Saturday Fun

Our new toy, can't believe it's not green!

The GPS system I'm supposed to be able to figure out for Curt. Told I'm not getting paid enough for that!

View from my "buddy" seat :-)

Katelyn had her final performance for show choir today and I have to say after 3 years of watching these fun performances I'm going to kind of miss it. She decided to focus next year on some other activities so I'm sure we'll still have a lot of things to do. She was glad to see Shelley, Carmen, Madeline, Anna, Sandy, Emma & Grandma all at the performance today. :-)

After Katelyn's show Curt called me to see if I could ride a long with him for awhile. Since I hadn't seen him in the daylight since Sunday and he reassured me I had my own comfy "buddy" seat off to Osky I went.

I can understand why he wants company as we went around the field at a racing speed of 7 MPH, hours of that would totally drive me nuts. :-) My hubby is loving it though. He is getting a bit tired of climbing into bed after midnight , thank goodness for Sunday naps!

My blogger helper, Midge.

For some reason the minute I sit down on the laptop Midge is sitting on top of me and helping me type. It works now but if she ever grows it might get a bit tricky. :-)

Easter

After a fun day at my Mom's eating our body weight in a yummy lunch, Easter candy and birthday cake for Braden & Katelyn we went home and burned off our native grasses that surround our house. I thought I would point out to Kurtis the correct way to have a grass fire and not have to call the fire department. :-) We did call the police department to tell them we were doing this and then got a call from them an hour later making sure everything was fine because they'd had 40 calls reporting the fire and heard it was incredibly close to the buildings. Not sure what fire they were looking at.

Katelyn made a bargain that if we all helped with this project that we should head to Jersey Freeze for supper. There's nothing better than green apple ice cream covered in caramel for supper! I'd already totally blown my diet for the day so I might as well blow it really good. Back to Triscuits and Healthy Choice Steamers today! :-)

Prom, a wedding, Easter... whew!

This weekend was a busy one. Katelyn went to her first Prom Saturday night. I told her since she was only a freshman she was going to have to borrow or find a free dress this year. I'm not going to be buying new dresses for the next 4 years!

She got really lucky and got an old dress from a friend that is as tall as Katelyn and Mom only had to take in a little bit at the top so it wouldn't fall down all night since it wa strapless. I should've told her I wouldn't pay for her hair being done though too after I wrote a $62 check. Jeesh, I should've got into hairdressing!

She looked great though and had a lot of fun. Curt and I had a friends wedding at the same time Kate had to get ready and leave so thank goodness Mom lives up the road and played taxi driver, photographer .... for me. Thanks Mom!

Curt and I were off to our wedding where the ring bearer was the grooms hunting dog. A new one for us but pretty cool. The Pastor made a reference in the ceremony about now that (Andy the groom) has trained Chase his dog, he now has to train Carol his bride in the way God wants. he had a point tied to his scripture (just didn't come out right) but you should have heard the gasp by the women in the crowd and the "No he didn't just say that!" comments. needless to say Curt thinks we should always listen to the Pastors and believes that he should start"training" me. I'm thinking after 20 years he has no hope! :-)

Last night we had the Jews for Jesus organization come and present Christ in the Passover for our church.YF was the lucky ones to head up serving 120 people supper and getting the presentation set up which was a huge undertaking I found out half way through prepping for it. if you ever get a chance to go to one of these presenations I highly recommend it, it was really cool and interesting. A lot of work but really worth it.

Not liking the horseradish part of the presentation.


Washing of the hands

Off to set up for a prayer path our church is doing this week now. I really need to learn the word, NO.
