Home again, home again, jiggety jig.

After a wonderful trip back to Utah to visit with family, and pick up puppies, we started this week off a day short. The kids returned back to school on Tuesday, and the rest of us tried to return to our crazy version of normal. Here it is another Saturday, and I'm not sure what happened to this week. Has it really gone by so fast?

Let's see..

  • On Monday we had a great drive home. It's been forever since we've tried to make it all in one shot, but with the puppies we really couldn't break up the trip. It was wonderful. We stopped every 2-3 hours for a 15 minute break, and the kids got out of their seats and were able to stretch their legs. We had lunch at a cute park in Mesquite, and dinner at a not so cute park in Rancho Cucamonga. The entire trip took about 12 hours, about 2 hours longer than normal, but we arrive home happy, which was worth every stop!!

  • Tuesday, we enjoyed wonderful food as we celebrated Cinco de Mayo. I so love carnitas, and super tasty guacamole. We also were blessed with a new little cousin for the kids. My brother and his wife welcomed their first baby, Grady Dylan later that evening.

  • Wednesday brought beautiful sunny weather and catching up on laundry. For scouts that afternoon the boys enjoyed playing in the surf and sand as they boogie boarded, skim boarded and surfed.

  • Thursday brought more suuny weather and the kids and I enjoyed watermelon outside while they and the puppy ran through the sprinklers.

  • Friday, really already? I thought it would be fun to plan a trip to Disneyland after Dave's work. He took off a little early and we spent the evening at California Adventure. We had a great, relaxing time. It seemed that most of the crowds were at D-land, so we enjoyed some short lines, and had fun running around and some great family time.

  • Saturday has barely begun, but we have lots in store. Mommy will start the day with a pedicure (Mother's Day present) and then to enjoy a family birthday for Caleb. Filled with the zoo, railroad, and maybe even a pony ride. More on that later!! There are balloons to get, a Wall-E cake to make and some picking up to do before our visitors arrive, better get goin'
