Fantastic Weekend!

Thursday night my sister and Jeremy stayed over night and Friday morning my sister, the kids and I met my Mom at WEM Build a Bear. Blake built a ring bearing bear!! I thought he might be a bit young to really enjoy the whole experience, but he had a lot of fun! So he left the mall with a new friend, named Sam! Sam has two outfits, one casual, every day outfit and a tuxedo for the wedding (complete with big boy underwear, dress socks and dress shoes!!)!

And the weekend has been fabulous :) The weather was absolutely gorgeous! Saturday we went for a walk to the park. Cal and Blake visit the park quite often, but most times Emerson and I are at home making supper!! So Blake was excited to show Em and I all the exciting new things he can do!! I was very surprised at how well he could climb the climbing wall! A bit scary to see your 2 year old scale the climbing wall with no help, but he did it repeatedly!!! And of course, we had to see the BIIIIGGG hill! LOL! We came home for lunch and a nap, and then headed to the spray park. It was crazy busy, but lots of fun! And a perfect way to spend a few hours on a hot summer day! There's a dragon that "spits" water. Cal and Blake were playing around it, while Em and I were off somewhere else. Blake wanted me to come see it, so Cal took Em and I walked over there with Blake. When we were walking over I asked him if we were going to see the dragon and he said, "Dinosaur actually." Kinda like, "Duh Mom!?" It was so funny!! He's also using the work "kinda" a lot these days! "I kinda want to play trucks." "I kinda want Dad to sit there." etc, etc, etc! So funny! We lazed around the house this morning and then met my parents at Costco, went to Applebee's for supper and then they came over afterwards for a visit and to plan our groceries for our upcoming vacation! Cal and I cleaned the trailer this evening and started packing up! There's a lot to pack!!! But at least we've started ...

This week is going to go by fast. Monday Blake starts another semester of My First Preschool at the YMCA. Monday evening a lady who has a pet sitting service is coming over to meet us and Jazz - she will be visiting with Jazz while we're gone this time and while we're in Vegas! Tuesday we are going to the zoo with Lesley, Colby, Renee, Kaeden and Cohen. Cal is going to the farm Wednesday after work to help his Dad and brother with some things around there and at some point Blake and I need hair cuts!! And of course we need to finish shopping and packing for holidays! We're leaving for Jasper Friday morning. I can't wait!!!! I'm (we're) going to have a great time! So long as I can let go and relax and realize that some days the kids won't have their regular naps!!!! LOL!

Have a great week everyone! Stay cool, looks like it's going to be a HOT week!! And if you're looking forward to the kids going back to school - enjoy ;)
