Great Weekend

Things here have been going really good. Since I have posted last we have kept fairly busy. Both Ronnie and I worked Thursday and Friday. Friday when we got off of work and picked up the boys we thought that we would do our family night. We let the boys pick what they wanted to eat and then we watched a movie together. We try to do something like this every week and Friday night just works really well especially if I don't work the next morning. After the movie the kids went to bed.

Saturday morning started early as both Isaac and Avery thought it was time to get up at 6 in the morning! They do not even want to get up that early during the week. Ronnie took Isaac to his soccer game at 1 and the two younger boys stayed at home with me since it was pretty cold out. The boys actually took a little nap that afternoon but I am not surprised since they got up early. While they were napping we got ready to go out to celebrate one of our friend's 30th birthdays. Ronnie's friend Crystal watched the boys and they were all excited to go over there. They were asking about it as soon as they woke up. They really like to play with her three daughters. Ronnie and I then enjoyed a nice evening out together. We do not get to do that too often so we enjoy it when we can.

Sunday brought some nice weather. I had Ronnie help me get the lawnmower started since I have so much trouble with it all the time. I then mowed the back yard while Ronnie helped my parents move in a new couch. They took our old one out and gave us a newer one. I didn't realize how large the back yard is and how out of shape I was. I am feeling it today. Ronnie then took Isaac and Avery out fishing since it was free fishing weekend here in South Dakota. They did not catch anything but had a good time. When they finally got back we headed out to my parents farm. The boys really wanted to see their aunt Kylie and their aunt Raine. They also were looking forward to seeing the ducks and the horses.

The boys all enjoyed feeding the ducks but unfortunately I was not able to take pictures since the battery in our camera was dead. Kylie did so we will have to see how they turn out. The boys then got to sit on Mercy, aunt Raine's horse. Mason was all brave until we got up to the horses and then he wanted to go back to Ronnie. Isaac and Avery rode the horse and really liked it. We then enjoyed a wonderful meal prepared by my mother and sisters. We brought an ice cream pizza from Dairy Queen for dessert. It was nice spending some time with the family.

When Avery woke up this morning the first thing he wanted to do was go out and feed the ducks again. He actually liked that more then riding the horse. He liked the dogs too. He thought at one point that one of the mother dogs was fighting with her baby but they were only playing. Avery just got back from speech so I will have to go and get him. Will try to write more later. Have laundry to do, and a lot of it. Then Bailey might be coming over today. This is the kids last week of school too so they are all excited. Will have to find some activity for them all to do. Will write more later.
