Oh My Goodness...

Hello World,
I haven't posted in like FOREVER! Geesh! I apologize to all my readers... just been super crazy! I will fill you in all the latest events.

Backing up to last week... Lets see on Sunday evening we had a grill out at our house with some friends and sat around the fire.
It was a laid back evening and it was great seeing you all again! Mel, you are a riot... when you are feeling good :) Monday, we took the kids to the movie, Shrek 111, it was ok, nothing great but Blade did like it. The boys were back to school on Tuesday... they were dragging in the am, just didn't want to get up and get going, it is SO time for school to be done! This week was Blade's last week of school, and they will have a school picnic on upcoming Tuesday, then he is done. The older boys last day is on Wednesday. YEAH!

Last week was a productive week for Lis Lis :) I helped our finishing lady, Janet sand all the trim work in the foyer, mudroom, and area by staircase. We got it all done and now its ready to be stained and varnished. I'm not sure that will get done this week since Janet has a painting job lined up for this week so I will wait for her to come back and we will do it then... I just don't feel comfortable doing it alone yet. Although, my housekeeping didn't get stayed on top of this week so I am really really far behind on the laundry and well the dusting issue again! Hope to get it all done tonight!... yep I am staying up late tonight and getting most of it done since its driving me nuts!

We had a busy busy weekend this weekend. WOW! Friday I dont remember what I did during the day besides help Janet.
Friday evening we had Blade's preschool program/graduation. It was SO adorable! We were cracking up laughing at Blade because he was just being so cute up on stage, as well as the other little kids. I can't believe how well they did for it lasting two hours. I thank all of our family and friends who could make it, it meant a lot to us. After Blade's program we took the boys home and got the settled for the evening and Jer and I were off to Houli's and a movie, the part of the weekend I look forward to the most! We were rushed though since the movie was starting at 9:50... and we left at 9ish and were going to eat yet, but we did it! We saw the movie "KNOCKED UP", absolutely hilarious!!!! I loved it!!!!! I recommend it to you all to pay the $ and go see it in the theater, you will laugh the entire movie :) Thank you Jer for taking me to the movie... I didn't think it was out yet...

Ok now to Saturday... well it was a day full of 'bridal showers' for Lis Lis... ICK! Seriously the whole day! 1st shower was for Tina, Jer's brother's fiance' beginning at 10am. I went with Julie (my other future sister inlaw ) and my nieces to both showers so spending time with them was really nice. I just felt really uncomfortable at this shower and totally felt out of the loop... which is sad when this is family. Oh well! The shower was over close to 12:30 so Julie and I packed up the girls and headed to the next shower, which was Jer's cousin's finance', again the typical shower, good food, and games but it seemed like it lasted forever... so this shower was over close to 4:00. Yep a whole day at showers! Jer was gone for the day too he went with his dad and brothers to get fitted for tuxes and then they went golfing, he got back about 5ish. Blade spent the day at Grandma Steffen's house, Mitchel went tractor pulling, and Issac was off bike riding with Quinton.

Saturday evening, we had told Tammy a while ago that we would go to the Canton Rodeo with her and her boyfriend. So we left for that about 6:00. WOW was that a different night but it was good fun! It was raining but then it would stop, then rain again but we did get to watch some of the rodeo. Jer was drinking BEER ... yeh BEER! He started drinking the beer while he was golfing and then drank more beer later in the evening, crazy but funny :) since he doesn't like beer it was weird seeing him drink it, ya know? OK so I was feeling it rather quickly since I didn't eat a whole lot throughout the day... yep about 4 beers got me:( buzzed... and then well I was drunk :( oh man oh man!!! So drunk I agreed to get on a bull riding thing with Tammy, the biggest waste of $10.00 ever! I knew I couldn't do it and well I was right, I was off in less than a minute, pathetic I know!! oh well a memory for memory lane later on in life :)

Now today... well I had shower to attend, this was a baby shower for Jeremie's cousin, then we had Mitchel's soccer game at 3pm. Then we were off to a graduation party for Jer's cousin, and during the party I took off and drove Jer to the airport and went back to the party for awhile so the kids could play and I could visit for a bit. A full day of running and not getting anything done at home again :( so when the boys and I got home tonight we started clearing out our 'make shift' kitchen... and preparing for the REAL one to come in tomorrow :) YEAH!!!!! Doug (our cabinet maker) called today and said he would be here tomorrow to start installing it... not sure how the process works or when it will be completely done but its FINALLY happening starting tomorrow :) YEAH!!!

Lots going to happen this week at house, kitchen being installed is HUGE! We've been without a kitchen for almost 9 months! and we are very much looking forward to this! I am pretty sure Dustin is going to trim out the dining room this week since he was waiting for the kitchen to come in. Our upcoming weekend looks busy too... housewarming party and graduation party to attend. Our weekends for the summer are pretty much booked with something going on each weekend... CRAZY but thats life!

Anyhow I am going to close for now and get my butt moving! I want to accomplish a lot tonight and its already 11:30.

Hope you are all well!
