This week at the Walker house...

Sorry, I have been lame this week. I don't think I took a single picture, but here is what we have been up to.

Sunday- We took Aaron to the airport. He is in San Francisco for a whole week doing trainings for work. He will return this Sunday, so I have been a single mom all week. Being a single mom is hard. Luckily my sister does not have dance practice this week, so she has been a big help. Sunday night we had dinner at my grandma's house for Father's Day/my mom's birthday.

Monday- Kind of boring, just cleaned the house and hung out at home with the kids.

Tuesday- Amanda came with us to Kangaroo Zoo. I think she had more fun than Dallin did. After the kids were down for the night I watched Confessions of a Shopaholic. It was a cute movie.

Wednesday- It was our ward's park play day. I took the kids and hung out with the other moms while Dallin played. Brooke just sat in her stroller and just enjoyed being outside. Later, Amanda colored my hair while the kids played with Grandpa. I also got a new phone. My old one was being spastic, and it was time for me to upgrade anyway.

Thursday- The movie theater by our house was showing Ice Age 2 for free. Amanda and I took the kids and met my friend and her little girl. Dallin spent most of the movie running up and down the aisle. That night we had a baby shower for my friend. It was a lot of fun, and after everyone else left, the four of us sat around and talked for a few hours. It was so great, we haven't all been together in awhile.

Friday(today)- I went and cleaned my grandma's house while she played with the kids. Now they are(sort of) watching Wall-E. It is one of Dallin's favorite movies. When the kids are asleep I will watch another chick flick, and maybe make some cupcakes for tomorrow.

Tomorrow- My uncle is in town, so we are having a BBQ with him at my parents house. It will be fun, and hopefully wear the kids out so they go right to sleep when we get home.

Sunday- We will be picking Aaron up from the airport(finally!). We are excited to have him come home. As you can see, my stratagy for surviving a whole week as a single mom was to stay as busy as possible.

Aaron is having an awesome time in San Francisco. He is learning tons, and getting to do some touristy things also. I will try and have him blog about it when he gets back.

Happy Father's Day!

Baby Shower Invites

We are throwing a baby shower for one of my best friends next week. Here are the invites I made for the shower.

Saratoga Springs

Aaron's parents invited us to spend the weekend at their house in Saratoga Springs. It was a lot of fun. It is just far enough away that it is like a mini vacation, but close enough I was able to come back to Bountiful for a few hours to attend a cousins baby shower. Aaron's parents made us feel very welcome, and his mom even set out chocolates by the bed and travel size toiletries in the bathroom like a hotel. It was a fun and relaxing weekend. Aaron got to go hit a bucket with his dad at the driving range, and the kids got to spend some quality time with Grandma Vickie. Aaron and I were also able to go out on a date while his parents watched the kids. We went and saw UP. It was a good movie. We got to go to church with them, and it was such a nice change to have sacrament meeting first. Don't even get me started on the annoyances of having two kids and having sacrament last. Ugh. I didn't take any pictures while we were there, which is sad. I am usually so good about taking pictures of everything. We just want to say a big THANK YOU to Aaron's parents for letting us come down. We had fun even though the weather didn't cooperate with our original plans.
