I know it seems like we do nothing else but spend our weekends together… but, well… it’s mostly true lol! This weekend I traveled with my MOM up to the Thraps! My mom is a horse-shoer and she had a conference near where Josh and Becca live, so I hitched a ride there and after her conference was over on Saturday she came back to the Thraps and spent the night with us. Becca and I got a LOT of scrapbooking done and I am ever so close to being completely caught up with my pictures. What an amazing feeling!
In more big news (not really, only to me and Becca), my mom and I went to visit Angie (a friend of my mom) who is big into scrapbooking, and she hefted item after wonderful item into my hands. She gave me her large sticker maker (says she doesn’t use it?!) AND her silent setter (I have wanted one of those for SOOOOOOOOOOO long), plus she gave me TONS of stickers and 2 TONS of paper and gorgeous specialty paper! Honestly, I was spoiled… and officially I can no longer fit all my stuff in two bags lol (Oh dear, I’m becoming like unto Becca!).
While Audrey and I traveled with my mom, Chris and Michael had their own fun. Friday night, Michael stayed with my dad and had his first official riding lesson. He did AWESOME and I think he might just be a natural horseman (I know my parents are hoping so lol). Audrey also got to ride for a bit, but deciding that swinging was more fun since I had just taught her how to jump off the swing while it was swinging… I’m not sure why I did that now, but at the time it seemed like a reasonable parent thing to do! Anyway, Saturday around noon, Chris picked up Michael from my parents house and traveled to Muscatine to see his friend Lori on her birthday. Michael and Chris took Lori to Pizza Ranch as per her request, for a birthday lunch. Michael was so excited to be going to a birthday party where he and his dad were the only ones invited. After that, they drove home through the fog and settled in after deciding not to take in a vollyball game at the college. In the morning, Chris and Michael went to church and Chris said that Michael was perfect. Later he even took Michael along with him to go Home Teaching, and Michael was again very well behaved. Such a good boy!
Audrey and I were dropped off by my mom at about 7:30p.m. and Audrey went right off to bed. Chris and Michael came home soon after and Michael was sent off to bed as well. All in all… it was a FUN but too fast weekend!
I agree it was too fast! I’m so glad you could come over! Now we have to figure out when we get to get together again, because Thanksgiving is really too far off! And I’m very pleased to hear that Michael was so well behaved and that he and Chris had a nice weekend as well.
We also need to figure out Thanksgiving!
Why did you teach her to jump off?
Again, seemed like a good idea at the time!
