One great weekend

The Kartchner’s had a busy weekend. The girls started Friday night off with a favorite baby sitter. Macy is always excited to Sam come over and play. She requests that Sam bring her bouncy balls. Brian and I used the time to go to the temple. We almost missed the last session. We didn’t know that 7:30 PM was the last session each night unless there is a lot of people. We arrived at 7:24 and the men at the front asked if we were trying to make the 7:30 session. We said if it were possible, but would be fine with 8 o’clock. He then informed us of our error and said we could try to make it. I made it into the dressing room and got dressed in 3 minutes. The women temple workers were shocked. Brian made it to the chapel about the same time I did.

Saturday I definitely realized that I am not Fabio the pool boy. I was still having problems with the filter, so I took it apart again and replaced the rest of the parts. I was so proud of myself. I was sure I solved the problem. I hadn’t. Today I again took it apart and then called a real pool technician. They are coming tomorrow. Goodbye money. Blast those expensive technicians.

Late Saturday afternoon the family piled into the car and made our way back up to Prescott. The kids had their movies and we were going to the “World’s Oldest Rodeo”. We went with another couple and really enjoyed ourselves. Macy thought the “radio” was all about eating. She told Kelsey that we were almost to the “radio” so we can eat. We spent about $40 buck in food in that trip. What pigs we were either that or those type of places rip you off with the refreshments. Needless to say we had a good time. I don’t think the girls watched too much of the action. Kelsey had her hand either in the kettle corn or in her mouth most of the time. Macy watched a little but was mostly interested in the other kids around us. She played with them all night. Our seats were perfect because they were right by the walkway so the kids could run around and we could still sit and watch. Luckily there was saw no serious injuries. All of Macy’s friends seem to pass out before the end, but Macy and Kelsey lasted the entire time. The most memorable thing the people around us might say was the little girl that tried to strip off her pants and diaper. For some odd reason Kelsey got tired of them and kept sticking her hands down her pants and trying to tear the diaper off. She almost succeeded a couple of times but dad kept pulling them back up.
The evening was beautiful up there. I was sad to leave the cool temperatures, but we had to get back home. Brian was too tired to drive, so I took the wheel. Thank goodness for 96.9 and a husband that could listen to me sing the entire way home. They were playing live music for a dance club. It was 80s and 90s night so the music was great. As we approached the Phoenix valley I noticed our car thermometer slowly rise. Once we hit Phoenix I told Brian welcome back. The thermometer read 95 and it was 12:30 AM.

Sunday was great. The kids slept in until 9 AM and so did I. Church was amazing. Friends invited us over for dinner so I didn’t have to cook. Her meal was delicious. Thank you Thea. Overall the weekend was a huge success.
