Anyway, here are some pictures from the weekend!!! The captions are directly below the pictures. :)
Trying to take a picture of Hobo. As soon as I pointed the camera in his general direction, he was trying to sniff it and wanted to play with it. I thought he was going to eat it!
Since we haven't been up north in forever, we celebrated Birthdays! Dad's was on September 17 and Julie's was on October 1. (Yup, just a little late!) Back when I was younger Grandma and Grandpa Rapp always gave me and the girlies an un-birthday present when it wasn't our birthday's. Just a little something that we could open. I thought that was really cool and despite the girlies being 17 and 15 now, I still do it. Though they are old enough to understand that they don't get presents when it's not their birthdays! Anyway, I got Susan a VERY cute (if I do say so myself!) stuffed Hello Kitty! Isn't she adorable? Susan needs to keep it away from Hobo though....apparently he has a thing for stuffed animals.
Julie opening her presents! She got a book, "Into the Wild", a Barnes and Noble gift card and some scrapbooking supplies. She wanted to do a book for Eli's niece who passed away when she was only a few days old. Later that night we did a few pages! It was a lot of fun!
Julie and the birthday cake! I thought it was so cute and fun!
Eli tried to give me Revenge as a gift! As much as I would have loved taking her home, it just didn't happen. :(
But isn't she just adorable? And she is so sweet and loves to sleep on you!
Revenge and Biscuit eyeing each other.
Apparently I'm an auntie! A cow auntie that is? Perhaps? The little black calf in the center was less than 24 hours old! Awwww, so cute! His mom is the big brown heiffer. The little tan calf to the left is about 2 months old. So very cute!
Eli had Jason show him how to play PackRat. (A Facebook game.) Revenge loved just sitting on him and sleeping.
The best part of the weekend? DAD! He has stopped drinking (again), actually sat and ate supper with us, and spent a bunch of time upstairs talking to us! It was great and he looked amazing! I love it when he doesn't drink. I'm praying that he will stay sober. It makes a world of difference.
Today Mom, the girlies, Eli, Jason and I all went out to eat at the Casino Buffet and boy it was good! Yum. A wonderful treat. One funny part of the meal was teaching everyone that the fortunes from the fortune cookies should always have "in bed" added to the end of them. There were some hilarious ones!
It was a great weekend and I had a fabulous time. Weekends like this make me wish I didn't live so far away from them.

SO glad your weekend was good! Can't wait to see you tomorrow and hear all about it in person! Love ya! :)
I do look pretty kick-butt with my hair like that. I'd look better if my bangs had been straight, though. And Hobo won't eat your camera. He's a little attention whore. He got rubber-banded yesterday. :(. He then ended up getting sick. He didn't just throw up, he exploded. It was impressive, but gross.
