What A Week!

Wow...This past week went by so quickly! Tuesday night, Mom and I made a trip to Blair, NE, to support a family friend and priest who's brother died the Friday before. It was very sad, but nice to see how many people from the Blair community came to support this man at the Wake/Rosary. Then on Wednesday, Mom and I went to CanFest 2007! CanFest is a pro-bono concert that The Kat (a local country radio station) has held for the past 5 years! I don't think Mom and I have missed a show yet! The concert raises money and canned food for the Omaha Food Bank. The artists we saw this year included: Lee Brice, Carolina Rain, & Hal Ketchum.

Lee Brice - Carolina Rain - Hal Ketchum


Friday came...Lou & I went and had game night with some friends and had a wonderful time! When I finally got home, mom, Addison and Olivia were there waiting for me. Actually, Addison and Olivia were asleep...but you know they were dreaming about their favorite Aunt Bubba!!!! Saturday we had fun at home - dancing to "the pirate songs," coloring, and just goofing around having girl time! Eventually we made our way to Wal-Mart, just to pick up some pictures...who knew you could go trick-or-treating at Wal-Mart?! Well, Addison did really well dressed as "a little girl in jeans" and made off with a good sized bag of candy! Kerry finally arrived in Omaha after working in Hastings for a few hours, and about 2 hours later we finally left Wal-Mart! I took the girls home to take a nap and Kerry & Grammy went to the Mall. We all then went out for dinner once everyone was home and awake!



Once Sunday arrived, we again spent some time at home with Kerry, Grammy and the girls...we just played and giggled a lot! Then Kerry had to go to work at the UNO College Fair to represent Hastings College! Grammy, Bubba, Addison and Olivia went to Noon Mass at St. Wenceslaus where Addison go to help Grammy teach the adults in the RCIA group. Addison was such a good girl, she sat and read books quietly to her stuffed bunny! After church we picked up lunch at "Donald's" and went to the Omaha Zoo! They were having a Trick-or-Treat event at the zoo, where kids can come dressed in their halloween costumes and trick-or-treat around the zoo! Lou met us there and we all had a great time!!!!


After the afternoon at the zoo, it was time to go home. I was going to leave with Lou to spend some time with him and to go to see Carlos Mencia!!! Addison, DID NOT like the idea of me not going home with her and she let me know it. My heart broke when I saw the tears and heard the sobs...my little squirt...I love you so much and didn't want to hurt you. I finally got back to Lou, only to have Addison call me to talk to me on her way back to my house. I think by the time we hung up the phone she finally stopped crying - at least for the time... Lou and I had such a great time at the comedy performance! Carlos Mencia was wonderful! I can't tell you the last time I've laughed so hard for 2 hours straight at a live comedy performance! I'm really glad I surprised Lou with the opportunity to go! I took the picture below of Carlos, only to have the guy who is partly cut off on the left side, tell me I wasn't allowed to take the picture...see, they are selling pictures with Carlos...OPPS! Oh well!!!

What a week...it's Monday now and a new week begins! Hmmm, wonder what this week will hold!?!

You certainly are the favorite Aunt Bubba :-) No one can deny that!! You seem to have so much fun with your nieces and nephew and they are so blessed to have you in their live as well. Everyone's blogs look great. Cassandra, I like the little slide show at the end, way cool.
