Catch Up

Okay so we went to Prince Albert and had soooo much fun there! The Kids love love love it~ The animals and aunts and uncles and the dirt.... oh yes the giant dirt pile we call the garden! layton picked flowers for grandma everyday!! lol. I also had the chance to go for my first massage.... oh man if you have never been YOU MUST GO!! So completly relaxing and for $50 I can't imagine any better way to blow that money! I will be back!!
Then we moved along to regina, Makin decent time I might add! had so much fun there too! kids made crafts, I taught Kels to make bows. Spent time at the giant play park! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Layton went out with Uncle Dan and Auntie Krista to a movie, He still talks about it! (And Dan's new ride, he's jealous) and wears the 3 D waifare glasses I might add! I went out to dinner with Jim and Courtney! So Nice! Thanks again guys! (p.s.I am jealous of your new ride!)
Then it was time to make the journey home... Just me and the kids! Yup only took 11 hours! Now I am not to sure how many of you (look at me being optimistic and assuming more than one person is reading this!! ) know how long of a trip it is but it's usually only about 8 hours....
Good thing we were driving on a road with not much oncoming traffic! ha ha!


While we were away, we got new windows put in! yup we gave them a key and they let themselves in and did the job then left! Don't worry, It was the primary pianist and the bishop from church! (if we can't trust them who can we!!) They are fabulous, and quiet and New!! we also ripped down the fiber wall, cause it was a textured wall underneath and it was horrible! So we re-drywalled it and put the corners on today! so still have a ways to go.

The day after we got home we went to the Young Womens silent auction and Dinner, to raise money for girls camp. (I donated a photoshoot.) It was super fun and since we were all home to go we got all dolled up and took pics to prove it!

My Friend Holly and I decided to do a kids swap. I take them one day and she takes them the next! So she took my kids all day! How wonderful,
I cleaned out the room of doom (you can imagine by the name what it was like)
I did 7 loads of laundry
I set up the crib for Ethan
I put the corners up on the drywall
I patched nicks and scratches in the hall way
I made pizza for lunch
I went and looked at paint colours
I had an amazing shower!
I revamped my website.
I edited pictures.
I cleaned the basement.

I love having no kids for a day! THANK YOU HOLLY!!

and my garden! It has come up so well! I am so happy with it for my first garden I couln't be more pleased. I hope it all goes well for the rest of the summer!
