Labor day weekend

Well I may have to add on to this later but we have been having to much fun not to share!! We started out on Friday with a surprise from Stevan that he didn't have to work WHOO HOOO!! So we are so grateful for an even extra long weekend. We went into town and did shopping and that sort of thing returned to the scene of the crime (our wedding) lol while I did my dad's bills...then we headed back home to pretty much turn around and drive back to Nampa for dinner at the Olive Garden (yum!!!!) with Stevan's parents they took us out for our anniversary. on the way there we were met with a HUGE dust storm mixed with heavy heavy rain it was kinda scary YIKES!!

Saturday started out nice with a beautifully cooked banana pancake that Brendon made with me I love cooking with my kids and they love love love cooking! They are really good at it..hey I have to give them something to impress the ladies with later on and a man in the kitchen is pretty cute! We then had a combined effort of cleaning the house which always makes me happy. My best friend Sara came over to go bike riding and just hang out...well when she got here we made clam chowder from Mo's restaurant while we made salsa from my garden which was DELICIOUS! we ate so much we had to make 2 batches (oops) and then I can't figure out why my pants don't fit. Well then we decided it was time for a bike ride. My bike is actually Stevan's and is very uncomfortable to ride especially with a baby on the back. but I love to ride my bike so I make due.. well my wonderful husband said go to King's and buy the best bike you can get!! I love you and happy anniversary!!!! Let me tell you it made my day...on top of it he kept the kids and let Sara and I go and have an adventure by ourselves at the store..let me tell you it was an adventure..first we get back there and we are trying to get this bike down mind you both of us, together, laughing so hard because we can't get one little bike down so we go look for help and this little lady comes over and takes the bike down like it's a feather needless to say we both felt a little dumb I have no clue how she did that! So then of course the kid in me comes out and I have to ride my bike to the cash register...and when I get there this old man says nice bike Sara is just standing back there laughing her butt off good times!!!! When we got home my wonderful husband fixed my bike all up and put the baby seat on the new one and we went for a good 4 mile ride felt great...when we got back we decided to make brats and drink beer after all what is a brat without beer. =)

The boys had there dirt bikes out riding in the pasture so Sara and I decided to take a turn to and we had a blast ripping it up in the pasture. It was Sara's first time on a dirt bike and she caught on very quickly we were all going to go ride our dirt bikes up to Silver City the next day but we drank a lot of beers and nobody exactly got up on time ooops we will make up for it a different time. After dirt bike riding we went to the neighbors and had a bon fire. This has been a wonderful weekend I couldn't' ask for more. I am so appreciative to have such a wonderful family and wonderful friends!!! Tomorrow I am off to band practice wooo hoo will let you know how it goes!
