Thank you to everyone that came out to the cabin on Saturday. I had a blast seeing everyone since I am not able to go to the picnic on Sunday. I enjoyed seeing everyone and talking for a few hours. Smitty and Elaine thank you for the steaks and bread. It was all so wonderful. Steph I enjoyed visiting with you. Next time I am in Denver we will have to get together. All the kids had fun. The twins were catching frogs. (ewww) Audrey and Bailey were playing the pool. All the guys stood around the barbeque while Anthony cooked. You know how guys are they are all pitching in someway or another. Sandy and I made grilled corn on our neighbors grill. It was all just a relax evening.
Realized half way up there I had forgot my recipes for my mom to take the next day to give to Janell. I have two of them on my computer here at work. I am going to write the other two. Janell just let me know your email so I can get them sent to you and let me know where to send my money to so that I can receive one this year.
Hope everyone had a great time Sunday I heard it was a decent turn out.

Family Reunion
This weekend is the annual Carson Family Reunion. This is a fun time at least when we were little it was. I haven't been in a few years. I work Sundays so by the time I get up there it is basically over. I think the last time I was at one was right before Aunt Joyce passed away. I have been trying to find out who is all coming to the family reunion. I finally heard last night that Gay, Elaine, Stephanie, Anthony, the twins, Audrey, Bob and Sandy. Anyone else coming Val, Buddy, Ed, George? Come one you guys let me know what is going on. City Girl you better be coming you haven't been back for years!!!!! Actually I think the last time everyone was together was when Marc and LaDawn was here. I won't be making my way up towards the Oakland, Tekamah area until the afternoon on Saturday due to a 10 am baby shower I am attending. Steph call me so we can get together while I am up in that area. Otherwise I hope everyone has a great time at the picnic on Sunday!
Janell I am sending my recipes with my mom we are putting them together on Saturday when I get up to Tekamah. It is looking like about 5 of them.

Bad
I know I have been bad and haven't been doing my blogging like I was. I have been just in a little rut. I have been getting up at 5 am to go to the gym. I come home lay back down for a hour. Then I get up and do my usually routine then off to work. I come home I lay down for about 15 minutes. I do as much prep for dinner that I can. Then its back off to the gym for a half hour. When I come home I drink a bottle of water then take a shower. Oh boy does the shower feel good when you are all yucky! I get out and make dinner after dinner I do my hair. Then I just want to relax. I know there is really no excuse but I am trying to lose this weight and figure you guys would understand that I am at the gym instead of sitting at home in front of the computer. There will be more to come in a bit!

Cancelled
I just got a call a while ago saying the Q cruise got cancelled. What a bummer I was so excited to go on the cruise. Now to figure out what to do instead!
Q Cruise
Tonight I am taking a cruise up the Missouri river with a local radio station Q 98.5. I have done this a few times. Its a blast very nice and relaxing. Tonight the weather is suppose to be awesome that will make it very enjoyable.
Tomorrow Bill is out of town so I am going to do some farmer's market, birthday shopping, and clean house. I love going to the farmer's market I used to go as a kid with my dad to the one in Blair. The one down here doesn't have baked goodies like we used to get from Bernetta in Blair. Oh could she make a sugar cookie. Bailey's birthday is this week she will be turning 8. We are looking into buying her a big girls bike. She is riding Mary's old bike so she deserves her own bike. Bailey's birthday is the same as my late grandma Marie so it is a very special day for all of us. I miss my grandma very much more and more each day. It doesn't get easier!
Sunday I will be working, then watching the Nascar race in Chicago and writing up those recipes for Janell. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Blond Moment....
I have had a total blond moment. I have been trying to figure out what recipes to put into the Carson cookbook. I think I have missed the deadline though! Way to go me! I do have them though Janell I just have to write them up and send them to you. Sorry I haven't got them to you. I have been so wrapped up with work and my neck injury. I will get on it this weekend.

Headaches
Sorry I haven't been blogging to much. I have been having really bad headaches. So I finally after being up almost all night Sunday with one I decide to get some help. Turns out I have strained the muscles between each of my vertabras in my neck and that has been causing these killer headaches. I am getting cracked and iced which seems to help a lot. Hopefully I will be back to normal soon.
Was out sick monday so nothing to exciting happened with me. Today I am working a very long shift to try and make up for yesterday. Then at 7:15 I am getting my hair done and I am excited. Remember I am addicted to having my hair done. Don't know what it will be yet. The fourth I will be spending at my parents annual 4th of July party at there cabin. Bill is still off racing he has been gone since Friday. He will be returning Thursday but only until Saturday afternoon and then he is off again but only for 2 days. Then he is home for 10 days wow what am I going to do with him. Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th.
