Weekend fun

Random picture of Josh - love him!

This weekend started off by my taking the boys to Steenblik's for a sleepover with Grandma and Grandpa.  I dropped them off in the afternoon because I had an appointment with my midwife.
My midwife says that everything is looking pretty good and that I am measuring right on for my weeks.  The heart beat sounds strong and no protein or sugars in my urine.  My next appointment is in two weeks and then I will get my Group B test done and she'll check to see if I have started "progressing."  That is when things start to get exciting - okay, it's really only exciting if you actually start progressing and continue to progress.  Otherwise, it is kind of sad to stay the same each week.  Guess we'll find out as the weeks come.
After my appointment I met Tony at home and then we headed out to go to dinner.  After trying three different places whose wait time was way too long, we ended up at Lone Star Steakhouse where my sister, Teagan works.  The food was good and it was fun to see her working there.  They even gave us a discount because we were her family.  So that was fun.  After dinner we headed over to walk around Costco (because we are that cool).  Then we headed home where we pretty much just watched some TV and then went to bed (yep, we are party animals).
Then next morning we decided to go over the Walmart and Sam's Club and walk around.  Shopping without kids is so nice.  After that we went over to my sister, Julie's house to see how their addition was looking.  My sister wasn't there so we stopped by my parents for a visit and then headed back to Julie's.  We all decided to go to lunch after Julie's husband Boyd was finished with his first coat of paint.  So while we waited, Tony and I went with my mom to Costco to get some things for dinner the next day.  By the time we got back, Boyd was pretty much ready to go.  We all headed over to Culver's and had lunch.  It was pretty good.  Tony and I had wanted to go there for a while, so it was nice to actually try their food.  After lunch we went back to the Steenblik's to pick up the boys.
The boys had a wonderful time playing and having a sleep over with, not only the grandparents, but with their cousins too.  We ended up staying there for about an hour letting the kids play more and then headed back home.  The boys were super tired from all their fun and went to bed nice and early that night.
On Sunday we went to my parents house to celebrate my birthday.  We had a nice dinner and a lot of our family was there.  The boys had tons of fun playing with more cousins and we enjoyed chatting with the family.  I asked my mom for a pedicure for my birthday, so I am excited to go and get pretty toes one of these days before the baby comes.  All in all it was lots of fun.  We sure do love our families and are so thankful for all that they do for us.  We sure are lucky people!
