Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day. We got up and went to church and then came home and worked in the yard. We planted the garden and I weed eated. Gary made onion rings and steaks for supper. Very yummy!!

The day before I went with Pam Briggs to Cheyenne. She had to go to Sams Club, Walmart and a few other errands. We had such a good day together.

Well, I am done babysitting. Friday was hard - the change of not having Ryleigh anymore. Malaya cried after she left :(  I think it's going to be hard for the girls at first.

Malaya also learned to ride her bike without training wheels. Gary took them off and on the 1st try she had it. Took her a little longer to master the turns, but she got it that night!!

I had my garage sale on Saturday then. I got up at 4:30 and Gary had to leave at 7 to go to work. We finally had to stop putting things out. It did not rain, but sure looked like it could, so I knew it would be up to me to pull everything in if it started, so I said no more. We actually did okay - much better than I thought. I was hearing thunder around 11 and the wind had picked up more so I finally decided to start picking everything up. I had it all in by noon and at 12:10 it started pouring & hailing!!  I lucked out. We are going to try again this Saturday and the weather is supposed to be nicer.

Grandma & Grandpa Mortensen Visit

They arrived on Thursday afternoon. We hung out around the house on Friday. On Saturday we went to North Platte. There was a Honkey Tonk BBQ Cookoff going on. We walked around and the girls rode carnival rides. That evening we went to Ryleigh's birthday party. On Sunday, we went to church and then the girls took a nap and mom helped me price items for our garage sale. Mom and Dad got Gary & I the ice cream attachment to our kitchen aid for our anniversary so we made homemade ice cream. It was very good. Monday night was Malaya's preschool spring concert. The concert was great and Malaya did a great job. They headed home Tuesday morning.

I only have 2 more weeks of babysitting and then I am done. Malaya is also done with preschool on Thursday. The time is just flying by!!
