this weekend was great! sadly, it wasn't any different for me than it usually is except for the fact that everyone ELSE had monday off as well!

we had a great wedding on Saturday! the weather all weekend was just awesome! i wanted to cry a little bit every time i went outside just because it was so lovely out! but our wedding was good! we werent out too late which is always a plus in our books! but the day went quick and everyone had a good time!

when i got back to town on Saturday i changed and we got right back in the car and headed to Pleasantville. there was a UFC fight and we were all invited to Hans and Patty's house to watch. i could actually care less about those fights... but i wanted to go hang out for awhile. Ethan and i came home about 10 and passed out--both of us!

Sunday we went over to my parents house to grill out with my moms side of the family! the Heckman's were up from MO and some more family came over. it was really fun! plus we got to see all of Ben's pictures from Ireland! he has lots....
Ethan took a good nap and then we packed up again and headed over to Nancy's house for her annual Memorial Day cookout/yard party/this year Caleb's Grad Party! we played lots of games of volleyball.... and my team lost all of them (sorry Adam). at about 8 Ethan and i headed home once again while the guys stayed over and played bags.

aanndd Monday! lovely weather again and nothing on our schedule! Ethan wanted pancakes for breakfast so we made those. Jess told us she was going to the beach and that sounded excellent! so we packed up, got Ben and went out there! Ethan had a blast playing with Daniel and Olivia. Matt and Livy made a sandcastle (yes everyone, Matt went to the beach... with sand... and i didnt even force him to go!!) about 2 we headed back home. we got to the top step and Ethan tripped and scratched from about his ankle to about his knee on the concrete. great. and then i had to put him in the freezing shower to try to get the sand off of him! poor kid, i'm sure people thought i was beating him. when he gets a scrape like that and especially if it bleeds he freaks out if you even look at it! so i had to wipe it off secretley... and look at it once he fell asleep in the car!
naturally he doesnt like bandaids... but he let me wrap it up with some gauze - because i called it a blanket for his owie! sometimes you have to get creative!

we were basically just lazy for the rest of the day. we went to my parents house for dinner. yumm steak! then ended the weekend with a fire in our overgrown fire-pit in our backyard! i decided that i like it down there and we'll have to start stocking wood now.

in other news. my garden is growning good! i took some mint from it and made some "adult" lemonade. SO good! and Roby picked a radish and we tested it out. radishes will be first to be harvested... but most everything else is growing good too! pretty soon we'll have veggies galore!! :)
