Tagged!

I've been tagged by Heidi!


The Rules:
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Here we go...

1. I'm reluctant to get up if Lycan or Zeva is on my lap or snuggling with me because I don't want to disturb them. Even if I have to go to the bathroom, I will hold it for as long as possible!

2. I must have 2 alarms to ensure that I am up for class. My actual alarm clock and my phone. And they are both set so that I can hit snooze for 15-20 minutes before I actually have to be up...(can you tell if I'm a morning person?)

3. I have never been able to start any type of lawn equiptment that has a pull start! Grrrrrrr!

4. I always need a fan running when I go to sleep. Even if it's -30 outside, I have to have the noise.

5. I can't eat yogurt that's within a week from expiring.

6. I prefer canned green beans over frozen or fresh.

7. I have a bad habit of forgetting clothes in the washer...and with our water here, they start getting stinky within several hours...

8. I always let Jon open presents way before whatever holiday they might be for because Im excited and then he only has like one left for the actual holiday, so I fell bad and get him something else so he'll have more to open on the actual day...


I'm tagging Angel and Tim because they are the only other bloggers I know.

A wedding and a baby

This past weekend i went home for Stacy Ogleby's wedding. It was a casual Hawaiian-style ceremony held in her parents back yard by the lily pond. It was really beautiful. All the wedding party had cordinating hawaiian attire. She is now Stacy Ruggerio. Her husbands name is Eddie and I have already forgotten what his daughter's name is. She is three and was their flower girl.

She was hugging his leg during the ceremony and said that she was marrying her daddy! It was cute.

The little girl in the white dress with pink sash is eddie's daughter.

Grandma had a dinner on Sunday and I ended up going to church with Grandma, Erin and Tryon. It was a nice service.

All the Ferdinand girls were there with their significant others. Only one missing was Cory, who was busy with all the livestock from the fair.

Kristen is showing and makes such a cute little pregnant wife!

And little Rowdy is so adorable! He's grown so much since I seen him last!

It was really wonderful to see all of them again!
Have a great summer!

A quick road trip

Jon had to go to the Reinke Manufacturing Plant in Dreshler, Nebraska to pick up a couple of parts for a swing-arm irrigation system they are putting up. So Jon swung by the house friday

night and picked me up and we were on our way. We stayed over night in Concordia and headed into Nebraska saturday morning.

The corn fields were beautiful!

We spotted a huge beautiful field of sunflowers so we had to stop for one more picture.

It was a quick trip but it was really nice too.

We really enjoy traveling to new places, even if is just for short time.

Hope you all have a wonderful summer!

Summer so far...

Yea! summer semester is finished! Very time consuming and fast paced, but it went well. I'm sure that Fall will fly by as well!

Angel, Hannah and Nathan came for a visit and it was wonderful to see them! We went to the park and played a lot. They had lots of fun riding the bike we found at a garage sale. We also had fun getting crazy with Barbies- Ken's got some hot dance moves. :)

Jon and the kids got here Friday night and was a little bit awkward but not for long. For the most part I think they had a great time together. when angel, hannah and nathan left for Karen's after lunch Sunday, Harley and Haleigh wanted to go with them. Maybe we will all make a trip there way someday.

Nathan's legos were a hit with the boys!

ALL the boys... :)






Our cats were absolutely THRILLED to have a house full of kids...

Zeva was nice- let them pet her and follow her around. She was in heat so she mainly just flopped around all over the floor and was so noisy at night we had to lock her up in our bedroom at night.

Lycan, on the other hand, was a mean grouch. When she wasn't growling and hissing, she was hiding...

Harley lost his first tooth when Angel, Hannah and Nathan were here. He was pretty psyched!
When they were here this past weekend, he had lost a second one. the tooth right beside it.








This is a awesome picture that Jon took of a tree that is growing back in the midst of the tornado destruction by Macksville.

It is awesome the ways God shows himself.
He is always with us even in our worst moments. In the midst of tragedy...he is there.


We went to help Karen move in to her new apartment last weekend. It's really cute! Jon's favorite part-she has a garage. It was new flooring, fresh paint new doors and everything. It's really nice and I can't wait to see it once she gets everything unpacked. We are hopefully going back up there on the 18th of August for the school bus races!

We will be in admire for Stacy Ogleby's wedding on the 10th!

I think that i will cut off here, hope you all have a wonderful summer and hopefully we may see you before Fall semester starts back up!
