It's Raining It's pouring

May is here and so far it is a wet one! We went to the grocery store tonight and Daryl got to be out in the sprinkles, he just laughed!

D has just been crawling around like crazy and has been pulling himself up. He really likes to stand on his changing table. Kelly and I laugh that we have a daredevil on our hands. He has also been saying mama! It just warms my heart.

Work has also been really busy this week. I have an event for the kids account tomorrow and I'm really anxious to see how many show up. I hope ALOT!

I have a lot of things to check off of my list this weekend. I need to get a special present cast on my needles and cut out a dress and clean clean clean!!!

Better start now!

Mothers' Day

So it finally happened. Kelly and I went away for a whole weekend without D! It was hard I'm not going to lie but he did great :-)
He stayed with grandma and grandpa Meerpohl and had so much fun I don't think he even noticed we were gone. Little stinker!
Kelly and I headed west to help momma Korf redo her bathroom. Kelly worked really hard for two days and almost had it all finished up before I MADE him leave.
HAHA I needed to see my baby.
The only other thing I accomplished today was I finally finished the knitted bag I have been working on for the past month. I was knitting it for a swap (think pen pal you've never met) and I have to get it in the mail tomorrow.
I hope its new owner loves it!
Was so glad to see so many loved ones this weekend sisters, brothers, parents, an aunt and a grandma! Wish every weekend could be so full of family and fun.

The Face of Mischief

This week flew by! Sorry about the lack of updates!! For all of those who know about the Rugby game tomorrow the time has been adjusted to 2pm. So please come out and support the Women's Rugby!

This week we had two practices (in between the rain) and I think we are as ready as we will ever be! Also this week Kelly has been driving to a conference out of town all week for work so I'm glad that's done!

Kelly enjoyed his first week on the job and I think we are really lucky that he found it.

On Wednesday we went and hit golf balls. I am trying to be ready for my first big game against the Meerpohls from the North. I don't want to embarrass Kelly!

Daryl has just been content playing on the floor, rolling around in his chair, and getting into things! The picture I took today was while he was getting in my purse and pulling things out. I said "Daryl what are you doing?" And this is the look I got! Priceless!

Not Just Another Sunday!

Today we had baby Meerpohl baptised! It was a great day and
a lot of his family and friends came to celebrate with us. Sugar was quite the ham in front of the congregation, he was laughing and jumping for everyone! He took his three hand fulls of water with no problem and was walked up and down the church by our preacher.

We came home to a great lunch that was pot-luck! I think those end up being the best dinners. We had plenty of food and we were so glad to have our house filled with our loved ones. It is so nice just to be able to catch up with everyone.

We were all ready for a nap when the day was done and Daryl barely made it to eight before he crashed. I guess being held and kissed all day can really wear a little guy out! :-)

This weekend I also got my hair cut. I LOVE it. It takes about two minutes to dry and then I'm ready to go. It seems like I go thru this cycle with my hair. I cut it all off then I get tired of having it trimmed all the time, then I grow it out and I get tired of the non stop ponytail look. Maybe I will keep the short now that I really don't have minute to spare in the morning!!

I hope everyone had just as good a Day as we did at the Manor!!!

Easter

Spent the Easter holiday far far far away with my pretty brother and his even prettier fiance! Thankfully we made it home with only about 25 minutes of crying in the car. That is improvement!

We had a lot of fun dyeing Easter eggs and playing with our nephews and niece. They also had a good time playing with D. He has gotten so big since the last time they saw him. They have gotten big themselves!

My golf lessons are still going good. If we have good weather this weekend I'm going to have to go out and practice! I bet I can find a good caddy right around the house. ;-)

Looking forward to having family over this weekend and felting Kelly's slippers! Those are the two goals. Gotta have short term goals!!

Nothing Exciting, But that's Kinda Nice!

There is not too much new at the Manor. Sugar is still perfecting his mobility skills and Kelly and I are still scrambling to get things out of his reach!

Kelly golfed a 40 something last night (nine holes) and I learned how to actually swing a club! He doesn't believe it but I think I'm going to be better than him! After all after one lesson I was hitting straight and into the air, so really what's left to perfect?!

We will be heading Northwest for Easter this year. I'm not sure if we are mentally prepared but we shall go anyway! :-)

I hope the Easter Bunny treats everyone well and next year I'm going to be a good Mom and decorate for all of the holidays. So far for 2009 Sugar has got nothing! Poor guy.
