Monday is coming fast and furious! We have had a great week! Spent the weekend out at the farm, picking rocks, planting the garden, getting sunburned... Friday night, Jeremy and I left at around 4:30pm to go and pick up Amber from college for the summer. We had dinner out (don't get out alone too often so that was fun!), and headed to Indiana with the back seat taken out to make room for Amber's stuff. Brooke had the pleasure of staying home with the kids (and a few extra because she and Curt both had a friend over for the night). We got to the college at around 10:30pm and Amber was ready to go. We took about a half an hour to pack up her stuff, say her good-byes and were on the road again by 11:30pm after stopping to get her a bite to eat at McDonald's (and dessert for us). Got home about 3:30am and went straight to bed! I was awakened at around 9am by Lyndsay who thankfully slept in! It was a rough morning getting going, we kind of laid around then finally got out to the farm at 6pm or so. We started picking rocks, playing, etc. Saturday, the boys and I were picking rocks out of the garden so we could plant and I told Curt and Jeremy - all I ask is that you don't hit me with a rock... Dumb thing to say cuz not more than 5 minutes later, whack - Curt was throwing a rock into the bucket of the backhoe just as I was stepping and bending to pick one up. Right in the side of the face! I literally felt my brain shift and went down... I put my head between my legs for a few minutes until the pain subsided. It hit me in the side of the face, right between my jaws, luckily or I think it would've broken... So, I had a headache for a few days and motrin helped and a nice ugly bruise as well! So, I've been telling everyone he really rocked my world and Jeremy tells everyone he tried to stone me:) We also picked rocks out of the middle field again - up and down, very good exercise and helped me to lose 3 more pounds and get to my next goal in weight:) YAY! Also got sunburned,though:( Note to self, put on sunscreen and wear something my legs can get some color in next time!
Sunday was church and getting the garden planted and watered. Isaac was in the program for the kindergarten graduation even though he's in first grade, his class sang a song and it was cute! He went up with the other kids and they just kind of squeezed him out to where he didn't have a spot and he tried to get them to move, but had to go down and have brother Adam help him out! Poor guy! Back to the property that night after food at Wendy's on the way. Monday we got up and picked the rest of the rocks from the middle field then went up to the camper to get ready for company. We had a BBQ for Memorial Day with family and friends. It was lots of fun! Kids played, tired them out great! Everyone slept well that night! The kids and I got home around 9:30PM and Jeremy stayed the night to be there when our neighbor planted corn the next day to see if he could help. He picked rocks out of the back field all that morning while I got the kids to school and then headed out there to help. Amber hung out with me most of the weekend and we had fun... She got to drive the backhoe for us as we pitched rocks in. The corn got planted and we felt like something was accomplished - finally! Very thankful for the recent rain - Wednesday we stayed home and cleaned, got caught up on laundry, etc. School graduation and awards night at church. Amber's boyfriend graduated this year and Isaac got an award for all A's in school! Good job, Isaac! Amber went out to dinner afterwards with the Valdez's.
Today, Jeremy and I left at 7:30am to go to the union hall at work to listen to the informational meeting about our new contract and to vote. We got home at 12:15pm from that and then I took Brooke to the orthodontist for the bad news (financial part:() and she got her spacers in and goes back next thursday to have braces put on. I had a few appointments there for her last week as well. She also has an impacted tooth that she will have to have surgery for and a deep bite so they have to do a few extras to correct the problems. Wow it better be a beautiful mouth for $6,670.00! Thank goodness my insurance pays $2,200.00 worth! (Hopefully, if I still have a job:) I can't wait to see the results!
Right now we are vegging, the kids are at there dad's for a few hours, Isaac is playing a game, and the girls - well, I better go and check on them, Lyndsay just finished drawing all over the hallway wall with a pencil and brought me a few bottles of salad dressing from the fridge so they are obviously causing trouble out there and I need to get off of the computer! Have a great weekend - I have more pictures I will post later after cleaning up after the tornado that just passed through the house! Chris
