Weekend Report

Grant ran his heart out at his fun run on Friday afternoon.  His bright red face was a little bummed when I told him that we'd walked to the school to watch him and that we would be walking back home.  He was so tired!  Maybe I'll drive next time.  :)

But, he did make this great collection of cool tree parts while we took our time walking home.  All the kids took turns piling on the jogging stroller, convinced that their legs couldn't take them another step.  Oh boy, it was pretty pathetic really.

I went through all of the older boys clothes and got their closets set up with winter clothes, leaving all of the shorts in their drawers because the weather is still so warm.  Then I made a list of the few things we need to go buy for them.  Brett is so excited to have new clothes to choose from.

I also got all of the windows washed, inside and out.  That was a task and a half and took a bit longer than I thought it would.  I was pretty sore and tired after that, but I love looking out my sparkling windows now!

We took the kids on a family date on Saturday night.  First stop was the tennis courts.

Brett mostly wanted to climb this fun tree.  (see him there in the middle)

Camille's first tennis lesson.

And....swing!

We got Brett down from that tree for a while to get his own little lesson too.  Isn't he so cute?!

Camille got a little tired by the end.

Keith really wanted to end the night with a drive by the temple.  So I drove us there while he fed Tyler a bottle in the back.  After I stopped to take a few pictures, I looked in the back of the van and Keith was totally asleep!  Ha!  He'd had a busy day too and the drive really lulled him to sleep!  

The kids really loved seeing the temple.  We drove through the parking lot around it with the windows down.  The weather was perfect!  We talked with the kids a little about why we have temples, what we do when we go there, and how much we love the temple.  It was a nice chat!

I love this side of the temple with all of the water flowing down!

Ty wore his cute suit to church.  Our friends grandson had a matching suit, but they had to leave early so we didn't get a picture of the two of them.  

I spent a good chunk of time on Sunday afternoon holding this sleeping boy.  It was the best!  Everyone left me alone and I just enjoyed some quiet time with him.  He's just growing so fast and pretty soon I won't be doing this anymore!

We went to Keith's parent's house for dessert and a nice visit last night and now we are off to a new week!
