Memorial Day Weekend

Well, since it was a long weekend for me I was REALLY wanting to do something fun. But, as the life of a farmers wife goes, Dale was working all weekend. Bryce and I ended up finding alternative activities to keep us busy and it ended up being the best weekend ever!

Friday we spent our evening with Lynn and the boys. We ate pizza, read books, watched Handy Manny and then all 3 boys were getting tired so we left. It's always fun to hang out with the Holthus'....Chase and Parker know how the keep us on our toes!!!!

Saturday morning Bryce and I got up early and headed to Pilot Grove to meet Mama Teresa and Uncle David. We went shopping in Sedalia and it was a VERY successful trip. David and I decided we need to eat at Patricia's...yummy!!

When we got home, we let Bryce play for a while to wear him out. Mama found her tractor, I think it was David's first.

Bryce thought he was big stuff getting to ride the tractor!

Pretty cool getting to ride all by himself!

What's that say...it doesn't say John Deere!

Getting so big...even sitting up by himself!

Uncle David had to show Bryce all of the cattle he wants to buy out of the newest sale catalog that came in the mail!After everyone wore Bryce out, we headed home. I was lucky enough to get a 2 hour nap out of Bryce and I was able to get the pool cleaned. We ended up going back to Pilot Grove after Bryce woke up to have supper with the family. After supper the girls and Bryce went for a walk around town.

All ready to go...just waiting on the girls!!Sunday morning we were up early enough to make it to 7:30am mass. Bryce slept A LOT on Sunday, I guess we really wore him out Saturday. If you would have added up all of his naps, he slept for almost 6 hours and still slept all night! I was able to get the house clean while he was sleeping, which was nice!

We called Grandma Linda and Papa Eddie to come over for some supper Sunday evening. Dale made it home in time to do a little fishing before he had to cook. We have been feeding the fish for a while now, and they sure are growing!

Bryce seemed to enjoy his first fishing experience!

Grandma and Papa were able to actually play with Bryce for a while...but he was getting pretty tired!

Papa's arm looked like a good pillow!

Since it rained Sunday night, Dale was home Monday with us. We did a little grocery shopping Monday morning....yuck!!! Then we went to see Grandma Linda and Papa Eddie again while Dale was working at the hog farm. Before we could go home, we had to check out Bacon, the pig Dale has made into a pet that he wants to bring home for Bryce. Oh Boy!

Bacon

Then Monday evening we went to Danny & Melanie's for a BBQ...yummy!!


Even though I didn't get to do exactly what I wanted to do over the weekend, I had the best time...getting to spend the weekend with Bryce and family.
