Fun Weekend



We were completely spoiled this last weekend. Mostly because Matt's B-day was on Saturday!



We started the weekend early when Matt and I went to see Les Miserable. It was the 25th anniversary of the show and it was wonderful! Thanks to Janice, we were able to get group tickets, so we saw some family and some family friends that night. It was Matt's first musical, and he said he enjoyed it (although he may not admit that to his guy friends...).



This is a pic of the dress I made for the occasion (yes it was crazy to try and make a dress with no pattern, but there are exactly zero nice, modest, maternity dresses outside of the state of Utah). Please don't look too close - I wasn't ready for the pic to be taken... and I look enormous.







I took Friday off and spent the day with Beth and her boys. We had a blast! Even when B got stung by a bee and we thought that he had just been shocked by the playground. He didn't really cry that much! Such a trooper (thanks to Tommy and Michael, he's a little tougher these days).


That night, we went to dinner and a movie with Matt's parents to celebrate Matt's b-day. We saw Capt America. It was pretty fun and there was a full preview for the Avengers at the end. Not sure if it was "clap at the credits" good, like the grown woman in front of us thought it was, but I could be wrong...


Now, Saturday morning, I went golfing for the first time with Matt, his brother Jason and his Dad. It was my first time golfing. I have been to driving ranges and have always been the joke for anyone around since I average about 1 ball hit for every 6 swings I take. Thanks to Matt's grandma, however, I now have a set of clubs that were made for one of my stature and I was able to bring that average up a bit...maybe not on the first hole, but definitely on the others.


Golfing was a lot more fun than I thought I would be. And, in that company, I didn't feel too bad for not being very good. Especially since one of our team members had a swing similar to this:

Later that day we went to Ethan's baptism. That was awesome! So proud of that guy! The baptism itself was wonderful and then we went to a nearby park for a picnic dinner. Perfect evening! I hope Ethan knows how proud we all are of him and how much we love him!


I wish I hadn't forgotten the camera!!!
