A Great Weekend

We started this weekend off with a great start. We bought a new car. (I Love, love, love new cars.) We have been debating between another car or an SUV. Well the SUV won. Here is the newest member of our garage. The navigation voice is a male with a British accent...I now call him Charlie.

Caleb offered to be on call for most of Saturday to give the normal girl a break. So we hung out at home for the most part. I went and ran some errands. That night we went to the Drive-in with Caleb's family. All but one family was able to make it. We had a great time. We watched Despicable me and Charlie St. Cloud. I loved the first movie and didn't watch too much of the second....I couldn't stay awake. I had even taken a nap earlier to avoid falling asleep. No such luck. It seems most the girls like the second movie. We know that all of the guys really loved Zac Efron since he is so "handsome". Ha ha ha.

We spent Sunday together hanging out. We went to visit with my parents and then had dinner at Caleb's parents home with his family. Spending time with everyone is great. Watching my youngest niece and nephew show all of us what they can do gets better and better. Tonight it was a summersalt, marching, turning in circles and doing a flip over their mom. To see them grow up into individuals is amazing. Soon they will be "little" adults like the older two.

Only in the Summer

Yesterday Caleb went out and rode his bike for a few hours. I ran around town and really didn't do a whole lot of anything. We decided a couple days ago that we were going to go to the Drive-In to see a movie. We had a great time. We both grew up going to the drive-in. It brings out the child in me. We sat before the movie started and watched the guy that worked there constantly tell people in SUV's and trucks that they can't park in the car areas. If you like to people watch this is the place for you.

One of the best days of our Lives

HaPpy 4th of July and more

We spent the weekend with Caleb's family camping. We had a great time. Great weather and great people. It was nice getting away from the everyday stuff. We rented a tent trailer which made camping so much easier. I keep telling Caleb that I want to become Trailer campers permanently. So someday this might just happen. For our first camping trip of the year I would have to call it a success.

Cort has officially been gone for a year. Well as of the 1st of July. Half way there....that's great. If you remember back to the post of the day he left He and I made a deal. That I wasn't going to cut my hair for two years. I joke that I am going to be able to tuck my hair into my socks by the time he comes home. I will post a pic tomorrow of when he Left and today to show how it is coming along.

I hope everyone has had a WoNdErFuL 4th of July.

A little different

This past weekend I had to work. Caleb spent Sat with our nephew. They went to see The Karate Kid. I love that we get the opportunities to spend quality time with our nieces and nephews. As the two younger ones get older I hope we can build great relationships like we have done with the older two. I always joke that Caleb and I are their favorite uncle and aunt. I am joking...well most the time. My kid at heart really gets to come out. As one of my sister-n-laws says I am the fun aunt. I love that title....too bad it doesn't come with a crown and sash. **** my little secret is I don't do it for them..I love to be goofy, play catch, go to a pool or water park and play games. I get to use them to do the things that ADULTS don't do. PLEASE don't tell them because it might ruin my rep.
We both got to spend time with are dad's on their big day. Both our dad's are Amazing. Laid back attitude, both think they are funny, kind hearted, would do anything for their kids and most of all LOVE Caleb and me. I know I am my dad's favorite daughter and Caleb is his favorite son-n-law...and since this is MY blog I can think similiar thoughts about my father n law...I would just never publish them...

Two things were different this year...Two people were missing...my dad got a letter and shirt from Cort. It was soooo great that Cort sent my dad something. Last year at this time we had Cort's farewell, Father's day and my gpa Gardner's b-day. Today he would have been 90 years old. We had a great weekend.

Out with the old....in with the new

This past weekend Caleb sold his motorcycle and bought a motorcycle. We drove to Colorado to meet up with the guy that bought the bike from us. 6 hours in the car is way to much for us. I have no idea what people are thinking who decide to take road trips across the country. Even more confusing is the people who do it with children. Do I have to give them some credit or take points away? Caleb found a new bike and picked it up last Friday. I have already knocked it over. The same day he got it. He is still trying to convince me to get my own. Ha I laugh in the face of danger....Laugh because I am not stupid. I do not trust myself on motorized 4 wheels let alone 2. I will stick to my two wheeled PEDAL bike, thanks anyways babe. There is only room for one Evel Knievel in this house, and he won that title a couple weeks ago.

My mom and I are going to work on a little craft project this Friday. If all goes well you will see pics of it and if it doesn't, I will destroy all proof that our idea failed miserably. I am keeping my fingers crossed for the next two days. This could impact how I play volleyball on Thursday night. So I might take a couple hours off to get my game on. I will keep you posted. If you don't see pics don't even ask what we attempted to do. Failure brings out the worst emotions in people.

HaPpY Long Weekend

Caleb and I had a great weekend. We spent Saturday with our nephew. We ran some errand and took him to see The Prince of Persia. It was a good show. I had no idea what it was about going into it but I would recommend it for others to enjoy. We played in the backyard. Well, my nephew and I did since Caleb is still broken. We just hung around the house on Sunday. My parents and gma dropped by for a few min to visit. Today we had a BBQ at Caleb's parent's house. We celebrated his gpa's 77th birthday. We enjoyed the great weather and great times with each other. We can always use more weekends like this one.
