Sisters to the rescue

After I had my surgery I was lucky enough to have Keith for a week so that he could take care of me and the kids. Then my luck got even better when my sister Joanna came for a long weekend to feed us good food and be there for me when I needed a sister fix. She also brought her three kids with her and after they left and Eli woke up from his nap he said, "I need my cousins to come back." I told him that I wanted them to come back too but that maybe it was our turn to make the long trek to see them. Thanks Jo for taking time out to be there for me and get me and my kids out of the house to play.


I put sisters to the rescue because Joanna also brought me an ice machine that my sister Andrea gave me for my knee. She knows my troubles because she has had two torn ACLs in her knees. Not fun! So thanks Andrea and my knee thanks you too!
I of course couldn't forget my last but defiantly not least rescuer. Heather braved my house over Memorial Day weekend. She come out with us to Meadow Acres Greenhouse to get our seeds for our garden and also flowers for my flower bed. She also spent a few hours with me and Mckenna at the mall shopping for Mckenna's birthday gifts. We had way to much fun and she helped me pick out some really cute stuff.
She also came camping with us and our friends Noah and Hollie Wilmes. Sadly it was a rainy weekend and we spent most of the time in the cabin where she and I had a good time talking. We had fun playing board games and the kids ran around playing with toys and having fun. When it was time to leave that is when things got interesting. Now Noah has been up to this cabin for years and knows his way around. There was at one point a break in the rain and we were able to get out and shot and Noah had set up a target about 25o yards away from the cabin. Well when he went out with Keith to go pick it up in his truck they got stuck. So Keith got his truck to pull him out and HE got STUCK! About an hour and a half went by and they got themselves out and we were on our way. Noah took us out a different way then when we came in because he though it would be much better since it had been raining and the dirt road would be muddy. It was probably a better way to go but defiantly not without it's muddy mess for us to travel through. We had to go extra slow because of the muddy roads and it took us about 2 hours extra to get home. So thanks Heather for coming and not killing me for taking you out camping and making your trip home a very late one.
