Weekend is over

Phew! What a crazy weekend!

Friday we went to Multnomah Falls, and the Bonneville Dam and fish hatchery with Grandma Ard and the visiting families. That night I played softball again on Melissa's work team. I was so proud! I never struck out! I got to 2nd base once! The other times they caught me out or got to the base before me. So, yeah, I suck, but at least I didn't strike out!

Saturday morning, Steve and Becka went to a Daddy/Daughter Activity at church. They enjoyed that. As soon as they got home, we sped over to Clackamas Towne Center to see Wall-E with all the cousins. It was cute. Had a blatant political message running through it, but overall, I liked it. After that, we went to 6 different stores looking for a bike for Miss Becka. She got tons of birthday money to use for it. This was, of course, at lunchtime on a 100 degree day, with Rachel who hadn't had a nap. By the time we gave up on the bike hunt and got to Grandma's house, we were grouchy and hot. Steve, Grandma and Becka went to another store and came back with a new bike! Hooray! I will post a pic tomorrow!

I left at 5:00 with the girls to go to Kelsie's birthday party. After the party we went back to Grandma's house. Rachie played in the water for a bit, Steve was grilling the food. It was fun visiting with everyone. Rach started to totally melt down and I was so frustrated because Steve was either grilling or playing on the computer with his brother. Ugh...Damn computers!

So, we loaded up and came home. Rach was asleep before we even turned off of Grandma's street. Although, when we got home, she started SCREAMING and cried for almost an hour before she fell asleep again. Poor baby girl! Nothing we did helped.

I then spent until 2 am working on Primary stuff. I am subbing for the Primary chorister for the rest of the summer. Today went well. I had fun, but we were just reviewing. Starting next week, I have to actually teach them a new song. That will be interesting! Gonna spend a lot of time online looking for ideas.

We had planned on going back to the Ards this afternoon, but Steve had Home Teaching and interviews to do, so we ended up sticking around here, watching movies and then visited my mom. We hadn't seen her in over a week, so it was extra fun. We played Rummikub and Skip-Bo, both of which I COMPLETELY sucked at tonight. I couldn't concentrate with Rachel "helping" me.

We did have a small thunderstorm today. It wasn't as impressive as I had hoped. The sunset was amazing though, as they always are after a thunderstorm. I, of course, had forgotten my camera. I was wishing for it when we were driving home from Mom's and saw several places to take some great pictures!

All in all, it was a fun weekend. Crazy busy, but filled with fun and some memories too!
