Welcome To Our LIfe: Memorial Weekend

Memorial weekend is supposed to be sunny right? Well not here in Utah. We started out the weekend with a Chick-fila sandwich and taking the kids bowling. It was a blast. Derek was doing awesome and staying ahead of Kelsey then Kelsey got her first strike and it was all over for Derek. The tears just started flowing, but what was really cute was that even though he was crying because he wanted a strike he ran up to Kelsey and gave her a big high five. They are so competitive with each other, but I am glad to see that they can be happy when the other one succeeds. Saturday was filled with tasks and errands trying to get ready for field day and being ready for sunday and the next week. I am in charge of field day this year at Lakeside Elementary, don't ask me how I got roped into that one with only a child in kindergaten, but it happened. Field Day is fpr the entire school and it is all day long. I have 18 games for the kids to play. I will let you know at the end of the week how that one goes.

Sunday was Grandpa Richards 67th birthday. He was so cute. Kelsey gave Grandpa the present the first time. Derek wanted to give Grandpa the present so we re-gifted and Grandpa was a great sport

Then we sang to Grandpa and Marissa for there birthday's!

Grandpa Richard is great we love him so much. What a great picture of him blowing out those candles isn't it?

We were also able to go to Grandpa ad Grandma Ross's grave sight and Amanda's and Grandpa and Grandpa Steed's. And we will get to Grandpa Eddie's this week. Our kids were very good and full of questions about the graves. They were very cute.

Then on Monday we got up and wanted to go swimming at Grandma Shelly's house but it was raining so hard and it was so very cold. So we played the wii with the kids and did a little work around the house, as little as possible. Then we went over to the Steed's and had Manti Turkey. It was so very good. When the rain would let up for a minute we would run outside and ride the golf cart to see the pigs, horses and donkey. Brooke would live on that thing if she could. Silly Tom even jumped into one of the pig pens and three very large pigs charged at him. He is teaching the kids bad habits. Now everytime we go down there the kids want him to jump in I think he is a little scared Ha Ha. We found a baby Robin that had fallen out of a tree and it looked as if it was dying. It wouldn't even move you could pet it. Tom found a worm and broke it up into pieces and fed it to it, low and behold it started jumping around Tom put it on the tree branch and it hopped its way up to the nest, in flew mother bird and fed it another worm it was so cute. Then we started a fire and had some smores. Despite the cold weather we had a great weekend. We love being able to spend time together, but it does make it hard for me to want to send Tom back to work.
