Memorial Day Weekend

Three days can really fly by fast when I am having fun and not thinking of work! I stayed close to home Friday night- just enjoying quiet time and getting ready for the weekend. On Saturday morning however, I was up and running early.... not literally but figuratively! I left the house pretty early, and stopped off at Lynn's house to see her new baby kittens. See my previous blog to know what I am talking about. They are sooooooo cute!!!

Then off to Pleasanton I went to spend the weekend with Brooke and her family. Right after I got there - Chris and MJ came over too. It was great to visit with them.... McKenzie and MJ finally warmed up to each other and had fun in the back yard, He just turned 2 and is such a funny little guy!! It is a great thing for me to share being a grandparent with my friends that are grandparents too. We can relate on a whole new level! I didn't get any pictures while they were there- just got caught up in the moment and forgot!

Saturday night Brooke and Evan went out and I stayed with the girls. I love just hanging out with them- even if it gets a little crazy at times. Sunday we went to church and then over to Kathy and Dan's for dinner. They had their 3 grandchildren there- and as usual it was controlled chaos!!! Today, being Memorial Day, we started out with a holiday breakfast at Pleasanton Second Ward! Brooke and Evan are on the Activities Committee so they had to be there early to set up. I came a little later with the girls to a great breakfast of eggs, pancakes and bacon. The weather was perfect and we ate outside where all the tables were set up.

Getting ready was pretty funny with McKenzie-- she is in this phase of not wanting to be "pretty" but wanting to be "Cool". How in the world does a 3 year old know what it is to be cool??????? But actually she does a pretty good job of being cool, as far as 3 year olds go!! And Brynn is so funny! She makes a funny little sound when she is hungry. She is very vocal and expressive! And her giggle is to die for... She does a great job doing her "tricks"- waving bye bye, answering the phone by putting her hand up to her ear when you say"hello?", gives kisses and hugs upon request, and squeals with delight whenever McKenzie comes into her line of sight!

And I digress--- after a nap we all went off to the mall- along with a gazillion other people! After a couple of hours I finally had to head for the Capital City. The last few hours of my 3 day break I was able to talk to Ian and his family. Reagan has 2 weeks of 1st grade left and is really excited for summer. Jenna had her ballet recital last week, and told me about their friends that came over for a barbeque today. I miss them sooooo much!!!! A few more family and friends phone calls was a perfect way to end my weekend!
