There was one thing that made this weekend great. Cody! He's usually working, tending to his cows or doing side-jobs, but this weekend we had him the majority of the time. It's so much easier when he's around. He's a great distraction for the boys and he's there to do those little things I would rather not do (change light bulbs, trash duty and picking up the mouse we found, ewww).
We had a picnic on Saturday. The wind hadn't started at that time, so the day was beautiful. We ate our lunch and played in the park. Tyson loved it because we were able to let him walk/crawl around on this grassy area. He had his first taste of grass:)
We were invited to our friend's/neighbor's house for dinner that evening. The meal was delicious and they have kids the same age as ours, so they were busy and exhausted when we got home.
On Sunday we were served another free meal at my parent's house. More steak!! Can't get enough. Steak is one of the things Trevor eats best. The afternoon was great and I know the boys loved seeing their grandparents. At first they're hesitant, but they always light up after a while. My mom bought this little, one-bedroom house and Cody is going to help them lay a foundation for it. It's going to convert into an office for my step-dad.
Other than all the great meals and play-time, the rest of the weekend was devoted to cleaning. I told Cody I would rather clean the entire house than do the dishes, and I did! We went through about 20+ loads of laundry. Our water pressure was great, which is unusual because we share a well with the cows and they're usually hogging the water (annoying). So, I took advantage of the water pressure while I could.
Well, Monday morning is here and I need to priortize and attend a team meeting:) Later everyone:) I have recent pictures and I'll post soon!

A Little Bit of This...And a Little Bit of That...
Sick, sick, sick. We've all been pretty sick. Except Cody, he never gets sick. Or if he does he doesn't complain about it (like someone I know...me). Trevor has a nasty cough (note to self - buy Zyrtec). Tyson and I have been passing the same stomach bug back and fourth for a couple weeks. I swear, if there is any type of bug I'll get it. I'm a Lysol addict...I don't get it. I need to do better at taking those horse pill vitamins.
I'm excited that my friend KT is moving back to Nebraska. Even if she is in Omaha. Great excuse for a get-away!
I've been knitting lately. At the beginning of my project it was going to be a scarf, but I think I made it too wide, so I may alter it into a hat. We'll see...I might get mad and pull the whole thing apart, who knows...I've also been reading a great book. The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. You may have seen specials on his last lecture at Carnegie Mellon on ABC. Good book, so far. It gets a little boring when he talks about virtual technology, blah blah...but I'm hanging on b/c I know at some point he's going to break down his overtly positive attitude and talk about dying. I love books that make me cry:(
Trevor also starts pre-school next week. He'll have one more year in pre-school and then he'll officially become a Bronco. He's excited to go to Amherst. A lot of times when we get to the highway and turn left towards Kearney, he'll say "when I'm five and I'm a big boy we'll get to go that way (west) to the big boy school. Chase goes to the big boy school". Well, Chase (Cody's brother) no longer goes to the big boy school, but I don't want to dash his excitement.
Well, I hope everyone has a great Labor Day. Maybe the weather will warm up and we can take the boat out. We might think about taking a trip to Omaha to go to the zoo. We've been talking about it all summer and now summer is almost over.

Tyson's Little Dance
Tyson surprised me with this little dance the other day. He just learned how to wave and clap, but the sexy pose caught me off-guard.
The Epley Family Reunion
On Sunday we attended the Epley Family Reunion. My grandpa is the youngest of 18 children and he's the only one still alive. We threw a surprise 80th birthday party for him. As you can imagine, there were quite a few people there. We had a great afternoon catching up with family and hearing some great stories.

That Photoshop Training Was Good For One Thing!
I recently went to a Photoshop training for work. I tried out a little technique that I learned. It's kind of cool, I thought. It's supposed to look like a sketch. Yes, that is chocolate milk around Trevor's mouth.
