Busy Week

What a busy week.....here is a re-cap of things that happened at our house this last week.....First of all...John and Derek have been taking the truck apart doing some mechanical work and preparing for body work.....

Here is Derek putting the drive shaft back in the truck....Then, Ieshia wasn't feeling well so I had to take her to the Dr...seems she had an ear infection, and sore throat and a few allergies....

In spite of being sick,the very next day, she competed in the solo/ensemble competition for her school and got first place on both her solo and duet!!! Here she is with her two first place ribbons...

.An awesome job Ieshia!! That was on Saturday morning, on Saturday night she competed at Abingdon Idol...What an awesome job she did! Everyone stood up when she started to sing and whistled and clapped! I was soo very proud of her! Even though she didn't win a trophy, she won the heart of everyone in the audience! On the way out, everyone stopped us and said "Ieshia was so good she should have won!" Another exciting thing happened this week, Ieshia met her biological father for the first time since she was about 10 months old....She was nervous, but her was a very nice man....

Emily enjoyed watching the chocolate chip cookies bake and also played with her kitten, Brady..

Another week....

Well, another week in the Keller house has past.....to start the week, Mom asked if me if I wanted to go with her and Grandma to Galesburg and go shopping and out to lunch.....Here I am with Grandma, It looks like I went to help....hahaHere is Grandma at the craft mall....Here is Mom and Grandma going to the mall.....

Crystal was here spending time with us....

Derek got new tubes for his wagon tires....

The kids got a new trampoline and they just love it, especially Emily.....

Warmer Weather....

We have had nice weather these last few days! I'm so hyped about spring, gardens, flowers, bike rides and etc.... I can't wait to get out of this cold rainy weather that preceeds spring....It's starting to change but very slowly!
We have been active as usual this last week or so and here are a few pictures to catch you up.....Derek, Emily, and I spent some fun time together shopping and of course we had to go to their favotite place , McDonalds...

We rode with John on a call to fix a car (One of many that he does during a week)....This time it was in the country and Derek and Emily took a nice little walk in the fresh air....Emily spent time on the laptop playing with her webkins after her shower one night........And the last few pictures are of some of our pets who are growing so fast!! We Love our pets!!!

WOW.....

I have been so busy these last few weeks, tonight I thought i'd better take time to post on my blog...At least something for Teri so she has something new to look at in the morning.....hahaha I have a few pics that I haven't put on yet from when Mom, Sheri, Sharayah and I went to the Olive Garden for lunch....

We have also had a lot of rain lately ....

All of the ditches around our house are overflowing with water....Here are pics of Derek and Emily when I picked them up from school today....

John got a good deal this week on a truck....he traded buying a few parts and some of his time to fix someones' truck and he made out like a bandit and got a truck in trade for himself...here are a few pics of the truck he got...it ended up costing him $135.00 and some of his mechanical talent

It's not perfect and it needs a few things but he is happy with it!!

Good Times...

I haven't posted for awhile cause I've been running around with Mom and Sheri everyday.....We have had a lot of fun this week eating out, shopping, going to the movies, and spending good times together! Here are some random pics from this week.....I was picking Mom and Sheri up one day.....
Mom enjoying her ice cold diet coke at Applebees...Me and Sheri enjoying being squashed on one side of the booth while Mom has the other side to herself....hahaThe wonderful Baked potato with bacon soup I had at applebees...Mom looks more like herself these days than she has in the last few months...
