Time for the Smart Phone??

So, I've been poor on posting anything lately. No new videos, pictures, or here. The only reason a few tweets show up on this page is because I send them from my cell phone. Well, we have been out and about with some mini vacations before our big upcoming week long take Olivia on an airplane vacations. So, I'm in Fairmont, MN this weekend with Heather's family. Last weekend we were in the Black Hills with my family. We are here in Minnesota to celebrate Heather's dad's 50th birthday. Everyone is celebrating now with cake and ice cream and presents, and I've stayed behind in the air conditioned comfort of my chair in the hotel room to stay with our sleeping little girl. She's quite tuckered out from something today, probably just all the excitement of the people she hasn't seen much of. I believe Heather should be coming back in with my cake and ice cream any time now.

So, does this have anything to do with the post's title? Kind of. When we were in the Black Hills, Heather spent a day not feeling well. So, I took Olivia and went with mom and dad and Trent and Uncle Guy to Deadwood. I'd never seen it before, and it's a cool place. I want my 8 dollars back, but it is a fun place to be. While we were there, we stopped at Kevin Costner's restaurant. It was a neat experience, but Olivia wasn't too thrilled. So as we sat down to eat, Trent grabbed his iPhone and pulled up some of her favorite shows on uTube. So, lunch was saved and Olivia was happy as a clam the entire time. Fast forward to tonight when were at the restaurant for Todd's birthday, and once again Olivia was having none of it. So, we quickly got our hands on Uncle Joshua's iPhone and got her shows up to watch again. I've decided that it's no more of using uncle's iPhones to get this done, it's time to start using mine.....or to get our hands on that iPad, one of the two. Funny thing is, Heather has said I'm welcome to get BOTH. Not just one, both of them! I'm excited, but the issue is, I don't have the funding currently. I have already spent that on the bathroom.....

Ohh, that reminds me, our bathroom remodeling project. That just doesn't seem to want to end. I'm finally to the point though of painting, redoing the floor, and install the pieces that have been pulled out. Well, last night I was working on the floor, and found that beneath our bathroom floor lies flowing hardwood floors.....that have been damaged. Ahhhhhh! I love the hardwood floors our place has, but these aren't in too good of shape, plus there are a lot of holes for what look to be old radiator heating pipes. Well, it's probably going to turn into a bit of a project to get the old wood floor ripped up. It really goes against everything I believe in. But, I believe that I will have the bathroom completed around the 4th of July. And, if nothing else, I'll have a full day that day to do work on it!!
