What a fun weekend

We had a lot of fun this weekend. I had to work on Saturday, but after I worked we spent good quality family time together. Carlee and Bert worked on painting some more fence while I was working. When I got home Tanner and Bert started to build fence on the east side of the house. In the evening Sara, Laney, Ellie, Bob, Tara, Payton, and Koen came out. We ate some spaghetti and the kids got to play together. The kids had a ball. Sara had to leave to go and pick up Brianna. Brianna got to go and play at a friends house. Bob and Bert got the job of putting a stick on stencil up on my family room wall. By the time they were done Bert hated me. HA!! I think Bob would have too, but he had already put two up for Tara at their house. He hated Tara first, so he knew what to expect. Sunday we all got together and had lunch at our house. We normally eat at mom and dad's but they are having cards at their house on Monday so didn't want to make a mess for them to clean up. Bert went over and got chicken from Chicken Mary's. It was pretty good eating!!! Payton and Brianna decided they weren't ready to go home, so they stayed and played at our house for a while. Payton and I went outside to watch a coyote out in the field. It was a big one, the sad thing it wasn't very far from the house. Brianna and Tanner played the game boys of course. We had a very nice time this weekend and enjoyed everyone's company.

Carlee has a volleyball game tonight. She only has three games left. It seems so odd that she is almost done. She has worked so hard. She asked us in the car the other night if there was somewhere that she could play in the winter. Bert and I told her we didn't think there was, she got so disappointed. It is nice to know that she is doing something that she really enjoys. We have a couple pictures of some of the volleyball games below.
