We have been having many visitors lately, hence less time for blogging. ha ha Michelle came up in the middle of June and Grace (and us) had a blast. Rustin had to work all day Saturday so us girls hung out. We ate at Pizza Ranch for lunch. It has been quite awhile since we've eaten there because we'd almost forgotten about our special 3-D pizza. Half pizza, fourth cheese bread, and fourth dessert pizza. Oh so yummy! Except we ordered pepperoni, green pepper, onion, and mushroom and it came out with alot of mushrooms and aLOT of green and black olives and none of the other ingredients. Maybe next time will be better. Saturday night we just hung out at home. Grace is into matching colors or styles of clothes or pretty much anything, so Sunday she had to wear a teal dress to church because Shell had on a teal top. We went to Rustin's parents for Father's Day. It was nice except Grace was freaked out of the fire crackers. Monday Michelle left for a vacation in Duluth. I'll have to admit I was a little jealous.
The rest of June flew by. I helped at getting the town ready for the 4th celebration. I am very thankful I am pregnant in Mn and not Il this summer. The few days it has gotten hot I get pretty beat. Lots of water!!! Don't worry, this week is my last week of work before #2 comes.
Bob and Jenny came up for the 4th weekend. We hauled the poor people out of bed at 8:30 for the pancake breakfast on Saturday morning after little sleep the night before. For the parade we sat in front of Meadowland which was a bad idea for sun/heat. At least we had an endless supply of drinks. Afterwards we crashed in the AC until later. At 10 we headed out to watch the fireworks. Grace sat in her car seat most of the time with her ears covered and a blanket over her. She wanted me to shut the windows but with it still being upper 80's I figured that might not be a good idea. Sunday we went to church and to Rustin's folks afterwards. Grace liked riding the 4-wheeler with Bob the best because he would let her hold down the throttle. On Monday morning Bob and Jenny left for Il. Besides wanting to "match" Jenny all weekend, Grace would go up to Bob, wrap her arms around his legs and say 'My Bob.' She of course made sure Jenny was watching. When we were kids we had a Commodore 64 for a computer. Some of our favorite games were Pipeline and Ugh-lympics. Bob found a website with these games on it, so we spent some time playing from our past. The only downside is the keyboard is a lot harder to catch the hang of than the joycestick we used to have. Such problems!!
the only px I have of the last 3 weeks. Grace in the car during fire works
After Bob and Jenny left we went shopping in Alex and met Keith and Lois for counseling:) and supper. We hadn't chatted with them in a LONG time so it was very refreshing. Next week Susan and Matt are coming up for a while, so we are excited about that. I'm guessing that will be the end of visitors until the baby comes. Hopefully August 3rd still!

Hilarious! At our last potluck, Bob and Dale (Koch) were talking about the Ugh-lympics...I'm not surprised he found them online! :) Sounds like a fun summer...I'm glad for your sake you're in cool MN, too! It was not much fun being pregnant in IL last summer, either. :) (At least heat-wise).
