Summer in March.

We have just finished the most awesome March ever in Wisconsin history. Unseasonably high temperatures and and beautiful dry spring. Now we are waiting for the rain to come and green everything up. Daffodils are blooming and tulips are on the way! I have some really nice pictures of our weekend with Autumn and Phil who were home from Colorado.
Beau place 3rd in wrestling at USA Wrestling State Kids State. Dave and Virgina Goodlaxson joined us in Madison for Friday night and Saturday. We came home for Sunday and celebrated some birthday's. We appreciated the family time together and were sad to see Autumn and Phil go back.


Dale did a wood floor and built a staircase this week. One of our former customers did a people search on Dale, as he wanted more work done. Suddenly two more of our former customers want things done to their floors also. It should make for a nice summer. Check out the pics of the stair case in progress and the finished product. Blaise was home on spring break so we trained him at the store. He caught on amazingly fast and was by himself for four days. We will be glad to have him this summer so we can take a vacation. This meant that I was up in Marshfield all week. I am so happy to be off today, because my hubby worked so hard to get done, so I could spend one day with my kids on spring break.

A nice quiet Saturday...........

It is that time of year, where I have to buckle down and do some serious bookkeeping so we can get our taxes done. I don't like this time of year at all but am grateful that I have that deadline to actually catch everything up once a year. Today my family is of playing while I am working so I will post some photos from last October when Autumn and Phil were home. Notice that we even get the son-in-law in the act of making Sunday dinner. Than there is the male bonding time on the couch in 2009. Don't forget, Chantel pretending she is Hannah Montana, so Beau had to join her as a backup singer.
Next Tuesday my youngest and oldest children, will have their birthdays and will be 6 and 27 respectively. This will be the first time in a long time that we have not ate cake for both of them at the same time. Happy Birthday, Kent and we are sorry we don't get to celebrate with you this year! We have a lot of other things going on on Tuesday so we celebrated Chantel's birthday on Thursday night with one set of grandparents. We will probably have another small celebration next Wed. so the birthday will last longer. If this allows me to I will post a video of Dale's chorus singing at the funeral of the wife of one of his barbershop friends. The quality of the video is not so good as I was in the back of the room and it was my little camera but the sound wasn't bad considering it was in a sound deadening funeral chapel. The hubby who is a very good friend of Dale's, sang with the chorus, and I think it was a really good release for him.
