Ahh, a three day weekend-a little late!

Here are some individual highlights from our Memorial Day weekend (a little delayed bc it was a busy week):

Talan did lots of climbing. We took him to Jared's cousin's for a bbq and he climbed up the stairs without even flinching.


Austin-as you can see from the pictures he spent some quality time with dad, got to go swimming, and loved playing the Wii at Heidi and Aaron's house.

The best part of my weekend was definitely having 2 working toilets in our house again! HOORAY!

Jared- not going to work, of course! And spending time with the boys.

Highlights from our trip

I think I figured out how to post this little album from our trip. We had lots of fun and hopefully didn't drive Jared's parents insane for the 10 days we were there. Eventhough my flights to and from Denver were both cancelled, and our car didn't start at the airport when we got home, our trip was lots of fun. Note to anyone traveling in the near future--never try to fit three suitcases and 4 people in a two door honda civic. Oh well, I guess it made for a good laugh! Good luck to Ryan, who leaves next week for a mission Brazil, we had lots of fun with you.

Denver!

My three new favorite things

Visiting Denver last week, I was introduced to a few of my new favorite things (mostly impart by my mother-in-law).

1. Ziploc Steamer bags- I always wondered if they really worked. They are awesome. I just made fresh broccoli for dinner tonight and it was delicious. I am so excited that I will be able to have fresh vegetables even when Jared is out of town bc they are so easy to make (even just a single serving).

2. Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookies in the pouch (add raisins)- I am not usually one to like store bought cookie dough, mix, but these are yummy and have just the right blend of flavors. And they are so easy (always a bonus)!

3. Ped Egg- I totally wondered if these worked. Jared got me one for mother's day, and I love it (but I think I rubbed my foot raw bc I got a little too excited). Oh well!
