Memorial Weekend and Day 2009

I know I am a little late on posting this, but it has been a little hectic lately just trying to get some things done that have been put off for awhile and DD has been fighting allergies...ugh.

Anyways we had a really good weekend busy but good!!!

We started the weekend off Friday night with a BBQ and ridin 4-wheelers at a friends house. She is actually a friend that we went to high school with and her and her husband just put a house in a couple miles from us and they have a spot on the river to ride!!! After riding we came back to there house and roasted marshmallows and made smores...yum!!! It was a late night but fun!


Saturday we worked on some stuff around the house and then Saturday evening we went into another friend from high school's house where they were having a BBQ also. It was a great time chatting with some old friends and eating some yummy food! Another late night but good times!






Sunday we got up and was going to go to church but realized shortly that the air conditioner was not working right...and of course this weekend had been one of the warmer weekends that we have had. So...after some investigating we realized that the air conditioner had froze up and something about some line going into the air conditioner had something wrong...really didn't care what it was just wanted it fixed and fast!
After getting the air conditioner fixed...thanks babe and J...it was to late to go to church and it was time to go meet my mom, sister, and brother for lunch. It was great and spent the rest of the day relaxing and messing around the house!!!!

On Monday we went to the zoo!!! Our zoo has a new tiger exhibit and we were dying to see it and it was warm but not terrible so we packed up and went for about 3 hours!!! That evening my SIL had invited us down to eat supper with them. They had smoked some meat that afternoon and made some other yummy things to go with it!!! We discussed the family garden that we are doing together and shared several laughs!!! The rest of the evening was spent relaxing from the busy but GREAT weekend!!!



Oh and DH informed me that I wasn't going to know what to do come Tuesday when I actually had to cook again, but I am sitting here now and thinking how could we actually eat after all the eating that we did this weekend...we could definitely skip a few meals...lol, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way!!!

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day!!!

BEAUtiful Day...

Saturday, February 7, 2009, was gorgeous out...especially for February! It was about 71 degrees! So, we literally spent all day outside!

DD started the morning out by going to ride with Daddy in the tractor or I should say by sleeping in the tractor. Something about riding in the tractor puts DD to sleep, so she will take her blanket and pillow and there is enough room on the floor beside the door and seat that she can curl up and sleep. It must not be to bad because she will sleep the majority of the time!

This picture is from a couple days before, but you get the idea! The little ball that you see through the glass on the right side is DD curled up sleeping and she was only riding for a little bit when she crashed!
After riding with Daddy on the tractor we went out and helped Daddy clean up and re-arrange the big shed.



After we finished with that it was about 12:30 and we had been talking about taking DD down to Donut Bay, which is a park and pond in town to feed the geese and ducks. So, we decided to go buy and pick something up for lunch and go eat at the park and then feed the ducks. I gathered up all the old bread that I had been saving...we had planned to do this a couple of times when it was nice and one thing or another kept us from going... and headed to town! We went by Taco Bell and grabbed lunch and went and sat at the park and watched the geese and ate our lunch! Then fed the geese and ducks when we were done!

After we got done at Donut Bay we headed home and stopped at Uncle M's and Aunt E's. Cousin C was outside riding his 4-wheeler and then he decided he was going to wash his because big brother T was washing his 4-wheeler. DD decided she was going to help and C was so sweet about showing her how to do it and letting her help! After they got done washing the 4-wheeler he was back to riding his 4-wheeler. DD wanted a ride so C took her on a short, very slooow ride. Then they went out back and played on the swing set and in C's clubhouse!
When we got home DH needed to feed and water the cows and heifers and of course DD wanted to help! She has started this deal with grabbing her little wagon and wanting DH to put the bucket of feed for the heifers in it. It doesn't fit very good but she tries it every time and then decides against it and then just helps Daddy carry the bucket.
When we finished feeding and watering it was almost dark so we went in and fixed supper because DD informed us that she needed supper "I eat, I eat supper" as she says. We had a very eventful day, but we sure enjoyed it and it was such a beautiful day for it!!!
