Memorial Day!

Jer took me out this Memorial Day. We had to get out of the house so we took the kids to the park!

It was so nice to see the kids enjoy themselves in the warm weather.

Lets Go Fly a Kite!

It is starting to feel like Summer! I absolutely love Saturdays in the Summer. This past Saturday we spent a lot of time outside with the kids. Jer and I cleaned and reorganized our garage. While we were doing that, we found a kite so we took a break to fly it with the kids! luckily we live on the plains where is is incredibly windy!!!

After we finished with the garage, Jer and I took out the kid's bikes and Jer's bike (mine is still unusable since both tires are blown). Jer helped Mason learn to ride his bike without his training wheels. Mason is sure growing up! Daddy and Brook had a bike race while Dallas tagged along.

It was a perfect day!

Family For Dinner!

Friday Jer's parents and sister's Jillian and Courtney came by and ate pizza off of the grill. We had fun visiting and playing Just Dance.

I love watching the cousins play together. It makes me wish we could all visit more often.

I am so excited for Memorial Day weekend.

Horrible Rain!

This week it has been raining and raining! Here in Akron, Colorado we just don't see much rain ever!

Jer and I were watching a movie while the kids were playing downstairs when all of a sudden Brook and Mase holler up to us to tell us that water was leaking from Brook's window! Jer and I rushed downstairs to find the window well was not draining and the water was rising.

Jer scooped up as much water as he could with a bucket and is still outside in the rain trying to find sand bags or whatever he can find to fix it.

We called out land lord but he is away and there isn't much else we can do for now except do our best to keep the water down and away.

It is going to be a long night!

Aly's Reception!

This weekend was my good friend Aly's reception in Colorado Springs. She and her husband Hiram got married last Saturday in the San Diego temple. I was so bummed I couldn't be there so I made sure we made it to the reception since it was fairly close!

Aly and I were best friends when we were younger. It makes me so happy to see her find someone as sweet as Hiram. They seem so great together! It was so nice to be there and see Aly's parents again!

Before the reception we made sure to eat at Fargo's. Its our favorite place to eat in Springs. They make the best pizza ever! One of our favorites is the Big Red. It has cheese, ham and tomatoes on top. The best part is the crispy crust! The kids love the restaurant's decorations. The self playing piano is always a hit!

This weekend was busy and quick but it was well worth it.

Mo's Birthday!

Friday was Jer's dad's Birthday. We drove up to Sterling to Celebrate. We gave him a card and I made my truffle chocolate cake. Jer's sister Courtney has moved back home so that was really nice too.

I really love this man! Jer's dad is such a sweet guy. He is always playing with the grandchildren and loves to joke around.

Thanks for making me feel like another daughter Mo!
