Our Weekly Snapshot

 Here’s a look back at our week: 

We picked Nate up from Staff Training on Saturday morning.  He had a great time! 
Then we attended an Open house for ones of the teens from our church. 

On Sunday we visited my in-Laws.  Charlie was teaching Nate how to cut a watermelon. 

Darryl was teaching his mom how to grill great chicken. 






Grandpa and Grandma have a golf cart which Josh and Nate love to drive.  I even got to go on a ride.  





Josh snd Nate are at Worship Camp this week.  Josh is attending as a camper but is also volunteering as a drum instructor.  Nate is enjoying the week as a camper. 
We’ve had lots of rain, storms, and hail this week.  I was sitting in my vehicle on Tuesday and caught this rainbow as the hail fell all around. 
Look who showed up at the Hospital gift shop WITH a coffee from Sozos!  Ken and Kel arrived at my moms on Wednesday evening.  My mom knew Ken was coming but Kel was a surprise! 



Fun all week at Worship Camp. 




Fun with 2 of my brothers! 




The concert at Worship Camp

I tried to add a video of one of their songs but it’s not working at the moment. 🤷‍♀️

Weekly Menu

 As I mentioned last week, my brother Ken will be here around this time (not sure of the exact dates yet).  So, I will plan my menu with knowing that some days we will be at my mom's enjoying time with Ken.



Here's the plan

Friday (6/19) - The boys have a Worship concert tonight so they eat at camp.  Darryl and I will grab something. 

Saturday (6/20) - this is up in the air as everyone is going different directions; I’m not sure when or where we will all land by dinner! 

Sunday (6/21) - It's Father's Day!  And my brother will be here!  So maybe we can do steaks on the grill or something on the grill. 

Monday (6/22) - I know we will eat at home as I have choir practice.  Zuppa Soup and bread is the plan 

Tuesday (6/23) - Josh and Nate have Bible Study so I’m not sure on dinner - maybe the adults will eat together🤷‍♀️

Wednesday (6/24) - my freezer and cupboards are full so I’ll pick based in plans and who is home!  

Thursday (6/25) - Dinner at my mom’s with Ken before he heads out on Friday.

Our weekly snapshot

 Here’s a look back at our week: 

Nate went to a bonfire on Saturday evening with friends. 
On Sunday everyone attended my choir concert. 

And Nate headed to a week of staff training. 




A few grainy screenshots that show Nate ha!  At least I know he’s alive! 🤣

Josh had friends over Friday to hang out and they cooked their own burgers for dinner. 

Then head to group shot of Staff — can you find Nate? And why does he look like he’s 25? 😭🤪

Weekly Menu

 This next week Josh and Nate will be gone during the day at Worship Camp.  They really enjoy this week of creating music with friends; it is a little hard to fathom that this is Josh's last year as a camper.  It is the first of the "last" things for him as he is now a Senior!  



Here's the plan: 

Friday (6/12) - Amish Chicken, mashed potatoes and roasted veggies 

Saturday (6/13) - We have to pick Nate up from a week of camp, attend an Open House for Lunch plus some running in the afternoon for Josh as he has a staff meeting for camp.  Dinner - I’m leaning towards tacos because it’s easy! 

Sunday (6/14) - We are heading to my in-laws for the day. 

Monday (6/15) - Chick-Fa-Lay Nuggets (homemade) and Fries

Tuesday (6/16) - I “think” it’s just Darryl and I as the boys have Bible Study after worship camp.  So we might grab something easy. 

Wednesday (6/17) - Slow Cooker Zuppa and Bread

Thursday - 6/18) - Pork loin and fried rice


A side note - my brother, Ken, is coming up for a visit some time around now - I just don't have exact dates so this menu may change!

Nate hung out with friends and we all got to enjoy Morley’s birthday cake. 😊

It was a great week!
