Home feels nice...

It was nice to spend time with my family but I am glad we are home. We (the kids and I) are very spoiled to have a Daddy that works hard and that his job allows for me to be with our babies. This is where the disadvantage comes in. Since he works hard, he doesn't get to do all the fun things with us. We went without him this weekend and it was nice to come to his handsome face.




The kids had a great time with their Great-Papa and Great-Grandma. I am glad we made the trip up because they aren't getting any younger and grandma is having some (lots) of memory problems. We did have fun playing cards and just getting to visit. that is what my dad's family does when they get together, play cards. For the adults it is always rummy because that it what Grandma likes to play but when the kids play it is Fish or Old Maid. Kennedy was excited I took some pictures but not as many as I had planned on because I had to write a paper while I was there. We stayed at a newer hotel in Gardnerville and it was in the historical district, so you will never guess what I was surrounded by. Of course antique shops! I was in heaven just walking down the street. I had to settle for window shopping because my children didn't want to and there wasn't enough time. Here are some pictures of the kids I took on the side of the antique shop that was next to our hotel...








My cousin Brent has a backhoe and other construction type equipment at his house and he took Brendan over to ride in the backhoe. Well that was the plan anyway, when Brent started to engine it scared Mr. B and he wanted to get out. He did raise the arm of the scoop first. Once he was out and the engine was off he was very excited. He went back to my aunt's house, where the family was having a BBQ, and told everyone he rode the backhoe and it was cool! Little did they know!



So it's back to the craziness I call my life. We have to birthday celebrations this week, 1 graduation, school for Mama and soccer starts for Kennedy. I need a vacation!
