Memorial Day Weekend



This weekend was so great! Friday, Jeremy and I went out to eat with his parents and came home to watch "The Bee Movie" with Jack- although I couldn't get past Seinfield's voice! All I could picture whenever the bee spoke was Jerry.

Saturday, my sisters and I treated my mom to a "Spa Day". We all got together and went in on a mani/pedi for my mom and took her out to lunch. It was the first time in years that the 5 of us have done any sort of "Girls Day Out" together, since one of us is always out of state for college or away for some reason. I also completed the apron for my mom and finally remembered to take a picture (this is the fourth one I've made!) I still need to make myself one, one of these days.


Sunday was the usual, church and then family dinner. This week, we went over my moms since it was Lindi's last Sunday at home.


Monday, Jeremy went rafting and tried out the new raft. I stayed home and worked on projects. I got Jack's "puppy" quilt all pieced .. so I'm slooowly getting there. Then we barbecued (of course!) and Aaron and Debbie came over with the kids and played for a little while outside.

Today we went to the Zoo with all the cousins, Steph, Tina and Grandma Vicky. Jack loved the animals of course, and doesn't care that the Alaska Zoo is mostly full of Alaskan animals. We had an elephant for a while, which for Alaska was a big deal ..but it was recently transferred to an Elephant sanctuary. It was still neat to see all the bears, moose, musk ox, caribou, etc.

Oh man your girls day out with your mom and sisters sounds so fun...and the zoo looks cool too! Alaska does have some pretty amazing animals. I haven't been there yet. The kids had SOOOO much fun playing at your place yesterday. I forgot to tell you THANKS for scoring us the killer deal on the granite tiles! I love them!! And I have to say I cannot believe you are 9 months pregnant--you look SO great!!! Hope you feel as fabulous as you look:)

Fun girl times! I would love to do that with my sisters and mom.

I got a pedicure yesterday - it felt heavenly! I think they were invented for pregnant women. ;)

I would love the alaskan zoo - so cool to see all the "different" animals!
