On day one we cleaned a lot and made a watercolor noise maker. Rhea painted with watercolors on paper plates then after they dried and Rhea took her nap we filled paper plates with rice and stapled them together. It was a lot of fun.<br /><br />Tuesday was full of fun. Rhea got to spend some time with Danny while I got to go to the dentist to have a root canal done. I get to go back in two weeks to finish it up :(<br /><br />Then it was off the hospital where my sister had a c section at 8:54am and gave birth to her fourth child. Rhea thinks he is pretty cool. To add to the fun of the day one of my best friends was also in yesterday at 1:30 to the same hospital to have also c section with her second child. Rhea also thinks she is pretty cool.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpNhrXG5rIiFWAFAlSPFy_crQAhakv6fYHp5omRkFwnnNOzTxe57hMGkHXLHY_t-b05a6sj2JcMjFFKIpk-rDhf2QcpAX5W6GNNNan4eJrnL-OOlwLXNWGdRZiEIFxu-hzdiKwSgGiZWM/s1600-h/DSC01880.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpNhrXG5rIiFWAFAlSPFy_crQAhakv6fYHp5omRkFwnnNOzTxe57hMGkHXLHY_t-b05a6sj2JcMjFFKIpk-rDhf2QcpAX5W6GNNNan4eJrnL-OOlwLXNWGdRZiEIFxu-hzdiKwSgGiZWM/s320/DSC01880.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358475798550828658" border="0" /></a>Remy John my newest nephew<br /><br /></div>Wednesday Rhea and I went shopping for a bit then go to the hospital to visit the new babies!!!

Thursday night we had a very sever thunder storm that took out many trees and power lines all over Waterloo and Cedar Falls. Rumor has it that winds hit 100 mph. I was up at 3:30am pacing the floor trying to decide if I should wake up Carl and Rhea. Carl got woke up by the storm and stayed up until is passed then we all went back to sleep.<br /><br />Friday was a busy day for me. I love to cook and I did a full day of it. I made mini blueberry muffins, garlic beer bread and brownies to take out of town with us this weekend. I also made chicken and rice for lunch and homemade lasagna for supper. Both of these we request by Carl since he was racing both Sat and Sun in Clear Lake. He did a great job and I am very proud of him. If you would like a race report you can find that on Carls blog.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14696708978656789728noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603401734928026316.post-16914359880706653082009-07-03T06:40:00.003-05:002009-07-03T06:45:34.798-05:00Happy Birthday Carl!<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">H</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">a</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">p</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">p</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">y</span> <span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">B</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">i</span><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"></span></span><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">r<span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);">t</span></span></span><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);">h</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">d</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">a</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">y</span>!!</span><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5AvqQ8s5U_BJwNpnIG-TETEGRuZJx_3159BBCq4fkFSrUCJXZItzIDI9W91gbzLNKMsSo7Kgj6Jx1BqQAVGQrpM1vVjAxr23rRBlyWP8zqlG16YD_ZdJ-4ATp6cuvOUotTV3dcaWqy4A/s1600-h/DSC01854.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 360px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5AvqQ8s5U_BJwNpnIG-TETEGRuZJx_3159BBCq4fkFSrUCJXZItzIDI9W91gbzLNKMsSo7Kgj6Jx1BqQAVGQrpM1vVjAxr23rRBlyWP8zqlG16YD_ZdJ-4ATp6cuvOUotTV3dcaWqy4A/s400/DSC01854.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354198159519455986" border="0" /></a>Carl a few years back.

