Waiting & playing for the bbq to be ready.

After ejoying our bbq, we took a tractor & wagon ride around the property.


It was a wonderfully relaxing weekend!

Happy St. Patty's Day

Yesterday on St. Patty's Day I had the pig weigh in for the county fair. After i got home and cleaned up from helping. We headed out to our friends to celebrate his birthday. Mr. C shot some clay birds with him and we enjoyed some good food and company. We did not stay late as Lil Miss C was with us and we headed home once she started to get tired. None the less it was a wonderful day and glad we got to spend some time with our friends MJ & JB.

Also mowed grass for the first time for the season this weekend....crazy early but it was been such an early warm spring so far.

Oh so fun!

Yesterday I went out to my Ganny & Gramps farm and visited with my great aunt, sister CJ & my mom. CJ was bakng pie's and she made me my favorite...Granny's chocolate pie. I am a big chocolate eater, but nobody makes chocolate pie the way my Granny did. CJ did a od job following her receipe, but she still has some practicing to do till it's as food as Granny's.

Then after got home Mr. C and I went and did some shopping. We had gotten our state taxes back and we had decided with our state taxes that we would split it between the 3 of us and each get something we wanted or needed.

Mr. C got a new bbq grill. It is a nice big charcoal grill with a smoker box on the side.

We got Lil Miss Ca wagon and a umbrella stoller. She absolutely loved the wagon rides we gave her over the weekend and I think we will most defintantly use this a lot!


And i am going to spend my money on some new clothes and decorations for the house!

Whew....what a week it has been

I have been out of town at a work conference all week. I really enjoyed the conference, learning and networking, but it was also very stressfull being out of town this week because our truck was in the shop getting fixed and I had to figure out how get money from our savings account at my small home town bank so that Mr. C could pay for the truck and pick it up. Let me tell you, it's no fun when his name is not on the account, i don't have access to a fax line to fax a form saying he could withdraw money, they are only open from 9A-3P.....ugh.....needless to say i am thank ful that my mom is still on the account and she was free during the day to go and withdraw the money and take it to Mr. C. Now i just need to add him to that account so we don't have to hassle with it in the future.

We spent the weekend relaxing.

Bogity Bogity Bogity....Let's go racing boys!

Today was the Daytona 500 to start off the 2012 Nascar racing season. Or at least it was supposed to be. Needless to say, it got rained out, and will be on tomorrow. It was a beautiful day, so instead of bbqing and watching the race, we bbqed, played outside, went on a hayride and enjoyed the beautiful weather and the company of friends and family. Disappointed that i won't be able to completley watch and enjoy of the race tomorrow when it is one, but it was was wonderful day none the less.

Roadside assistance

Thank goodness for it! After our dentist appointment Mr. C was accerlating and merging onto a busy interstate and then there was nothing....The truck just died and wouldn't start. Luckily a few years ago we decided to get AAA and i am so glad we spend the extra money for it. We have gotten our money's worth out of it. As Mr. C was trying to get the truck to start, i was busy calling them to have them send a tow truck. after about 45 minutes, we had the truck loaded on the tow truck, and the 3 of us loaded in Mr. C's dad's truck and headed to the garage. Now we keep our fingers crossed that it is an inexpensive fix...
