A farming weekend...

This weekend, we got our carpets cleaned, so we opted to head to Grandpa and Grandma Lansink's on Saturday to let the carpets dry and so we could get in some much desired tractor and combine rides....The boys LOVED it, of course...they rode pretty much all afternoon and had to be dragged in for supper and a bath!!! we had tons of fun too, because Ellie and Malia were staying with G & G for the night...Adam & Jodi were off to a wedding so we got to hang out with them...which was tons of fun, especially for Ashley and Malia...they had so much fun playing together and singing songs...it was really too cute:) After a long day riding...the boys & Ashley crashed on the way home....they had soooo much fun:) Thanks for the rides Grandpa:)

Then on Sunday, we just hung out....got some stuff cleaned up outside...I guess preparing for the "S" word....I don't even want to think about snow yet, but I am sure it is inevitable, so better be prepared, huh????

SO that was pretty much it...just a lot of fun on the farm & not so much fun cleaning, but doing what needed to be done:) Hope you all had a great weekend too and enjoy your week:)

Lazy weekend

Hello all...Not much going on this weekend, for a change!!!! Chris worked this weekend, so the kids and I are just hanging out, doing some cleaning, and trying to get them over some colds...they all have a runny nose and cough!!! we thought maybe we would get to go ride in the combine today, but it is raining so that will have to wait, even though they are DYING to ride in it!!!!! That is all they talk about...tractors, combines, riding...it is the thing to do ya know!!!!

So that is all that we know around here this weekend...pretty boring to report...I do have some pics to post...here are how we found the boys laying the other night when we were getting ready to go to bed...somehow they always end up right next to each other...must be a twin thing!!! and poor Ashley Jo's hair...oh the price of beauty....her hair was standing straight up when I went to give them a bath last night, due to her cute pony tail that she had in yesterday...

Enjoy:)

Minneapolis weekend

We had another fabulous adventure this past weekend...we went to Minneapolis to visit our friends Trent, Sue, Brayden & Adam...It was Trent's birthday...I won't mention the number because I might have a target on my back if I did....!!! But we had a fun fun fun time....minus the throwup and sickness that occured while we were there...Poor Ashley Jo got sick on the ride up there and then acted completely fine...then she got sick again on Sunday while we were at the Mall of America...of course it was ALL OVER ME!!! Loads of fun there:) but she didn't act sick, so that is the weird thing, no fever, and a very good attitude...strange...I called the dr today and they said something is going around like this and it should be getting better...so far she was good today, just some yucky diapers...hopefully it is getting better...but the boys are fine and we all had a fun trip playing with our friends...

We went up with Mike, Melissa, Nick & Ben...got a hotel suite close to the mall of America so we could share and hang out...went to Trent and Sue's house for the party, where the boys & Ashley got to play with all the other little ones...We are soooo lucky that our friends all have kids right at the same age, they all get along really well and had soooo much fun!!!! THen Saturday night we hung out in our hotel room while the kids slept in the rooms, the guys played poker and Melissa & I got to relax by the hot tub...

Sunday Sue brought Brayden & Adam over to the hotel, we did breakfast at the hotel, then got ready to go SWIMMING!!! tons of fun...the kids LOVED IT...then we got all packed up and took off for the MOA to do some fun rides for the kids...(the big kids even got to ride one...) then we ate at the food court, Ashley got sick, so we went back to Trent & Sue's and did some more laundry and hung out until the drive home...the kids were sleeping with in five minutes of Trent and Sue's...slept the whole drive home, then woke up to come in the house, then went back to sleep and slept until 7 am this morning~~~ they were TIRED!!!

So that was our VERY FUN adventure...thanks so much for Trent for having a birthday, and for Sue for hosing a fun party and for all of the stuff this weekend...the laundry and treats and everything...we had such a fun time....makes us realize how much we miss you guys since you are so far away:( but it is always so much fun to get together....we will have to do it again soon!!!