We spent one morning going to a local Scottsdale park called "McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park". They have a little train that you can ride around the park and a carousel that Rhea just called the "horsies". It does not cost anything to go into the park, but you do buy tickets to ride the train and carousel. The tickets were only $1 each or 12 for $10. So we did not have to spend a lot of money and it was fun for all of us.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizM50r7vZd6ip-crtJsW5r8zoo9VdFMo6UkqOEonbcDf1D17wKxsBzfUmkiMl2rId8JReyL8lSDw6mcRE0-qIJ-G4dPE64fade2sspGEw8hTDQzZyCx-8KpDIVOds67N9h675jUsDFN3Y/s1600-h/DSC01785.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizM50r7vZd6ip-crtJsW5r8zoo9VdFMo6UkqOEonbcDf1D17wKxsBzfUmkiMl2rId8JReyL8lSDw6mcRE0-qIJ-G4dPE64fade2sspGEw8hTDQzZyCx-8KpDIVOds67N9h675jUsDFN3Y/s400/DSC01785.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353290533044916546" border="0" /></a>Carl and I on the Train<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIFr_NYFMzAHhA6A4pNj2GAYLcFxQoBO-rO8ta5QBrhKRA9abmXX6oTa2NjkYgdtYuzYzaJw2cOsF2zallBpwgqQJL7lozCFnNDujm9WYLqHfl2f7qKFortzHIhco32Jmi9Wz_Nqa7nmU/s1600-h/DSC01784.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIFr_NYFMzAHhA6A4pNj2GAYLcFxQoBO-rO8ta5QBrhKRA9abmXX6oTa2NjkYgdtYuzYzaJw2cOsF2zallBpwgqQJL7lozCFnNDujm9WYLqHfl2f7qKFortzHIhco32Jmi9Wz_Nqa7nmU/s400/DSC01784.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353291502936852370" border="0" /></a>Rhea and her Papa on the train<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9tk9CgF8x29th-QeWW24pztFGlKDAt5HITEEKb3gXb8WJliUaZEVBhX5S70QP2BxtSG9Te5ueJ16bfu_6ZDkyfta7SbSUKy73bhWmcl-DUpqF7SxJKvvS3Kv04MFXbP5qpUCAUWk4hCs/s1600-h/DSC01792.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9tk9CgF8x29th-QeWW24pztFGlKDAt5HITEEKb3gXb8WJliUaZEVBhX5S70QP2BxtSG9Te5ueJ16bfu_6ZDkyfta7SbSUKy73bhWmcl-DUpqF7SxJKvvS3Kv04MFXbP5qpUCAUWk4hCs/s400/DSC01792.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353291334385404082" border="0" /></a>Rhea and her Daddy (Carl)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">This was Fathers day weekend so I found it only fitting to get a great picture of the two of them together.

When Carl, Rhea and I were getting off the carousel for the last time I saw the man in front of me collapse on the concrete and Carl heard the sound of his head hitting the ground. Carl immediately ran over to the guy and his friend and started to get help. The end result was an ambulance and firetruck being called to the park. As we were leaving the park for the morning the firemen were just getting into the truck and wanted to know if Rhea wanted to see the inside. She said "yes" and they also gave her a little red fire hat and sticker so she thought she was pretty cool. I am still not sure if they knew Carl was the one to help the guy or if it was just luck of timing when we walked out but either way Rhea thought it was pretty neat.<br /><br />The next and final picture of this post is a great picture that I took of all four generations that was at Grandpas house that day. What a priceless picture to me!<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTcmxIqogGlqJ5lPbpDoFtA_ZESP4_wh1NdYizkeIbUsWUHkF1sY53hUcWCzhjU4SYrajY3NczaoJHwaOY2U8gFIPJxc2aax39nYZrvE3LdnhTw_S1rTPlsfDZskNM-ZVnH0e438LN1RY/s1600-h/DSC01815.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTcmxIqogGlqJ5lPbpDoFtA_ZESP4_wh1NdYizkeIbUsWUHkF1sY53hUcWCzhjU4SYrajY3NczaoJHwaOY2U8gFIPJxc2aax39nYZrvE3LdnhTw_S1rTPlsfDZskNM-ZVnH0e438LN1RY/s400/DSC01815.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353292033085723106" border="0" /></a>I call this one "Generations"<br />Carl, Paul, Rhea & Ron</div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14696708978656789728noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603401734928026316.post-69886392944720817342009-06-27T15:04:00.000-05:002009-06-27T15:06:11.949-05:00Happy BirthdayHappy Birthday to a great man...

