Bloom and Bus Races

This Saturday was jam packed for the Meyer's.

First Brian helped Mikey pour concrete at the cabin. The pour went really well and the concrete looks amazing! It's so exciting to watch the cabin come together. It reminds me of watching Brian build the ranch, all the excitement and anticipation as each new step is completed. Great work Mikey! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Then Saturday afternoon we had Jovie and Jaylee's first birthday party. It was fun and the girls are so cute! Jaylee just loved being able to dig in her cake, Jovie on the other hand didn't get too excited about it...but it was fun to watch!






Then Saturday night it was off to the 5th annual bus races! Brian had brought the bus home Friday night, so he could bring it to the track on Saturday, so Logan and I had a chance to take some pictures and play in the bus. Logan thought it was the COOLEST thing. He just loved sitting on the seat and especially loved pulling the air horn. Every time the air horn would go off he's start laughing. Needless to say we've got a driver in training....



The bus races are such an amazing event each year! It's so fun to watch the students and community pour out to support Brian and the bus. I am sad to report that BMeyer wasn't able to pull out a victory this year...officially...but we all know who the best driver on the track was on Saturday night. And of course he's the only driver to ever needed to throw the bus in reverse to keep it from tipping over...(see the video is below). Upon later review of the tap the 15 lap feature race was cut down to 12 laps and no white flag was waved to indicate one lap left. If he would have had one more lap he would have been victorious, but again, we all know who the best driver on the track was Saturday night. I just love watching everyone support Brian though. It was so cute, after the races these two kids had come up to my Mom and Dad and asked if Brian was around and if he'd sign their shirts for them. Unfortunately we had already left because we had to get to my 10 year high school reunion. :-( But you can see just how much everyone loves Brian and how each year at this time he turns into a local celebrity. We went into the bar later that night and everyone was slapping him on the back and congratulating him. I'm so proud of you babe! If you look on youtube for "Osceola Bus Races" there are some videos on there with the full feature race as well as a few of the other races. If you get a chance and want to watch.









Then as I mentioned before it was off to my 10 year high school class reunion after the races. We didn't get there until almost 11, but there was still a ton of people there and it was so good to see some of my friends that I haven't seen in literally 10 years. Those events can be so awkward, but if you try to remember everyone feels the same awkwardness, then it makes it a little better. Anyways, Saturday was a long and eventful day, but super fun!

Then Sunday we just relaxed. Our apple orchard is in full bloom right now and so beautiful! Here's some pictures below as well as a few shots of Logan and Stella playing with the dandelions in the yard. And then a couple of Logan playing in the sandbox at Mike and Deb's cabin. The kid loves to dig in the sand!
