Memorial Catch-Up

I'm a few days behind...

WARNING: Picture Overload!!

{Believe me...I cut out a lot!}

Last Wednesday Pierce had his field day at school!

Nice form:)

Friends!!

**FRIDAY**

I took a vacation day on Friday and a friend and I had a spa day!

We went to La James in Iowa City and had an hour massage, a facial (AWESOME!), manicure, pedicure, shampoo and style!

It was a nice, relaxing day and we'll go back for the massage and facials again soon!!

Friday night we were driving around and saw my cousin Jenna had a front porch full of people so we stopped by!

That's the great thing about a small town and family...there's always someone around!

My cousin Tracey was home from Canada so it was nice to see her and her family!

We did some front porch sitt'n:)

**SATURDAY**

The weather was sh*tty ALL weekend...seriously, it rained ALL weekend!

We weren't doing much around the house so we decided to head to Walmart and do a big grocery trip!

You know, that's always fun in the rain!

Rewind a minute..... We've been wanting a new patio set so I put our old one up for sale on Facebook and sold it within hours!

Here's the old....

 Back to our Walmart trip....

We decided to take a look at their patio sets and this was the first one we saw and loved it!

My OCD husband couldn't let it sit in boxes so he put it together as soon as we got home.

Unfortunately it sat in the garage for a few days until there was a break in the damn rain!

But we got it out!

We still haven't enjoyed it though:(

Some of you might be thinking, I really like the old patio set...why are you getting rid of it!

Believe me I loved it too....but it was bar height (Travis doesn't like bar height) and the cushions, although super cute, always flew off and we were always chasing them.

Now we can enjoy a bigger table with six chairs and we won't have to run after flying cushions:)

 Saturday night we declared as appetizer/bubble bath(for the boys)/movie night!

 The boys have been introduced to our jet tub in the master bathroom and now they are obsessed with it!

 Noth'n says Saturday night like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

**SUNDAY**

Once again....crappy, rainy weather!

We planned to go to the zoo but that didn't happen.

Luckily I didn't tell the kids so they weren't bummed when it didn't happen!

We did however take the boys to their first movie...Epic.

This was the only picture I got in the theater...

They did great...much to my surprise!

I, however, had to pick my jaw up off the floor after hearing how much we spent!

Good grief....why is it so expensive?!

It cost $54 for all of us to go!

We won't be back for a while;)

We had friends over Sunday night for supper and adult beverages:)

**MONDAY**

 Memorial Day

We attended Memorial Day services in Holbrook, as we do every year!

If you don't take part in any service I highly encourage you to!  It's a very neat thing!

My mom had us all over for lunch and I made my mom's famous pasta salad!

I LOVE this salad!!

It makes a big batch and it screams my name from the fridge all day!!

My dad made homemade chocolate ice cream so the kids enjoyed that!

 And of course...it wouldn't be a family get together without Phase 10!

We had a great supper at my in-laws Monday night then headed on home!

Travis got a wild hair and decided our carpets needed shampooed!

I was not going to disagree and let him go to town!

It's like a whole new living room with white, fluffy carpet!

Travis is the best:)

****************************************

Another crazy, but short week!

My friend Stacy and I had a Thirty One and Scentsy party Tuesday night.

Pierce had his first T-ball game Tuesday night (pics to come later).

Women's golf tonight...please, no rain!!

Spray tans Thursday night.

Travis starts slow-pitch softball Thursday night.

Off Friday to head to Southwest Iowa for my cousins wedding!

I hope you all have a great Wednesday!!