Go Broncos!

This weekend was a big one for us around here!!! Chris and I decided to take advantage of the Broncos being so close to us, so we called my Aunt & Uncle, Julie and Steve and went to Kansas City for the game....we had GREAT weather, FABULOUS seats & AWESOME company, but unfortuanatly the otucome ended with the Chiefs beating the Broncos...although they lost, we still had a WONDERFUL time and look forward to going back, if not for a game, at least to visit Julie, Steve & Nick again...it was such a short trip, we left Saturday after Chris got off of work, and then left right after the game got over yesterday to get back and get our kids!!!!

THE KIDS>>> got to have some fun with grandpa and grandma Lansink....they got to ride the tractor, the 4-wheeler, and play outside a lot....they had soooo much fun, but of course they always do when they go to visit G & G!!! They also got to go into Uncle Adam & Aunt Jodi's to play with cousins Ellie & Malia...Jodi took a ton of pics with her new camera...and she did a great job!!! Check out the kids playing at http://jodiphoto.blogspot.com

Thanks to G & G for taking wonderful care of the kids and having so much fun with them:) We love you...

So check out the pics of the kids on Adam & Jodi's blog, and here are our pics of the fun time at the Broncos game!!!

Weekend

Well, it was a pretty relaxing weekend around the Schrunk house...Grandpa George & Grandma Jane came to play on Friday and then went camping with friends on Saturday, so the kids got to have some fun play time with them...The rest of Saturday we didn't do anything!!!! just a whole lot of nothing...then today, we just goofed around and watched TV, played outside, and enjoyed the weather being so beautiful:)

In the pics, Ashley has decided that the lawn mower is HERS...."mine" she says to Ayden!!! So of course she is becoming very independent and definitly has a mind of her own~~

Ayden...well, is just goofy...we went for a wagon ride today, and there was a truck hauling some big round hay bales...of course the boys spotted that, and Ayden had to point out that Grandpa's cows eat hay...and then that horses eat hay...and then he said that he wanted to eat HAY!!!!!!!! hmmmm....so I told him I would call Grandpa and tell him to bring up some hay and I wouldn't need to buy any more groceries!!! of course, he smiled and said NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! to that:) what a stinker:)

Elliott was telling us tonight at supper who is boys and who is girls...Ayden is a boy, Elliott is a boy, daddy is a boy, mommy is a girl, Ashley is a girl...so then I asked, well what is Liberty????? Liberty is RED!!!!!!!!!! duh, mom!!!!!!!!! well, he didn't say the duh mom part but that was pretty much implied~~~


Hope everyone has a good week...More later:)

Nothing much new...

Nothing really new to report on the home front...just some cute pics of the kids:) Ashley has been really into playing with her dolls this week, she gets the bottle and sits there and feeds the baby...it is TOO CUTE:) what a good little mommy!!! and the boys...well...ya know, busy as ever:) they are doing exceptional with the potty thing!!! we are very proud of them:) also they have been big into singing...so we are singing the abc's and twinkle twinkle and all the regulars like a hundred times a day...lots of fun:)

Omaha Zoo & The Hudson's

Today we decided to venture down to Omaha to visit the Henry Doorley Zoo...It was a chilly day, but it really wasn't bad...it was great because the zoo was not crowded at ALL!!! Which was really great for the kids, we got to see a lot of great things and they really enjoyed themselves...they especially loved the aquarium with all the fish, penguins and SHARKS:) it was a great time...

After a picnic lunch at the zoo, we headed over to visit our friends Tom and Randi and their baby Logan...well, Baby Logan is turning 1 on Sept. 11th so we took him his birthday present and spent some time visiting with them while the kids played...it is always great to see Tom and Randi...seems like now that we have kids that you never get to spend time with the friends that you once did, so it was really awesome that we got to hang out and catch up with them while all the kids played...it was a great day!!!
