September 13th

Hey everyone. Hope that this finds you all doing well.

I guess I will start with Labor Day. Mike's parents came in for the weekend. We had a great visit. Mike and his dad drove down to Canon City to pick up a car that his dad was delivering to Wisconsin. While his parents were here, our well went out again. Talk about a bummer! We were set to have people over that weekend for a BBQ, but we had to cancel it. Mike, his dad and I managed to get the water out of the well pit and Mike hooked up new electrical boxes, since the other ones, that we had just replaced two weeks prior, were toast! But in doing so we did get the water back on. So we were only without water for less than 24 hours! On Monday, actual Labor Day, Mike and just sat around and literally did nothing. We were both exhausted from the day before, dealing with the well. We sat outside on the deck, did a bit of drinking :) and just relaxed. It was so nice. I don't think we have done that since our 10 year anniversary. So it was much needed!

Kristian is still enjoying 6th grade. He told us the other day that he had a playing test in band and he got an A+. He was so thrilled.

Last weekend, Kristian had a birthday party to go to, so it was just me, Mike and Dylan. We went into town and Mike shopped for some new tools, he actually had a list! After that we had lunch and then went for a hike at a local park. I wish I would've had my camera, but... After that we went grocery shopping and then headed home. On Sunday I was going to mow the grass, but it was so cold out. I think the high for that day was in the 50's. I did manage to mow for about an hour and a half, but that was pretty much my limit. Luckily the grass doesn't look all that bad. Mike had plans to work out in the shop on Sunday, but his work had other plans. He was on call and like always, he got called in. He was not happy about it, but it is his job. So what can you do?

Dylan's 4th birthday is coming up on the 30th. I think instead of having a party we are just going to go away for the weekend. We asked him what he would rather do, a party or stay in a hotel. He said stay in a hotel. That's my boy!! Not that I don't enjoy putting together a party and having everyone out, it will be nice for a change.

I am finally getting to have my Pampered Chef party on Saturday. It was supposed to be a month ago, but that is when our well went out the first time and I had to reschedule it. Luckily the majority of everyone could still make it, so that was good. I felt horrible that I had to cancel it, but? I think Mike is going to be delivering a car for a guy out of Canon City this weekend. The same guy his dad delivered a car for. Luckily he only has to take it to Denver though.

Well I guess that is it. I don't have any pictures to post this time. Sorry about that. I will try to take some for next time. Have a great weekend.