I will have to post a picture of the new tattoo soon because I have not taken one yet and Carl has not posted it to his own blog yet.<br /><br />As for the trip we flew out of Cedar Rapids on Thursday. It did not rain until we were inside the airport but as soon as we were inside the skies let loose. Funny thing is that it did not rain the entire time we were there but as soon as the plane started to descend to Cedar Rapids on the way home it was raining again. Go figure.<br /><br />We ate lots of great food this time. The first night found us at a brewery called BJ's in Mesa and I had a pot roast sandwich. It was yummy...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhauB6fs0WRbgyZzYTQr7YbRuDwzo89-oA6FMjydo-MXnvnCYrgpqwz5E6l4QNVmmfWx1xF_4bM7a0ULi5aivy8bkRx1I9ds8_sXGWJK1q7alw88D0bTA0UrrRq6nek7QBDli-GPqMP-sg/s1600-h/DSC01760.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhauB6fs0WRbgyZzYTQr7YbRuDwzo89-oA6FMjydo-MXnvnCYrgpqwz5E6l4QNVmmfWx1xF_4bM7a0ULi5aivy8bkRx1I9ds8_sXGWJK1q7alw88D0bTA0UrrRq6nek7QBDli-GPqMP-sg/s400/DSC01760.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350346941108680562" border="0" /></a>Yummy Food<br />(Picture for Paul.

The Buchanan side of the family has had their family reunion on that weekend for many years. We have been to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Moab</span> UT, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Branson</span> MO, Waterloo IA and this year it is in Flag Staff AZ. <br /><br />We will not be going to Flag Staff, but we will be going to AZ. We are making a slightly different trip to Mesa where Carl's grandpa Ron lives to spend a long weekend with him and many other family members that live in the area. <br /><br />Rhea is very excited to go on the airplane. I think she put her shoes on five times tonight and wanted to know if it was time to see Izzy (which is Rhea talk for Susie) and Andrew? When I explained to her that we were not going until after she slept for the night she would start crying big crocodile tears and want to go now. I think she is a little excited!!!!!<br /><br />This weekend is also very special because it is fathers day. I am fortunate enough to have a great Dad, great Father-in-Law and fantastic Hubby (who is the father of my sweet dear Rhea) in my life. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Happy Father's Day</span> to all three of these Dads in my life. <br /><br />Even though Rhea is not old enough to type she wanted me to also put <span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-weight: bold;">"Happy Father's Day Daddy. You are the best daddy anyone girl could ask for"</span> to Carl. From the sounds of it I think she likes him!<br /><br />Have a great weekend and I will post some new pics soon!Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14696708978656789728noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603401734928026316.post-10598571664302303052009-06-12T21:03:00.003-05:002009-06-12T21:15:57.035-05:00I have not updated for a long time...We have had a busy month since we got back from AZ. Rhea had strep again toward the end of May. Almost one month after the first time :( <br /><br />We got to visit with Carl's cousin Tara from California. It was a great visit and she and her little guy were fun!!! Some great news is that we get to go back to AZ very soon to visit family again! I am planning to make walking tacos one night while we are there for Carl's aunt who has not had them before! Yum Yum! Look forward to some new pictures very soon of our trip.<br /><br />We also booked a week trip to the beach in Florida this fall. I can hardly wait!<br /><br />I got the privileged of serving on jury duty this week. The selection process took half a day and then after being chosen as one of the lucky 13 (12 + an alternate) we were dismissed for the day. Carl told me "Congratulations"! "Thanks Honey!" I had to report at 9am the next morning only to find out shortly after 930 that the person decided to settle out of court. I have to admit I was disappointed since I had been picked I was going to make the most of the experience. I am glad I did not have to decide his fate or spend a lot of time in the Court House. I do not have a lot of experience with the law in my life's past, so it was interesting to see the process.<br /><br />I think that is all for now. I will try to be better at updating.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14696708978656789728noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603401734928026316.post-14011301648467067622009-05-11T20:13:00.008-05:002009-05-11T20:26:41.803-05:00Trip to ArizonaI made my very first trip ever to Arizona last week and I cannot wait to go back. It was my first plane ride in 20 years and Rhea's first plane ride ever. Rhea did better than me :) The weather was nice at 95 degrees and no humidity. We got to do some fun stuff and visit some family. I was a great visit!

