So lets just say we have had a busy week to say the least. Sean and 5 of his friends left Monday morning in my suburban to Texas to hog hunt. So I flew solo all week with the kiddos. Our days start with getting them to school, practice, eat, sleep and do it all over again. We did very well and the kids were great all week. So proud of them I was so happy to say we got through the week without a glitch Wrong. I have been driving Seans truck this week cause he took the suburban. I noticed that it was driving strange but talked to Sean and he said it sounded like it was snow packed. He told me to put it in the garage and place a blower pointing up overnight and it should thaw it right out. Simple solution I can do that, but it still continued and thought it was odd so I went to pro lube here in town who changes our oil etc. Figured could trust them knowing that I went to school with the owner. He looked under it and said it was pretty snow packed and it needed to thaw out. Cool just like my hubby said so did it again the next night thinking well this should really do it. Today I noticed it didn't seem any better if not a bit worse called Buzz and he said it sounded like it had ice jammed up in there. Hmmm okay so continued on with my day with my normal routine. Had a hockey potluck tonight so Pam watched Grace cause she really didn't want to go (that is a whole nother post). Dropped her off and went to the potluck after headed over to Pams to get Grace and the truck started smelling. My description is when you burn your belt out in your vacuum. Then lights came on one was the abs light and then it was flashing that something (can't remember to flustered) needed servicing. I call Sean, Buzz and a hockey parent who works at the dealership that services Chevy. Both Buzz and John said don't drive it and if you do drive it to the dealership no farther since it wasn't to far away. That's where the really journey begins.l..So off we go Pam drives behind me just in case anything goes wrong. Oh crap I have no brakes!!! Let me remind you our truck is not old it is a 09 with 30,ooo miles. I pull over tell her my brakes are going out so we thought with it being Brookings at this time of night we should be good to just crutch it along (damn woman LOL) I get around the corner and I really don't have brakes and it is really smelling and oh crap it is making a funky noise okay time to stop. Lovely place to stop in a school zone that has no parking. UGH!! So now we have to call the tow truck yes seriously not kidding. To make a really long story that I have already made long. Seans truck was towed to the dealership and now we will wait to see what is wrong with it. Yes my hubby is on his way back and will be here tomorrow thank God cause this is something he would normally take care of. Okay well never had this happen with any of our vehicles but I know he would take care of it cause he is so awesome that way. So Pam thanks for all the laughs tonight, John thanks for your kindness and coming out and waiting for the tow truck so I could get my kids home. Now it is 11:30 at night and I still need to pack bags for state hockey tomorrow so I better get movin...... sigh

My Mom arrived safe and sound in England. She is there visiting my brother and his family for two weeks. The kids didn't know she was coming so it was a big surprise. I'm totally jealous that she is over there but someday we will be able to go over there and see them. I haven't seen Wendy or the kids since 2006. My brother flew home the day before my 30th birthday so will be three years since I have seen him.

John and Wendy enjoy this time with Mom I am sure this two weeks will go by way to fast.

Mom I miss you already get home!!!

What an awesome weekend of hockey we had here in the Lesnar household. Austin had games in Watertown while the other boys were here in Brookings. Austin played three games and won two and lost one. He had 11 goals and 5 assists this weekend, way to go Austin!! The older boys also played three games but they won all three. Logan had two goals and one assist and Hunter had three goals and one assist. Let me add this was Hunters first time playing since the cast came off. I do have to add he made a few Moms hearts sink out there when he was getting hit agianst the boards. Next weekend Austin has his home tournament here in Brookings while the older boys are in Pierre for their state tournament.

First Place

WAY TO GO RANGERS!!!

Today marks the one year anniversary of our house fire. Hard to believe that has already been that long when it just seems like yesterday we got the phone call saying our house was on fire. I have been pretty emotional about it the last few days. But Sean said something to me yesterday that was so true. We just hit a necessary bump in the road. Needed it to get a new start and firmer foundation for our lives to blossom. Sean you have been my rock I love you so much.

We want to thank friends, family, strangers and the community for being there for our family during our loss.

Below you will find a slide show I put together. It is a little long sorry but I couldn't get the slides to move any faster.
