Labor Day Weekend

We had a fun and busy weekend filled with sleepovers, bbq's, friends and family...

Here are a few shots of the kids being thrown in the pool by our friend Matt. They loved the feeling of flying!!























Sunday we headed out to Newport. Since Grandma & Grandpa are moving soon (only a few minutes away from where they are now), this is probably our last time there for a little while. We had fun playing at the beach, eating, having heated political discussions, and laughing too!


We spent the last day of our weekend being pretty busy. We started out visiting the kids great-grandpa who had taken a fall earlier in the middle of night. He's doing better, but has a pretty big lump on his head. We spent the rest of the morning at a huge tent sale at Sport Chalet getting snowboarding gear for our trip to Mammoth that is coming in December! It is hard to imagine in this heat and humidity that we will ever be in the cold snow, but who can pass up 65% off! Then we came back and spent the afternoon at the beach. The kids had a blast playing with Grandpa. He was throwing them in the waves and Zoe was riding her boogie board. They are so lucky to have the best Grandpa in the world!












We did spend a lot of our weekend watching the news too. With Hurricane Gustav hitting land just 3 years after Katrina, we were all a bit nervous. My brother Greg and his wife just moved to New Orleans last month, so this is not a very good time for them. They evacuated to Arkansas for now, so at least they are safe, but we are all praying that they get to go home soon and not have to face devastating loss.
