Random Jase Moments

Since my great accomplishment of hooking up the camera - thought I would share a few Jase moments from the last few months.

Star of the Week

A little bball after his final day as Star of the Week.

First Tooth Lost. We currently have the other middle bottom tooth that is going any day.

Putting his tooth under his pillow. Hello Tooth fairy.

A little Christmas in March (better late than never right)

Things have been crazy. No that word doesn't even describe the amount of change that has been going on in our house the last few months. I now work from home - coming tomorrow I will know if it is for another company and HS Designs or HS Designs only. Construction on the basement has been running at full throttle. Jase has been keeping us on our toes.

But with all that I finally found time to setup my new camera that Mary gave me for Christmas (thank you). Actually to be honest, April needed some photos of a site for work and I was forced to connect the camera. That really is a technicality. It would have happened...sometime.

So enjoy a little Christmas memories in March on behalf of the Stewart Family.



Mary & Jase riding on Christmas Morning

Danielle - stylish on Christmas. (We don't let her out much.)

















Gavin loving his first Christmas.













Mom opening her picture of Jase and Gavin.














Holly showing some Christmas Joy.


















The picture I was shooting for of Holly's Christmas joy!


















Tell me you can see how bad this could be if Jase was turned lose with a box of packing peanuts.












Papa Ronny and Jase - silly as usual.













Home Finally - lets open some presents!













I bet everyone wishes they could buy a gumball machine and this excitement.












Showing his batman and spiderman love - all at once. Merry Christmas and goodnight.

Busy Bees

So...the blog has taken a bit of a vacation, but fear not. The basement/office is almost done. So very soon I hope to have some free time. Then I will be better organized for work and able to have more time in my day. (i'm dreaming i know.)

ALSO - I still need to upload all my photos from the camera that I got for Christmas. Those will be posted soon too! Scout's honor (even though I wasn't a scout).

WHERE HAS ALL MY TIME GONE?!

Welcome Christmas Card Readers

For those of you who found my blog via our Christmas cards this year (thanks Angie for the idea last year!).....Welcome.

We will be spending our Christmas running around and being Merry. I just picked Jase up from school today (out early at 2:00) and he was wound and ready to go. I guess the Christmas countdown has gotten to him. I know he got to me earlier this week when he was out of school my first 3 days of working from home due to snow/ice. How am I ever going to survive the next 2 weeks with him at home with mounds of energy? Tony and I decided that Mrs. Gildehaus needs a serious raise.

So...Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year too! (maybe I'll be getting that digital camera for Christmas and have some awesome new photos to share in the New Year.)

The Last Supper

We often think of the Last Supper in the biblical settings, but today was a last supper of a different kind. Today - 3 ladies who have worked closely together over the past few years went to their last work day lunch.

Yes - the economy has struck and today was Debbie's last day. I know Debbie will move on and be happy with her bigger than life personality, but change is always a little scary. In the coming weeks, I know that Angela and I will probably be making our last QT run at lunch and each moving in different career directions. (PS. QT please open a store in Troy.)

So in honor of Debbie's last day - cheers to us all and may the future hold wonderful memories to be made.

The Last Appetizer

The Aftermath!

Holiday Countdown

Well... I haven't been on here for awhile. Shame on me. I do want to say that the Holiday Countdown has begun and the Stewarts are READY! I get to put up the tree next week. YIPPEE.

Tony's Angel

Not that there was ever any doubt, but my husband most defiantly has a guardian angel.

Today on his way to an interview in St. Louis Co, Tony was in an accident on highway 70. He came across a small bend on the highway looking straight at a midsize car facing the wrong way. Tony tried to avoid hitting the car, but ended up spinning the vehicle and hit the midsize car. This impact threw his vehicle over the car and it rolled. The car then went into the right hand lanes of traffic, where 2 semis took care of the rest.

Lucky for us, Tony was able to crawl out of the window of the SUV. He went to the hospital for tests and to clean up his cuts. All tests were good and the cuts on his head will heal.

This day could have ended much differently. It is a blessing that all we are dealing with are some cuts, headache and a body that will be terribly sore tomorrow I'm sure.

P.S. Tony extends his apologies to Sgt. Patton since it was his vehicle he was driving.
