So In my defense to what is sure to be a very long post it has been two weeks since my last post, and we've had lots of fun since then so...
We'll start a couple weekends ago, Saturday we did some shopping in the morning, our 2nd to last stop was the funniest and oh say ironic one. We went to RC Willey to pay off our credit on the dishwasher, but then Tony mentioned looking at their chest freezers as we've been throwing around the idea of getting one(our freezer is stuffed to the gills) well of course they had a great one and it was of course on sale, and Tony's buddy who works there in the end sold it to us, but it has been so nice to have! So we went in to pay off a dishwasher and came out with a freezer, but we didn't have to put it on credit, so I guess it's a step up. Sunday we had a St. Patty's dinner/party with Tony's family which was fun, it's always nice to get together. Then Wednesday a week ago we had our niece Melina over for the first time again since Lizabeth's surgery and they had such a great time! And Alicia and I had a good visit as well. Here are some fun pics of the girls playing.
Then last Friday Tony took the day off and spent some time doing some last minute studying for his big 8 hour test that was on Saturday, but he did take a break in the morning and we took Elizabeth to The Aquarium, she had such a good time! She loved seeing all the fish swimming in the water, as usual she liked it much more than I thought she would, we had a really really good time! Her favorite part was the little boat thing...go figure!
That evening we headed up to my parents house to spend the night as Tony's test was up at Weber early Saturday morning. My parent's got a nice little toddler bed to replace the crib she's now outgrown :( She did really well being in a true toddler bed that to boot was not in her room! I was proud of her. Tony took his test in about 6 1/2 hours and I know he did great as he was very prepared, and is such a natural genius when it comes to construction stuff. My parents took my brother Liz and me to Farr Ice cream where they were celebrating 90 years so they had really cheap ice cream. By the time we got back Tony was already there. I had picked up some plastic eggs from the dollar store and filled them with Elizabeth's treats (goldfish, animal crackers and such) and put them out in their front yard for her own little "egg find" I only filled 12 eggs thinking she wouldn't really care for it but boy was I wrong! Afterward I wish I'd put out all 16 eggs, she loved it she did so good and was so happy and proud of herself! Maybe we'll do it again this Saturday?! Then my parents brought out her Bunny Day gift from them(as both Tony's paernts and my parents will be gone this weekend, together actually!) They got her the nicest wagon ever! And a fun learning bear with buttons, zipper, Velcro and such, oh and a great touch and feel Peter Rabbit book! Thanks mom and dad so much she really really LOVES her gifts!! I got a super nice sterling silver watch, that I can't wait to get sized so I can wear a watch again it's been so long, and Tony got a funny singing construction monkey which he and Lizabeth both enjoy! It was a great pre-Bunny Day!! (sorry all the pictures are in reverse order and I'm too lazy to move them all around)
Last night I had the great opportunity to go with our presidency to the Relief Society General Auxiliary Meeting, it was amazing! I love Sister Beck she is so inspired, but I have to say that I really connect with Sister Thompson, I love listening to her I just relate so well to all her talks, with all the recent changes to the Relief Society(and more are coming) it was great to hear direction directly from them. They truly are amazing women!
I'll end with a picture that I'm sure will put a smile on your face as I can't look at it without laughing!
