Weekend Blues

What a weekend. Well I guess I should say, "What a week". I have been sick so I haven't really blogged or anything else. Hopefully it passes soon. I felt pretty good Saturday and Dan and I worked the whole day. We mowed a bunch of lawns and helped John and Jessica with their yard. John had back surgery last week and so it was really nice to be able to help them out. We also had dinner with them and just had a great time visiting with them. Matthew loves playing with Kaylee, Kyler and Gage. Dan and I were really tired and sore but the feeling of accomplishment makes it all pretty great.

We took my computer to Best Buy and the totally messed it up. I have just spent the entire weekend, as I have had time, to fix it. I have probably spent 8 or 9 hours working on it. I think that I finally have it working again but not without some frustration.

Earlier in the week while Matthew and I were taking Dan dinner we found 3 bunnies eating grass on the side of the road. Matthew loves animals and thought that it was really fun to see rabbits in the wild. I have some pictures and that I will post as soon as I get them off of my camera.

Rock Creek Park

Matthew with his Hulk cake. I had been so sick that I wasn't able to make him a cake at that time but I did make up for it on Saturday.

Matthew's Birthday

Matthew got to have quite a few birthday parties this year. His birthday is on 3/19 and he is 6 years old. He has not been hurting for attention. The whole week previous to his birthday week he was student of the week at school so I made cup cakes for him and frosted them in black and orange (his school colors). Then came his birthday week. It just so happened that it was also spring break. This time the poor kid wasn't so lucky since his mother got strep and couldn't move until Thursday. Thursday was his birthday so we had Cake over at Grandma Ada's and played with Aunt Lizzy, uncle Richard and the kids. He got a really cool robot and an Bakugon game. Then on Saturday we had a party with his Uncle Sam and his family and Uncle John and his family at rock creek park. It was a beautiful day and a really fun time. After church on Sunday we went to John and Jessica's and played there all day and he got to talk to grandma Eldredge. What a treat since she is in Germany. It was a great week and I thought that I would post some pictures of our adventures and fun but I haven't got them off of the camera yet. I will work on that and post them soon. I love this family because it is so nice to be able to do stuff together. I love that Matthew knows and loves his cousins.

What a Weekend

This picture is Matthew at Shoshone Falls. We had gone down there with Dan's and My families and had a picnic and a great time.

This has been an interesting weekend to say the least. On Friday the car started acting really funny so we have to take in into the shop. Mom and Dad are letting us borrow grandma's car and on the way up here it had a hard time. Thankfully Dad and Brother Yost got it running and I should be able to drive it until mine gets fixed. Then we will take that one in and see what it needs. Conference was pretty good. At least the parts that we were able to see and we did enjoy it. Theresa, Randy, and the kids came down so that was a really fun time. We always enjoy getting together with them.

What was I thinking

I have never been a person who likes to journal but I like to read blogs so I thought that I would try to make one of my own. It seems to be the perfect place to keep a record of my family and let my other family members see what is going on on our lives. I just hope that I can keep up with it.
