Let the prep begin!

We had a wonderful fathers day.  It got off to a bit of a crazy start, but turned out splendid.  None of us wanted to wake up to a rainy nasty morning,  but within a few hours the day turned around.  The sun came out and we got things done!

Cattle got checked then we had lunch with Keith and Bev.  Keith grilled some steaks on his new grill, they were melt in your mouth good!  Bill and I brought the boys home and they played in the yard all afternoon while Bill and I organized and cleaned out the machine shed to get all set up and ready for the party Saturday.  We are all cleaned out and cleaned up.  Finally!

Keith, Bev, Joe and Anna came over for fish on the grill.  It was super yummy.  We had a nice meal and then some DQ ice cream cake for dessert.  It's tradition around here on fathers day to get a DQ cake!  Joe stayed the night and watched Hall Pass with us.  It was soooo FUNNY!  We all laughed our butts off. 


 Kegs are ordered, food is ready to be prepared, and boy am I ready to have some fun!  I can't wait to see everyone and have a great time! It feels nice to have come this far on our home and to finally get the chance to let everyone come out and see it all and celebrate with us. 

Today I caught up on laundry, and cleaning and bathed the boys and threw some pork steaks in the crock pot with  some stew veggies and a herb tomato gravy, that I concocted with my herbs from my herb garden.  It is smelling so fragrant in here right now I love it.  Can't wait to see how it turns out.  I paid the bills and now need to take and head to Carthage to run some errands and get a few things from the store.  Maybe that can wait till tomorrow though, because I really don't feel like going to town tonight.  Ugh.  I really just don't feel like getting dressed or cleaned up, I am still in my jammies, been scrubbing and cleaning all day and all I want to do is shower and veg out with the boys!

Wednesday I take Brody to western to get his hearing test.  I hope it all turns out okay.  I'm thinking he's just a stubborn mule and won't speak because he can get away with screeching and screaming at us all the time.  Ugh sooooo frustrating for sure!

Well I am off to my next project... taking all the soda  out of the van and putting it up till Saturday.  Theres LOTS in there!
