Blessed Funday Sunday.

 Another Sunday. These summer weeks are just flying by. We got up at 5:00 am had a couple cups of coffee then got to work on food prep for tonight's dinner. 7 pounds of chicken breasts were cut up into squares, dribbled with olive oil and sprinkled with parmesan cheese then covered and refridgerated. Next was the cutting up of the green, yellow, red and orange peppers. The peppers got the same treatment as the chicken.  Breakfast was made before heading  out to tease. Whisky is now out.  Joan picked up Mark for church and they went to the early singing. I picked up mom and we got there about 9:40 am.  Mike Kaisner had the first service. Dale and Cindy Endress provided a very nice lunch. Tim Roecker had the second.  David and Stephanie were in Leo church and David had the morning service there. 

 After church the rest of the meal prep started with the roasting of the new potatoes in some garlic, pepper, season salt and olive oil. That was roasted for 30 minutes at 400 degrees then put in the crock pot. The onions were cut up and prepared the same way as the chicken and peppers. Mark was going to start grilling the chicken but ended up working on the Keystone trailer. The people that brought it back yesterday had done some damage and the trailer is going out tomorrow. Instead of waiting for him to grill I just stir fried the chicken and when Mark got back he grilled the vegetables. We had 2 families missing tonight for dinner but still had a house full with Ben and Taunya's family,  Rhoda and Lee's family, Sarah and Nolan's family and Taunya's dad. Dinner turned out very good. We all headed over to the playground after dinner for swimming and volley ball. It was still pretty hot outside and the kids stayed swimming for hours.

The volley ball teams were well matched and fun to watch.

They got so sweaty and sandy by diving for the ball. After the game Samantha was trying to scrape the sand off Tyler with her snow scraper.

The brush part actually worked better.

Faith and two friends came zooming up on the 4 wheeler while eating popsicles to go swimming too.

They joined the group in the lake.

It was getting dark when the kids were called out of the water.

Everyone had a blessed Funday Sunday.
