Wonderful Weekend!

I love the weekends. We all get to be together and spend time having fun together.
Okay well most weekends are that way. I'd say my Friday was the best. It was in the 70's, clear and a perfect day to be outside. The kids played and had fun while I cleaned in the yard and mowed. I love mowing!! I really do!! The smell of a fresh cut lawn and the way it looks does something for me. I worked on my flowerbed in the back and we made some plans on how we want the deck and yard to look eventually. Since I worked outside all day, we ordered pizza for supper. That is always a treat!!
Saturday was hectic!! It all started with Opening Ceremonies for Little League at 10am. Brendon is in Coach pitch again this year. Next year he will be in Minors and Jeremiah will be in T-ball. James got roped into being Asst. coach for Brendon's team. Anyway, we started at 10 like I said and then I had to leave to be at a Vendor Fair by 11 to set up my CM stuff. I was there until 6pm then home. Meanwhile James and the boys took a load to the dump and then there were Baseball pictures at 12:30 then home again for a little while till B's game at 3pm. Then after we all got home we got a call about 6:30 asking what we were up to and would we want to go to Mackenzie River for pizza for my step-mom's birthday. So we loaded up and went out for supper with the whole family. It was fun to spend time with everyone. Had lots of good laughter and visiting. Food was good too!! Then home to get the boys their baths and get them to bed early as we had church today.
We got going early enough for a change that we went to the 9:15am service. The boys stayed with us as Jeremiah has a little cold and he can't be in Kids church. Service was good. Pastor talked on the DiVinci Code book and put things into perspective for people who are getting up in arms about it. After all it is just a novel. Not fact. Truth be know there are some "facts" that really aren't fact at all. But anyway it was really good. The Bible always has been and always will be the only true account of Christ's life. I trust what God Breathed!!!
Now this afternoon we are pretty laid back. Boys are napping, James is playing PS2 and here I am at the computer. My favorite place sometimes. It is pretty dreary and rainy out or I would work in the yard again. Hope tomorrow is nicer. It is suppose to be.
Well take care and have a wonderful week.

Tag your it...

Hmmm... Haven't seen this before, but I'm pretty new to blogging. So here goes.
My SIL has a blog and when I went to read it I found out she had been tagged and she was tagging me and several others.
Here's the scoop. I get tagged, have to pick someone and write 5 things about them, then tag some other people. So I will write about my little sis, Becky
1. She has 2 children
2. She is very involved with their lives.
3. She runs the Little League Concession stand.
4. She is an awesome cook.
5. She is one of my best friends!!!!

Now I am tagging Renee, Markay, Don J., and my MIL Kathy.
If you aren't a blogger you can always do this by email I would think. But blogging is so much fun.
Must go for now kiddies are hungry!!

Its morning...

and here I sit at the computer again!! This has been a pretty good and productive week. James finally got the trim cut for the livingroom. Yeah!! So now I just have to prime and paint it. Then the livingroom is done. Except for replacing the window someday. I think the next project will be finishing the work in the kitchen ( refinishing the bottom cupboards) and finish the boys room. There is still a little trim work to be done there. I am planning a garage sale in June, so have been going through one room at a time to get rid of stuff. Should have a pretty good sale. Yesterday I went out in the front yard and started the spring cleaning. I got the flowerbeds cleaned and today hopefully we can turn the ones that have nothing in them and then plant some seeds!! Also need to mow as we are planning a BBQ tomorrow with family for Easter.
Sometime today we will also dye our Easter eggs. Jeremiah has been looking forward to this all week long. He is so excited that we will probably have to do it right away this morning. LOL. He is such a kick. Last night when his Daddy got home he was playing on the computer and he made his Daddy come sit with him and play the game. They sat there before supper and then for quite awhile after supper playing. It was cute. James is such a good dad.
Yesterday, my mom, the kids and I went shopping and then later we went to look at modular homes. Boy are some of them nice. I so love this one. It has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, a livingroom and family room, a country kitchen with attached utility room. The master bedroom is almost the whole end of the house. It was really nice and I expected it to be quite expensive, but it wasn't. The man said it was 79,800 and that is with them bringing it out and craning it onto a foundation. I didn't think that was too bad. Oh well it is just a dream for now. Maybe in a few years when I go back to work full time.
Hmmmm... I think that about catches me up for now. I better go eat and get ready for the day. Can't wait to get outside and get to work. I love my yard!!!

Happy Easter to everyone!

Rain, Rain go away I really want some sun today!!!

Okay, I really am glad for the moisture. I even like it when it rains but....it has been doing this now for a couple of days. We were teased one day with some wonderful 70's. Now we are back to shivering in the coolness! Alright enough with my complaining!!
How is everyone out there? I am doing pretty darn good. Had to cancel my crop this weekend due to everyone already having other commitments. That's okay though, think I will do some painting or maybe go ahead and spend the time cropping here at home.
We are changing rooms here. The gameroom has been Levi's home for the past couple of months, but with me babysitting, I need the room to be a toy room. Levi is back in with the boys in their room now. We made it strictly a "bed" room. They sleep there and their clothes are in there. That way when Levi is sleeping during the day he won't be woke up by all the noise from the kids. The room he was in is just off the kitchen. The boys room is in the back of the house and should be quieter. Also this gives the kids more room to play! It is the biggest room in the house. I am hoping to paint it first before moving everything in but it is so darn chilly I'm not sure if I should. Not to mention I can't open windows with the weather the way it is.
On to even better news!!! Tawny called me on Tuesday and they found out the baby is a girl!!!! Yea! Now I can go out and buy those cute outfits I keep finding. I was so hoping for a girl. Now they will have one of each! I think I might even get something for her today as I am going shopping with my mom.
James is doing well. He is really enjoying his job more these days. I am so glad to see him happy. The boys are doing well too. Jeremiah is such a kick. He is learning so much. I accessed him the other day with some flash cards that we have. He knows his colors (some in Spanish!), can identify his letters, all uppercase and most lowercase, knows shapes and can count to 13 and sometimes higher. He can also add and subtract pretty good from 1-10. So we have started "school" for him and the little girl I watch. We work for about an hour a day. That way she will be ready for kindergarten this fall and we will see what we do with Jeremiah. It all depends on what happens at the school here in the next year!!! Becky is running for school board and will probably get a position as no one else seems to want to step up to the plate!!! Hope she does! It will be a good thing I think.
Well I better get going. Have to run my errands. Hope you all have a great day!!
