A Weekend at Home

For the past 3 weekends we have been gone doing something and it was nice to just have a weekend at home even though it was filled with tons of things going on. Saturday morning I had Rebecca Steffes shower to attend in Ivanhoe, she had a great turnout. It was from 9-11am so that took up most of the day since it was in Ivanhoe.

In the picture from left to right: Anne Gillund, Rebecca Steffes, Steph Engesmoe and ME. All 3 of these girls I graduated with in High School.

So the rest of Saturday was filled by the time I got Trevor home to give him a nap. In the meantime Jon was in Sioux Falls helping his uncle Steve move and so they got back to our house around 5:30pm and Trevor was in need of going to his grandma and grandpa's house for the night so that is just what they did. Jon and I took advantage and got to go to out to Dinner and a movie (we went to StepBrother, great movie very funny).

Sunday we drove to Ivanhoe and picked up Trevor and then headed to The Pearson Family Reunion at the Wind Towers. They had a great turn-out! I just love it up there it is in the middle of a corn field so we had the whole inside and outside to ourselves. After we ate they drew for prices and "my name" was the first one drawn so I recieved a Pearson Family cook book. Then it was home again for a nap!!

Had to take a picture of the view

Then Sunday afternoon was spent taking a nap and then Jon and I cooked up a bunch of walleye that we had in the freezer for supper and it was soooooooo good!!!

A Small Flood

Since we have moved into our new house I just have not been happy with the upstairs family room at how the furniture lays out, not sure why it just always kept bugging me. So Tuesday night before I left for Sioux City Jon and I moved furniture all around from bringing furniture from the basement upstairs to taking what was upstairs to the basement. All that is besides the point and I will post a picture of our new and entertaining living room and we both LOVE! Back to my point about this post, while Jon and I were figuring things out and deciding what we wanted to do Trevor was playing outside in his sandbox but then came up by the house and was playing trucks on the patio. Him and Mydland where just sitting there watching us so we did not play that close of attention.

We had been moving stuff and thought we better check on the boys and man am I glad that we did. Trevor found the hose, turned it on and was washing off his trucks and in no time had filled up the basement window well with water.....full to the top. So what happens when you fill a window well up with water??? The water starts to come through the basement window......yep that is just what it did. We had water all over! Trevor had no clue that he was doing wrong and he said "mom the big hole needed water in it"!

A Funny

Not much to say today....except I do want to share this video that I recieved in a forward. I normally do not look at this stuff since most of it is so fake BUT this one is really funny. This guy is a motivational speaker and to end his speech he does what is called the Evolution Dance. The first time I saw it I thought of when we go to wedding dances because we all know that we do it.

I will also be on a short blogging break since I will be in Sioux City IA for work on Wednesday and I will be back on Thursday night, enjoy the video!!

Crazy Weekend

Well as you all know this past weekend we went to Minneapolis to go to a Twins Game and we had a GREAT time. We left Friday morning in 3 vehicles (all 14 of us) and as soon as we got to the motel we checked-in and headed for the tram to take us to the Metrodome.

We got there fairly early so we took pictures and then decided to go closer towards the field since the players were warming up. Jon and Trevor were looking over the railing when Jon out of no where says to one of the players "hey how about a ball for the kid" so the pitcher for the Twins Dennys Reyes #37 threw Trevor a ball.....Jon yells back "HEY, thanks man" he just smiled and waved and in the meantime Trevor is beaming!!! How awesome is that?? So after we took pictures I made him give it to me so we would not lose it and man was he mad at me. So Jon being the softy that he is went and bought him a Minnesota Twins truck.

Saturday was spent swimming and shopping at the Mall of America (all day to be exact). And Sunday we went swimming again and then headed back to the mall to let Trevor go on some rides. We had a great weekend and I took lots of pictures to prove it. I hope everyone enjoys them!!
