Busy Weekend

I don't have any exciting pictures b/c I left my camera disk in my computer when I last downloaded my pictures. That is sooooo me! My sister I am sure is laughing. Let's see...what did we do since I last posted?

Friday night after cleaning up at the church from our RAGBRAI event we went home and had left over baked potatoes with cheese and sour cream etc. They were pretty yummy although tasting a little "microwaved" now.

We had rented the girls a movie so they could chill awhile. Jeff and I worked all evening on some landscaping. I will show a picture of that when I get my disk in my camera! Ken and Katie (Jeff's sister) arrived during our dirty project. They are thinking of moving here, Ken is looking for a job with Geico headquarters and he can work from his home. We are very excited to think of them moving here. Of course Jeff tells them that they will have to watch the girls all the time while we jet around the world on vacation and then watch the dogs when we leave on family vacations. I think that by the end of the weekend they were changing their minds about moving close to us! HA!

Saturday we slept in a little, drank coffee a lot and stayed in our pj's too long. Very nice!
The men then went to help someone from our church move-Ken hasn't even moved here yet and is already helping others move. They also went and bought like 40 more bags of river rock for our landscaping project. The kids, Katie and I went to the mall. We ate lunch there and walked around. Madison and Jenna went to "Journey to the Center of the Earth." Mikayla wasn't happy because I wouldn't let her go, too scary. Sometimes being a mom doesn't win you any popularity contests. Ken and Jeff met us at the mall where we watched Mik and Haley play on the Play structure inside the mall.

We then left there and went home. The guys took showers and us adults went out for dinner. Before dinner we drove around and looked inside about 5 different condos that K & K would be interested in. They really like one of them. After dinner we drove around and walked by the river for awhile.

Sunday we went to church and then we all went to Applebee's with 2 other families. We had a nice time. We then went home and crashed on the couch and watched the Cubs for awhile. K & K left about 4:30. Without giving too much info. and if you feel like adding to your prayer list ...you could add Ken and Katie. Their last 2 years has literally been "hell on earth." You can't imagine the awful stuff they have had to endure...caused by ex-husbands and rebellious kids. Their lives will never be the same! One reason to move to Iowa is to try and "start over," if that is possible. Please life them up in your prayers.

This morning we all slept in...even the dogs! They didn't wake up until almost 9! I can't tell you the last time I have slept so late. The dogs were kept busy yesterday by the girls as they performed many "dog shows!" We also got to bed late. In fact it is 11 a.m. and Jenna is just now crawling out of bed!

Today I plan on going to JCPenney's with the girls and hopefully finding some school clothes, they are having a huge sale. I will let you know how that goes!
