Weekend

It's Sunday already...where do the weekends go?

We have had a fairly quiet weekend so far and it has been great.  Friday night we went to Ryan's parents' for a delicious supper and a visit and then I went to a friend's for a visit with the girls.  Saturday was spent lounging around the house, working on our budget and doing groceries.  We made a delicious supper (thanks Gina, amazing as always) and then had some friends over for a visit.  We played Things and had some Skinny Baked Jalapeno Poppers (again, yum Gina!), a great night!

Things is a game where you need 4 or more players and everyone has a small slip of paper to write on.  The reader picks a card and reads it out loud, for example...Things that make you feel stupid.
Everyone writes something down and hands it to the reader where he/she reads them all to the group and then the guessing starts.  You have to guess who said what and if you get them all right you get a point.  If you guess wrong then the next person guesses and the last person to guess right gets the point.  Winning or losing really doesn't matter with this game because you will laugh and then laugh some more.  The answers range on the people playing, the alcohol consumed, trying to trick everyone to think that your answer belonged to someone else, etc. and for fair warning - things can get a little inappropriate sometimes.  If you haven't played Things, you most definitely need to try it out.

Today we are heading to my sister's house to skate on their outdoor rink with the boys.  Cole will be skating for the first time and he is beyond excited.  He was so proud when Melissa sent an out-grown pair of skates with my Mom for Cole to use, he put them on and stood in the kitchen showing them off.  We were planning on enrolling Cole in downhill skiing lessons starting this weekend, but after getting his new skates he had zero interest in skiing, he only wants to skate.  Today is the day!  Can't wait to visit and spend time with my sister, her husband and their two boys.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend and HAPPY SUPERBOWL SUNDAY to all you football fans!

Top 2 Tuesday & Weekend Recap

It's (almost) Top 2 Tuesday over at Taylor's blog and this week is your top 2 reality t.v. shows.  This is definitely an easy one as I am a reality t.v. junkie.  Who doesn't love to watch a little bit of drama every night now and then?!

Number 1 - BIG BROTHER...this is definitely one of my favs!  I could not turn the channel or miss an episode when Evil Dick and Danielle were on the show.  Then there was Jeff and Jordan - how cute are they?!?!

Number 2 - THE HILLS...now I know that this isn't a 'reality' show, just a bunch of drama but for some reason I still have to watch it.  And every single time after it's over I ask myself why I still watch it...again, please do not judge.  Haha...

Since Lauren left it's just not the same...

I also love the Bachelorette/Bachelor, America's Next Top Model and The Biggest Loser...but I am just supposed to pick 2. :)

Head on over to Taylor's to link up and join the fun.  All of these girls have me curious about The Real Housewives shows, which I have never seen.

Okay, on to weekend recap.  Friday night I hung out with C and got some housework done and then Saturday was an early start.  I met Jamie and Katie for breakfast and we headed to the Fire Fighter Games for the day.  Erin came out for the day and we had a great visit, it turned out to be a beautiful day.  Here is a picture of all the fire wives/girlfriends and our shirts for the year, we are the only ladies who do it and there were a lot of comments on our shirts this year.

The men gearing up for the games to start.

Friday night I came home to C with a new hair cut!  We figured that with it being so warm outside we should get his hair trimmed, also he's been constantly pushing it out of his eyes.  We decided it is time he has a little boy hair cut and it started out that way, but then he got a little excited and apparently he started flailing around in the chair and well, it's a little butchered.  While we still aren't used to it we will have to wait it out and see, but we both prefer his 'surfer/hockey hair'.  Regardless, he's still damn adorable and hilarious!  Here he is with my dad on Father's Day.  We went to visit my parents yesterday afternoon with all of my siblings and it was nice to see everyone.

Hope every one's week is going well so far!
