I watched this video this morning. I can't get enough. I will update my page soon but this was just too good to not share.
*****WARNING*** THERE IS A LOT OF SWEARING


ANAL

Summer is almost here

We had a few teaser days last month. Got up to almost 80 degrees. It's been awful here the last two weeks. Cold, windy, and rain. Yuck.

As indicated in my last post, we did go to the circus and the girls had a blast. McKenna kept saying wow, and Madison kept wanting to dance with Grandma for some reason. We only stayed for the first half, which was 2 hours long, then we went home.

We also went to Minneapolis 2 weeks ago and met up the Zac and Jordan. We had some good food and maybe a little too much good beer. Tom and Bruner also met up with us that Saturday. It was good seeing those guys. It's been a while.

Last week, Andy and Becca came over for a visit. We met Claire for the first time. She's such a good baby. The Bakkes have a good one there.

Anyways, update of the girls. McKenna is starting to say sentences and pronouncing her words more clearly. Its good, because now she can tell us why she is screaming. Madison is all about telling people she is going to kindergarden. It's still a year away, but she's pretty excited.

Birthdays

Since my last post. Madison turned 4, Mackey turned 2, and I turn 30 tomorrow. Madison had a little birthday party here on her birthday, then the next weekend we went to GF and celebrated again. We went to Spacealiens. She had alot of fun.

Mackey had a little party here couple of days ago. She actually blew out the candles. Surprised me. We are going to GF tomorrow and going to the circus for another little Mackey bday celebration.

I turn 30 tomorrow. Yuck. But I can honestly say that I have the best wife ever. This is the best birthday I have had. I got a new flat screen TV for our room, my parents are buying me a new tennis racket, and today I got a new car. We were supposed to trade in Tracy's Touareg for a Murano. But Tracy decided that we really need a pickup and surprised me when she wanted to buy a Titan. It was the best birthday surprise I ever had. Here are some pics for the birthdays.

Anyways, I'll post an update on the circus.

Just a little rant.

I saw someone walking around with a blue tooth ear piece last night and god those people bother the sh@t out of me. Why do they have to talk so load on those things?? Are you trying in impress me? Cause you look like an uneducated fool, you hillbilly. People who just talk on cell phones don't stick out. But you with your blue LED light flashing on the side of your head sure does. Are your hands so tied up that you can't use your phone like a normal person. Oh yeah I forgot, you had a carton of USA Golds in one hand and diapers in the other. Jesus.

Another thing that bothers me are people that drive like a bad ass. Like a 35 yr old pealing out in the parking lot. What the F. Real cool in a 90 pontiac 6000. Why don't you buy something that deserves to peel out, then maybe I would understand. Oh yeah, you probably spent all your extra money on that bluetooth headset and the 8 nascar bumper stickers on the back.

One last thing. I really can't stand hour long tv shows that spend the first 15 minutes recapping the previous episode and the last 10 minutes previewing the next one. Just cut it down to 30 minutes. Thank god for Tivo.

One thing I did like was the movie Gran Torino. If you haven't seen it I would recommend it. Best movie I've seen since The Wrestler.

Well...

Well I've been back to work now for 2 weeks and it officially sucks again. The RR is so short of men they called me 5 times last night to work on my day off. Now my day is shot because I got no sleep. You think that after a year of being so short of men they would have called back 20 or 30 more guys. I guess not.

Macky delivered her first b*tch slap. We were at the mall and we had rented a 2 seater stroller for the girls. Well lets just say that Madison was sort of egging on Macky. So Macky wound up and slapped Madison right across the face. Our jaws dropped. It was kind of funny.

I got Madison's room done downstairs and I'm starting to finish Macky's now. Our plan is to finish that room off and put our house up for sale. We are thinking about moving to Moorhead possibly.

Here's some pics. The one is of Macky passing out after a long day with a graham cracker in her bed with the lights still on.

I'm back

After 3 weeks of being laidoff. I got called back to work this week. I officially go back this Monday. It has been nice not worrying about the phone ringing at any time to go to work and staying home with the girls. Anyways it was a nice little vacation.

I also forgot to mention that I won the Lunak fantasy football league this year. 2 years in a row. Looking for some new blood next year if anyone wants to join. Its fun and you don't need to know much to play.

I also dusted off the old racket stringer last weekend and strung up one of my old rackets. It had broken string in there since 2001. But it's as good as new now. I also am asking for a new racket for my b-day coming up in April. Getting ready for the old doubles partner to get to town. I'm also thinking that Madison is going to start learning soon and I should have a racket ready.

