WEEKEND UPDATE

Weekends get a little busy around here...and this weekend was no exception. But thankfully, we found a lot of time to be together and we certainly enjoyed each others company!

Friday night Jared and I got out for "date night." I really look forward to our dates. It's fun being with Jared and remembering why I fell in love with him.
He makes me laugh.
I am happy because we found a great new babysitter that the boys and I just looove. She's a real sweetie.
Oh how I love my husband! Instead of mountain biking early Saturday morning like he has been doing every weekend, he went and picked up our Bountiful Basket. Oh, you haven't heard of it? Check out their website at www.bountifulbaskets.org; letting me and the boys sleep in. He didn't stop there....he suggested I get out and ride my bike for an hour in the afternoon because he knows I am stressing about my triathlon next month! BTW, riding my bike has become a new favorite! I had to include some pictures of me with all my biking gear. Gotta love the camel back. Not pictured: my riding gloves and the new shorts Jared got me with the padded bum.

After that we loaded in the car, stopped to grab some lunch and went swimming! Jared gave me some swimming lessons since I'll have to swim .5 miles for that darn triathlon! I really am excited about it...but also really nervous! I feel so unprepared! Wyatt was so, so excited to swim. Luke, well not so much. He clung tight to me. I don't blame him. It was a little chilly. It was supposed to be heated! This was Levi's first taste of swimming...and from what we could see, he thought it was great! The water temp. didn't seem to bother him at all. My favorite part? The hot tub of course.

Later, after we showered and cleaned up, we loaded back into the car for a yummy dinner at Joe's Farm Grill for my sis-in-law's birthday. Mmm. Thanks Jenny for having a birthday! On our way home I was telling Jared about these really cute shoes I wanted. Well, what do you think he said?..."Why don't you go get them?" Really??, I said. But, I didn't wait for a reply. I was out the door leaving him to put the boys in bed. Love him. And my new shoes.
My most favorite thing these days is to be all together as a family. It doesn't matter if we are simply going to the store or out to eat. I am happiest when we are all together.
And that's our weekend update.
