1. A canceled softball tournament. Jake would probably be upset that I was a little happy his tournament in Payson was canceled- they canceled it because the weather forecast was predicting rain- luckily though the day stayed pretty clear. We spent the day out in the yard and garden laying weed control tarp and wood chips, configuring our soaker hose, and buying/planting a few more starts as well as some flowers. Jake was a hard worker and even got the last row of tiles cut and laid for the bathroom as well as some trim and plumbing done...

2. Hooray for the bathroom project almost being done!

3. Hard work. Its a good principle to apply. Even though we have to push ourselves to get started, I've never said, "I wish I hadn't worked hard" but I've often said, "I wish I would have worked harder".

4. Decent weather Sunday evening. We had my older brother Brian here for dinner along with the normal Sunday crew. I'd prepped all this stuff for steak kabobs and grilled corn on the cobb and so was very happy when the weather was nice enough to grill and eat outside.

5. Time with my brother. It was nice to hang out with my brother. He's a cool guy and I enjoyed having him around for a bit.

Memorial Day

1. Magleby's Breakfast buffet. Cinnamon nutmeg french toast, bacon, eggs, muffins etc... yummy.

2. Opportunity to create a memory with Grandpa Bybee. This morning with went with my grandpa and aunt and uncle to visit my Grandmother's grave. It was neat to be there with him, as well as to see the whole cemetery dotted with flowers.

3. First family trip to the movies. We took Josh and Dekker to see Hortin Hears a Who at the dollar theater. It was packed with families so it was nice to not have to worry too much about the occasional outburst from Dekker. Dekker did better than I'd expected though- and Josh loved it (especially since he got to share the experience with his friend Sam). It was a super fun flick and I recommend it to anyone not "too cool" for animation films.
