The last post
talked about finishing up soybean planting, and that is done now which is a
nice relief. We have been getting a lot
of rain lately. A little too much rain
for our liking, but there is nothing that can be done about that. Several fields have standing water in them,
and we just hope the warm weather dries the standing water up sooner rather
than later!

| Brad and I all dressed up for the wedding |
Just as soybean
planting was finishing up 2 weekends ago Brad and I were in a wedding for some
friends. The rehearsal and wedding were
great! They had a beautiful day and
everything went perfectly. One of my
favorite things about their wedding was during the reception. The DJ had every married couple come out to
dance and he would ask couples to leave according to how long they had been
married. The last couple on the dance
floor had been married 63 years! I
thought that was such a neat idea and hope that Brad and I make it there
someday J
That same weekend
my Grandpa who just had open heart surgery and quite a hospital stay got to
come home. What a huge relief for all
the family! At home he is gaining
strength every day and in better spirits.
Last week was a
busy week at the veterinary clinic and I was busy at home getting last minute
things ready for my cousin’s baby shower.
It was so nice to see her and her husband since they live out of state
and haven’t been home since Christmas.
My mom and I were in charge of fruit for the shower, so I tried a cute
idea that I found on Pinterest, and it turned out great! Here is how we did it:
Baby Carriage Fruit Bowl:
·
Simply cut the watermelon in a baby
carriage shape, and hollow out all of the watermelon.
·
For the baby’s head- cut a cantaloupe in
half, then with a knife take off the rind.
Be careful when shopping for a cantaloupe that it is small enough to fit
in your watermelon...I didn’t think of this until I was making it, but thankfully
everything fit J
·
Shape ears and a nose with cantaloupe
and attach to baby’s head with toothpicks.
·
Attach blueberry eyes with toothpicks.
·
Cut a small hole for baby’s mouth to fit
pacifier in.
·
Fill the “carriage” with some fruit
before laying the baby’s head in place.
·
Attach the wheels (orange slices and
grapes) to the “carriage” with toothpicks.
·
Enjoy!
*** The cutest thing about this
baby carriage fruit bowl was that later in the day Claire took the baby’s
pacifier out and tried feeding it some fruit.... it was so funny; she is such a
sweetheart!
The weekend
finished out with a quarterly birthday party for my mom’s family, a cookout
with some good friends and all the kids, and a nice dinner with my dad for
father’s day.
Now that all that
excitement is over I feel like I can return to my mundane routine where
everything is planned out just the way I like it; without any rushing or
hurrying J
