what a weekend!

our weekend was jam-packed full of fun!
friday evening i went to a movie with susan & some of her friends. we went to the chick flick "27 dresses".

it was a really cute movie. predictable, of course, but a lot of fun. as i was watching the movie, i realized that the leading lady, katherine heigl, bares a remarkable resemblance to my friend jerolyn's oldest daughter, kaitlyn. take a look...


saturday started out with lauryn & i and dennis & isaac going to each of the nevada caucuses. now that it's over, i don't have to hear anymore of the newspeople discussing the correct way to pronounce the name of our state!

it was a great feeling to play our part in such an historic election. even more interesting will be finding out who each party will choose as it's candidate. right now, it seems so up in the air on both sides!
then, early afternoon we were off to kaylee's 2nd birthday party. kaylee is the little girl i watch 2 days a week. we had a great time there! we hadn't met most of the people there before, but they were a really nice, relaxed bunch. the kids had a blast playing with the other kids there, and, of course, someone else's toys.

next stop after kaylee's party was a birthday party for my friend terri from my book club. our friend jenny hosted the party. our entire book club & their families attended, along with a few of terri's co-workers. we had such a good time & the food & company were both WONDERFUL!



today, it was off to church, 5 min. late as usual. isaac got a nice surprise when he was told he could move into the kindergarten sunday school room with his buddy aiden. he was very excited about this but will be sure to miss a.j. & carson from the other sunday school room. lauryn loves the nursery at church (which is super nice for us!) ~ her favorite part is getting a piece of candy when we pick her up.

after lunch, everyone took a nap AT THE SAME TIME! how perfect is that??? we watched football, knowing the patriots were 99.9% sure to win. the giant/packers game ~ wow! what a great game! i was just glad to be home watching on my couch, cuddled up in my blanket ~ not at all like this poor guy:

he did this & HIS TEAM LOST! as cold as he was, i'm sure he could still feel his heart breaking, as i'm sure our friends dave & kristin's were also.
then, to top off the weekend, we got to watch the finale of my favorite show the amazing race.

going into the finale, i would have been happy with any of the final 3 teams winning, since i really liked them all. but when tk & rachel won, i was really glad they pulled it off since they remained cool, calm, & collected the entire race. they never said a bad word about another team & were a perfect team, never getting mad at each other, always staying positive.
so...that was our weekend in a BIG nutshell. how was yours???
