Our day at home in Iowa April 10-14

Sorry this blog has been waiting so long. This is when we were at Scott's in Iowa last April 2012. The pictures below are of the bunnies Great Grandma Hart sent the girls for Easter.


Katie riding her bike at the park.

Cuddling with Kourtney and Bunkey

Katie and Grandpa

Jeff and Scott went on a field trip to the gun store in the mall in  Iowa City.
Katie and Grandma's Spa Day! We did each others hair and make-up.


Kourtney eying the make-up box. 

We did each other's finger nails. Katie wanted her nails done every other one pink and purple.

Grandma had hers done all a pretty pink.

Then we did  play dough for a long time. It was really  fun.
After lunch, we walked over to the Scone House. The girls had cookies and Grandma got to take pictures.

It was a beautiful afternoon. We played out in the back yard. Katie and I played pretend restaurant where she made me wonderful healthy things with no sugar in them. Kourtney played with her baby and stroller.

When Jeff and Scott got back he got out the little ride-it jeep. Both girls could make it go like greased lightening.
We all had fun doing sidewalk chalk.

We promised to babysit while Scott and Stacy went on an anniversary date (14 years) if they would let me take a picture of them before they left. They went to dinner and a show.
Side Note: a half hour after dinner, the city called and said to boil all water until further notice. Jeff and I boiled the water and washed the dinner dishes. The order was lifted the next morning a water pipe had broken somewhere in town.

Grandpa chillin' and taking it all in.

Back Country dishrag

I started this dishrag as we left home today about noon. Jeffrey is shooting in the back country of Ventura County. It is about 6:30 pm and the sun would be in his eyes but he is shooting from the shade behind the Jeep. He is using targets he found here. He forgot the bowling pin.
I'm going to set behind him in the shade and knit. I want to try and finish the rag before we get home about 10 tonight if I have a book light with me now.

Pockets

Today I am thankful for pockets.
*I can put my phone in my pocket and it goes with me wherever I go. I don't have to scramble when I hear if ring.
*I can put my socks in my pocket when I am getting ready to go so I have them when I get to putting my shoes on.
* I love putting my keys in my pocket so that when I am done at the store or wherever I am, I don't have to search to the black hole which is the bottom of my purse.
* I can put meds in my pocket to free up my hands to do other things when going out to dinner . That way I have what I need at dinner.
*I have some place to put my hands when they don't have several things in each one.
*I love pockets because they hold credit cards and money so I don't loose them. I love it when I get back the money that was in them taking out the wash. Although, I have to be extra careful that I don't leave my phone in them and have it go thru the washer. That would be really bad!!!.

I am so thankful for pockets. There was I time that I was so big that it didn't matter if my pants had pockets in them, I could not use the pockets. I am so thankful to have them and use them now. Me now compared to me then is a miracle!
