Carnival, Birthday, and Zoo

Last Saturday the kid's school had a fundraising carnival. This annual event is looked forward to greatly in our house. Unfortunately I had to 'single parent' it this year as Rob had to travel to UT for a funeral. (His uncle, who had been sick for a long time, passed away).
Grant, Russ and Brenna loved the train ride. Seth enjoyed playing some of the new games this year in the 'Minute to Win It' section.




The next day (Mother's Day) was also my birthday. Rob overly spoiled me. He seemed very stressed about the double occasion but completely outdid himself. His sister Kristy was kind enough to invite us to dinner that evening. We were able to visit with Rob's mom who traveled home with him from UT and stayed for the day.




The kids made me adorable homemade cards, Seth gave me not one, but TWO coupon books (for helping with dinner, yard work, cleaning room, etc). It was a wonderful birthday/Mother's Day, complete with Strawberry Shortcake. Yum.






Grant put that sticker on my shirt and I forgot it was there. It was on one of his new shirts.


Yesterday Russ and I went along with Grant and his preschool class to the Zoo. This was our first time at the Zoo here. It was (finally) a beautiful day and I enjoyed every minute of it.


The boys enjoyed playing on this jeep and other climbing toys as much as looking at the animals.

waiting in line for the merry-go-round with our friends.















One of the moms (also in our ward) invited us to carpool together. It was fun to chat and visit while we watched our kids play. That is something I have missed that I enjoyed all the time in Oregon. Ladies from CP- I miss you!

Cute pictures! Your boys are so cute. And I like my shirt on you! :) I'm glad you got spoiled on your birthday - you deserve it. Looks like you guys have been having a lot of fun!

When is your due date? You are lucky that you are going to miss the heat of the summer during those excruciating last months of pregnancy.
Glad you had a good birthday and Mother's Day.
Keep us all posted when the new one comes.

You deserve a lot of pampering!

I don't think we're going to be in Idaho until Thanksgiving. Brandan and Sophie are going to the UK which kind of uses up our travel money for the summer. We'll check in with you when we're headed your way-- can't wait to meet the newest Weaver!
