Mother's Day Weekend 2009

What a fabulous weekend! It was Troy's weekend off too, which made it even better. On Friday we had Melissa, Jer and the kids, LaRue and Gary over for a BBQ. Hunter and TJ love playing with their cousins. While getting ready for bed, the boys brought me cute little sacks they had decorated at daycare. This is what I found inside . . .

A hand painted pot by Hunter with flowers he planted himself . . .

Here is the flower pot that TJ painted and planted, notice the cute little sack it came in . . .

Hunter is as bad as Troy about keeping secrets, here is the darling magnet he made at pre-school and gave to me on Thursday after school . . .

Before our BBQ Friday night Troy spent the day putting in fence posts for the back yard. Saturday morning after we all slept in a bit, Troy was outside putting up the wood slats to enclose our yard. It looks so nice. Updated pictures will be coming soon I promise!

Saturday night we headed to the Logan Derby. Troy worked in the pit for some friends while the boys and I hung out in the stands. It was the cheapest date I had been on in a long time. Our friend had passes for Troy and I, TJ was free and Hunter was $4 bucks! I couldn't have asked for better kids, they were so good and we had a wonderful time! In heat 3 a muscle car (#28) came out and all of us thought, this car is going to take it . . .

Well looks are not everything, because here is the car upside down after just three hits . . .
The boys loved it, they thought it was so cool! The Sheriff was handing out "junior deputy stickers" to the kids. TJ's stayed on all night long! LOL! While being at home with Troy, Hunter earned $5 helping pick up dog poop. Of course there is always silly gadgets to buy, so Hunter used his money (with a little bit of hlep from mom) and bought a Spider Man light necklace, of course little brother wanted one too! They love them!

The boys were up bright and early Sunday morning, even after being out late Saturday night. LOL! That's okay we all enjoyed the morning, Troy cooked us breakfast, then we headed outside to enjoy the sunshine. Right after lunch the boys took a nap so they were pleasant for Grandma Sue and Grandpa Steve's visit that afternoon.

We needed a cheese grater a few weekends ago but I didn't have one (I always buy shredded cheese), thanks to my cute parents I have one now! I want to take a minute and thank my cute mom! She is wonderful, caring, loving and the best mom/grandma we could ask for! We love you very much!

After dinner on Sunday, Hunter decided that he wanted to try and ride his bike without training wheels, he did so good! He was so excited! Of course he only wants dad's help riding his bike, that's okay with me, whatever he is comfortable with works for me! I couldn't have asked for a better weekend!
