My sister Kimm and I have been spending more time together, which I LOVE! She moved to Wayne, so she's only 30 miles away! YAAAY! Kimm and her daughter Myles came up on Friday! The kids don't get to play very often and LOVED it. Thanks to Myles who wanted to play upstairs in the boys' room (which they normally don't like to do) because they played up there most of the morning today so I could get some cleaning done!
My wonderful niece, Jinell, who is 16 came over after we got the kids to bed so we could have some adult time. We went to the Green....Green Diamond that is. If you don't know what it is, its a pretty well known bar in St. James, Nebraska. I'm not sure how many people live in St. James but there can't be more than 5 houses. It's the bar we go to every Easter on our 4-wheeler ride. I was very sad when we went in and all the walls were painted! Every year we would write Easter Ride 20(whatever) and all sign our names....Now its all painted over...BOOO!
We went to Lyle's in Newcastle too! Man, I love Newcastle! I know I grew up in Arlington, but feel so much more at home in Newcaslte, than I do in Arlington. It reminds me of the Cheers song....."where everybody knows your name....and the people glad you came...."
We got to spend time with friends of ours, Corey and Latricia. Latricia and Beau grew up together. We've been able to spend more time with them and they are great. They have 3 kids too and Tricia has been great about watching the boys when we don't have a sitter! We got to have fun with them this weekend too! I love time with my kids, but its important to have adult conversation!
Saturday we were pretty lazy. We let the kids play, we watched the Hangover! I loved having girls in my house! I got to paint my nails with my sister & Myles even let me paint her toes! Thanks so much for coming guys!
On Sunday we went to Church, which I LOVE! I got to lector and Beau was communion assistant. It's so nice to be part of a church. We are excited for family game night coming up later this month. They have a carnivore club for the guys....they go out and eat. Then we are going to have a bowling night too! This year I volunteered to be the Vacation Bible School Director and can't wait! (I probably should be looking through that instead of typing this).
Then Sunday night we had Beau's brother Eldon and his fiance Katie, his other brother Aaron and his Mom out for dinner. I made cornflake chicken which everyone seemed to like...then the boys, big and small had a nerf gun fight! When the kiddos went to bed, we played UNO. This was Aaron's first time playing cards with us! He learned fast that anything goes!!!!
Hope everyone else had a great weekend!
Thanks for sharing your blog with all of us. You have a lot to offer and I appreciate how you set a good example of being a loving parent and spending time with your kids, which I LOVE!
