Weekend (in reverse order)

Well, this post is going to be in reverse order b/c I messed up my pictures... blogger picture upload is ridiculous!

Sunday morning we went to church and then headed to Jasper to eat at Applebee's w/ Ryan's parents. We hadn't had anything for Ryan's birthday or my birthday so we had dinner for one of ours... we still can't pick whose it was for :) Doesn't matter b/c we both like the place! Ryan did pick it though! After lunch we went home and swam all afternoon. I was exhausted by the time we got out, but it was nice that the pool was finally warmer! We went to Rich and Melissa's after supper to visit for awhile... Greg and Lela and Shawn and Audrey and the girls came too. Brycen enjoyed playing w/ Isaac, as usual. We got home and had to go to bed right away b/c Brycen had to get up on Monday bright and early for his first day at his new pre-school (post on that to come later!).

Saturday morning we slept in a bit since we had a late night the night before. When we got up Ryan had to go to Montgomery to help his dad put electric fence around the big corn patch at the cabinet shop so the coons wouldn't get it. They worked on it ALL day long... I was excited to wake up feeling NOT nauseated! Yay! It lasted all day long too! I got my whole house clean and all my laundry done and still felt great! I was so excited! Tired though! lol. Brycen and I then just layed around in the pool... well okay, I layed in the pool and Brycen jumped around :) Then he played outside and I watched him and read some. Our back deck gets a great breeze and my swing is hung up back there so I love sitting there and reading!

Brycen loves this tree- it's short and great for a little climber :)
I asked him if he was a monkey... he said, "no, i'm a sloth!"... yah, someone had to explain that to me. It's off Ice Age I guess!

He plays like this for hours :)

Saturday evening we decided to head to Washington and go to the block party! My parents were working a popcorn booth and we thought B would enjoy it! It was fun! Brycen loved looking at all the old cars and enjoyed the toys, popcorn, and a snowcone :) can't say I didn't enjoy those things either-- well with the exception of the toys :)

Brycen waiting in line to do the race bouncy thing. Maybe I'm just a proud mom, but he is so patient and good about waiting his turn- other children I saw, not so much! I feel bad for him b/c he just lets kids cut in front of him. I tell him he doesn't have to let them, because I don't want him to be a pushover, but I am proud of him that he doesn't act like that! (okay sorry for the bragging!)

he loved this-- he did it about 3 or 4 times in a row!

the bouncy house :) he also had fun in this!

After the block party we headed to Mi Pueblo to eat supper! YUM! Plus, we had a gift certificate from Christmas that we kept forgetting to use everytime we were there so we used that, score! I even had some yummy fried ice cream! Ryan and B don't like it b/c of the coconut stuff in it so I didn't even have to share ;)
Trying to take a picture with my baby boy, but he is more into making "mean" faces now!
I think he's still pretty cute though!

After Mi Pueblo we had to make our weekly Wal-Mart trip... I won't go on and complain like I do every week, but just say I was glad to get it done!

Friday evening my parents, Ryan, B, and I piled in Ryan's truck and went to Owensboro to meet the Hamilton's for supper. We had to pick up some furniture I was storing at their house that I had got at the Executive Inn-Owensboro sale and we thought it was a good excuse to get together! I miss these people like crazy! They are my second family. We ate on an outdoor patio-- it was good food and we had so much fun!
Ryan and B waiting on our food :)
Olivia Brooke, me, Erin Marie, and Brycen Hunter :) Aunt Olivia and Aunt Erin loveee B and the feeling is mutual!

Mel and B at Chilly Billy's... it was a snowcone place-- YUM!
They bought a really really old house on the river and are restoring it (it's amazing!)... but they have SPIDERS! Brycen was hunting the spiders down (with Aunt Jordan's headband that he at first thought was a spider trap!)
I think he looks like rambo... :)

He takes his job very seriously :)

Hank got caught licking B's face!

We had such a fun evening, but on the way home we got caught by an accident so it was really late when we made it home to our beds! I hadn't been up that late in a longggg time!

It was a great weekend! It was the first weekend in a couple of months that I have felt like doing much of anything or actually enjoyed what we did and felt good! I am so thankful for finally feeling better! Our next couple weekends are busy too... I know I'm going to be worn out, but they are things I can't skip out on like showers, bachelorette dinners, wedding rehersals, and weddings! It is mostly all things I am looking forward to though!
