friday + saturday

Friday

took a trip to mansfield to visit with corey's parents and some friends  

the weather was beautiful

spent a lot of time outside

relaxed

jagger took several trips around the yard on the riding lawn mower with grandpa.  

he loved it :)

went to the kingwood center & watched the homecoming parade

we also had a big bonfire when it got dark

i love bonfires

it was ginormous at first, but it burned down quickly and was quite nice :)

our friends dave & tanya came over

we cooked hot dogs, bratwurst, and smores (oh my!) and drank hot apple cider.

Saturday

the kids had a terrible night

they all have colds and weren't feeling good

we were woken up by the smell of bacon.  yum!  

terry made a delicious breakfast for everyone

grandpa played his sax for jagger

jagger was impressed

then jagger was introduced to The Eliminator-- a battery operated go cart just his size

this was a huge hit!

he still doesn't get the concept of steering so he just drove around in big circles

except for the one time he ran into the bushes :)

we relaxed outside, talked and read

in the afternoon, corey and i went to visit with our friend jon while the grandparents watched the kids (thanks grandparents!)

we don't get to see jon very often so it was so nice to spend the day with him

we also got to see our friends joey & brian

then it was back to the parent's house to collect our kids

i raided terry's bookshelves and movies :)

and we drove back to warren late into the night

p.s.  thanks for the corn, terry!  it is delicious!
