Enjoying the Sun

Not much to report this weekend. The sun was finally out and stayed dry this weekend. Been a long time since that has happened. Spent part of Saturday cleaning the house and working out in the back, repotting some stuff. We then cooked out on Saturday night, invited the King's parents over for some steaks. Took the King to Ross on Sunday and then cooked burgers out for her parents again. Getting ready to head back home to meet the Sears guy. Seems our fridge is having problems and needs repair. Till next time.

Happy Birthday Edge!

All of us out here on the West Coast would like to wish the Edge man a very happy birthday!!

We love you buddy!!

I Feel Your Pain

Well after this last weekend I can certainly sympathize with Greg and Jeanne. We spent two days looking for a dress for Crysta. She will be having her 8th grade graduation luncheon where they all get dressed up. It was a whole lot easier with Elijah. Just got him a shirt and tie to match his slacks. We hit several malls and traveled over 200 miles in search of "The Dress" We finally managed to find a few that she liked, she now just has to decide which one she likes best. She tried them on and we took photo's of each so she could look at them later. Sorry no photo's for the blog. She made me promise I wouldn't put any up yet. She looked so pretty and grown up, she's never allowed to date. The King and I have decided at least not until she is 21. Other than that we just tried to stay dry. It keeps on raining here, but it may have stopped for a few days, at least until maybe Friday. The kids were on Spring Break last week, and with it raining every day they were pretty loopy by the end of the week since they were inside the whole time. Hope everyone had a nice Easter and that the kids (Mike & Greg) enjoyed the egg hunt. Loved Edge's doo rag! Till Later!

Still Kicking

Well another weekend has come and gone without to much fanfare. Crysta had another game and her team won again. They are doing pretty well this year. Didn't do much this weekend. The King and her family went to visit a relative of her mother's on Saturday leaving me and the kids at home. We watched the OU women play softball and then watched the OU Spring game on ESPN. We then went out to dinner when the King got back at this new Chinese place that was pretty good. Got up yesterday and went to Chinatown so the King and her Mom could do their grocery shopping. We went for Dim Sum while we were there. Once we got home The King and the kids made wonton for wonton soup. It was pretty good. Looks like rain here again today, which has been happening a lot lately. I can only remember about two days that it hasn't rained in the last month and a half. Until next time!

Water Logged

Well this weekend we loaded up and went down to Great America amusement park and rode roller coasters all day. That was in between the rain showers. In the month of March here, it rained 25 days of the month. It was a record. When we left Saturday morning it was raining pretty hard and everyone was looking at me like I was crazy. But by the time we got there the rain had stopped and we were able to enjoy the day. On Sunday we went to the cemetery for the Chinese ritual of the families going to the graves and having a picnic. I'm sure their is a more technical name for it. The entire family gets together and takes all sorts of food and drink to the graves. Incense is burned along with candles. Wine is poured on the graves for the ancestors to enjoy as well as leaving food for them to enjoy. Fake money is burned, so that they will have money in the afterlife. It must have been the last day of the celebration because I have never seen so many people at a cemetery in my life. Plus it was raining. After the rituals were completed we packed up all of the food and went back to the King's parents to eat. As we start another week out here they say it should rain for the next two weeks. Oh well! On another note: Auna you were simply stunning.
