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!!!

Our Little Girl turned 2!!!

Yesterday, February 26, 2009 DD turned 2!!! It doesn't seem like she should be 2 already...how time flies! Before you know it she will be going to school...I don't even want to think about that right now. We have already been seeing some TERRIBLE TWO's for awhile now, but it just seems like there is a little more attitude with it now...lol!

We had her birthday party last Saturday, February 21, 2009!!! I will post more on it shortly! For her actual birthday yesterday we went over and had lunch at Grammy's with Uncle M and Aunt E and had Biscuits and Sausage Gravy and after lunch Uncle M, Daddy, and DD went out to feed Uncle M's "heipers". DD doesn't let Uncle M slack on feeding his heifers. I think every time we are over there DD will say "M, go feed heipers or cows"!

After they got done feeding the heifers Daddy and Uncle M went back out to work on fence down at the pasture and DD and I went to the zoo!!! It was a pretty nice day out. It was like 61 and slightly breezy, but not terrible especially for Ks!

We took DD's new wagon that we got her for her birthday and she loved it! The last few times we have went to the zoo DD would sit in her stroller, but there is some stuff she just can't see without getting out and then once she is out then she wants to walk and to hold her hand and push the stroller at the same time is just a pain. Also, I noticed when she is out of the stroller she seems to socialize and interact more.

She rode for awhile and then she decided she wanted to get out and pull the wagon herself. She told me "Sara, you stop" and would move my hand off of the handle and she would walk up to one of the exhibits look for a minute and then grab the wagon and say "Sara, come on"! For those of you who don't know DD started calling me S when she first started talking. She said "mommy" at first, but within a week or two I was "Sara". Don't know why for sure...I guess because everyone else calls me Sara!!! She goes back and forth, depends on her mood or if she wants something...lol!!!

When we were coming out of the Gorilla exhibit and getting ready to cross the bridge I asked her if she wanted to take a picture with the gorilla statues and she told me "No, I fine! Lets go" but later she pet the bear statue! See that's what I mean about the Attitude, but it was really quite cute!

Here are a few pictures of DD on the cow in the petting zoo. She was all about it until she realized the head moves and then she was afraid she would fall.

During supper last night when Daddy asked her about the zoo DD said "Fun", "See Monkeys, See Monkeys at the Zoo" and then proceeded to tell him all the animals that she saw! All in all I think she had a pretty good birthday. She kept going around and saying "Happy, Happy Birthday" and asked after supper last night "cake, Birthday cake"! I told her that we already had her cake! She got up this morning and said "Happy Birthday", so now she thinks everyday is her birthday!!!
