A good weekend

1. The garden is planted. Friday I spent time during Naomi's morning nap digging up dandelions all over our yard. We still have many- but we got rid of a big chunk of them anyway. The boys helped by picking them up and carrying them to our compost pile. They had fun because I was giving them all the snails, worms, and centipedes I found along the way. When Naomi woke up and we had all eaten lunch we went to Cook's Nursery and Josh pulled the wagon while I pushed Naomi and Dekker in the stroller and they helped me pick out a variety of starts for our garden. We came home, I put Naomi down for her afternoon nap, and then we planted the garden! I'm so excited to see how it does this year. I'm trying sweet potatoes, broccoli, and swiss chard for for first time.

2. Sprinklers are up and running. My sweet hubby doesn't get many days at home. He had one Saturday and what did he spend it doing- getting the last of all our sprinkler issues fixed and working again. What a stud!

3. BBQ with friends. As a reward for our hard work- and to celebrate a usable backyard, we invited the Barrands and Jesus over for a BBQ. It was yummy! After we ate we played PIT- which I've played before, but forgot that I really enjoy it.

4. Sweet siblings. Saturday afternoon my sister called and asked if she could pick up the boys and take them to the BYU baseball game. OF COURSE sweet girl, of course! The boys had a blast with her and Uncle Garrett (who met them at the game a little later). She posted the cutest documentation of it on her blog as well.

5. Sunday. A very sweet learning moment for my companion and I. I don't feel I should share the details, but I'm so thankful for the promptings of the spirit, and for a husband who is willing to do the hard things.

6. Cute Josh quote. Sunday I was in the front room with the three kids. Josh was babbling on about something with Dekker, at some point Josh started repeating some question to Dekker over and over and Dekker was saying, "Huh?!?!". Josh turned to me and said smugly, "Dekker doesn't know what I'm talking about, does he Mom?" and I responded, "Well I don't know what you're talking about either Josh" and then he smiled and said, "Neither do I. AGH! Nobody knows what I'm talking about- even ME!" We all started cracking up. My kids will definitely talk JUST to talk sometimes.
