Cabinets and more

I know it has been a long time since I have posted, but things were a little busy last week with Bree's birthday and going to Winfield for the weekend. We had a great time celebrating Bree's birthday. We started the day off with all three of us going into her room and singing the birthday song to her and she cried! I think it was because no one was picking her up, but it could have been the singing. :) Mike had the day off due to a golf outing for Wolfe Eye Clinic, which got cancelled. We had an appointment at the Electric Wholesale to pick out all of our light fixtures. Wow, there are a ton. Then we went to Perkins for breakfast and Bree's first taste of pancakes, which she loved! She ate a whole pancake. Then we went to Huxley to play at the park and Mike went golfing with his dad and two other doctors at TCI in Polk City, which he said is a very hard course! We did have cake and ice cream at supper time, and Bree likes to eat cake, but isn't really crazy about getting it all over her hands.



We had a great weekend with the fam. My sister that lives in Wisconsin was home also, so it was good to see them. I can't remember when the last time we saw them was. I know it was before they went to Florida, in March, so it has been a long time. The plan was to celebrate birthdays. Alex, my nephew turned 17 in May and Bree turned 1 last week.



We got there about 9 on Friday and had a great meal. At about 4am, Bree decided she didn't want to sleep anymore and since we are in the same room, I didn't get to either. Finally, at about 6, I decided to try to give her a bottle. Wrong! I forgot the formula at home, so we jumped in the car and ran to Mt. Pleasant, which is about 15 min away and the closest place to get formula. Of course, as we got out of town, she fell asleep. The rest of the day was filled with garage sales and the school carnival. Brady got spoiled by both of my sisters and Nana that day. He was filled to the top with sugar and carnival toys.

That night, we celebrated birthdays. Bree got spoiled, yet again and the rest of us were spoiled with great food from my sister, Dawn. She is a great cook, so it was delicious beef tenderloin and shrimp on the grill.

Sunday was filled with yet another great meal and getting ready to go home. We decided to skip homemade ice cream so we could get back to assess any damage Ames was having due to flooding. Luckily for us, there was none in our neck of the woods, so we dodged a bullet that time.

Last week was a quite, yet busy week. We have been getting more cabinets and trim in the house. It is starting to look like you could live there, minus some flooring. Each time we go, we don't want to leave because we just want to live there. God is definately teaching us patience in this adventure! I will try to post pictures later. My camera and computer are not cooperating right now, so will try again later.
