What a week/weekend!

This last week we were busy with getting things ready for the weekend. Dan had a cattle show in Huron. We left Thursday and came back late last night. Tyler sure enjoys seeing the animals. He is an animal lover. Dan's sister showed a steer, but got fourth, which isn't bad, but not that good. Tyler and I spent time with my mom. I sure enjoy spending time with her. Tyler has a good time with grandma (Barb). Dan thought for room wise we would borrow his dad's pickup. It was more room and since we had four people we had to do something. Dan's pickup only fits 3. On our way home 5 minutes from Huron we lost power in the pickup. To top it off we had a trailer full of cattle and pigs. Out of all times we break down then. Thankfully his friend Greg was still in Huron, so we got a hold of them and they came and got the trailer and we had to take their pop-up camper back. Whenever we get home. Dan crawled to the side of the road. At this time its really hot and Tyler is hot and getting crabby. He doesn't take heat very well. Dan opened up the hood and was looking around and didn't see anything wrong. He called his dad and asked him. All gauges were normal, and we had gas :). Dan did pull out the fuel filter and it was black as can be. That isn't normal. So I called my mom and her boyfriend Ryan and the helped us out a lot. They called around town and stopped at places to see if they can get a fuel filter. No LUCK!!! Dan isn't have a good day. He started the day off by the trailer having a bad tire, he changed that. When loading a cow ripped his shirt and now this problem. Finally my mom and Ryan came to us and took Tyler and I and we were on our way to check the last place to see if they have a filter. Well, we got there and the guy that runs the shop was not there, so the lady that was at the counter said we could go to their house and see. Ryan went to their house and he was taking a nap :( He was so kind that he came over to his shop and he had one. He told Ryan that it may not be just the filter. Dan did say it wasn't running right on our way to Huron when pulling the trailer. We headed back to Dan and his sister. They pushed the truck off to a side road that was by us. They pushed a long time. The pickup worked fine after we put a new filter in. There were some things that didn't seem right, but we made it to Brandon where we were meeting his family to switch vehicles. Well, that was our adventure this weekend. This week we are busy washing clothes for our mini vacation. We are leaving Thursday to go see my dad in Rapid City. We are coming back Sunday. We haven't seen him since May. It will be nice to see him. Well, that is all for now. Have a great week.

Sorry :(

I know I said I would post Wed., but I didn't. Well, it has been interesting with Tyler and I home together all day. He is testing me and entering his TERRIBLE 2's. I give all the mom's out there credit for being able to stay home with their children because its hard work. I don't think I am cut out to be a stay at home mom. We are still putting things away and trying to find a place for everything is a challenge. Having a place that we can call ours is nice. I am enjoying living in town. For the past 3 weeks Wal-mart is our 2nd home. Dan likes our place, but doesn't like living in town. Well, this weekend we are busy with a wedding that is in Clark/Watertown. Tyler is going to my mom's (Grandma Barb). Other than that I will be cleaning and putting more things away. I hope everybody has a great weekend.

Back on !! Without things!

For over a week we have been without cable and internet. You don't realize how much you take things for granted until you are without. We just got our internet and cable today. Its nice to finally have these things. We are finally moved in to our new place. We finished moving this last weekend. We just had the little things left. Well, I just wanted to let everybody know that we are still here. We just haven't had internet. Well, I will post again tomorrow for sure.

Happy 4th of July

I know its late! I hope everybody had a wonderful 4th of July. We spent the day working hard at our new place. We painted and put wood flooring in. We got quite a bit done. We will finish up on Sat. We had lots of help and it was greatly appreciated. My mom and Ryan helped a lot and I hope we didn't work them too hard and they come and help us on Sat. :) It was a late night and we saw some fireworks on our way home from Brookings.

As I said before I would have pictures of my knee. On Tuesday night I finally got to take a shower and some bandages. Then had to re-bandage it up again. I also have a picture of Tyler in an empty cupboard that he was sitting in. Our house looks like a disaster. Boxes everywhere! I hate it when it looks cluttered.

Happy Late Anniversary

Its been busy these past couple of days. July 3 was our 3rd Anniversary. We spent the day as usual. Dan went to work and I was laid up. That night we went to Sioux Falls to get our flooring and paint for our new place. We then went out to dinner with Dan's aunt, cousins and sister. Dan's sister stayed with us until wed. to help me with Tyler. I appreciated it a lot.

I made it!!

I made it through my knee surgery. After surgery the doctor came out to talk to Dan, but Dan said he didn't learn anything. It was short and sweet. From what he got out of the talk they took out my lateral release and took a bunch of scar tissue out. I am still on crutches, which sucks. I am hanging in there. I just wish it would hurry up and heal. The weekend was filled with packing. We took a small load over to our new place, but we have a lot ahead of us. I will post some pictures later of what my knee looks like. I will also have one of Tyler. Tyler came back home yesterday (Sunday). Dan's sister is here until wed. to help me and take care of Tyler. If I didn't have her I don't know what I would do. I hope everybody had a wonderful weekend.
