perfect weekend

hot hot weather. kate loved the pool! (i had just gotten in...tiny bit chilly.)
got to hang out with our favorite boy.

fun evening out with our little munchy at the spectrum. she loved the "Big Wheel".
how cute is this face?

target to look at car seats, pick up some new "nummies" (binkies), and a ride on dad's shoulders.my sister's family surprised us at church to listen to our dad speak. we spent the afternoon in the backyard, playing ping pong, playing on the rope swing, and drinking orange julious. does it get any better?
and matt and I even got to sneak out for a romantic dinner one night! i would like to repeat that weekend every week.

last week

This little girl turned 3 and we had a little tea party to celebrate. Girls only. (Notice the boys outside)

Kate was a little lady at her first tea party and loved the decor.
We rode our bikes to the Swallow's Day Parade...
Kate didn't like the tamales. HA! But we did!
And the roasted corn.
We met Matt at the beach for lunch
We don't usually kiss like ducks.
We also have my cousins in town, and my little brother and his two friends made a surprise visit home. It was a FULL house!
Fun week!

Fun Weekend

This weekend was just what I needed. Lots of Matt, lots of Kate, relaxing, old friends, and a good party.

Friday night we put Kate down and sneaked off to the movies. We saw Eagle Eye, it was pretty good. But even better were the free tickets we were given for sitting down in wet seats.

Miss Andrea is now a Mrs. We went to San Diego on Saturday night for her amazing reception. It was absolutely beautiful. There was a post card on each place setting with a personal message to each guest from Andrea. There were 300 guest. Hello! She looks stunning and so happy. It was SO GOOD to see my friends. It has been way to long. My best friend Jenna came and staid with us on Saturday night and it was so much fun. Thanks for teaching my the duck walk Jenna! Kate misses you!

Sunday I drove Jenna to the airport (sniff sniff) and then went to church. After church we had a family dinner. It was so good to see my niece and handsome nephews. We had a yummy dinner and went for a walk after. I love my family.

Such a good weekend. Need more like these.

Buen fin de semana

On Friday we found out our friend's baby they are adopting was going to be born, so we watched their girls so they could get on the road to see their baby! So exciting!

Saturday morning Matt and Kate went on a walk while I got to sleep in! I think this might need to be a tradition! Then we went to the pool. We took Kate in the water for the first time! I think she liked it! It was a tinsy bit cold, but she didn't cry.



Then we had a fiesta with our Spanish Branch. It was really fun! We rented The Kite Runner Saturday night (I love Red Box). It was really good, but of course the book was better. It is one of those movies you don't want to watch twice because it is sad and disturbing, but I think it is good to remind ourselves what is going on in our world, even if it is not pleasant. We talked after it was over about how lucky we are to live in this country and have the freedom that we take for granted. I think having a child totally changes how you view the world and make me so much more aware of the evils that we need to protect our children from.

Sunday we went to church. I am in Young Womens again and love it! I am so excited. We ended the weekend at my parents for a yummy dinner and some ping pong. I am not going to lie, I am pretty good. (but my Mom and Matt are better.)

*Funny how this blog not longer has pictures of Matt and I. Only baby. She is the one you guys want to see anyway!
