Overnight visit

This last Thursday Esther and I got to go to the Rehms house overnight till the skating party the next day. It was very fun we got back to the Rehms house at about 8:30pm we set up are beds and watched "Love's Unending Legacy".

The next morning was a very active morning. We had to leave at 11:15 for the skating party, and Bekah had a lady coming at 10:00 to look at Blackjack, who was up for sale! It was a good a moring though because the lady that came to look at the horse decided to buy him. Bekah has been trying to sell him since last summer. So that was a big answer to prayer.
Esther and Julia had a fun time playing "American Girl" dolls, they wouldn't let me watch....lol...but they said it was a very fun story plot.

A Burst of Sunshine!

Grandma walked upstairs and I snaped this picture real quick. (note the shoes)

Supprise Party

Last Saturday (March 1st) Grace W. , Ellie S. and I car pooled out to Shudak's house for a supprise party for Miranda! We drove to a gas station close to the Shudaks house, where Liz, Laura and Grace Brown, Maggie Pena, and Brianna were waiting. Mr. and Mrs. Shudak were also there, waiting for us to follow them to the house a back way so Miranda wouldn't see us. When we got to the house we certainly supprised or should I say scared Miranda, but once she recovered she was glad to see us!

Mr. Shudak had an amazing scavenger hunt prepared for us that would take us all over Nebraska City. Not only did we have great fun finding the clues, but we also learned quite a bit of history of Neb. City. Meghan S. and Liz Brown were both on my team. Each team was given a list of things to find and a map of Neb. City. So as we started out at the house (and we only had a hour and a half to find 26 clues and meet back at a local McDonalds, plus two bonus clues) we started to look at the the different information that we had to have and or take a picture of.


Some of the clues were;
-There is a building in Nebraska City that has a 1680 Bible on display. Can you find it? (5points)
-What year did Joy Morton finish this 52 room mansion? (6points)
-Get a picture of someone wearing a gold kings crown. Each picture is worth 2 points.

(I hope you don't mind Liz)
-Somebody parked an old keelboat int the area, can you find it? (8points)

-Nebraska is part of the old west. It should not be that hard to get a picture of a girl ready for a round up.

These are just some of the questions. After we had finished and ordered some pop at McDonalds, we added up the points to see which team was the winner. (drumroll please....)
It was team #2! Which was my team! Great job Liz and Meghan, you were a great team!
When we were finished we decided that a party wouldn't be complete without some shopping. And in a small town who could resist the little shops? Certainly not me!


Miranda looking through the clearence rakes, (the best way to go!)

When we had "shopped till we dropped" or just got hungry enough, we went back to the house where Mrs. Shudak had a wonderful dinner ready! It was so good!! Salad, veggie tray, chicken lasgana, sparkling white grape juice and chips, who could ask for more?

The lovely table!

Miranda opening her gifts.
After she was through Mrs. Shudak brought out the cake! And it wasn't just any cake...it was a Dairy Queen ice cream cake! (My personal favorite)

What a wonderfully sweet way to end the day!!!!

Quick Quote

Dan said to me this morning;
"I thought I was wrong once......but I was mistaken."

What would I do without brothers?

Cute Dress!

Here is one of my recent dresses! I gave it to Caitlin G. She wore it yesterday and looked so cute!!!

Go Roadrunners!!

We got to the gym just in time to hang up the banner and try to find seats! It was soooo crowded!

This was the last home game of the year and we were playing our biggest rivals, "The Omaha Lightning"! It was bound to be a great game. The Junior High started the evening off and lost by a mere three points, the score was 33-36 it was a close game!
The JV played next and they also played a great game and almost won, but lost by three again! Was this to be the pattern of the whole evening? We desperatly hoped not!
The next on the agenda was honouring the Seniors and their parents. So along with our own Roadrunner seniors they also honored the seniors from the Omaha Warrior girls B-ball team. The Seniors from the roadrunners were;
Taylor Coffey
Joe Beasley
Dave Glenn
Each senior would present their mother with a rose and their father with a candy bar!
Abby Beasley did a factasic job of singing the National Anthem! Then what everyone was waiting for....Dan annouced the starting line up and the game began!!!!
It was neck and neck the whole game! Then with a couple seconds left they tied the game and it went into overtime! The knot in my stomach increased!

After a stressful overtime the score was, 69-65! The difference was just 4 points, whew that was to close for comfort!!!!! The crowed erupted in a roar!!! What a wonderful way to end the day!!!
One of the highlights of the evening was seeing Mr. and Mrs. Powers and their darling little Boy Titus! He was totally a Powers!

After three sweet little girls this welcome little bundle came along much to the joy of his father! He was so sweet that everybody wanted to hold him! However when the crowd started to cheer, it was just a little to much for his little ears!

What a wonderful evening!
