Good weekend

It was a good weekend. I took Sat off work and we were outside most of the day. Perfect weather. The girls jumped right in and really helped get the yard picked up. We did a lot of work in the flower beds. Rich got the weeds sprayed and we moved strawberry plants got the tomatoes planted the beans and carrots also. Tymber got to drive the lawn mower for the first time. We let her pull the cart around that we dump all the weeds & stuff into. She did really good but it will be a while before I feel good enough to let her cut the grass with the blades down and going. Plus she got in trouble for not asking permission and using it without a adult outside so she is grounded from it.
Sunday the girls went to church while I worked. Then we made lasagna for dinner and were pretty lazy. The girls played outside most of the afternoon. Hope played with Landon our neighbor. They are the same age so have a blast. In the middle of the night Autumn came up to get some water and ended up getting sick. We figured she had to much sun and was dehydrated. I was in the bathroom with her and she stood up to go into the living room ran smack into the door and passed out cold. Pretty much scared the crap out of me. I yelled at Rich and he came running into the bathroom. By then she had come to. It was really hot in the bathroom and I felt dizzy also, I am sure because she scared me so bad, so he brought a fan in and left us on the floor for a few minutes. We were talking about it and her reply was 'well did I at least fall gracefully" I told her she had a graceful fall. Silly girl is so vain and has so much MURRAY in her. We tell her all the time about grandpa Grant and his mirror mirror on the wall who's the handsomest of all.... why me. Plus Rich could never walk by a mirror when he was younger without checking himself out. She is still pretty sick today. Dizzy and upset tummy. She laid on my bed all day while I worked I am thinking it may be a bug and not dehydration. I am going to be ticked off if we get sick again. Of course I called the nurse just to make sure she didn't need to be seen and she assured me she just got dizzy and passed out. She was only out maybe 5-10 seconds but when you are watching your child lay there it is a life time.
Yep when I checked this morning a few more grey hairs....

Garden time

We are all finally better. Yeah. Now if the weather would be nice (yeah right). We had a party for my parents the day before Mothers Day for their 50th anniversary. I know it was in Feb. but we wanted to wait to have it when everyone was home. We were supposed to do family pictures but that just didn't work. Kade was off to prom & Heather had to leave for work. We were pretty sneaky. Caralyn told them we were having a welcome home party for Brandi and Darren. We invited Deb and Terry and Rock & Linda and Dan & Angela and we had dinner at Caralyns. We brought salads and ordered a sheet cake with their picture on it. All of the kids and grand kids were there. It was a really nice day so we set up tables outside and the kids were able to play and have a great time. Caralyn has a little park right next to her house with a play set so they all went over there and we easily could see them. Aunt Perk and Pat were there and Lynn and Alan also. Mom and dad were the first to arrive then Deb showed up. They were shocked. It was great. They also got a lap top. My dad really wanted one to take to Arizona so now we get to teach them how to use it. They know very little about computers.
Rich got the garden tilled up so my dad is coming today to make rows for us and bringing tomato plants. Rich and I have been trying to decide what to do with our yard. We have too many flower beds and way to many weeds. I think we are going to kill the big berm out front and get rid of all the weeds and grass in it. We are slowly going to get river rock to put in it and the other berm by the ditch and not worry about flowers and plants in it. The berm by the front of the house we will keep flowers in. This year I think my tomatoes are going there to help protect from the wind. Then we will just have the berms out back for flowers. Hopefully it will be much easier to keep up on. We will see I guess.
