By the way, we have received our Letters of Confirmation for the girls and we should have travel approval in about 4 weeks, so travel (Lord willing) in about 6 weeks. Yay!!! also... we still have our fabulous motorhome for sale... hint... hint.
The first weekend in June we went to Nebraska for my Grandparents 60th wedding anniversary party It was just a close family dinner at a banquet hall. It was very nice and so much fun just to spend some time there... Grandpa took the boys fishing first thing the next day! The boys all LOVED it, as you can see from the pics!
Anthony got to go first, since he was the youngest...
Then Alex... and finally Colin, after they got a small lesson... the boys still screamed like "sissies" when the fish came flying at them from the water!!! It was soooo funny to watch. heeheee! They were all scared of the fish touching them. silly nuts!
When we got back to the house... we found Erica taking a nap... on the floor.
The next morning... Grandpa took Jerry and the boys for a quick ride on the boat... before the lunch!
Of course, first thing when we got to the hall we had to take photos... of everyone who came... This is my mom and 3 of my siblings... one brother is missing. Heather, Mom, Billy, Christel, April from left to right.
Not sure what happened to grandpa and Anthony in this one... but everyone else looks happy. hahaha! These are 4 of their 6 great-grand-children.
On the way back to the house for Dessert we had to stop at the playground for a few minutes of goofing-off!
so cute!!!
Then a special little photo-shoot in the side yard at Grandma and Grandpa's! These four are so hilarious together... haha the two blond ones belong to my youngest sister, April... Heather's kids, who are in high school, couldn't come.
A little choking and poking...
Beautiful girl...
Then Anthony zonked... out in the grass...
Meanwhile, Jerry was scanning and inputting all kind of info into the "Family Tree" This is just one of hundreds of photos that he scanned in over the weekend! He was TIRED when he was done!!
The rest of the month was not quite as exciting, i guess as all that packed into 4 days! (other than our referral of Maria, of course!)
We spent a lot of time working on the gardens and maintaining equipment and cleaning the shop. Jerry made the boys some "blocks" with left over wood he had, and they built an amazing tower, that i was quite impressed with!
Alex learned how to look and work like a man all of a sudden!!! oh my!!! so cute and he was dying to try the power-washer a little!
Anthony got to ride in the Takeuchi, which he calls the uchi-uchi.
Of course we had pop-ice a few times...
I will put my gardening pictures in another post very soon... i can hardly wait to show off all our plants and produce! Although i will admit, i haven't taken as many pictures of it this summer with all the excitement surrounding the girls referrals and stuff... but i still have a bunch to share!
