Breakfast at Audrey's

It's a well known fact amongst the Bartlett's that Sunday morning is designated to visit Jim & Audrey at the Log Cabin Cafe. The adults gather around the big wooden table, shuffling the different sections of the Sunday paper back and forth. The kids are let loose to run around, play, and have fun with each other. Aunt Sherri usually shows up with a dozen farm fresh eggs and it's "everyone for themselves" to cook up what they want. Sometimes cookies get distributed, depending on how much the kids whine, and what Grandma Bartlett has in stock. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the house and warms the bellies of those in attendance. According to Grandpa Bartlett, some Sundays are so packed that you can't hardly find a seat, and others are so quiet you can hear the crickets. Well last Sunday was one of those times when the house was a buzz. Caleb & Andy visited and had a great time seeing family.

30 people RSVP'd for this baby shower, however 70 people showed up!!! It was fun though and Seth & Joanna's new house more than accomodated everyone.

The Actual Grammy's

As promised, here's some pics from Trish's trip to L.A. last weekend for the Grammy's.

Trish & her friend Terigene (who won the trip) on a little sight-seeing excursion before the Grammy's.




For Trish, seeing this house was almost as good as seeing the Grammy's!!! (House where Fresh Prince of Bel-Air tv show was filmed)


Heading into the show!!


View from their seats.


Here you can see the stage had 2 sides, so while one act was performing they could set up for the next. In this pic, on the near side, they are setting up for the Jason Aldean/Kelly Clarkson performance.


During the Coldplay performance, everyone was wearing glowing wristbands.


Heading to the After Party!


More pics & videos from the After Party to come........

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Grammy's at Grammy's

This past weekend Trish was so graciously invited by her friend Terigene to attend music's biggest night. Yes, that's right....she went to Los Angeles to see the Grammy's!!! There will be plenty more posted from her experiences in California, but in the meantime, Andy & Caleb spent the weekend at Grandpa & ma Lesher's! So here's a little from the boys' weekend celebrating the Grammy's at Grammy's.

Here's Caleb relaxing with a milk while he watches a cartoon.


As you can see it was a pretty relaxing weekend. Lots of sweatpants, cartoons, and movies.








Of course the weekend wasn't all rest & relaxation. We made a trip to Cabela's in Omaha on Saturday and Andy picked up a new bow!!!! It's pretty sweet too. It's a 2011 Diamond Outlaw, straight out of the box! Next spring and fall the deer & turkeys won't stand a chance!! Here's a pic of the newest addition to Andy's arsenal.

Stay tuned for much more from Trish's trip to LA.....
