A quiet weekend

I want to remember this weekend because it will be a while until something like this happens again. 

Several weeks ago, Corie and Nolan took the kids for two nights.  

There is nothing quiet as nice as

-  sleeping in my own bed, 

- knowing I wont get woken up. 

- knowing I can sleep in as long as I want

- eating when I want and sitting down

- staying up late and watching a really loud movie on our Bose system 

(and knowing it wont wake up the kids)

- doing whatever I want when I want....

AHHHH!!!

Darren and I went out to eat twice- both at Mexican restaurants- 

Why???

because I dont eat out much and Mexican is always my first and second choice!

We biked in City up to the top of the mnt so w could see over into Big Cottonwood. 

Wow! 14 weeks pregnant and I made it. I sure was tired. 

I had to stop and take this great picture.  

It was so beautiful and the leaves were starting to change colors

I turned off my phone for most of the weekend. But I did make one call to Angela.  

She was leaving on an adventure... one I would have loved to join her on. 

Nepal for one month. Climbing mountains, sleeping in tents, wandering around to little villages. 

The kids on the other hand -- they didn't miss us. 

They had a blast. 

Ella's comment was - We're having a party!

It was a nice weekend.  Thank you Nolan and Corie!
