3-day Weekend!

Now comes the end to a very nice, long weekend. Darren worked on Saturday for several hours and this morning for about half of the day. We also celebrated my birthday on Saturday. I turned 28. I am getting up there...Darren is tring to age me to 30...but I have 2 whole years left until then!! Mr. Latta however will turn 31 in Januaray :-) I got a very nice wakeup call of Darren's family (his mom, step-dad & sister) singing me Happy Birthday and this started of my fantastic day! I got several more calls & text's from friends and family. Darren had been the first to wish me Happy Birthday the night before he woke me up just to say happy birthday at exactly midnight and Trista was the second with a message she had left just before midnight the night before, that I got my birthday morning...then the wonderful wake up singing telegram :-) While Darren worked on my birthday, I hung out and played with the boys it was a lot of fun. Later that evening we were off to dinner with several friends and my family at my favorite restaurant The Taco House! It was so yummy! My parents watched the babies for Darren and I after dinner so we could continue celebrating with some of our friends. We had a great time and a lot of fun. Sunday we went over to Tristas house for a BBQ. Braeden had such a great time with Kody's toys and trying to ride/push his scooter around. He loves playing with the big kids. Brooklynd had fun with the ladies...getting ample attention from his grandma and our cousin Colleen! Then Labor Day we spent some time with just our family Darren and I took the babies and went out to lunch and then to the airport to try out our new camcorder he got me for my birthday and so Braeden (and Darren) could watch their most beloved airplanes landing and taking off. It was a great weekend. I hope everybody enjoyed the beautiful weather and the extra day off.

For fun just FYI...here's the history or meaning rather behind Labor Day!! "Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country."
