k- I realized that we have not updated this in a couple of weeks. It feels like we just did, but in reality it has been quite a while ago and yet again a lot has happened. Mother's Day was really great! I actually came up with the idea to paint mom's upstairs since she has been slowly working on it. All the kids...and Lisa pooled money and we were able to buy enough paint to finsih the living room, dining room and entry way. I took that Friday off and with the help of Lisa, Michelle and Steve; we were able to surprise her by the time she got home. The house looks really really good. A lot better than the ugly PINK!!! Lisa and I went back this past weekend and put on a second coat and put the furniture back. I am glad that we were able to surprise mom and hopefully make her day a little better.
To finish out Mother's Day we had everyone over to our house for dinner. I think it went pretty well and we had a good time. I made sour cream potatoes and candied chicken. Michelle brought yummy salad and home made rolls. And Lisa topped it all off with our favorite ice cream desert. YUMMY!!! We ended the night for a hard core game of wizard.
Other than that not much has happened, but the time sure has gone by fast. Nate finished school...and passed his class! Great job baby! One down...a million more to go. He is now trying to get on with Lowe's for the summer to help fund our summer time fun... sprinkler system, patio and lawn :) We went and priced everything and can't wait to spend all that money :( It makes me sick that that stuff is that much. Next year we will focus on a fence.
I do have to say that we have a killer BBQ!!! Nate was talking with his buddies at Lowe's and found out that there were "last years models" still available at an extreme discount. SSSOOO, Nate convinced me to get a $125 grill that was originally in the $500 or $600 range. We will take some pictures soon. It takes natural gas, so we had the people come to put a spout outside for us. Nate is all ready to grill!
Our Sunday class is going well also. I am really really impressed with how much the kids know. Just like Karen said, I did know half the stuff they know at their age. I guess I didn't pay attention :( We have some wild boys that we have to seperate each week, but other than that it is good.
This past weekend we went to a couple of wedding receptions, which was really fun. I saw a lot of people I haven't seen forever! It was Bryce Wheeler's little sisters reception, so it was really good seeing him. The other one was for Hillary Severe. I have not seen her or her family since high school so that was really cool. I am so excited for her and wish her the best.
I am really really excited for this coming week. I have Monday-Thursday off. I am getting my hari butched, I am getting back into my contacts, and I get to party with Bekah and Hunter!!! I can't wait!
Have a great rest of the week! I will post pictures soon of the paint job and of the new grill!See ya
