Labor Day weekend

The weekend began at Thanksgiving Point. Trey, Storm, Mimi, & Bobba went around looking at the animals, feeding the animals, going on the wagon ride, eating our lunch, and then the fun finale of riding horses. Trey loved it and keep saying "this is cool" I haven't been out there for awhile and had forgotten how fun it is.

Friday I went to the Storytelling Festival with Trevor and his class. Of course I had a good time. It reminded me of all the Festivals of the past that I have enjoyed. Adding Trevor to the memory mix made it even better.

On Saturday, I went to my cousin Anne's bridal shower. I am so excited for her. I just love showers. There is all this happiness, love, excitement for the future, and family connection. She has met the love of her life and it was great to hear about how they met, their dates, and what the future holds. I just forgot to ask how he proposed. It was fun to see everyone and get a tour of my Aunts gorgeous new home.
On Saturday night, Mimi and Bobba took Kelsey Todd Storm and our family out to eat. Eric returned the favor Sunday by treating everyone to dinner at our house. He really went crazy with good food. He made the bacon jalapeno dip, his ciabatta bread, steak, salmon with honey mustard citrus glaze, grilled veg, rice, and my mom brought a delicious strawberry salad. On Monday we worked around our home and in the yard and then I went with two friends to see The Help. I am going to see that again. WOW. I really loved that book and I felt the same about the movie. Perfectly cast. Great weekend!! Glad to see so much family. It doesn't happen as often as I wish so when it does it is awesome.

Look at this face. How did I feel when he left for his first day of preschool today? Sad. Very sad. My baby is gone to school and my home is incredibly silent. I am just telling the truth. It is sad. Hope everyone had a great weekend and that no one except me is having a sad Tuesday:)
