Our weekend recap…

Friday, we went with Steph and Rams to help save the Earth. Ok, maybe just clean up San Rafael Park. Momslikeme.com arranged to BYOB (bring your own broom… we’re dealing with kids people) at the park. First we went around with the kids trying to teach what trash is and pick it up. Once we did our part of picking up trash, the kids got to plant some sunflower seeds and then play. Jameson didn’t care about the trash, but Ramona actually would help pick it up. Jameson just played with some dogs nearby and went straight to the playground. I finally got him away from the playground to plant some seeds. He loved that part! (They also got a balloon to take home.. will come into play later.)

Rams planted so carefully, Jameson not so much.

     

     

Friday night we headed over to Steph and Jay’s for some good food and fun. Jameson so nicely pushed Ramona around in her car, and even opened her door for her. He might have been opening the door so he could pull her out and get in himself, but we’ll hope for the first option. Then she gave him a push around the block.

   

 

Then we went in for a little Guitar Hero. J-mo tore it up on the mic. while Jake pounded on the drums. Then it was our turn.

   

 

Saturday we woke up and got supplies to build a sandbox and garden planter box. Kevin complimented my idea at getting our boards cut by the people at Home Depot. (I think I should get a little something for name dropping, don’t you?) I had done some prep work on Friday by pulling lots of weeds to clear our area. Kevin dug about a 6″ hole for our sandbox. While we were working, Jameson was running in and out of the house. Well, all of a sudden I hear J-mo yelling. I turn and he is pointing in the sky. He brought his balloon from the day before outside to play. Well he let go of it, and when I saw it, it was high above the next development over. Sorry kid! He tried to tell his dad what happened by whining and pointing in the sky. Kev tried to figure it out, but I had to explain through my laughter. After lots of hard work, here’s what we came up with.

   

(The dirt pile, and sorry I look like a man after a long day in the yard.)

 

Once we were showered, we headed to Carson to celebrate some birthdays and Mother’s Day. The whole car ride down we listened to Jameson “Mooing” in the back seat. I think he sees pastures and assumes there’s cows. There were some cows, but not the entire way. Here is a picture of Janae and Grandpa (I missed Jeremy) blowing out candles for birthdays.

Then Jameson helped take the candles out of the cake. Once he was finished taking out all the candles, he then tried to put them back in the cake. Funny kid.

   

Debbie and Ben… can you see the sibling resemblance?

We got home rather late that night to a new family of gnomes. (See past post for explantations and the Free’s blog for other gnomings.)

 

What do I do with the new family members? Jameson found them the next day and he took them on a car ride.

   

Sunday we got up and got ready for church. We should have been there early for choir, but we slept in. Oops. We had a nice meeting, and Jameson went to nursery by himself for a bit. Kevin and I were both tied up so they let me leave him. He only has 2 more weeks till it’s official! I got to go to Relief Society, which hasn’t happened since Jameson was about 3 months old. The primary arranged for the men to come sit in sharing time with the classes. We came home and took naps then had friends over for dinner. It was a nice Mother’s Day. Very low maintenance. Kevin was so sweet and changed almost all the diapers for the day.

Tonight (Monday), we had some yummy crab legs while Jameson ate his pizza. He decided to share what he was eating with us. Pretty sure he ate all the ranch and hardly any pizza.

     

Camden came over for a bit after dinner, and he and Jameson came up with new ideas. Where are the gnomes?

   

When I asked where the gnomes were, this was Camden’s response…

C: “They’re in there.”

Me: In the mud?

C: Yup

M: Why are they buried?

C: So the sun doesn’t get in their eyes.

Makes sense right? So Kevin uncovered the gnomes while Jameson helped. Then it was bath time.

  (No more dirt pile. Good job Kev!)

And that has been our weekend.
