Holiday Weekend

What a busy weekend we had here, especially for nothing being planned until Thursday. Here's a bit of a recap...

Saturday

Traveled down to Kurt's parents house for lunch time. Rides aren't getting any harder with Amelia yet. She squawked for awhile but no real screaming/crying that Landen used to do once he got into the car. I'm so thankful for a baby that actually likes car rides (for the most part). Landen fell asleep in the car watching Toy story. This was a good thing because he never wants to nap when we're at someones house. He's too excited, he can be completely dragging and will still be going. Exhausted, crabby, aggressive and still going. =) Ken and Lauri took some great video of Alaska and we definitely enjoyed that. The glacier falling was the highlight (in my opinion). Still, I don't think I would want to visit there anytime soon. Kurt definitely wants too, but I'm still wanting to head anywhere South. I don't like cold one bit. It was good to hear about their trip though and I'm sure it's always fun to tell people about it. =) Kurt and Landen got to fly a kite, Landen's first time and I think he really liked it.

Here they are looking up at the Kite. They are so cute together. I also like this photo because of the corn. You don't appreciate corn until you live in the middle of town and you never see it except when you drive back home. I think it looks so beautiful, big, tall and green. I can't wait until we move out into the country. Someday, someday!

Here they are again, you can actually see the kite this time though. The sky is beautiful and there is my corn. I never would have thought I'd think corn was pretty. Just like the sky out in the country, all the stars. It's amazing, you take it for granted when you live out there. Someday, Someday I'll be out there again. lol We ended up heading home a little before dinner and ended up turning ourselves into Cartoons the rest of the night. =)

Sunday

Church was pretty good, I ended up in the back the majority of the time with Amelia. It must have been a bad day for children because everyone seemed to be back there. I wish we had a mothers room with speakers so we can hear. If you need to nurse you have to go into the section that doesn't have speakers and you miss so much. Oh well. After Mass ... I told Kurt we were either going shopping or starting the project of taking the wallpaper off of our bedroom wall. Let me tell you, we have the most awful wallpaper in our bedroom and I'm sick of looking at it. Kurt decided he'd rather go shopping. Haha! We got Landen his new shoes, poor kid. Will he ever have regular feet!?! I got a bunch of clothes at Old Navy for Amelia next year. Can't beat the Clearance Rack! Other than that, we just got things here and there. Amelia was a doll in her Moby Wrap. As we walked around the mall we got a lot of stares and a few comments here or there. I'm not one to like to be spectacle so that was strange. It was a fun trip... we told ourselves that we weren't going to get crabby (shopping with the little ones can make you crabby) and we didn't hardly at all.

Monday

Labor day we went to my parents house. Overall it was a lot of fun, the night ended later than it should have and on somewhat of a sour note. Sometimes things need to be said, and that's how I'm going to leave that. We had a family picture taken, I'm anxious to see how that turns out. Landen was not cooperating at all - but hopefully the one of my entire family turned out well. Kurt and I had our first match of Tether ball. LOL - It was a lot of fun, even though I lost. Landen had the time of his life as always. Grandpa "Pa" got the tractor out for him - crazy kid! I didn't get a picture of him this time because I was nursing Amelia. He also got to ride the four wheeler - always a lot of fun! Mom made some great food. Sara - sorry I didn't get to try your egg rolls... maybe we can make them sometime!!? It was really great to have everyone together at one time, not often does everyone come home at the same time and I know it means a lot to some of us to get to see everyone at once. It's a big commotion, but it's only going to get bigger as our family grows! And to end this - I have far to many mosquito bites to count and I was only outside for maybe ten minutes. I HATE MOSQUITO'S!
