Holiday Weekend!

Memorial Day weekend....

also known as my birthday weekend......

consisted of Jacob going to Maddy's wedding in Utah, loosing my car key at Wal-Mart (and it was never found), and going for a run, falling and getting pretty scraped up.  Although it did have it's highlights.  There was a great BBQ at a friend's house and the kids all had friends over to play.

Kirsten has a fun group of girls from her primary class that live in the neighborhood.  They had a blast having a late night.  They really didn't want to go home....just yet.

My mom sent back to us some homemade raspberry jam (the tuperware broke in the cooler and this was what was salvaged),

and 80 pounds of her "homemade" beef.  The airlines lets you check on coolers as luggage so when you pay roughly $100 dollars to bring home 80 pounds of ground beef, steaks, and roasts, you can't go wrong!  McKay will be excited as she has told Grandma that store meat doesn't taste the same and she HATES browning store bought ground beef.

-MOVING PHASE UPDATE:  We are still moving with just a mini-van and a small trailer.  Its a little at a time but when you are able to move a load and unload the load to the place you want it, it makes a HUGE difference!
