We had a busy weekend. My birthday was Friday so the adults went out for dinner at Bruffs on Saturday night. We stopped at Mallards and then on to the Heidi for a few more drinks. Don't get too excited because we were home by 11:00. Saturday we took Lauren and Grant to the Shrine Circus. The kids had a wonderful time. The were so good. They watch the whole thing without complaining. I even enjoyed it. We hope to take them again next year. Grant was baptized on Sunday. He was good. We went down front to the alter and he had his elephant that he got at the circus with him. Pastor Tony started to baptize him and the water was running off his head onto his shirt and elephant. When Tony was done Grant turned to me and said "That man got my shirt and elephant all wet". Tony heard him so when church was over he told Grant that he was baptizing the elephant too. It was a fun but exhausting weekend. I'm glad it's all over and I have recuperated.

Lauren did the Pup Pack Cheerleading Friday night. It was lots of fun for her and her friends. They all did such a good job.

Dave had an accident today. Nobody was hurt which is a good thing. He was going to Osage City to do chores when the accident happened. He was at the interstate when Robert Harsch pulled out in front of him. Well I guess Robert didn't pull all the way out in front of Dave. Dave said he saw him come to the stop sign and then started to go so Dave hit the brakes and tried to miss Robert. Well then Robert stopped and so Dave hit him anyway. It took a sheriff's deputy about 30-45 minutes to get there because he was in Gridley when it happened. It has been a couple of hours since we have been home and I am still cold. My feet and fingers I think are still frozen. I'm just thankful that Dave is OK. The kids were upset about it. We showed them the car and Grant just wanted to be by his dad. The kids said they were going to have bad dreams tonite about the wreck. We told them that dad was OK and that was all that mattered. The car is in bad shape. Dave's grandma Williams probably rolled over in her grave because that used to be her car. RIP TO THE CRUISER!

It's been a while since I have posted anything so I've decided I better do so. We really haven't been doing much. We have had some sickness in our house. We have had colds and strep throat. We are all better now. I have really enjoyed the nice weather we have had a few days at a time. It was nice to get out and go for a walk and for the kids to play outside. I like it when they can go outside and run some energy off instead of doing it in the house. I have finished a doll house that was mine growing up and now have redone for Lauren. She loves it. I have to say it was fun. We even put lighting in it. Grant won a book from the library. It is such a nice and pretty book. We really enjoy reading it. I hope to post more things soon. Lauren will be doing the pup pack cheerleading activity next weekend and then perform it on Feb 13.
