"Napping" with Grandpa


The s'more from Friday night!! Yummy.

Playing at her big girl table!!

7am Pete and I started to wake up and we decided just the lay in bed and relax until we heard the little one. It was nice to be able to just lay around and not rush. I don't take enough time to do this!! I really need to :)

8am We finally get out of bed and Pete feds Makenzie while I showered. We were planning on leaving for Walmart around 8:30 to miss the rush, but Pete couldn't find the truck keys!! After a long time looking we finally leave at 9:30, lol.

9:30 We head off to the store to find some gates for the condo and to get some food. After we got back, Makenzie played while I started to clean and Pete hung curtains for the sliding glass entries. They turned out GREAT. He has really turned into a handy man... something I didn't think was possible,... ok, that sounds mean, but oh well. We put Mak down for a nap at 11am and I finished cleaning the whole place while he worked on some other things.

1pm I was finishing mopping the floor when Char walked in to see the baby. She offered to stay with her while we ran to Madison to get the gates that we couldn't find at Walmart. She also told us to go out to get dinner!! YAY. Yes... I have a wonderful mother in law and I know how blessed I am. We shopped and ate and had a great time. We just kept smiling at each other and laughing at how needed it was. We haven't gone out for a "date night" since she's been born!! To her credit, we really haven't felt the need to... but after Friday I needed it really bad.

7pm We made our way back to the condo very slowly and just enjoyed the peaceful ride. Once we got back we hung out with the Jensens and were happy to see our baby again. She stayed up until 9pm playing with Grandpa and her new shopping cart. I also got a padded foam thing for the patio outside that she loved. Pete put the first gate up but realized that the second was going to be a project so he decided to wait until the next day after church.

10pm We had a good time listening to stories about their most recent missionary trip and about the kids that we sponsor. They really want me to go with them on a trip so it wasn't a good idea for me to hear all those horror stories!! It's all worth it though. I know some day I'll go with Pete to see the place he loves so much. We finally ended the day... having NO IDEA that we would NOT be making it to church the next day... Mak slept until 11:15 the next afternoon... LOL.

We really enjoyed our weeked up in WI. We got to spend alot of time with Pete's family while still getting alot on our to-do list done. Even though the weather was yucky it allowed us to get some work done so that we can just go boating next weekend with Kim & Collin.
