Weekend in a nutshell

I love the routine of a normal week of getting Maggs off to school, cleaning the house, regular naptimes for Lucas and my weekly trips to the grocery store but I LOVE the weekend. Usually on Thursday night I am like a giddy school girl knowing that the next day is Friday. I like to call it Friday-eve. Our typical weekend includes a date night which is most likely spent at a resturant b/c I would rather talk to Russell about our week rather than sitting quietly in a movie theater plus, I love food. On Saturday we fly by the seat of our pants and just do whatever needs to be done and we love to go visit Grandma and Grandpa Kennedy.

I love those dimples, I have no idea what that weird white thing is on her shirt....a reflection?

Check out those thighs! We had a little photo session at Grandma Buckmisters on Sunday night.



You ask Maggie to smile and this is what you get, pose and all, everytime

My nephew Brayden put together a "quad" lego thing and Lucas wanted to take a ride on it...or at least try.


I'm still trying to figure out my camera with all of the different settings and what not so we had another photo session while Lucas was asleep.





Violet laying on her blanket=happy baby.

Here are some pics from the Elders Quorum Pinewood Derby. Russells car looked the coolest but it definately wasn't the fastest...sorry Russ.

Our friend Craig being the score keeper


They had yummy fresh popped popcorn, could you get any better?


The men folk.

Poor Russell's car wasn't winning so he glued a drill bit onto the top, it was hilarious, esp. cuz it still wasn't fast enough. What do you expect though when he put his car together in like 30min on Sat. afternoon?

The women folk. We were great cheerleaders...ya right, we just gabbed the whole time.
I'm so excited that we are in the "ber" months now. Hopefully it will cool off soon and we'll see what other fun things we can do on the weekends!

You kids are so adorable. I would have a photo shoot every day. It sounds like the pinewood derby was a fun night. Jim had too much homework and his car is still in the box. So, we stayed home while Jim did homwork. I don't think his car could look as good as Russell's. The drill bit adds to the car. I made my blog private, you can email me at tamipace@yahoo.com. Enjoy those cute kids.
