A busy weekend

Well,  Today is the 9th in case you weren't sure.  Well we had a good 4th of July.  Had a friend from work and his three kids over for a BBQ.  Then we had our own fireworks on the dirt patch in our back yard and then Yana burnt her poor face with a sparkler.

Well the 5th was my birthday and at the last minute we decided to go with my husband to Texas rather than spend the next possible two days at the house alone.  I really didn't want to have to take myself out to dinner.  It just didn't seem very appealing and he had to go to Texas.  We spent one night at the hotel.  Walked around a little and called on apartments, hotels, and rental properties for my in-laws.  They will be moving down there in August.  It turned out to be a good trip.  My husband took me to a couple of restaurants that he really likes. 

We ended up coming home Friday.  It was interesting.  We weren't in a hurry so we took a different route home that added another hour onto our drive.  It was fine.  The only problem was that the air conditioner on the driver's side decided to hate us and started blowing hot air.  There was no way to turn it off without turning mine off so we left it on but pointed it at the ceiling and then I tried to share my vent with my husband.  It didn't completely reach so I held a book up to help direct the air.

Saturday was a good day.  We worked in the garage in the morning.  We built a couple of shelves that helped get things off the floor.  Then while Yana napped I worked on the quilt.  It has been trimmed and the binding cut and sewn.  The binding has been sewn onto the back of the quilt.  Now I just need to iron it over, pin it and decide which stitch to use to sew it down and then I'm done with it.  I'm so excited.

Sunday we went to church.

Today has been interesting.  My husband ordered me a gift for my birthday that is supposed to be delivered today but they never say when and it needs a signature.  I also needed to drop my car off to get the air conditioner fixed.  I didn't want to leave and miss my package.  Well a friend offered to pick us up from the car place and bring us home.

After dropping off the car I started this post and then the package came so I got distracted. 

My husband bought me a new camera.  A really nice one so I'll start posting pictures as soon as I can.  Right now the battery is charging and Yana just went down for her nap so I had better get sewing.  Have a great day.

4th of July

Yesterday was a wonderful day.  We didn't really do a whole lot.  :)  I ran a 5k in the morning which was a lot of fun.  I ran this 5k 10 seconds faster than my 5k on Memorial Day.  It is so much more fun to run with friends.

After the 5k we took a breakfast casserole over to a friends house and had breakfast with most of our ward here.  It was a lot of fun.  People played volleyball, others just visited and kids swam.  We even had the youth do their swing and line dance for the upcoming youth conference dance.  (I'll give more info on that later).

Then we came home.  Josh bought a power washer Saturday to power wash our fence so he spent a couple hours working on the yard and the fence.  The yard and fence look great.  Later we went shoe shopping and ended up in the end of our shopping spree at Home Depot.

We bought lots of PVC pipe and attachments and we made a Car (trike/bike) wash.  I had seen one on the Internet one time and showed Josh.  We made our own and it is awesome.

Then we got to listen to fireworks all night long.  It kept waking our daughters up.  It was a great day.  I will share photos but right now we have to run...We are taking a tour of a preschool to see if I want to sign Sarah up or not.
