Pictures from Friday & Saturday
Bill & I had some errands to run, so we accomplished those before the Noffsingers arrived on Friday night. We had a great evening of visiting, kids playing and pure silliness!! The kids went to bed around 9:15, with Kristin following at 10, and Ryan, who was busy saving the Universe with Declan, Sean, Jeremy & a friend, didn't come to bed until 1:30--shortly after the rest of us headed to bed. It's not very often the big guys (Sean & Jeremy) play with the little guys...so it was a treat for all of them to play together on Friday night.
Saturday, the kids all slept in until after 8AM!! It was a great treat for all of us! We enjoyed a leisurely morning, made cinnamon rolls, had a nice visit on the porch enjoying coffee and watched the kids play. Around 1pm, Bill, Brooklyn & Jason went for a nap, Brady & Ryan went fishing, and Jen & I pulled the pots out of garden shed, cleaned them out, and put them on the porch....I see a few things that survived the winter. I had blooming fuscias and Martha Washington Geraniums until at least January, when we had the cold freeze. Oh well....we'll see what survives!
After the kids naps, Jason & Kristin watered my pots, then painted rocks for the rock garden. They did a great job, and had a great time! Brooklyn slept almost 4 hours, and was a very happy girl when she got up.
Bill put up our new ceiling fan, and Brady assisted with moral support when he got home from Fishing. It took Bill (according to Brady's calculations) less than one half beer to complete his job! Brady enjoyed that beer while chatting with Bill after a hard afternoon of fishing and getting a sunburn! Thanks Brady, for taking Ryan fishing--he sure enjoyed his guy time with you!
We had an early supper, grilling outside, then went for a ride around the lake. Kristin had a headache, so we asked her what would make her feel better, and of course it was Dairy Queen...so well all had a treat after supper and our ride.
Home for bathes, and a little playing before bed. Shawnna & Jen worked on donkeys ( a craft for Sunday school lesson!)...and we finished donkeys at 11:00! It was a much earlier night for us,as we were all tired from the late night before, and we had church in the morning.
We woke on Sunday, the kids again sleeping until after 8--Brooklyn slept until 8:40--and we all headed out to church after a smooth morning, and were there early! After church, we headed home, enjoyed lunch together, before Jen & Brady headed for home. It was a great time of fellowship for us, and such a wonderful idea Jason!! Don't let us wait so long to do it again!
After Jen & Brady left, we headed out for Audrie's FIRST birthday party! We had a great time and enjoyed being a part of her day. There were a lot of people there, and we enjoyed catching up with the people we knew.
Audrie's 1st B-day pictures
After the b-day party, we headed to Salem to the Lazy boy store. Our couch had an accident and we placed a claim with our furniture insurance policy which we purchased when we bought the new couch. Needless to say, the fabric has been discontinued, so we had a choice to make a cash settlement for a lesser amount, or do a "re-select" with a credit for the full amount of the purchase prince. Needless to say, we've selected a new couch! We should wrap all that paperwork up in a few weeks, and be on the way to sitting in comfort again! We enjoyed a beautiful drive home from Salem the back roads, and arrived home in time to feed ourselves, the animals, and get ready for school & work tomorrow! It was a great weekend...all the way around! Check out this photo we took on the way to Audrie's b-day party! It was a perfect day!
