Our Long Weekend!

The girls and I headed off Thursday for a long weekend at the farm...no boys! Bret was heading over to the Grandpa Ed's and Mark was on his own.

I had offered to help my girlfriend Lina with the flowers for her nieces wedding on Friday.

It is always good to keep up those corsage skills...you never know when you will need them!

Let me tell you the car ride with my youngest really started to worry me when we had stopped four times before we had hit the apple river! I was not sure if we would ever get there or not. She did finally calm down and found some ways to entertain herself.

The kids really love the farm and all the animals. Madi loves the Baby Cows and they both love to go across the road and pet Greg and Terri's Baby kitties. The also love Fuzz the dog that Dan and Heather bring over. I wish we were closer so they could spend more time there. Oh well, I guess we take what we can get! There is always some sort of action there too. Madi really likes to watch the tractors and Kacy just likes to help Grandma where ever she can.

The girls and I went in to visit Great Grandma Soley, we have not been there since August and I am not sure the last time we had their picture taken with her., This is pretty good! At least they are all almost looking at me. Madi is always a challenge if she does not want too do it!

I think this is sweet picture of Kacy and GG.


Saturday night after Madi drove the golf cart into the cornfield...yes the cornfield, we headed up to the wedding reception.

The golf cart story.... Madi, Grandma, and Kacy were out watering trees Friday with the cart, Madi got back up on the cart, hit the gas and shot out into the corn field uncle Dan had just chopped. Some how she stayed on the cart and it did not tip! I heard Grandma yelling her name and running so I knew there was trouble! Madi was about 50 feet away or so. I think Grandma lost a few years off of her life and now needs to color her hair. Madi did not seem too worked up, in fact she wanted to ride the cart out of the corn field with Grandma! Kacy thought the whole thing was funny....We are just very lucky we can laugh about it now!

Kacy and Madi were quite excited to head up to the wedding reception. Kacy loves to wear a fancy dress! Once we got there my kids were scooped away from me by the Glavin Girls and Faith, they played and entertained them most of the night. Madi did fall asleep before 9pm in my arms with the music blaring...if we were at home that would not have happened. I really did not see Kacy the whole night, she had a great time with the other kids. It was fun to see people I had not seen in quite awhile, aren't wedding receptions such a great way to reconnect with people!

Kacy did some decorating at the farm.....notice the "one" pumpkin by each tree in the yard!

She did this all over! And she could only put one by each tree...no more!

Sunday we headed down to Easton with Papa and Nana to go fishing in the pond and ride the horses at CJD farms. Kacy was very excited to get the Dora pole out again.

I have to say the fish were not biting too well, but we did manage to hook a few hungry ones!

Look, I got one!

Madi had a great time checking the fish out.

Here is Kacy's big one!

After fishing we went over to ride the horses at the farm.

This was Madi's first time on a real horse. She loved it......

You know she wants to do anything and everything her sister does!

Kacy thought she was the ridding queen! She loves to ride horses....well the small ones at least!

Do they look like real horse girls?

Wow what an eventful weekend. After lunch and the Packer game the girls and I headed for SCF. Madi slept all the way home and Kacy did well too! Luckily it was not a repeat of the ride down. ( And no one needed a potty break so we were able to keep on going?!)