Later

I'm off the Facebook

Well I officially quit Facebook this week. Hopefully I can start posting here more often now. Got lazy.

Well the Lunaks had a good xmas. Madison and Macky got some good gifts. I'll post some pics. I got a new camera, which I really wanted. We spent a weekend in GF before xmas and spent xmas eve and xmas at Tracy's parents on Ottertail. It was really nice to have the time off.

Macky actually sleeps thru the night about 80% of the time now and her favorite word is "NO" Which is great. Can't wait for her to get out of this stage.

Madison is doing really well. She's like a little grown up. She'll tell you everyhing thats going on in her head. She will say stuff like "I think thats a good idea" and "you need to do this.....OK" She too smart for her age. Can't pull one by her anymore.

Tracy is good. Still at Food Service of America.

I'm currently laidoff, but I should be back to work soon. I'm currently a stay at home dad. Which is cool.

Here are some pics

Hello

Just in case anybody still checks this thing, I figured I would post some updates.

First. Tracy is pregant again. Just joking. She isn't.

Second. Madison is potty trained. Thumbs up.

Third. Macky still doesn't sleep thru the night. Thumbs down.

Fourth. Offically are the proud owners of my parents back lot at the lake.

Fifth. Tracy started a new job at Food Service of America. Accounting Manager

Sixth. Decided to stay at our current house until Madison starts school.

Seventh. BNSF still hasn't hired back most of the people at dilworth. I'm working all the time.

Eighth. Currently tied for 1st place in Fantasy Football.

Well thats all I got right now.

Here are some pics of the girls

New post

Not much in the new department at the Lunaks. Summer is going by way to fast. The girls spend a lot of time outside, so the nice weather is not going to waste. Here are some pics of them at the park. The other one is Madison after she got sent to her room. I can't remember what she was doing but she got in trouble, I told her to go to her room for a timeout and she freaked out and trashed her room. 15 minutes later I went in there to let her out and she passed out like that. I guess she was really tired.

Madison's whole potty training took a turn for the worse. She has no interest now in going on the toilet. So we have to come up with something she's getting too old.

Tracy starts a new job at Food Service of America this Monday. She's going to be in charge of there accounting dept. She's really pumped. My job is the same as it's been for the last 3 months. The called a few guys back that were laidoff. So things are slowly improving. Train traffic is starting to increase.

We have a lot and building plans picked out for a new house to build this spring, but we are hesistant to pull the trigger. The builder would buy our house from us to help the process but we are waiting for the economy to improve. We think it's starting to look better but you never know. It's a big investment.

Anyways later

Well we finally got our first family pictures taken couple weeks ago. They turned out pretty well. Things are starting to look up at my work. First time in about 6 months they are actually starting to add more jobs and call people back that were laid off.

The family made it out to Ottertail Lake last weekend to visit the Tamlyn's. We basically were on the lake all day. The girls love being outside. We also boated over to Zorbaz for dinner. They thought it was cool eating on the boat. Madison learned how to play candy land today and can't stop.

Somebody's crying
got to go

Ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well it's been a weird summer so far. They have laid off so many guys at my work that I'm one of the bottom guys now. It sucks because system wide BNSF traffic is down like 20%, but in Dilworth we are running at about 6% less than a year ago. So management in Fort Worth decided to cut jobs everywhere, even in places that aren't down as much as others. So everybody that still has a job in Dilworth is working there butt off. Morale is really bad. So haven't had that much time to get the house ready to sell, but I'm glad to still have a job. Also work related, I applied for a management job in Bismarck. It's an office job with set hours and days off. I don't even know what that is anymore. So I hope that will come through. They are also laying people off at Tracy's work. She is really stressed out and worried. I don't think she has anything to worry about, but you never now.

We have been looking at alot of houses recently but are afraid to pull the trigger with our work situations right now. We found a smaller 2 story in West Fargo that we both really like. The back yard faces a greenway/park area and there are baseball fields,parks, and a school across the street. It would be exactly what we are looking for. It's just a great area. I'll post a pic.

Madison and Mac are both doing great. Mac can almost run right now. She's a busy bee like her sister. Madison is getting old. She know when people are lieing to her and always has something up her sleeve. They both love the lake. We have made it out there 2 weekends already this year.

Anyways, talk to you later



Oh yeah, I would like to mention that Roger Federer is officially "The Man"

Bagels at State

Macky's B-day

Well, McKenna turned one earlier this week. We have everything from the basement upstairs so we didn't have a party for her. She got shafted. But here are some pictures. She is also walking now. Getting old.

