Weekend Report

This past weekend I had 3 days off!  It was a busy, but good weekend.  On Friday I went to my Dad's to set up his pills.  He's doing very well, but is on so many pills that it's hard to keep track of.  Laura met me there with the girls and we had lunch together.  Ruby seems to be improving in the area of being scared, and she even let Great Grandpa and Great Grandma hold her.  Here's  a few pictures of our time there.

Great-Grandpa and his girls.  (This made his day!)

Great-Grandpa let Alaina pick some of his flowers.  Laura went with her to help.

My stepmom loves kids.  She and Alaina did lots of walking and playing.

Don't you just love Ruby's hair?  Laura used to have that same style, it just won't lay down.

Friday night we went and spent some time with Bob's mom and had a very nice time.  I neglected to take any pictures though!

Saturday I helped give a bridal shower for a friends daughter-in-law to be.  I'll share more about that tomorrow.

Sunday we had a great service in church.  Aaron, Laura, Alaina and Ruby surprised me by showing up at our church.  They, along with  Heather and Andrew all came over at night.  I also had a phone call from Andy in Kentucky.

 The kids like to play with Aunt Heather.

 Alaina loves to tease Bob.

 These flowers from Laura and Aaron are very pretty, and hopefully I can keep them alive.  I was given some other nice gifts too, that I'm looking forward to using.

 I got such nice cards, but I have to say the best one was made by Alaina.  :)

It was a very nice weekend.  Having Sunday off and being able to go to church, and seeing friends and family is the best!

Cooking Thursday

Today's post is kind of a recipe and product review too.  I saw a product from Campbells, called Slow Cooker Sauces in the store and decided to try it.  I use my slow cooker frequently, and I figured this would make a good supper on one of the nights I worked late.

I bought the Hawaiian Luau since I had a pork roast in the freezer.  It was so easy - just pour the sauce over the roast and let it cook!  It had a nice sweet and sour type flavor; the package says with pineapple, mango and green pepper.  I wish those things were a little bigger pieces, because when it's done cooking everything just looked the same.  It was good though, very easy and the sauce only cost $2.
