This post is gonna be lacking a little in the picture department. I debated even making a post because of it but decided that was a lame excuse. I don't need a lot of pictures to document a fun weekend with family. I just want to be able to remember it!
Friday evening we went on a dinner date with Shi and Kody. We met them at R&R for a yummy bbq dinner and then we satisfied our sweet tooth {sweet tooths? sweet teeth???} at The Baked Bear for dessert. Shi worked some of her auntie magic and was able to rock our fussy Emmett to sleep.
On Saturday we drove to Logan to spend the day with Jason's side of the fam. I always enjoy going up there. We all brought something for a picnic lunch, but ended up staying at Evan and Blaire's for convenience and AC haha. While we were there we noticed Emmett popped his first tooth! That explains the fussiness, poor boy!
After a couple of hours in Logan, Debi, Tierra, and Cortlen came back to our house. Grandma Debi was oh so kind to babysit Emmett while the rest of us hit the gym. I love going on Saturday's because the gym is usually c l e a r e d o u t. It's like people have lives on the weekend or something ;) The boys did their thing while Tierra and I worked all of our muscles silly. I was sore for daaays. Worth it!
Tierra and Cort stayed with us for the remainder of the weekend. We watched movies, slept in, made german pancakes, relaxed, played aggravation, and blasted country music at the pool for our last swim of the summer. We have so much fun with those two - I already want them to come back!
^^ A little bro bonding hahaha
Tierra and Cort headed back to Idaho Monday afternoon. We spent our Labor Day evening at Britta and Austin's for a bbq dinner with another friend couple of theirs. So yummy, so fun, and a perfect end to our long weekend!
I could {maybe should} end this post here BUT I let this sit in my drafts a bit too long and more things have been going on around here. Sooo here's just a brief life update.
8/16 Parade of homes and Bahama Bucks with Britt and the kiddos.
8/18 Parade of homes with Hails in the afternoon. Dinner and games at Britta and Austin's in the evening. We had Korean rice bowls for din {possibly my new fav meal} and donuts for dessert.
9/7 We got a new car! We traded in our 2015 Chevy Cruze for a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. It's bigger, safer, better. We are in love!
9/8 The Anderson's and Martin's came over to our place for dinner and games. We had pizza, salad, donuts, soda {so healthy lol} and played kan jam and spikeball outside. So fun!
9/12 I took Hailey out for a birthday lunch at Smashburger. Emmett and I hung with Britt and the cousins afterwards. Emmett and Ellis were being sooo sweet to each other!
9/15 Went to the Kortni Jeane warehouse sale with Shi and Britt! Sad babies, spoiled milk, and smoky skies sum up that early morning haha. We got some cute swimmies for ourselves, our kiddos, and even our husbands.
I was extremely sick later that day {i think} from eating raw cookie dough the night before. I had the worst stomach aches and couldn't keep any food down. It. Was. Miserable. Shout out to my hubby for sticking by me through it all.
9/18 Relief society paint night activity. This is the first relief society activity I've ever attended if I'm being honest. It was a lot of fun and I even made some new mama neighbor friends!
9/21 Visited Grandma and Grandpa Syddall. They snuggled their great grand baby and then Grandpa dominated us all in rummy, as usual.
9/22 Gym date with Jason while Grandma Debi babysat. We took her to Kneader's for lunch afterwards. That evening we went to the Anderson household for dessert and jackbox tv games with Shi and Kody.
Alright, I think that'll do for now. There's been talk of potential job opportunities in different states for both Austin and Jason, so we're trying to soak up all the sibling time we can while we still live so close. Who knows what the future holds! I'm excited, nervous, and anxious all at the same time. I don't want change, but also do???
