A great weekend

Tim decided to heat up the pool a little on Friday night so the kids could have their first official swim of the year!! It was a little chilly still, but we ordered pizza ate around the pool and everyone (but me) took their first dip!!! Max wasn't too sure about it, but the other kids had a nice swim for about 10 min's..haha...yes swimming in May is just not a good idea!!





And yes we do love all of our kids, Jack just refused to let me take his picture!! But here they are freezing their little butts off!! Looks like a ton of fun right?



Saturday Olivia had a piano recital at the dance studio, she did a great job!! We're so proud of how good she has gotten over the past couple of months!! She loves to play and has started to write her own music with lyrics to with it. She's really good, it surprises us at times, who knows maybe one day she'll make a living off of it :) At night we went to Cascades Falls to watch the fireworks, this was also just a great night!! I love watching the kids faces as the fireworks go off, Harrison really enjoyed it this year, and Max sat happily in his stroller watching them as well!! Olivia took her usual spot on her Daddy's lap and picked out her favorites, while Jack leaned back in the chair and watched quietly, because of course he is too cool to make a fuss about them now!!

Sunday night we went to Capri Drive In to watch Night at the Museum 2, the kids were very excited that the Valentine's joined us! The kids did great, this experience has been a nightmare in the past, but went great last night!! After waiting in line for 20 min's Tim took the older kids up to the grassy area to play football, while I chased crazy man Max around our car!! When the movie was about to start I walked Max around trying to put him to sleep, then buckled him up in his car seat where he fell asleep for the night....Thank God!!! Harrison made it through most of the movie, but then asked me to climb in the back of the car and lie with him....he soon fell asleep himself!! After the movie was over we packed up the car, the kids and Tim and I stayed to watch Wolverine. I think we got home around 2:30, late night but well worth it!!



Today is Memorial day we're planning on hanging around the pool again, grilling out and maybe sneaking a bike ride in!! I love weekends like these, no commitments, no huge plans, just time with the family!! There will be a lot of this this week since it's Tim's week to take MULA, another week off!! I'm hoping to take the boys to the zoo and Olivia to the Meijier gardens on Thursday after her opt.


I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!
