i had a great long weekend. probably one of the best in a long time. actually, it started friday, which was my birthday. carolyn and i met at the temple and did a session together while arlin and diana watched the kids. i really needed that because the last time i did a session was i think when i was about 7 months pregnant with the twins. she took me to lunch after at tahoe joe's and we chatted and had a great lunch. it's always great to see her and we don't get to see each other much since we live farther apart now.
after i finally got home around 1:30 i started thinking about getting ready to go to tulare. paul and i had tickets reserved to see the Wizard of Oz at Encore Theatre in Tulare. it was a great play and JD Casey and Kelsey Davisson did such a fantastic job. really, all the leads were great, and it was an enjoyable time. rachel was so sweet and bought me a cupcake at the theater for my birthday.
mom and chuck watched the kids while we went to the play and when we came back, there was a cake. so, i got to blow out some candles for my birthday and further ruin my diet with a piece of super rich german chocolate cake.
saturday was mostly a veg day, then paul took me out to dinner to celebrate my birthday. we had a great time and really needed the alone time. things have been kinda crazy around here with all the little kiddies we have to take care of.
sunday was basically a regular sunday, which we both needed.
then monday, the partying began! there was a ward party at 11:00 in the church's park. we had a chili cook-off (for which i got to be a judge) and a bake-off. i submitted g-ma's rocky road fudge. it didn't win, but i didn't care, i got to eat some and it was so good! directly after we finished that shindig we headed over to the lathrop's for swimming BBQ and fun. It was such a fun, relaxing day. keith had a great time in the pool and alexa took to the water just like last year, but with even more enthusiasm! it looks like she will be my more adventurous one, at least for now. hard to say how the twins will be yet. she was unhappy when we had to take her out because her teeth were chattering. keith got in and out pretty much all day and really enjoyed himself.
i'm so excited for summer. more swimming, games, friends and fun!
i didn't see as many flags out flying as i would've like to, but I'M grateful for Memorial Day and for all the men and women that have given us a need to have Memorial Day. you are all great people and i can't thank you enough for serving me and this country.
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!
