Four Day Weekend

Ahh, a four day weekend!

I took Thursday off so Riley and I could spend the day together. I got up, took Jordan to daycare, went home and went back to bed until 11. Awesome! Then, we went out to lunch, gave Riley sticker shock at the price of new pickups, and did some shopping. I guess the days of $25,000 pickups and no interest for 60 months are over. Too bad for Riley.

On Friday, Riley, Jordan and I went to Art in the Park in Mandan. Nothing too exciting besides waiting in line for 30 minutes for an Indian Taco.

Saturday, Riley was in a golf scramble. So, I decided Jordan and I would surprise Grandma Carol, Grandpa Rod and Auntie Mandy. We had a great day – visited Old Grandma, had lunch, shopped then Grandpa grilled an excellent dinner. Jordan and I headed back to Bismarck that night and met up with Riley, Corey and Keri for fireworks. I was hoping Jordan would sleep through them, and he was until a motorized scooter came by. I figured he would freak out from the fireworks, but he LOVED them! I don’t think his eyes could have opened any wider.

While in South Heart, Carol sent home the cutest homemade tent that was Riley’s as a kid. I can only imagine the fun times he will have in it.

Sunday was a nice relaxing day. Jordan played and played. He is turning into such a naughty little boy! He received his first puffy eye from playing so rough. Oh yeah, teeth five and six are just about through, hooray for us. Let the biting begin!

Here We Go!

I thought I would give this whole blogging thing a try. I have a few that I follow and figured maybe others would be interested in us, not that we have a very exciting life.

This past weekend was McQuades and Riley and his brother, Tyler, took first place in the Rec III/IV Bud bracket. Riley went to bed smiling that night. Jordan and I were in Minot for my cousin Amanda and her now husband, Juan's, wedding. It was great to see everyone.

The 4th is just around the corner. I took tomorrow off and plan on taking little man (a.k.a. Jordan) to daycare, then coming home and going back to sleep. I hope I succeed in this effort, but am willing to bet I end up doing housework.

Okay, this is it for now. I don't want to spoil any future posts. Have a good 4th everyone!