Madison is turning into a little diva herself. She can say complete sentences, count, sing ABCs. Still working on the dressing herself and potty training. She is getting excited for tennis this summer and the lake. We will see how it goes. That girl has more energy than she know what to do with.

Tracy has been applying for jobs in GF. We want to eventually move back there, but there are really no good jobs for her, unless she takes a big pay cut. So we will keep you updated on that situation.

We are also putting our house on the market this summer. Well hopefully in a couple of weeks. Our plan is that Tracy has a job in GF when the house sells. Plan B is to get a townhome or a apartment until Tracy gets a job in GF. That way we can get up and move with no commitments here. Plan C is to get a new house if Fargo. If the right house opens up in the right neighborhood in Fargo we would be tempted stay in Fargo. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Tracy and I also spent 4 days in Milwaukee last month. Zac and Jordan brought us to some really cool pubs and restaraunts. We will forsurely be going back there again. We had a great time.

But the flood has been comsuming our thoughts and time that last couple of weeks. River is supposed to crest again next weeks then we can put this behind us and get back to some consistancy.

It was my b-day yesterday. Happy Harrys was having a big sale so me and Tracy went there to check it out. We got 12 bottles of wine, liter of smirnoff, 24 pack of bluemoon. For 70 bucks. Can beat that. I guess the party is at our house. Anyways, hope everybody has a great easter.

Madison is 3

Madison had her 3rd birthday party last weekend. She had a blast and got a lot of gifts. We went to Chucky Cheese. She was a little shy at first but had fun putting the tokens in the machine. I was also surprised that the pizza wasn't that bad, overpriced, but not that bad.

Next Thursday, Tracy and I, leave for Milwaukee. Going to spend 4 days there visiting Zac and Jordan. Josh is also coming. Should be a blast. It's going to be the longest that we have both been apart from the girls. Weird.

Also, mother nature dumped a ton of snow on us last night. Not good considering that my snowblower broke its belt last week. Not good for Robby. Anyway, the neighbor is renting a bobcat tonight and hes going to dig us out. Here are some pictures. It took me a long time just to dig a path for Tracy to get to work this morning.

Lunak Family

Well not much new at the Lunak household. McKenna did learn to crawl since my last posting. So you have to keep a close eye on her now. We also bought a Touareg. Which I wasn't to big on at first, but now I love it.

Here are some pics.
Some action shots of Madison jumping off the couch. She loves to jump, or as she would say "jump it"
Later

What's Up

Hey, haven't posted in awhile, so I figured that some updating was due. Alot has happened since my last post. Like my LCD TV taking a dump on me. I had to return it and get a new plasma. It pissed me off because I bought a extended warranty with it and they told me that if I had any problems "just bring it back and we will exchange it with a new one, no matter what the price difference". Well that was BS. Because my old tv was 720p and the new ones are 1080p. So even though they were 42 inch lcd tv's, they were different and that warranty wouldn't apply. Mother F*&*ers. So I could either return it for my money back or send it in and get it fixed. 6-8 weeks. So I returned it and got a 42 inch Plasma. It's a way better TV, but I had to dish up an extra couple hundred dollars for it.

On a better note, Madison had a great Halloween. She got to go trick or treating and still has some candy left. She loves candy. I find open wrappers hidden around the house. I'll post some pictures later, internet is acting up.

Oh yeah, we had the family over for Thanksgiving this year. Everything went smoothly and will probably do it again. McKenna has been sick for the last couple weeks, she keeps getting ear infections and they gave her some sort of shot today. If that doesn't work she had go in for some 3 step shot, and if that doesn't work she might have something wrong with her ear canal and might have to have surgery. Poor little girl.

Well thats about it. Been working alot and that should end here any week. I guess the recession is starting to hit that RR and there might be layoffs this year. We will see what happens.

Anal Here

Hey, it's me Bobby Anal. Finally got done with my training last week. It seemed to just drag on for so long. I'm back working as a conductor and I don't think I realized how nice I had it for 2 months training.

Well, Tracy and I went to the Twin Cities last weekend. We met Josh, Jordan, and Zac there and went to a Vikings game. It was pretty sweet. We had a hotel right downtown and were able to walk everywhere we went, and the Vikes won.

Anyways, here are some updated pictures of the girls.

My duaghters

Here are some new pics of the girls.





Got back from KC last weekend. God it feels good to finally be home. Didn't really do much. Tom came that Saturday and we went downtown. That was the highlight of the trip. Otherwise a big waste of time.

Andy and Becca came by this week. Haven't seen Becca for over a year. We are meeting up with them this weekend at the lake. So Brian if you are going to be at Union, call me.
