Getting stuck

To start the week off was Memorial Day.  And guess what it was doing on Memorial Day.  You're right, it was raining once again.  Ugh!  We finally decided that we should do something for Memorial day and headed out to the cemetaries that all of our family members are buried in.  Our plan was to go to Powell, Byron, Lovell, and Cowley.  We have some in Otto too, but just didn't think it was worth it to drive there in the rain.  We made it to Powell and Byron, then on our way to Cowley Kai wanted to go on a side road to look at something.  My response was, "As long as we don't get stuck."  "We won't," says Kai.  Well...we got stuck.  Yes, it was pretty bad.  The mud there was so slimy and slippery.  Our Jeep's four wheel drive is gone so we couldn't even use that.  Then the next day it was pretty dry and windy so we were able to get it out.  Come to find out, the whole ordeal put a hole in the power steering hose (if that is what it is called).  So, I had to drive the Jeep home with no power steering.  Yeah, by the time we get that fixed, I am going to be one buff women.  

 We found this bird just recently that had made a nest and had 4 little blue eggs on our garage.  The little eggs hatched yesterday I think and I really tried to get a picture of the mommy feeding the babies, but I wasn't quick enough.  I am always afraid to walk by it when I take the garbage out because I am afraid it is going to go wacko and attack my head or something.  She's pretty nice though, Kai has put his hand pretty close up to her and she hasn't done a whole lot.  The kids love to look at it and try to scare it.  That's probably why I get freaked out about it attacking my head all the time.

This is a project I have been working on for a while now and even though it has quite a few flaws, I absolutely love it and had so much fun working on it.  It is my new church bag.  I learned some new stitches doing it and it was...fun.  I had a hard time with lining it, but it still worked out.

 This was something else I had made to bring some spring into our home.  Crocheted flowers.  I had made some roses for my mom for Mother's Day and I think I like those better than these daffodils, but I think these are pretty too.

 This picture just cracks me up.  I looked into the kitchen one morning when Kaydee was being really quiet and I found her just chillin on hers and Matthew's blanket.  They have the same type of blanket that their grandma made them and both of them tease each other about stealing each other's blankets.  It's funny.  Mason has one too, but he isn't as big of a blanket person as much as Matthew and Kaydee are.  They are so funny though.

Well, that has been our week and now the sun is shining and hopefully will stay that way for a while!
