Vince Graduates!!!

Today my little brother Vince graduated from UCM with a degree in Broadcasting. Nate & I were planning on going to the graduation, but there weren't enough seats in the van. That's cool tho. Nate was up at 7am-ish but we watched PBS until about 9am. We got up and showered and then headed downstairs. We let Daddy lay in bed and rest. When he came downstairs, Nate & I were ready to leave to go see Ashley. I took a suitcase & a cd/book rack thing to sell in her yardsale. The suitcase sold for $1 & the rack thing will be a toy for Shrek, her bird. Me, Nate, & Ashley made a trip to Wal-Mart. I bought $108 worth of food stuffs. We haven't been "grocery" shopping for about a month!! No, I'm not kidding. Once we finished shopping and dropping off Ashley, we went home to get ready to go to Monroe.



We put Ruso outside for the day and went to Monroe. Once we got there, Joe left to go work for an old co-worker on his farm. Nate & I went to Laura's. Soon after I was sent to the store for the fixin's for chicken nachos. They were good but I still like my nachos better. And besides, no one in their house likes sour cream or guacamole! Crazy people. I also made a banana nut muffin bread. It was pretty good. We played outside for quite some time. While Laura & Logan were playing ball and Frank was working on the Slushie cart thing (he worked on it the whole day), I took Nate & Beau for a wagon ride. We walked about a mile. About 1/2 way thru, Nate decided he didn't want to ride but wanted to pull the wagon. He was pulling rather slowly but then thought it would be more fun to run in people's yards. He ended up on my shoulders & I pulled Beau by himself in the wagon. Joe came back around 6pm-ish. Soon after we went to Mom & Dad's.

Not much happened there. Mom had tea in the fridge so I decided to make popcorn in her Stir Crazy. I'm jealous of her as her popper works great! Mine makes popcorn, but hers is so quiet and works awesome!! We hung out there until about 10pm-ish when Mom, Dad, Judi, & Jack got back from Warrensburg. We stayed around for about 10 minutes or so and then left. Nate was so tired that he passed out within about a minute of being on the road. We're home now and Nate is in his pj's & in bed. I'm conked out but I knew you probably wanted a full blog, unless like last night.




Yesterday I did a lot of sewing, broke a lot of needles, only finished 1 sewing project out of the 3 that I started, and then worked from 2pm - 6pm. Close to 7pm we got Ava and went to Breadeaux's for Cheeseburger pizza! Cindy came and ate with us while Little Mike saw Star Wars and Mike and Pat were in Texas getting a trash truck. After pizza we went to the park by the river and played for awhile. We saw Lexus, Charlene's daughter, while there and she played great with Nate & Ava, mainly Ava. We came home, Nate was passed out, put him in bed and then finished watching Narnia: Prince Caspian.

I'm thankful for Little Brothers who graduate and also give me an extra phone case & stylus!
