Surpise




In March, Nicole and I started to plan Juergen’s surprise 55th birthday party.  After months of planning and stretching the truth we managed to successfully surprise Juergen with an awesome party.  One thing that failed was the video recording the great surprise.  I had 3 of his oldest and dearest friends arrive early to surprise him. For months he believed we were planning a MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) party.  We had him carry tables and buy drinks, and many other tasks for the MOPS party.  But in the end he discovered it was all a cover for his party.  And we are so grateful for all the amazing people who came to make it a great evening.  We had a nice barbeque.  I fixed shih kebab for the first time.  And the guests brought salads and desserts.  The weather turned out to be beautiful.  Many of our friends brought their kids.  That made it nice for our kids.  The entire family had a good time with music and soccer, eating and talking.  I’m so grateful it worked out well, and that Juergen got a small glimpse at how really loved he is.   


The sound is not so good but here is the cup song.

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
