Quick Post

I hope everybody had a great weekend. We sure did. Friday night we were off to Dan's Parents place for their surprise 25th anniversary party that we were putting on. We were running late, but it all worked out. They were definitely surprised. Saturday afternoon we headed home. Before we went home we stopped at Dan's aunt and Uncles in Hartford to pick up a basketball hoop for Tyler. When then were off to home bound. We were definitely ready to be home. Sunday came and we slept in and cleaned house. It was much over due for cleaning. Then my friend Ashley and her little boy Hunter came to visit us. It was nice to have some visitors. We always like it when people come and see us for once. Tyler had a fun time playing with Hunter. Hunter just turned 1, so he is younger. Tyler had a hard time sharing, but got use to it. Then its Monday, it was a lazy day for Tyler and I. We slept in and then just took it easy. We went for a walk in the muggy weather :( Yuck! Well, that is all for now. I hope everybody has a great week. Its a busy one for us (that's not surprising).

End Result!!!!

Tyler and I painted again this morning... He wasn't in the best mood today because he got early..and went to bed late last night :( Here is the end result of Tyler's card... with the help of daddy and mommy. I hope everybody has a great weekend!!

Tyler's Painting Creation

Today, Tyler and I painted. Let me tell you that it was interesting. We are making an anniversary card for Grandpa and Grandma (Dan's parents) there 25th anniversary is coming up. Well, I thought it would be neat if Tyler made a card for them. He did very good painting with hands and feet. It was a mess, but he had FUN! Its not done yet. We got the painting done, so now its finishing up with the rest. I have included some pictures of his creation. I will make sure I take a picture of the end result.

Have a great day/night!!

Tuesday/Parker Fair

I am a little late on this. Tuesday night we went to Parker with Dan's aunt's family. We have never been there before. They asked us last year, but we couldn't make it. We made it this year and it was a neat fair. They have a lot to offer. Tyler sure enjoys riding rides this year. Last year he hated them, but this year we can't keep him off of them. We got home really late that night, so the next day was interesting for us. I should say for Tyler... Lately he has been getting worse. Terrible 2's. I am to the point where I just want to stay home and not go anywhere he is that bad. Its discouraging and frustrating! I took some pictures of Tyler riding some rides, until my camera died!:( Well, I hope everybody is having a great hot/humid week.


Weeeeeeeee!! Tyler says

Another Busy weekend over

Well, this was a busy weekend. Tyler had a great time at the Sioux Falls fair during the little concert. He danced away! Then we went through the little animals. We didn't stay long because I had Sammy in the car... It was a HOT one! After the fair we were off to see my grandma. We had a fun seeing visiting her. Tyler sure has fun getting into things. She has a fish, so he stood by the fish most of them time. He loves fish! Then we were off to Worthington for their county fair, since dan's sister has cattle there. I was ready to go home by Friday. It was hot and being without air, made me crabby. Tyler doesn't take heat very well either. Friday was a laid back day we looked around and just sat by the cattle. We ran into Dan's cousin and Aunt Friday night, so that was nice to see them. This brings us to the big day Saturday. Friday night we didn't get much sleep because a storm went through and it had high winds with it. I seriously thought we were going to tip over in the camper. Saturday was a HOT...HOT Day!! I got a heat headache and was not in a good mood. Tyler thankfully went with Dan's cousin and her kids for most of the day. He took a good nap and was in air conditioning. Sadie and her friend Heather showed cattle and they did well. There dan's cattle. With the two little prospect steer division Heather took overall grand champion and Sadie took reserve champion, so we are off to the Minnesota State Fair. I happy very happy for them. Dan worked his butt off to get here and now his dream has came true. The best part is that the calf's are home grown we didn't pay a lot for them like other people do. That night we walked around and Tyler rode some rides. He is sure growing up. He loved the rides unlike last year. He even rode a real horse, he loved it. Lately he has been loving horses, which dan calls him a trader, because he doesn't want anything to do with cows, its all about horses.
Sunday Tyler and I left in the morning to go to my moms. I had dentist appointment Monday. (Root canal) :( Tyler was not the best boy on sunday. He was being naughty.. He wasn't listening and doing everything that I told him not too. My mom and I went to a bridal shower for my cousin, so it was embarrassing at times with him. I think terrible 2's have set in. Then my mom and I spent some time together, which I always look forward too. Monday was my ugly dentist appt. I had a root canal done, which wasn't too bad until I started feeling some of it towards the end. My metabolism soaks up the Novocain/shot they give you fast. Never fails.... I wish my metabolism would soak up my fat fast, so then I wouldn't have a problem :) They did give me another shot, which was stronger, but that didn't stick with me that long either, but thankfully it was done. Today... My tooth doesn't feel that great, it hurts:( they told me that it would be sore for a couple days and then for 2 weeks it would hurt if I put pressure on it even if its my finger. :( I have some bad luck.... Well, today is just a relaxing day. I hope everybody has a great week.

Were Back

We made it back safe and sound. We got back late Sunday night. Our trip was fun. We enjoyed seeing my dad. Our days were filled with lots. We went to Mt. Rushmore, Hill City, Putz and glo, Story book land, Reptile Guarden, go cart racing, and dinasaur park. Tyler made a new friend named Maddy, my dad's roomates daughter. He had fun with her. Both days we were there, Tyler didn't get much of naps. We had fun though!!

Monday was filled with unpacking and getting things back to normal (what is that). Tuesday I was sick with a migraine/flu. Wednesday I felt better and was in the baking mood, surprising because I don't like to cook. I made some brownie's, Banana bread, and had supper ready Chicken fried rice. I was proud of myself!! Tonight was filled with doing laundry and packing. Tomorrow we are headed to Worthington, MN for their county fair. Dan's sister is in 4-H, so she shows cattle and has other things there. Before we go to Worthington, we are stopping by the Sioux Falls fair to meet my friend and her son. She has her own daycare and is taking them to the Phil Baker show, so Tyler and I are going to join her. Then we are going to go see my grandma on my dad's side. Then later that evening we will head to see Daddy and cows (as Tyler would say). Tyler and I will head to my mom's on early sunday afternoon because I have to go to the dentist on Monday :(... I don't like dentists. Just another busy weekend. Here are some pictures from our trip. I hope everybody has a great weekend!!!

It will be interesting with Tyler on how well he does in the car for that long. We do have to stop in Huron to drop off Sammy (our dog), so he can run for awhile. We will be seeing lots of bikes. Its first weekend of sturgis rally. We have lots of things planned to go see. I hope everybody has a great weekend!!! I will post when I get back and share some pictures.
