Weekend

I had a great weekend. My sister Kacey and her family came into town for a visit. She has three kids, Isaac (4), Daniel (3), and Ella (11 mo). We honestly didn't do a whole lot, (they were in town for a wedding) but I took Friday off of work to hang out with them. I'm telling you, I seriously don't know how you mothers out there with 2 or more kids do it. I wish I had pictures to show of their sweet little faces but sadly, we still haven't got a new camera yet...still waitin for that tax return. Kacey took some pictures, so maybe if she can spare two minutes of her day, (which I realize might be hard) she might send me some. :)

On Friday night we had a ward Elders Quorum activity. It was an adult version of Pinewood Derby. The rules were...anything you want but NO FIRE. So that gave a lot a freedom right? We were totally thinking "this is going to be fun to watch, who knows what people will bring!?" Well, for Mike's car (he actually made it a couple years ago for a similar activity) he had it all decked out painted red and black, and he stuck a couple heavy magnets on the sides for weight. Well, since there basically was no rules he also made a slingshot to go with it. Some would call that cheating but it was playing by the "rules". Well, we showed up and looked around at the competition...wow. This is about how creative it got: One man took his block of wood, attached the wheels, and had his daughter write "Go Daddy Go" on the top of it. We were shocked. Can they not do better than that? Needless to say...Mike kicked butt and won 1st place. I know...hard to beat "Go Daddy Go". We had a good laugh about it though. Maybe next year the other guys will remember Mike and try a little harder.

Saturday night we rented Planet Earth. I HIGHLY recommend it. Its an AMAZING movie about you guessed it...the earth. We only watched the 1st episode (out of 11) but we bought the whole set this morning because its so dang cool.

Anyways, that was about it. I'm back at work now, ready to take on another busy week.
