... They love to get together and dress up and strike a pose... *So CUTE*

I Just Think It's SAD

I thought I should change my title to how I really feel... I don't even really know what to say other then Iam just SO SAD about this... I know that the only thing we can to is email HBO and let them know that this time they went to far...

PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!Many of you may have heard of HBO's television show, Big Love. It came out a couple of years ago, and it shows polygamous families. When it first came out, the church came out with a strong statement against Big Love and Polygamy. You can see the statement here:http://www.newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/commentary/church-responds-to-questions-on-hbo-s-big-loveHowever, as if the polygamy weren't bad enough, HBO has taken their unscrupulousness to new heights.On Sunday, March 15, 2009, HBO will be airing a segment of their Big Love series that will show individuals dressed in full temple clothing (you can see the picture right in the TV guide itself), and they are planning on recreating the temple ordinances on public television. They have an ex-member of the church that is helping them make this ceremony as authentic as possible (you can see even from the pictures they have posted how closely they have replicated the clothing).Please help stop HBO from airing such an offensive show! You can go to the link below to submit a comment to HBO.http://www.hbo.com/apps/submitinfo/contactus/submit.do?title=GeneralInformation&questiontype=generalInformation&questiontype=generalIt's imperative that we get as many people to voice their complaints as possible before HBO airs the show. Please pass this information on to as many people as you can!Here is a photo from the episodehttp://students.washington.edu/secular/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/big-love-to-show-mormon-ceremony.pdfThe church also issued a statement about this episode today, that link is below:http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/commentary/the-publicity-dilemma

DANG SNOW!!!! Sorry Babe!!!!

Ok-I woke up to a foot of snow today and I got into Owens truck to move it under our covered parking... I drove forward and I couldn't go so I pushed on the gas a little harder and all the sudden I was hugging my house with his truck... I don't know how I got their but then I was freaking out... ARE YOU KIDDING ME-Then I am asking myself-What way do I turn the wheel so I don't destroy my house... Needless to say I turned the WRONG way and took off Owen's gas cover- It to me 4 wheel drive and a few min to get it away from the house... I felt so dumb and I CAN say that this has NEVER happened to me before... With only a small dint in my house-Owens truck got the worst of it THANK GOODNESS!!!! Oh Man did we ever get slammed with snow... We got 14 inches up here today and more coming tomorrow... I will be GLAD to see it go Wednesday!!!! UuuuGgggHhhh!!!!

I'm The BEST Dad EVER

This is a story for every one who has ever lived in a place that has time change.... Owens alarm went off at 7:00 am and I was sick so he got up and made breakfast for the kids... He had all the kids shower and gave Jiselle a bath... I got up and did Jiselles hair... Everyone was almost ready for church it was 8:45 am Owen was so PROUD of himself and THEN THE PHONE CALL-my sister Shelly called and was telling me she had set her alarm on her phone to go off but her phone never reset for the new time so she was an hour late to church... Owen freaked out... NO WAY_UGH!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME_ He went from being the perfect DAD to The DAD that was now an hour late for church... SO FUNNY... We had to just laugh about it.... Sorry Babe but this was way too funny to not blog about... I will blog about what I did to your truck next...

POOR GIRL-Wish me luck!!!!! Just click on my title and it will take you to my ksl add... THEY ARE JUST SO DANG SWEET!!!!
