Helping out the Fam

We have been having some interesting times lately as we have been helping out our families and enjoying some time with them.
This past Friday we went to see our niece's dance show. She did so good with all three of her dances. She was having a lot of fun and it was fun watching her grow some. We then went out with everyone that came to get some ice cream to celebrate her success.
We have also been spending a lot of time with my sister and nieces. They have come over the past week several times to go either shopping and needing an extra hand with the two little ones or just someplace to hang out for a little bit while waiting for an appointment they have. It's been fun hanging out with the girls and just enjoying the giggles and smiles.
Brian also went and helped my parents bring in a load of hay and rearrange the yard these past weeks. He helped them redo the dog pen yesterday. It is now only a fourth of the size it was which is still way big compared to a lot of dog pens. Now I guess the next thing they will want his help with is to till the old dirt, lay down a tarp, add gravel, move the clothes line, and haul up a new play thing for the grandkids and fix it up......not TOO much huh? ;) It will be a busy summer for us with us going down there on our slower days like Tuesdays. We originally went down yesterday for Father's day and took Brian's dad golfing and out to lunch...who knew we would help with so much and do a Father's /Mother's day project for my family. I helped watch the girls (since Daren and Jen were there too) and move some smaller wood pieces into the truck for my mom.
Now if only I would remember to pull out my camera to document these times. But my mind and Brian's have been preoccupied since a meeting we had last week. I will do better from here on out.
