weekend wonders

This weekend was pretty normal, we slept in a bit and stayed up late.

On Saturday Mitchell got up and watched the kids while I slept in (I’m a lucky woman) and then he went outside to work on the side of the house, it was not quite done being painted. We also started work on the Kitchen table. Mitchell brought the table in to the garage and took it apart so that I could sand it. WE spent a good amount of time sanding, then we were able to prime it and finally today I put down the first coat of paint. So a few more coats of paint  and several coats of tongue oil or polyurethane to finish!!!

On Sunday we had dinner at my grandparents’ house! It was so fun and I was able to take some fun pictures. We had a big “corn on the cob” feed we had lots of yummy food including my uncle Shawn’s smoked turkey and my dads delicious dessert.  

I am so glad that I live near enough to my family to go to those kinds of gatherings! I have so many wonderful relatives I have truly been blessed

Now for the pictures of my cute kiddos.   there was a huge yellow jacket nest in the tractor that I didn’t know about  until we were right by it which I way none of the pictures ON the actual tractor. It was SO hot that the kids where fine not too many of the yellow jackets where flying around. I got a few taken in front of the tractor really quick for the sake of safety. That is why they don’t look to nice, but I wanted to have a record of this old “landmark” from my childhood

I had to add a "journal" type note about the new friends i have made that have moved into our ward! Its so exciting to have young families around and it is an answer to my prayers. I just got back from a "run" with two of them Solvig and Melissa. Melissa is a seasoned runner and is helping the other two of us get back in shape! we just did jogging intervals but it was just perfect and i am so excited to keep at it!
