Finally friday

Of course, it's pizza night. Rod and Kathy were there and kelsie was here to visit her grandparents. Pizza, running through the grape vines, reading books together. Overall a great evening!

Sushi Night

Work, Birthdays and Time with My Sis

 This week went by fast. It was just the usual with work. Friday, I decided to play hooky and go with Ashley to Dodge just to get away. Jill and Lane were able to meet us, we did walmart and Applebees, then Ashley and I went to a movie. It had been 8 years since she had been to a movie, so I think she was due. I back back in Greensburg in enough time to go pick up the kids.

Saturday morning at 5am, Travis and Ray left for Colorado until Thursday. The kids and I went over to mom and dads to help picking the Foch grapes. Ashley got there a bit later with her kids, so will all of the kids (Tanner was there too with Lane and Wyatt) we were not any help. Ashley and I decided to take the kids to my house to get them out of everyone's hair. It was fun, but crazy. They played, we got them lunch, then Ashley took hers plus Wyatt over to mom and dads for naps. I kept Lane and my two. All three slept for over 2 hours, so I had some nice quiet time.

In the evening we went to Tanner and Jill's for Wyatt's birthday party.

Truman tasting the grape juice. All of the kids loved it!

All of them waiting for lunch at my house. Surprisingly, they waited very patiently for me to finish getting lunch ready.

 

Tonight we met the Kern's at the park then they came over for popcicles on the porch.

 

Bedtime story

Whew

I had started writing this post Friday night, but lost it when our power went out. It has been a busy week but a good weekend. This week we hosted a conference in town that I helped organize, had the unveiling of the Fleener-Beck Memorial Friday morning, and we had a booth at the Taste of the Wild West event in Dodge Friday evening. Friday was a long day, around 13 hours, but a good one. I am so glad to see the Fleener memorial in place and glad that John Fleener is pleased. I have enjoyed getting to know him better over the last few months working on this project.

 Saturday was the Twilight Theatre fundraising auction. I went out with the kids and Pat brought them home around noon for naps. I bought a little white sewing desk. Today we went to church, and home for lunch and naps. It was good to have some downtime and relax. I held Amelia in the chair while she slept, I snoozed a little and watched volleyball on the olympics. After they both woke up, we went over to mom and dad's. Ashley and Tanner's families were there. We picked more of the table grapes, had pizza, and Clair and Wilda Banta came over and gave all of us rides in the Model T. It was fun! I didn't get any pictures of us in the Model T, I hope Ashley or Jill got some good ones. ;)
