A week behind.....

 

Last Saturday seems like forever ago!! Since we recently were 'reunited' with my dad's siblings we have had the opportunity to get together with them for different things over the last 12 months. Saturday my parents had 35 of us over for food, chatting and hanging out. It was a good time! It is so nice to sit down and talk to these family members and get to know them better!

Then Presley had her first swim lessons of the season that evening....she did good! She just needs a little more confidence to get her back and front float down! Then we had another night in and watched the movie Home with some popcorn.

Sunday I got up and went to work for a couple hours, knowing I needed to get in some overtime anyway. Then we hung out at home, did some cleaning and got ready for our night out! Garth Brooks! We met mom and Susie at Saints for dinner and drinks and then headed downtown for the show. As always he puts on an AMAZING show!! This is my 4 time seeing him and he never disappoints!

Even Dallas Clark from the Hawkeyes and the Indianapolis Colts got up and sang a song with him...it was really fun to watch!

Tuesday I put in some extra hours at work to get more of my OT in and got home in time to help put the kids to bed. Wednesday Piper and I went to El Mariachi for chips and salsa, it is one of the highlights of her week (and mine too!) Then we had some time to play outside before Presley and Steve got home from gymnastics. These nights are always a little challenging b/c Presley doesn't have time to do the things she normally does b/c she doesn't get home until almost 7. Then she freaked out b/c it was my night to put Piper to bed and she had hardly seen me in 2 days! :(

Thursday I met Holly and Samantha out to go over the plans for our part in the talent show for our family reunion this summer! Oh we are talented, let me tell ya! And again I got home in time to help with bed time.

Friday morning Generation Next had Muffins with Mom for Mother's Day and we were lucky enough to see Grandma there and have our picture taken with her! Love it!

Last night we decided to hit up Prairie Meadows to watch the horse races since the weather was nice. We put down the top on the Jeep and headed out there. We ate dinner, did some small bets, watched a couple races and headed home about 8:30.
