Our Busy Weekend!

Mom and Dad arrived Thursday night...just in time for dessert and the girls' bedtime. Which is good because as everyone knows, it's much better to be tucked in by Grandma than by Mom.

Friday - what did we do Friday? I can't remember. People who were in town trickled in to visit here and there. Then we all went out to dinner at Red Rock Station...good food crappy service.
Oh - I took Brooklynn to get shots. Except that she had a fever...her ear infection was back...and she didn't get shots, just stronger drugs.

Saturday we were up bright and early to go run our race. We did a mud run in Summerlin, and it was so much fun!

Saturday night was a party for my brother at Donna's house. 3 of my 4 brother's were there which was cool, considering we all live in different states...we except for me and Chad.

wow, he's old


Alison made Uncle Jeff a lion mask for a birthday present...

A friend of a friend thought the party was for a 4 yr old...rather than a 40 yr old :o)



Sunday was Brooklynn's party 2 of 2. I was stressed out because there were so many more people than I had originally planned for...but then 13 people no showed. seriously 13. whatever

She was not happy when I decided she had had enough

all clean...bath in the kitchen sink

and somehow, even though it was Brooklynn's birthday, Alison got a new bike!

Monday - Mom and I ran to Joann for their memorial day sale, then Brian and I went to the movies while Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Sue babysat the monkeys.

And everyone left on Tuesday :o(

  7. that mud run looks like it was fun.

    i'm glad brooklynn loved her cake. thanks again for the invitation. we all had a good time.

    p.s. i hate to admit this, but i think madi took "her share" of the lemonade stand money. so, tell alison, madi owes her.
