The weekends go so fast!!!

This weekend was great, but crazy busy... as always. Friday night, Mom and Perry came over and brought us some delicious chicken for dinner. It was great to see them and spend the evening chatting and catching up. Dane was sure happy to see Grandma and Grandpa!

On Saturday we got up and while I cleaned the house, Clint cut up his sheep. Then we ground some up and made burger and a little sausage. After that we worked on organizing our house. (a constant battle!!!)
Saturday evening we had some company and it was wonderful. Mike, Aimee, Sharmin, Ashton, Isabelle, and Aiden came over for dinner and we had a great evening. Here is a picture of Aiden and Aimee. He is going to be a big boy, just like Dane!!!
Sunday was a gorgeous day. We helped Perry move a bunch of stuff into their house and then we came home so Clint could work on the shed. I helped him a little bit and just puttered around the yard, watering, etc. Here is Perry and Dane taking a needed break!!!
Dane's thrush seems to be getting better. It is still there a little bit, but he seems to be feeling MUCH better. Last night he only woke up once and it was just to eat, he didn't fuss at all! Of course it seems like he is fighting a cold as well, so he is really stuffed up this morning... Holy cow, that poor boy's immune system is getting quite the workout these days...
Here are a couple pictures of the shed Clint is building. He sure is a handy guy to have around!!!

My Dad is quite the runner and I just have to brag a little bit... He has been running races all summer and has been doing really well. There is a series called the Extera (I'm not sure if that's how it's spelled) It is made up of multiple races throughout the summer. Then they take the top people from each age group for the Nationals. The Nationals were over the weekend in Bend and my Dad had qualified so he went and raced. He came in #1 in his age group!!! So, now he is going to Hawaii in December for the World race. I think my brother will be running it with him, so that's pretty exciting!!! I tried to take some photos from one of his races to put on here, but they wouldn't let me...

Dane looks like such a big boy sitting up like that, he is so darn cute! Nice job on the shed Clint, I'm sure that will be nice to have, never can have enough storage. Glad you had a good visit with your company and Grandma and Grandpa.