This will be the first time that Rhea has been on an airplane and she seems pretty excited about it. This morning she told us that she wants to drive the plane so I told her that we'll get her on a path to send her to the Air Force Academy when the time comes. I am hoping that she has a blast flying because I love it especially on a clear day like today. <br /><br />We'll return to Iowa on Tuesday afternoon, hopefully with some cool pictures of the desert.Carl Buchananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03542299211184986399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603401734928026316.post-82097577424750675202009-04-05T20:52:00.008-05:002009-04-15T21:33:01.190-05:00Easter Egg funThe family boiled eggs and had some fun last Saturday.

Rhea got her very first hair cut at Mane Street Hair Co in Waverly. Thank you Stacy for doing it!<br /><br />Rhea did better than both Carl and I thought she would do. She sat in the chair all by herself like a big girl and sat very still.

She loves to slide and swing. She can do it for hours. Well I did not get a single call so I tried again this spring and I received two phone calls. This worked out great. There was a couple moving into a house in Cedar Falls and they did not want the swing set that was in the back yard. So after taking a look at it we knew we wanted it.<br /><br />Rhea now wakes up everyday and from naps and has to look out her window at "Her Park". She calls it "My Park" so much that Carl and I even refer to it as Rhea's park. Probably one of the best purchases I have made yet!!!<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKpAuPzbsTohhMvaDC68MOeetpVY_2PfI5uCg0C-Ub0oOM0Rb2DCL9rfkPv5A7GGW8AGPb8rLa2XgK8rgBtnVkSvb7iKdhcRCj9sXbY2FApL9cdkVoevALwq3POdSwD5z89qN2v8QRXuc/s1600-h/DSC07531.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKpAuPzbsTohhMvaDC68MOeetpVY_2PfI5uCg0C-Ub0oOM0Rb2DCL9rfkPv5A7GGW8AGPb8rLa2XgK8rgBtnVkSvb7iKdhcRCj9sXbY2FApL9cdkVoevALwq3POdSwD5z89qN2v8QRXuc/s400/DSC07531.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321386760698660898" border="0" /></a>The Swing Set<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF2vK7u0VWRFUK0jBifnjKa1kT3a8ZrZQKPRHb1PFXITPupIZwVF3XPqZ6Z8szKFPeXLWLiSq694_xOdkdnaVn6qlGLOJZKuH-q3i2lqe04uHYBxsnkNMbRtKegFfYL5pGhc5ueUe7CEA/s1600-h/Photo_032309_001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF2vK7u0VWRFUK0jBifnjKa1kT3a8ZrZQKPRHb1PFXITPupIZwVF3XPqZ6Z8szKFPeXLWLiSq694_xOdkdnaVn6qlGLOJZKuH-q3i2lqe04uHYBxsnkNMbRtKegFfYL5pGhc5ueUe7CEA/s400/Photo_032309_001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321387009908127250" border="0" /></a>Rhea showing us that she can climb!<br /><br /></div><img src="file:///C:/Users/Buchanan/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-3.jpg" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/Users/Buchanan/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-4.jpg" alt="" />Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14696708978656789728noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603401734928026316.post-83487332598573061882009-03-01T11:42:00.003-06:002009-03-02T20:12:35.144-06:00Random Rhea PostI have not gotten to post pictures of my favorite subject lately.

