Weekends...

The weekend before last, David's mom and step-dad came down for a few days after their mini-vacation to Gatlinburg. We always love when our family comes to see us, so we were excited for them to get here. They got here Friday afternoon/evening, then we headed out with the Trinh's and Sidden's to dinner for Barbara's birthday. It was fun, a little chotic, but fun. Bekah brought us a yummy cake and it was enjoyed by all. After that we went home and played a little Wii. I wish I had pictures or video, but they are on my video camera, let me tell you, it was hilarious! David's mom has never played before, so it was a hoot! We were all rolling!

Saturday we all go up, David had a meeting, so we just really stayed around the house. I relaxed, they did some laundry for us and then made sandwiches for lunch. Brenda made me some yummy homeade banana pudding for my birthday!! When David got home, he and Mike put up 1 of the 9 new doors that we have to put up. It takes a little longer than just throwing it up there, so only 8 more to go! ;) Then we headed to Red Lobster for my birthday dinner. It was so yummy and Ty did great. We were all hurting by the time we left. So we went back home and had some banana pudding. Then we sat around and of course, I fell asleep. Sunday morning they were packed and ready to go, so we headed to church and then they left afterwards and headed home. We had a great time and were so thankful they were able to come visit!

Then the week was pretty uneventful besides the fact that we found out that Monday we are having a boy. So that was a highlight! Then, Thursday, I took a personal day, cause I just needed to. I slept in, went shopping, and got some crafts done. It was a pretty productive day. Then Friday, I came home from work early cause Tyler had a double ear infection and David needed to do some homework. Then it all started. About Friday afternoon, it started raining and quickly turned into snow. It snowed pretty much all night and most of the day Saturday. At some point it turned to sleat and then turned back to snow. We got around 7" or so. David and his friend, Luke, rented a bob cat and helped one of Luke's friend's dad's company clear some parking lots. They left around 12:00 on Saturday morning and didn't get back till Sunday night around 7:00. They worked all night and sure were tired, but they made some pretty good money! We missed having daddy around, but he was having fun and making money, so it was good.

Saturday, it let off for about an hour, so Ty and I went out to have a little fun. David bought him a little sled thing, so I pulled him around for a bit. He enjoyed it until I put him in the snow and he was stuck. He wasn't too happy about that, but it was funny.

Kylie sure enjoyed it because she got to stay inside for most of the weekend. She and Ty bonded. They were having the best time together. It was really cute. Kylie is great with him and so gentle. Ty was sitting on top of her bouncing and all kinds of stuff like that and Kylie would just lay there. So all in all, it was a great weekend. We were getting a little stir crazy, so Sarah came over Sunday night and we ventured out and got something to eat. Then we were going to take Ty to get his haircut, but the place had already closed, so we just went back home and waited for David to get back. He was happy to be home, but then started clearing our driveway, so Ty and I watched from the window.

This week has been pretty cold and nasty so far. It warms up during the day, so things melt and then freeze again during the night, so the mornings are pretty nasty.

Yesterday, Ty had fun playing in the driveway, shoveling snow from one pile to the other. He was not happy to have to go back inside, but we managed. It's been ok, but they are calling for it again this weekend! Oh my. I guess I need to go grocery shopping cause I think we ate most everything this past weekend!

So now on to working on our rooms... Here is a picture of the shelf David redid and fixed. It was just an old beaten up, wobbly bookshelf that he stained and fixed. It holds some of Ty's toys and

makes it more of his space. So things are coming along, slowly but surely! ;) And last but not least, here's a little video of Tyler in the snow. :)
