Longest Post Ever [But SO worth it!]

Okay, so I know I get on here every

Monday and talk about how we had the

best.weekend.ever.

But seriously,

this one topped the charts.

Every year this is a highly anticipated weekend.

We left on Friday after work...

We left Hemi at Mike and Amy's.

She wasn't happy about being left behind.
She kept trying to climb back in the truck.

When we arrived in Grantsville,

we went to dinner at Wingers with Tara and Steve.

It was yummy... I over ate.

Then we went to Baba's and got the shirts

for the race, then went to Tara's and slept over.

We had to get up at like 5 o clock Saturday morning

to get into Salt Lake in time for the race.

If you haven't heard of

Race 4 the Cure

it is a 5k where all proceeds

go to breast cancer research.

Since our grandma died of breast

cancer, it is a special day for us.

When I was a little girl,

my mom, Baba, and I started going to the race

and now our WHOLE family goes.

It is awesome

and it is on Mothers Day weekend

every year.

My favorite picture of the weekend...

This was the first year my hubby has been able

to come to the race.

His mom and grandma both died of cancer too.
Even though it wasn't breast cancer,

it is still really special to be able to spend

Mother's Day weekend this way.

Our awesome family!


After the race,

I took my momma to go get a massage

for Mother's Day.

Talk about best 50 minutes

of my life!

Dang, it was awesome.

After that,

we met the boys at Sizzler for lunch....

Then went to go buy our tickets for the
Bees game that night.
Since we were in the first 1000 fans
to get to the game,
we got a free pink shirt!

After the game,

we went back to Tara's to sleep over.

On Sunday morning,

we woke up and went to go visit our

grandma's and Kenzie's mom.

Here is my man at his grandma's grave.

She was like a mom to him

after his mom passed away when he was 3.

And I know he misses her so much.

My grandma Becky's grave.

I know she must have been proud to

see her family at the race.

We were all carrying the little ones

and sporting our "Becky's Bunch"

t shirts.

My grandma Jennie's grave

Kenz's Mom-

We took a flower to his Mom's grave

and took a few pics.

She was so pretty

and I wish I could have met her so bad.

On our way home,

we stopped at a few stores to do a little shopping.

I saw this little giraffe and I had to buy it!

Here's the story:

You know the commercials with

the little tiny giraffes?

Well one day at work,

we got on the website of the people

who raise them

on a farm in Europe.

It has all this information about them

and pictures and even a webcam.

It says they are called Petite Lap Giraffes

or PLG's.
Well me and Erin decided we NEEDED one.

We did some research and sadly,

we came to find that they are just not real.

Haha, we were pretty sad.

Erin set her wallpaper on her computer

as a picture of a PLG

and it is our inside joke now.

So when I saw this little PLG at the store,

I couldn't resist!

Look at my cute Miche bag... LOVE IT.

******

When we got home,

we stopped and gave Amy her present

and picked up our puppy.

Then we went and took some pictures

for my friend Mal.

When we finally got home,

we ate chicken and rice,

watched a new movie (The Dilemma)

and fell asleep on the couch.

It was a great way to end the weekend.

But before I knew it,

my alarm was going off and I was

getting up for work.

And here I am.

How do you even go from having

that kind of weekend

to going to work.

I am like depressed.

Haha, hopefully as the day goes on

I will get back in my routine and cheer up!

******

I am hesitant to pick a highlight of the weekend

because every single second was a BLAST.

But the one highlight that sticks out

to me was that Kenzie made a couple comments

about how he was ready for a baby anytime I am.

That doesn't mean that I AM ready.

But it was really cute to hear him talking like that.

Looks like we have some great things

waiting for us in our future.

*****

Have a great week everyone!!!!!
