Spring

Happy Thursday everyone,

Hope you are all doing well! We sure are!  Everyone has been healthy and loving that the weather is getting nicer all the time.  We had a great Easter but we did miss my family as they were all up at Scott and Stephanie's house for Easter but I ended up needing to trade to have this upcoming Saturday and worked an evening on Easter! But for lunch we had Scotts parents over for lunch and that worked out well!  Last Saturday Henry went to one of his friends birthday party’s and then we went to Mazeppa for an Easter egg hunt….kind of a waste of time, but he loved it! (the reason i say it was a waste of time is that he truly got like 5 eggs:) ) then on Easter morning Henry was all excited to see what the Easter bunny brought for him, and he ended up getting  some books, a kite, a MN twins baseball hat, and a couple puzzles!  He was in heaven.  Olivia got a few books too as well as a swing for out in our tree.  Other than that our week has been pretty boring. 

The house that we liked and were planning/hoping to buy if our house sold ended up getting sold or it is in the process of being sold right now.  :( darn it anyhow!  So now we are looking to see if there are any other houses that we would be interested in purchasing if someone would happen to want our house.  We have a few that we kind of like online, but have not even went to go look at and at this point in time I do not think that it is really even worth going to look at them!  We really cannot find any others out in the country that are at a price we could realistically afford. But we would be game to move i no town possibly somewhere else where there are a few kids for Henry and Olivia to play with. That is the definite downside to where we are living now.  but we will see……

Our camper is great, we have enjoyed just looking at it lately.  I am hoping to clean the inside real good next week when I am off and it sounds like the weather is going to be perfect for working outdoors!  I have been trying to look for good places to take the kids camping this summer.  The only for sure trip we have planned is to go to Itasca State Park the week after the 4th of July with Pat and Pauline as well as Bonnie and Randy.  It will be SO awesome for that!  We will have enough room for us all and some storage!  Cannot wait! 

Henry will be turning 3 soon and we have his party planned for Saturday, May 8th for supper.  So now i am trying to get all that stuff organized! 

well, i better go….Olivia thought she missed me too much the last couple of days while I was working and has taken about a thirty minute nap all day long!  

have a great weekend~Katie

camper
















Last night we went and bought a 1995 Dutchmen Pop Up camper. It looks pretty darn nice, needs a bit of work here and there just because it is abit older, but it will work for us right now. Especially until we figure out just how much we really will use it. But, it has a king size bed on one end, a queen on the other, the seating area turns into a bed for one or two little people and the table folds down as well into another little bed. So it can sleep 8 people, I am not sure if I would ever want 8 people sleeping in it! .... but you never know! It also has a little sink, fridge, stove, canopy, screen porch for it and some storage inside. So we are quite excited to use it! Here are some photos! Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful day! ~Katie
