Mini Vacation recap!

I know, this is my second post for this evening, but I have some blogging to catch up on since I've been gone since Thursday!
As you can see below, the kids were excited on the car ride to Nana's and Grampy's.

We had a great time while we were there. Watching conference and eating. That's pretty much what Saturday and Sunday consisted of.

Mom and I sewed some things on Monday. We made two skirts. The first pattern was really off, we made the biggest size on the pattern, thinking we could take it in, and it BARELY fit me. It actually barely fit mom, who's skinny!! So, mom kept that skirt, and we made another one, that we made a pattern for off of a skirt Amanda made for me in college! We had the opposite problem with this skirt. We had to keep taking it in because it was too big! Anyway, it fits great now (I tried it on once I got home, mom, and it's perfect!!) The picture below is HORRIBLE. Terrible lighting, terrible setting, terrible body (well, that one I can't really change yet) but I wanted to get a picture on here for Sarah Z. so she could see that I did, in fact, sew something! And yes, I am standing on the side of the tub, taking a picture of the skirt in the mirror. Steven was already asleep, or I would have had him take it.

Mom and I also took a trip to Ft. Knox while I was there. We stopped by where we used to live (and can I just say, that I am SO spoiled! I can't imagine living in the rows and rows and rows of little military quarters, it was actually kind of a sad experience.) Below is the one we lived in when I was about 4 or 5.

We went to the commissary and I loaded up with 10 boxes of Raisin Nut Bran (because they were only $1.75 a box!!) I would have gotten more, but between me and mom, we pretty much wiped the shelf clean!!

Finally, here's two cute pictures of my kids going into the commissary. I thought it was SO funny that Addie put her sunglasses on top of her head. And Landon, didn't want me to take his picture, but I snuck it in anyway!

And one final thing. When we got home tonight, Steven had a surprise for us in the backyard. I didn't take a picture until about 10:30 tonight, hence the pitch blackness of the picture, but hopefully you'll get the idea.

In case you can't tell, it's a wooden swing set. Our friends had a neighbor who was getting rid of it, so we got it for free. Landon and Addie were SO excited!!

Okay, that's the end, of this long and boring blog. I hope at least one person made it to the end!
