{Another weekend of FUN}

I had a photoshoot on Saturday night. When i went to scope out the place i was taking the pictures at we found this weird looking thing. Shane was in shock b/c he had never seen anything like it. He said it looked like a cross b/w a turkey and a duck. He VERY large to be just a duck. He had the biggest waddle walk i have ever seen on a "duck". He was twice the size of a duck ....he was so funny looking. Friday night we had a campout in our tent IN our house. I never look forward to helping shane set up this tent. It's very large. It really isn't that hard, but i like those cheap little tents that pop up in one minute. :) We do love this tent though. We have TONS of room in it. It was my dad's tent that he bought from cabela's. It is a very sturdy, heavy duty tent. We can fit a pak n play in it, along with our queen blow up mattress and the boys have their own space for themselves. Anyway, we all fit comfortably. He sold it to us for a cheap price. We love it. So, i didn't think it would even fit in our tv area. It almost didn't....

We set it up so that the opening of the tent was facing the tv. I popped some popcorn and we watched Transformers. We have allowed the boys to watch this a few times. As long as we are watching it with them and can fast forward a few parts that need fast forwarding. They love this. They are excited about the transformers the whole movie. It's so fun to watch them.

Shane attempted to sleep in the tent with the boys. I slept in my own bed, but had shane come sleep with me when the boys fell asleep. I can't sleep by myself.

Saturday we went to a big fun get together at the Perez's house. We are good friends with them. She is the YW president and her daughter is in YW's. She is great. They had all the missionaries over, a few friends from church, and some family who drove in from Mexico(where she grew up). It was lots of fun! They just bought a house out in the country and so they had lots of property! It was a really nice spot! Then we headed over to the Woodward's house. We found out that it was Brenda Woodward's parents who fed shane every sunday for SIX months on his mission! They were soooooo excited to know that shane was here b/c it just so happened that her parents were going to be here Easter Weekend. So, she arranged us all to get together and chat for a couple hours so they could catch up with shane. It was fun.

Then i had a photoshoot. Then we headed home to dye easter eggs. The boys didn't get in bed until about 9:30. Yikes.

We had a really good Easter Sunday. The boys loved it, as usual. I didn't get pictures b/c i like to record the event on our video camera. Gavin was so proud of himself b/c in sharing time the Primary President asked the class what Easter is really about. Gavin raised his hand and answered "It's when Jesus was resurrected." Anyway, he felt good.

Then we headed over to some friends house last night for chatting and dessert. We have been meaning to get with them for awhile! It's sooooo funny the MANY MANY connections people here have with other people we know in other states. The couples house we went to last night know the Jones and the Jenkins family...our good friends from Cleveland. They all grew up with each other. Anyway, they are such a FUN couple! Too bad they are moving so soon!
