Busy Weekend

Last weekend was busy, to say the least. But it was a good busy. First, Audrie, Cherie, and Binga came to visit Scott's again. We spent most of Friday afternoon over there. 

The baby mini was in the pen. Isaac and Anna had a blast playing with him and his mama and daddy!

Too stinkin' cute!!!

Isaac didn't want to ride very long this time because I wouldn't go out of the corral! I couldn't even "go bast" because the saddle was too small this time for both of us to sit IN the saddle. So he lost interest pretty quickly in riding in a circle slowly!

Grandpa and Grandma got here that evening, too. They brought a nice, big delivery of produce from Anders Farm Stand!! Colorado peaches, Rocky Ford cantaloupe, sweet corn, peppers, green beans. Mmmm!!!

Bright and early Saturday morning, I got even more delicious produce!! Can I just say again how much I love Bountiful Baskets?! Can you guess what I spent all Sunday afternoon and evening doing?!

A little less bright & early, the ladies went to the annual Women of Grace women's conference. There were close to 750 women this year!!! This is about 2/3 of the room. It was, as always, phenomenal.  Kris Goertzen is such a gifted speaker. The Lord always uses her to speak to the heart of things and pour Biblical truths over our souls. I strongly encourage you to make plans to attend next August! 

After the conference, the men and kidlets met us in town to see the movie Planes! The kids were ecstatic! Two bags of popcorn and 20 minutes later, Isaac was ready to go home! I think it was a combination of getting to the theatre 45 minutes before the movie started, him being tired, and not feeling great. I really thought he would love it. Oh well. Anna and Jacob absolutely had a great time!

Grandpa was a weeeee bit nervous about this lap-sitter......

Was it really???

Last weekend Mom and I got to attend a women's conference at a church in Hutch. It was amazing. Challenging and yet still fun :) The theme was "More Love to Thee" and my friend had a really good post on it (so you just read what she wrote b/c it's exactly what I would have said!). Anyway, my parents came down on Thursday night and Friday morning we headed out to the farm (my grandparents' farm) for a visit. Mom and I decided to make it a girls' weekend, so we spent the night in Hutch Friday night and left the kids with Papa, Daddy, and Great Gma & Gpa (very capable hands, I might add!). So we go, get to sleep uninterrupted (although I still woke up numerous times...figures!), have a great day of learning and fellowship and then meet up at my cousin's horse ranch for supper with my family. We get there and Susan says "So how was your first night away from Jacob?" I said "What? That was my first night away from him??" HA! I didn't even realize it. Technically I spent a couple nights at the hospital with Mom during her thing, but I don't think that really counts (I basically went up there after I got the kids bathed and in bed and then was back in the morning). So anywho I thought that was funny that I didn't even realize :) Just goes to show how different things are the 2nd time around!! I wasn't away from Anna until she was almost 2!
So here are some pics from the weekend. Looks to me like the kids had plenty of fun without me!!!

Gettin' a ride in the old wheelbarrow (Papa did a much better job fixing Anna's hair this time--last time he used twisty ties!!)

Fun with Papa

Even more fun with Great Grandpa!


They have kitties!! Anna loves little kittens.

No joke--she actually fell asleep like this! Dad said they were playing, bouncing her on his legs and then he realized she was asleep!!


Jacob and Papa doing "Baby Signs". Well, Papa doing the signs. Jacob wouldn't do them with his own hands, he would just take Papa's hands and make him do the sign! Stinker.
