Summer BBQ's!

Our weekend was filled with sun, bbq's and family time. Darren started the weekend working Saturday morning. Most of the day for me was spent cleaning and playing with the babies. I finally got the floors cleaned during nap time and have been continuing with the cleaning out and organizing I seem to always do in the beginning of Summer! Saturday evening we packed up and headed over to my parents house for a BBQ with the family. This was followed by a poker game for the guys, while us girls watched Son In Law on tv...(that movie cracks me up), and the babies & Kody sleeping. After the kids had gone to bed and the movie was over, I headed out to watch the game as did Trista (after she awaked from her cat nap) and by the time it was all over and we had cleaned things up it was 4:00am! I was amazed at how late it had become. We decided at this point to stay the night at my parents house, as not to disrupt the boys. 7:00am couldn't have come any sooner for me. I was so exhausted. My mom, thank goodness was there to help get the babies up and fed...or I should say I helped her as she did most of the work. After they got their breakfast and the rest of the house (with the exception of tired little Dare Bear) were up and awake, I layed my head down while Brooklynd napped and I closed my eyes for a much needed minute. An hour or so later I heard Brooklynd making sounds and woke up to a nearly empty house of just Darren, myself and Brooklynd. My parents had taken Kody and Braeden to breakfast. I had heard them discussing this while I was fighting (not too hard) falling back to sleep....I fed Brooklynd again and Darren got up as well. It was about noon, by the time the rest of the brood returned with an array of floaties and pool toys :) So next we got into the pool and pretty much hung out there trying to get Braeden in the rest of the afternoon. He cracks me up, as my mom put it you try & try to get him in and then when he does want to go in no one wants to be in the pool :) Darren and him played for a while towards the end, while me and Brooklynd hung out! We got home at around 9pm last night after BBQing again! It was a good weekend with family. Will be thankful come next weekend, for more fun!! Have a great week all! Much love.
