.:‘bout time for a blog, eh?:.

well, i’m here at work. missing my boyfriend. sorry for the sap, but our blog is for our thoughts, right? :)

we had an amazing weekend, we had the girlies… dave picked them up from school on friday and headed out to his buddy jon’s parents house to play with the horses, dogs and on the trampoline. i headed straight to my parents house from work, my older brother robby was there! whoop whoop! he had flown in from LA earlier in the day. we all piled in the car to head to eric’s track meet and cheer him on. i believe he hit a personal best in his shot put event… he also ran the 400 meter. i am so proud of this kid! he looked so sharp out there in his sleek black, red and yellow track spikes… and those short shorts! we had a nice bar-b-q at ma’s… just like the old days. dave and the girls wrapped up their evening and i did too. we met at home and we were all absolutely wiped out! the sun took it out of us. the girls wrapped themselves up in the most adorable blankets that my mom made for them. so snug and cute.

saturday morning dave went and picked up amber! HOORAY! amber is beautiful number 3 in the brent and ruth clan. she hung out all day with us, cruised to lily’s baseball game with us and we also hit up a couple cute shops in downtown auburn. we were absolutely lucky to have her hang out with us for a bit. my great friend sonja is moving to chicago. and her birthday was on saturday, so amber was gracious enough to hang-out with the girls so we could go celebrate this bittersweet event. dave and i had a wonderful time at sonja’s birthday party. we were able to meet the whole clan who flew out for this wonderful evening. it was great to be a part of such a celebration. thank you sonja, your wonderful family and amber.
sunday was a day of yard work! holy cow! my hands are so sore it’s hard to type! i really should have done a before and after picture… you’d be amazed. dave and i have done some really amazing things outside. lily gets some credit, she asks to help and completes her tasks quite well. chloe and ella have wonderful aspirations of helping but are quickly distracted by bikes and sidewalk chalk. dave has a couple of his father’s rose bushes planted and i missed their blooms last year, so i am dearly looking forward to seeing those later this spring. we wrapped up the day with pressure washing the whole driveway. a special thanks to dave and stephanie cox for the use of the pressure washer… she’s in one piece, don’t worry! i’m excited to go home tonight and see the work we did.

i think i’ll wrap up here. i hope everyone is well.

happy spring.
