A few weeks later...

Hello all! I hope the last few weeks were good for you. Ours were not very eventful. A few trips to the park, a few playdates, you get the point. This past weekend was probably the most exciting, as we took Sawyer to his first movie in the movie theater. We went as a family to Kung Fu Panda. It was pretty good, and there were a lot of funny parts that made the kids laugh and clap. Sawyer did well, and stayed in his seat for most of the movie. The kids especially enjoyed having drinks, popcorn and candy.

On Saturday night, we attended a work party for Chris. It was for all Poudre Valley Health Systems employees. I think there were a few thousand people there. We waited in lines a lot though, so it was hard to stay excited. They had a lot of good food--popcorn, nachos, sno-cones, ice cream treats, cotton candy, and we had hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner. We tried to do face-painting, but after 20 minutes of standing in a line that wouldn't move, we moved on. Caylee and I stood in line for the bungee trampolines. If you ever get a chance to do those, they were SO fun. Caylee is my daredevil, as she wanted to go higher than anyone else. She also managed to get a back flip in one of her jumps. She was giggling and squealing and having a great time. We didn't get out of there until after the kids bedtime, so church the next morning was a little hectic. It was so much fun though.

Well, I hope everyone has a good week. Next time I will try to post a picture. I forgot to take my camera to that picnic, so I didn't get to take any pictures. Have a good one!

Visiting With My Sister

Yay, I finally got to see my sister, Toni, and her son, Jack. Talk about a happy little guy! He didn't sleep very well and was driving his mom crazy, but he sure is a cutie Toner! We were going to go swimming, but it wasn't very warm yesterday and the wind was on a rampage. So we hung out and talked. At dinner, the only sibling missing was Amy--miss you Amy, can't wait to see you next month!

I can't believe it is already Father's Day on Sunday. Guess I better get a move on so that Chris has a nice day! He just finished a wood project that he has been working on for a long time, and he installs it tomorrow. He made a mantle piece for a friend who didn't like the drywall mantle that they had. It looks really nice. He is way too modest about his work. Now maybe he can get MY projects done. :) Well, we better get going! Hope you are all doing well, and we miss you!

Time Flies

It's amazing how the time can get away from you! Our Memorial Day holiday was very short. The weather was very cold and full of rain, so we were not able to do our regular BBQ/pool activity that we normally do. We have had sick kids for the past couple of weeks. First some chest colds, and now we have had kids with fevers and more. Today I got to spend some minimal time decorating a float for a parade. Caylee wanted to ride on it, and had a great time. Today was also Relay for Life of Loveland. Kickoff was at 2, and I showed up at almost 4 for our team picture. Then I got to work a station from 4-5. Even though it was the bounce house and there were a couple of obnoxious kids, it was a lot of fun. It's amazing how much personality some of those little tykes have. Last year I spent the night as the relay lasts until 8:00 the following morning (Sunday). This year I decided I wanted to sleep better, which means I need my own bed. I also have to teach the Sharing Time lesson tomorrow. At least church is in the morning so it will be over really quickly! :)

My sister, Toni, is in town with her little man. His name is Jack. I can't wait to see them more when my kids get better. There is nothing like having family in town that you hardly ever get to see, and then not being able to see them as much as you wanted because of things like the flu. Oh well, that's life right? Even though it isn't too peachy-keen at the moment, it is still pretty good for us here in Milliken. I'll let you all know if I actually get to see my sister and nephew. Later my people...
