Happy Planting

This weekend was a great weekend!! Friday Kaleb returned from his week-long trip to Las Vegas. They had their annual APA (planning association) conference there this year. Next year it will be in Minneapolis (not as glamorous!). He brought gifts home for the kids like he does every year. In fact the first thing the kids say when he comes through the door is "Where's my presents?" We interpret that to mean "I missed you" :)

Saturday Kaleb got to work on cleaning up our back yard, and babying his new grass that has finally started growing in the back yard. Then he and the boys cleaned their bicycles and he also cleaned the windows in the back yard. While Lulu was taking her nap, he went and got 800 lbs. of dirt and manure to fill in our garden plot. Then after he was done we all went to Home Depot and Walmart to pick up some plantlings and seeds for the garden. We got a few tomatoes, some zucchini, watermelons, peppers, and pumpkins. When we got home we went ahead and planted all the plants.

I worked on Lucy's "Easter" dress all morning along with some housework. The dress was supposed to be for Easter but I didn't get around to finishing it until yesterday. I thought it turned out pretty good for my first dress. I have to admit I had lots of help from my friend Janelle. I would have been totally lost without her!!!!

Sunday morning we ALL went to church. Kaleb wasn't traveling anywhere so he got to help me get the kids ready and come to church in ONE car. YAY!! (Although I did forget I had ward council!! OOPS!!) Then we even all came home together!!! No meetings after church. We ate lunch and took naps and then went over to Alan and Heather's for a great dinner. My sister-in-law always says food always tastes better when you don't have to cook it!! I totally agree!! Thank you Heather!!! It really was a great weekend!!