I only have about five minutes to type because daycare called and Rhea has pink eye. So I am spending every second following her around with Lysol and spaying down everything she touches. I only found this few minutes because I have her just sitting down to eat a snack. I will post pictures of the new floor very soon. Thanks Carl it looks great.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14696708978656789728noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603401734928026316.post-3728855388148990792009-01-10T18:15:00.005-06:002009-01-10T18:24:12.348-06:00Snow FunWe seem to have a lot of snow this year so I decided it was time to get Rhea some snow pants. We got a great deal at Goodwill. Then when we got home Rhea, Daddy and myself all went outside to do some sledding.<br />Rhea did not like the sledding as much as we remembered from last year so we decided to take a walk down to Grandma and Papa's. She was not excited to walk in the snow until Carl showed her to do it like a monster and say "Roar" with each step.<br />We realized one thing on our walk. Rhea will probably follow in the Buchanan family footsteps and play hockey some day. When ever we were on snow she would walk very slow and take baby steps BUT the minute she was on ice she was off and running. Daddy and I would both ask her to slow down but she kept right on moving.<br /><br />Here are a few pics from out venture...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSxAq9OEPbee669g_jkyKmOAQkNAkOH2_pMLfyKvrpmA0Up3hJA9o7bcmouPvZNrfa9JBcFdQY7h2m1Frx2XjDBTtjH7HJlrp2XGZlvQ0nOdSYFSBqhy4KPMZ88KWURvUsc97_7kCHCyY/s1600-h/DSC07215.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSxAq9OEPbee669g_jkyKmOAQkNAkOH2_pMLfyKvrpmA0Up3hJA9o7bcmouPvZNrfa9JBcFdQY7h2m1Frx2XjDBTtjH7HJlrp2XGZlvQ0nOdSYFSBqhy4KPMZ88KWURvUsc97_7kCHCyY/s400/DSC07215.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289824257423706002" border="0" /></a>Headed out the Door<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-1NqvEGtLzcI_u6xZjS2ExT6X2kJicm3MSqeXlScY2KH37ADOOGWMVvOv8dr6WVk-n-iaHFcCXO1z5BAq5Ep8IL3v35O-jNa50uzVETCI5c2PTFGUehFpS5vajxhyphenhyphenahpjS4oJr4zZRDM/s1600-h/DSC01569.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-1NqvEGtLzcI_u6xZjS2ExT6X2kJicm3MSqeXlScY2KH37ADOOGWMVvOv8dr6WVk-n-iaHFcCXO1z5BAq5Ep8IL3v35O-jNa50uzVETCI5c2PTFGUehFpS5vajxhyphenhyphenahpjS4oJr4zZRDM/s400/DSC01569.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289824466356555874" border="0" /></a>Rhea's sled is getting a bit small.

Hopefully you have been good this year so Santa can bring you everything you have wished for. If not at this point its probably better to start fresh for next year.<br /><br />We have many celebrations to attend over the next couple days so I should have pictures to post soon.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Happy</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">Holidays</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">from</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">The</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Buchanan's</span>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14696708978656789728noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603401734928026316.post-39673381079507271642008-12-21T21:24:00.002-06:002008-12-21T21:35:22.487-06:00Not much going these days<span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 0);">Life has been very busy with Rhea's birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Jennie's Wedding. Not that it has slowed down any because with all of the things listed above I did not get prepared much for the holidays that will come this week. I have spent the last two weeks baking, shopping and getting holiday cards ready. I just sent my last handful of cards today (Sunday) in the mail. Sorry to anyone who gets them late. I will try to be more on top of things next year. I have only got one last present to get. Then I can check that off my list of "To Do" items.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 0);">I did get to go out to dinner last night for an early birthday dinner. My sister, Chris, Stacy, Ryan, Carl and myself all went to a restaurant in Waterloo named Tokyo. Due to the blowing snow two of our good friends Bill and Nicole were unable to make it, but we will catch up with them another time. For most of us it was our first time to Tokyo. It was a lot of fun and I really liked the food. It was pricey but you do get a good show when they cook the meal in front of you. I did not leave hungry. I would go back again but it would not be a weekly place to eat just because of the cost.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 0);">We have a busy week with Christmas eve and Christmas day being spent running from one families house to another and then Sunday is my Birthday. Plus the next week is the new year, but we really do not have big plans.</span>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14696708978656789728noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603401734928026316.post-89822367405076337242008-12-09T08:07:00.011-06:002008-12-09T08:22:17.395-06:00Pics of Jennie's Big DayIt was a very busy fun day on Saturday. I started the day at 7:30am going to Waverly to get my hair done and ended the night at 10:45 putting Rhea's PJ's on in the car so that she could fall a sleep on the way home from the reception.<br /><br />The wedding was at Bethlehem Lutheran Church on Hudson Rd in Cedar Falls and the reception was at the 4H building in Waverly. I think everyone involved had a blast! Here are some pics to show part of the evening.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyLY4EC4xoe1Z_DBplFvFxLC2x8FF9XvTOto7Ber49Bc5Eb8EHqOr6iMPa43JKv8FXBwZa9EYIbVrkmEVgiiV4Ld7q18afsCZZeNgQ6Jed1Qw8vYeGRhA0Zv9L0eegMojXBYxiyopI0JA/s1600-h/Family+Pic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
