Whata Weekend & a Winner!

We had a wonderful weekend.

Friday night we met up with the Garretts for some yummy pizza at Park West and even yummier ice cream afterwards! The kids ran around outside in the grass area/fountains while we visited under the big ramada! It was such a nice evening, beautiful weather and special friends!

Saturday was spent at gymnastics in the morning with Lola, as usual, but it was bring a friend week, so Jayla joined us! Then we were off to Xavier's game in the late morning. He played in north Phoenix, so we decided to go visit Brion's grave since we were so close. We haven't been there in a long time, it was nice to go see him as a family and talk about our favorite times with him. Candis and Michael live very close to the cemetery, so we headed to their place next to say hello and to drop off Michael's sunglasses! I swear anytime he is over at our house he leaves them here! Oh well, gives us a good excuse to meet up, even if it is just for a little while! After that, I met up with Chad's mama to go see a movie, The Last Song. It was just like I thought it would be, although different from the book, I did like it a lot. Without giving it away, just wanna say that it hits close to home, very close, and tears were shed. Then it was off to snuggle my kiddos at home for the rest of the night!

Sunday it was Kyan and Chad's turn to see a movie and they headed off early to watch How to Train Your Dragon on the IMAX in 3D! So cool! Chad said that Kyan kept trying to grab things it felt so real! Lola and I met up with them at West Gate after! The kids ran around in the fountains, we ate lunch, and window shopped! The kiddos went home with daddy and I headed to the grocery store! We spent the rest of the afternoon doing laundry and cleaning the kids closets (Amy and Evy we have another box coming your way!!!). I could only handle doing theirs, however, mine NEEDS a good cleaning too! Maybe next week!

And now the winner of the MAC makeup - Mande at HarrisonLane blog! Congratulations!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend! I am counting down the days until summer vacation!

OMG!! I just left a comment and something happened. UGH!!!

Anyway...

I am so happy we got to see you guys, not only once, but twice, WAHOOOO!! The kids were so funny in the water. We should plan a dinner/night at westgate next time so they don't get yelled at for playing in their water-HA! What a great weekend. Jayla and I really miss the little gym. Hopefully soon we can afford to join you guys permanently.

I'm glad you got to see that movie. I expect details on our next moring chat!!

I too am counting down the days til summer vacation, even though mine won't be much of a vacation. I better see you Roselands in my pool every day ;)
