Sunday Evening Ramblings

I have just read my sister's post from yesterday and can't wait to hear all the details. Check Sarah's blog out at http://livingtoworship.blogspot.com/. I am sitting here still kinda ouchy from yesterday. Ok let me give you the scoop of our weekend. Last weekend my DH won an ebay auction on a trailer, in W. Virginia. So, on Friday he and our boys went to get it. Although this was after we were at a local auction. Where of course we bought a truckload, literally! :) Later that evening my DD, Bekah, and I went and had a nice girls night out. And the boys went with their Daddy to get the trailer.


On Saturday Bekah and I finished putting out all our mulch and I got the yard cut, all two acres of it. So, now comes the ouchy, I wore a tank top and have burnt my arms, mostly my shoulders. But I now have a weed free front flower beds!! YEA!!! I am sooooo happy with that! Can you tell? I'll have to get pictures to post. I still have some things to add, but it's so much better. Then when the boys got back we went to eat and hit a buck of balls at the driving range. Always a fun thing with sun burnt shoulders. But we all had a good time.


So now it is time for me to go to bed. Thanks for putting up with my ramblings.

Our 12 day trip or why I haven't posted in sooooo long

Oh WOW it's been so long since I have taken time to post anything!!


We have, I think :D, gotten back on track since getting back from our ski trip. We went to Reno, NV for 12 days, although 5 of those we spent in Tahoe. Where the kids and my DH skied. This picture is of my DS Alex who is 9 and snowboards like a champ. Cute isn't he? They all had a blast! I am really impressed with how much better they are this time. My oldest DS, Ryan who is 10, was probably the most improved. He did so well this time. And, if my DD, Bekah who is 8, had anything to say about it we would do this every day! Oh and no adult could keep up with her! She loves speed!!




This is the view out our bedroom,
while we were on the mountain. Gorgeous isn't it? There wasn't much snow, except on the slopes. Made it nice to shop though.
We also took the kids ice skating. First time for them. They made me ache, they fell so much and BOUNCED! :D But they had a blast! Well I hope you enjoyed reading an abbreviated version of our trip. We certainly enjoyed taking it!
