What a great weekend!

Mmmm!  Is there a better way to start a weekend other than aebleskivers?  I think NOT!  Yummy!  Today we had them with coffee, juice, ham and fruit.  Fantastic!


We've been SUPER busy this week.  David had to go to Portland, so I was single Mom with a schedule!  Thursday night Janelle had a dance.  Her cousin Abbi came over and they got ready together.  They turned out beautifully and had a blast dancing!

Cousins!

So pretty!

So Janelle!

She's growing up too fast!

This weekend was also the Poultry Show at Redwood Acres.  Emma was the only one at our house who wanted to enter her chickens, so in we went Friday night with her two cornish hens, Queen & Princess, as well as the chicken she created with her daddy.  They had a ball putting it together.  We got the ladies settled into their cages, and had a nice visit with my nephew Cody and his friend Zach.  They came down from Oregon to participate in the show too.  They did great and won 4 Best of Breeds!  Way to go Cody & Zach!

Emma and her prize winning Cornish Hens!

Emma did FANTASTIC in her very first show!  The hen on the left won 1st place & Reserve Champion, and the hen on the right won 2nd place!  Emma was so happy!  I think the icing on the cake was the 1st place blue ribbon Emma spotted on her 'chicken' she made with her Dad.  That smile lasted a long time!

I'm so happy her first exhibition was such a success!  Way to go Emma!!!!!

Also today, we went to Fortuna and four of us (because Emma didn't need one yet) got our Whooping cough boosters.  Sore arms all around, but it's worth it.  Better a sore arm than pertussis!

Tonight, (Saturday)  Andrea is at her Semi-Formal in Ferndale.  She looks beautiful in her dress, and I can't get over how grown up she is becoming.  She's a lovely young lady, and I hope she is having a wonderful time!  Meanwhile, we are sitting at home waiting until it's time to go pick her up.  Has it really been that long since it was David and I were the ones going to dances?  I guess so!

Looking all grown up

Look!  Her eyes match her dress!



Tomorrow, we will have a tired Andrea, chicken pickup, and laundry.  David mowed the lawn today, so we are ready for the rain coming later this week.  Good job, honey!

Sorry the blog was so long, I was a little behind!  I will talk about the sassy new haircut next time!
