Weekend Wanderings

We are at the close of another fun filled weekend. Friday night Brad was a very good sport and went shopping with me. My work is having our summer BBQ this coming Friday, so we have been shopping for games, prizes, etc.. People at Costco thought we were having one hell of a pool party! I bought 25 beach towels for prizes for the kids. But I am happy to say I have everything in order until I go food shopping on Friday morning.

Saturday I picked up Myles in SLC from his YMCA Summer Camp. He had an absolute blast and cant wait to go again next year. He is supposed to get some pictures emailed to him, so I will insert those ASAP. While in SLC we got a little head start on school shopping. We went to the Nordstrom Rack and had a fun time picking out clothes. He is definitely acquiring his own taste, but it is still manageable. I do have to toot my own horn and say the first thing he chose to wear from the new clothes is the shirt I picked out. So good old Mom's taste isn't too bad yet! :)

Saturday night we had two neighbor couples over for games and strawberry shortcake (yum!!). We had a great time playing and getting to know our neighbors better. We have lived here a year and this is the first time we have had our next door neighbors over! Hopefully we can all get together again soon. (At Jack & Jill's next time, right Becky!)

This evening we drove up to Murray to pick up Shakierra. So since we were going that way we figured we would hit the dog park. Well the dang park was closed (who knew they could have operating hours at a Park?). So we improvised and took the dogs to a school instead. They had a blast running and chasing birds. They are both past out right now, so the running did them good :)

We got the kids to bed early tonight (little whiny butts!) and then Brad and I watched "Dear Frankie". It was really good, a little sad, but a sweet movie. Hopefully we can make it to see the new Batman movie sometime this week. Did anyone see it, how was it?!?!?
