Memorial Day Weekend

We survived last week with Jason being gone. The kids have such a tough time towards the end...every night they ask if Dad will be home when they wake up! So I was really relieved when Jason came home at midnight on Thursday. Tanner woke up and ran straight into our room (oh wait he was already there!!) and was so happy that dad was there...and Paige woke up and I took her in our room and she had to make sure that it really was dad laying there. And Kylie was so happy to see her daddy...he only had to work part of the day so we enjoyed being with him. Although I had planned a shopping outing in the afternoon we were heading up to the outlets to catch some sales. And of course it was raining cats and dogs. I don't mind the rain especially in May but we were heading to an outdoor mall. Oh well it was cool and stopped raining once we got there!

It was a very successful trip, I got the girls some cute clothes at the Gymboree outlet and Tanner was very pleased with his new swim trunks and shirt from GAP. It was fun to be with friends and shopping. We zoomed home and we wanted to have some more Daddy time.

Saturday we all slept in and then we did some grocery shopping and we are trying to find some hardware for our kitchen cabinets. We've been to Home Depot and Lowe's now and haven't been successful. So now I need to try to find some elsewhere that don't cost me an arm and a leg!! We got home and we got ready to go out!! Yay so much fun. I went and picked up our sitter and as soon as Paige saw her she started sobbing she knew we were going to leave. It was breaking my heart so I just had to leave. (I called about 10 minutes later and she was fine playing on the floor!) We met friends at the Pribyls and set off for a surprise for Erin's 30th birthday. We went to Alto a nice restaurant in a Hyatt resort in Scottsdale. It was so much fun we enjoyed our company and had a great dinner. Afterwards we got to go on a gondola ride. It was fun and we even had a song. I didn't expect it to be so loud I started laughing but then had to keep it quiet I felt bad I don't know why I was laughing. Oh well!

Sunday was a normal day...chaotic since we got to church about 20 minutes early and still didn't get a soft seat!! But the kids did pretty good during Sacrament still a little crazy since we weren't boxed in a pew Kylie decided that she wanted to dance...always fun to sit behind the Headrick Family!! After church I did some Visiting Teaching and then our friends came over for a visit. So much fun!!

Monday we did some more shopping for a BBQ. Safeway was having a great deal buy 2 12 packs of soda, get 2 free plus a 24 pack of bottled water. We don't drink a lot of soda but decided it would be a good thing to have just in case! Then we headed to Home Depot and got some flowers for our pots we bought. It was fun planting flowers again. I always used to help my mom and dad with the annual planting every summer. Jason doesn't believe me but I really did like to do it!! We went swimming and then came home for a BBQ. Chelsea and Jordan and Maddi (the dog) came over and we had a good time. We ate, and played with the kids and visited. It was a great day!

Just some random pictures of the kids! We were outside enjoying the unusually nice weather.

Paige is now 10 months old, she has been crawling for about 3 weeks now, and is getting quicker everyday!

Kylie is our little princess that has to wear a dress everyday so that she can dance....hmmm maybe I should get her into a dance class?!?
