Labor Day Weekend

What a nice long weekend we had!!  It started with lots of action and ended with a nice relaxing day at home.  I wish we could have every Monday off work! 

Saturday Alan had a moving job in the morning but that evening we went out on a date!  Ryder went to hang out with Nana and our friend Mary came over to stay with Maisy so that Me & Alan could hit the town.  Hitting the Town these days has turned into dinner and a nice long trip to Walmart to restock our groceries!  Okay so maybe it wasn’t the most romantic thing to do, but it felt good to shop at a leisurely pace with no interruptions.

Sunday morning we went to Church for Jaxon’s dedication.

It was great to be a part of this special day for our friends!  The service was so good, as always!

My boys looked so handsome:

Afterwards they had everyone over for lunch.  Maisy got passed around, not just to the girls this time, but to the kids too!

This would be what happens when I leave baby girl alone with these crazy women:

Attack of the hairbows!!!  Yikes!

Ryder played so hard with all of his friends that I barely saw him the whole time!  The only picture I got of him was when he finally sat still…not even 2 minutes after pulling out of their driveway:

In typical Maisy fashion, she needed a break from her carseat so we stopped by CJ & Angela’s on the way home.  They were hosting a fantasy football draft so Alan got to see some of his old buddies from school.  After the draft they played a game of football, the difference between the game now and 10 years ago…they were all a lot more out of breath!

Me & Maisy enjoyed visiting with Angela & Callie

And Ryder had fun playing with Carter (except for that one fist fight they got into…yes, they were throwing punches and the Daddy’s had to break it up!)

They might fight over toys, but one thing they do agree on is trying to beat Alan up!  They love to team up against him.

Since the kids got to bed late Saturday night & Sunday night, they made up for it by sleeping in late Monday morning.  Maisy didn’t wake up to eat until 7am, then went right back to sleep until we all woke up at 10:30am!!  That was the latest we have slept since we had kids…it was a nice relaxing start to a peaceful day at home. 

That was our Labor Day weekend!
