Saturday, October 24 – Homecoming and catch up

 

Friday

Started early for me, I left the house at 6:45 to drive into town to have blood drawn for routine blood work. After returning home I had coffee with Jesse and visited with Kacie.

The grandchildren are off school today and Beth and DJ had gone to town because DJ was having some minor surgery to remove a cyst on his head.

Around 11am Ryan, Kacie, Colt, Jesse and I went back into town. I was in touch with Beth and DJ did great with his surgery and everything came back from the lab A-Okay.

Our first stop was for some lunch then on to Best Buy were I purchased a new laptop. It’s a Gateway with windows 7 and a 17.3” screen. It is very nice and I am trying to get use to it. I liked my desktop very much, but it has begun to have many problems, after all it is 6 years old. Now with the new Gateway we both have internet service using the new air card/modem and Cradlepoint router.

Our next stop was for some propane then we dropped the children off to Beth and DJ, who had some errands to do with the children.

We went home to feed the Boys and let them out, then back into town for the third time to watch Gage at his hockey practice. He is a really good skater and Adam thinks he will do super good when he gets old enough to really play. The best thing is Gage really enjoys playing. He is # 12.

After the game Gage was returning with us to spend the night. Adam and Kim were going out for a special six month anniversary evening that Adam had arranged, he is such a romantic, Not sure where it came from certainly not his father.

The three of us went out for pizza and then home. We had ice cream with Beth and family for dessert. It has been a fun filled day!

Saturday

The Weber family left the house early to drive to Woodland Park for Ryan’s football game. They won 16 to 6 Yahoo!

Adam came to get Gage around 9:30 am, as he had something to do with his Mother. We stayed home and did chores. I cleaned out file cabinets and overhead cabinets. I got rid of things that we have not used and just did some organizing.

I did three loads of laundry which meant Jesse had to dump twice and each dump he needs to make several trips. Jesse also dug out our down comforter out of the basement storage for me.

It was a busy morning and afternoon, but we are very pleased with our progress.

Beth asked us to pick up Ryan from school when he returned on the bus because they were going to do a little shopping in the Springs while in the area. We also helped him get dressed for Homecoming dance. This was is first dance with a date. He really looked sharp! After Beth and DJ left to take him I helped Kacie get ready. I curled her hair, while we waited for Mom to return. Mom helped with her makeup and this is the results. She look beautiful!!!!!

We took her to school, she was meeting some friends there. Afterwards we met Adam, Kim and Gage at a pumpkin patch not too far from the school. The 7 of us decided to make our way through the corn maze. It was a 1/2 mile maze that we never got through the whole things but the two kids had a blast walking around with flashlights in the dark corn fields.

We came out in the pumpkin patch, so the boys picked their pumpkins while DJ pulled them in the wagon.

It was another day filled with fun and chores and I was exhausted by the time we went to bed.

The weather has been just okay the last two days, but bad weather is suppose to be on it’s way.
