We started our weekend a little early by going out to Latitude 41 on Thursday night with the girls to watch our friend Baird play guitar and sing there. It's on the water and like 5 minutes from our house. The girls love to feed the fish and even though the weather wasn't that great and was raining most of the time, we still went, hung out under the canopy, ate dinner and then headed home about 7. Perfect! We'll definitely be going out there again when he or his other band Oreo Meatwagon play! Check out their calendar (or Facebook!) and join us sometime!
Friday night Steve got some guys together to go tear down, haul and put back together a swingset that he found on Craigslist. Ours was old and was falling apart, it has been moved twice and the wood was splitting out and it was just NOT sturdy enough for our kids as they get older. He got a good deal on it and was willing to put in the time and effort to get it to our house, so I stayed out of it! Thanks to all the guys who helped too! (Daddy, Uncle Leslie, Brock, Kyle and Matt!)
I picked up the girls from school and headed home. The neighbors came over for pizza and smores and for the kids to burn off some energy and that they did! Piper had a MELT DOWN about 9:15 and that was the point we knew it was time for bed!
Saturday we got up and hung out. Presley and I went to the mall, I needed a new cell phone and she needed some more summer clothes. She was very good and very patient with me during the cell phone process so I was happy! :)
Steve headed out to take our old swingset to a dumpster and the girls and I went to a graduation party for my godson Colton. I feel bad that I NEVER see him but he is so cute and tall and smart and has such cool, different hobbies of which he has displayed for everyone to see. It was nice seeing his whole family who I have grown up with!
After the party we went home and did some more stuff around the house, Steve smoked a brisket for dinner and we had corn on the cob, it was great! Until Presley bit into her and loosened her bottom tooth...she said it hurt so bad she couldn't swallow (Drama queen!). I do think it hurt but I think she was more scared that her tooth was loose. This is her first loose tooth and it is NOT as exciting as she thought it would be!
That night we had Brittney come to watch the girls. Originally I had wanted to go see Gary Allen at Lakeside Casino but it was sold out by the time we went to buy tickets, so we kept our sitter anyways and we headed back to Latitude 41 to watch the band Toaster play. It was a little chilly out but it was busy and we saw some people that we knew, so we hung out until probably 9:30 and then headed to Thunderhead in Ankeny in get something to eat and our friends Brock and Jackie met us there. We haven't seen them out in forever so it was nice to catch up!
After dinner we swung by Carney Tap in Ankeny to see our neighbor Kyle who works there on Saturday nights and we went in and Steve's cousin Jill was there! Small world, good night and fun catching up with people we haven't seen in a long time!
