What a whirlwind!!

Well, I will guarantee you will be sick of me and my pictures by the end of this post! But what the heck, here is an unabashed picture smorgasbord from our crazy and eventful weekend...

Friday Night-

It all started with dinner out for my birthday. We went with some friends downtown Walnut Creek to eat at this very hip(unbenounced to us.) restaurant/lounge. We thought it would be a casual night out... no biggie. Well, what we happened upon was a modern day reality TV show which, if it were real, would be called "The Real Ex-Housewives of the East Bay." It was a very strange feeling to see a whole table of women who had the plastic bodies of 18 year old Baywatch lifeguards with faces that can only be described as the ugly stepsisters meets a graphic episode of nip-tuck!

I'm sorry if I sound mean, but this was beyond weird...and also extremely entertaining. We watched as they mingled and basically made fools of themselves with these cheesy, gross, chester old men! We all walked away thinking 3 things...1) We are so glad we are not single!! 2) We are so glad we are Mormon 3) We are so glad we are boring! Anyway, I didn't take that many pictures (yeah right... there just weren't any good ones of me) so here is one of Spencer and Ben.

PS after dinner we went hot tubing... just for old time sake!

Saturday Morning-

So William had a Primary activity where they sang at a little elderly care facility. It was pretty comedic...yet inspiration. Is it possible to have both?... the answer is... of course...when you add old people with children!! They sang their songs and were really cute. William insisted on wearing the police officer shirt I bought him. Complete with handcuffs and a flashlight. When I gave it to him he was so excited. Then he looked at me and said, "Where is my gun?" It was kinda a buzz kill. Also, not the most appropriate shirt for singing to old people, but he wasn't about to part with it! So we took the tacky route.

Which as a mom, you learn is the path

of least resistance most of the time!

After singing, they went to the park, gorged themselves on sweets and played with bubbles. How does it get better than old people, the park, police shirt and bubbles. This kid is spoiled! You won't believe it, but this is just the beginning...

Saturday Afternoon

So, then we got in the car and headed out to our friends the Watts! They rock!! We haven't seen them in almost a year and it was a classic reunion. They live across the bay and have a big backyard with a play house that backs up to a cemetery (which just makes it even cooler!)

This is Abbey. She was very into June, which was fine with me. Hey, I'll take babysitting in any form these days.

June exploring the grand piano.

We played, ate, shopped, hiked, made a fire pit and roasted marshmallows! On the hike William even caught a lizard. The day was out of a movie. When we were all sitting by the fire at the end of the day William said (kinda under his breath,) "This is my favorite day." It was pretty cute.

This is a chicken fight of sorts. Basically June cracking up at William trying to pull her down!

Tan the MAN!! We taught this guy as a Sunbeam! I can't believe he is 8 years old!!! AHHHHHHHHHH

So there is our Saturday. I'll have to save Sunday for another post! Seriously, it was a good weekend!
