Last Weeks Happenings

Last week seemed very crazy! Nikki came into town so every second she was free I tried to spend with her. Her and I took Grandma to the zoo and met her friend and two kids there. It was pretty dang fun other than I got pooped on (Sawyer is on meds that mess him up) and Nikki's friend Regan's son Emmet puked. Sooo glamorous being a mommy! lol
Later that night Brandon and I took Sawyer to his first theater to see Despicable Me and he did so good! Sat on a booster seat eating his popcorn and sippin Sprite! We loved that show too! Very cute!

Thursday, Steven's sons came in town for a family reunion/60th wedding anniversary of Steven's parents and we had lunch Thursday morning then headed to Boondocks for a little family time. We bowled and I came in 2nd place! Yay me! After bowling we headed outside in the burning heat of the day and played miniature golf. I got 2 holes in one! That's awesome for me. We headed back home and got ready for the family dinner. We had a great time meeting family and playing some games. Friday morning we did a yummy breakfast (french toast made from french bread so delicious, eggs, bacon, sausage, etc) and then had a dinner that night. Nikki had to leave Friday night which was unfortunate but we'll see her again in September. Saturday was a big reunion and we had a great lunch and met lots and lots of family. Brandon ended up going to a movie with Steven's sons Chris and Justin while I stayed home and went to the DI with my mom. We scored big time! Got clothes for Sawyer, toys, a sandbox, and a DVD rack for me! It was great! I love the DI! My mom and I had a great chat too. It was nice spending so much time with her. She kind of opened my eyes to a few things that I am really needing at this time in my life like church and the temple. We are church goers but we do have a habit of going for a few weeks then taking a few weeks of and so on. We haven't been real great at going to the temple tho. She urged me to go to the temple even if its just to sit in the Celestial room and ponder the things in my life I am struggling with. Why I didn't think of it I will never know! lol So Sunday morning came and I decided Yes we were going to go to church. We did. Its kinda hard when you have a little one especially since our church is right at his nap time. Then going to nursery is kind of a nightmare. Sawyer freaks out. I stayed in nursery while Brandon went to class then he took over for me so I could go to Relief Society. I loved it! I felt the spirit so much and I sat there thinking Why on earth don't I come all the time?! I knew it was where I needed to be that day. It was wonderful. So I am going to make a goal to go to the temple at least once a month now and try to go to church as much as possible too. :) Quite the eventful week/weekend.
