Husker Volleyball

We had a great weekend!  It started off great with Kyle coming home.  He had been in Nevada for a little over a week.  The rodeos did not go as he had hoped, the girls and I were sure happy to have him home.  Marilyn fixed supper for everyone that night.  It was fabulous as always! 

Saturday morning we stayed close to home and got caught up on some house work.  Kyle & Chip left about noon to go to Halsey's branding.  Marilyn picked the girls & I up about 1:00 & we headed to Grand Island to watch a Husker Volleyball game.  We met up with Marilyn's nieces, Melinda & Raquel along with their daughters Kassie & Karsen. We all met up at Whiskey Creek for supper then headed to the Volleyball game.  Jenae & Aubree were trilled to get to see Kassie & Karsen.  We all had a really good time!  Aubree slept all the way to Grand Island & Jenae slept most of the way home.  They were good little troopers on the road trip and at the game.  Aubree was wound up when we got home and did not go to bed until close to midnight.  She is such a night owl!!  Jenae really never did wake up when we got home. 

Sunday we went to church and the girls & I spent most of the day at home.  Kyle went up to Wakefields and helped break in some steer wrestling steers for a stock contractor.  Jenae wanted to go over to Grandpa & Grammys for a little while in the afternoon.  Chip was over to our place feeding and the girls went home with him for a couple of hours.

We have had beautiful weather the last couple of days.  Yesterday it was in the mid 60's and today it is supposed to be in the 70's.  Unfortunately all good things do come to an end and tomorrow is only supposed to be in the 40's with rain.  We will try to get the most out of today :-)

Last night the girls and I spent much of the evening out working in the yard.  I will spare you the details, but Jenae & Aubree had way too much fun playing with a dead snake!  I tried not to freak out as I do not want them to have a fear of snakes like I do.  I did make them wash really good when they were done playing with it & they both took good long soaks in the tub last night. 

Kyle took this picture of us before we headed out for the game.

Me & Aubree Joy at Whiskey Creek.  She really enjoyed the peanuts, but she & Jenae could not get over all the shells on the floor.  They just did not understand why people would throw things on the floor.

Aubree watching the Huskers warm up.

Jenae looking over the program looking to see who player # 9 was.  She had wrote all over her hands the number 9 with stars.  I asked why she did that and she told me "9 is my lucky number and I am going to cheer for #9 who ever she is."  She was a little disappointed to see there was no #9 playing for the Huskers.

Everyone waiting for the game to start.

Aubree, Jenae, Karsen & Kassie enjoying some Dippin Dots at the game.  I do not know if everyone realizes it or not, but Dippin Dots are a cure all for everything!!  Jenae had been complaining about her canker sore bothering her when ever she would try to eat anything and Aubree had a cough that day.  Both girls told me how the Dippin Dots sure made their ailments suddenly better.
