A great weekend!

This past weekend was fabulous! Not really all that different than other weekends; but blog worthy! Starting Thursday night, we went out to dinner with our friends Ben and Lisa at Gazpachos, a delish Mexican resturant that I love and haven't been to for a loooong time....as we left the resturant, one of them mentioned something about an ice cream cake-we thought they were joking, but about 10 minutes later, they showed up at our house with a Dairy Queen ice cream cake! Yum!! Friday was mellow...just hangin' as a family, making sweet potato fries...it's becoming our 'Sabbath' and is a very sweet time. Saturday we went snowshoeing with a couple of other families. I've only been once, and Adam had never been. It was so fun! The two other couples we went with are both quite a bit older than us (the Gherratys, whom Adam lived with for a short time when we moved back here, and some of their friends), but their kids are around the same age- 5, 5, 3, and about 7 months. Pax was THRILLED because there were "big boys" there and even walked in his snow boots without a second thought because he wanted to keep up (last time we put them on him, he took a step, then procceded to throw himself on the ground and refuse to do any more... ) He also layed on the ground and stuck his face in a snowbank, out of curiosity...that was not such a hit. Funny, though! We were gone from 11:30 till 4:30 in the afternoon...I admit, I had a hard time letting go of the whole nap routine thing and was pretty sure Pax would freak out. But he did great! Loved being outside, slept maybe 45 minutes, played in the snow, and went to bed exhausted but happy at 7:30. And we got to do some of the adventuring we loved to do so much pre-baby...I'm having to learn to be flexible all over again...things change after baby! saturday night, I went to dinner at the Doubletree to celebrate Ashley's 18th birthday...and got to meet Kyle...thanks for saving me a seat, Jinny! Sunday afternoon, we went to Farmington after naptime...quick Sam's club run, plus we had a gift card to Chili's. So Adam and I got a chance to talk and dream a little about moving to Ft. Collins, and Pax got to eat nachos and french fries and drink water out of his own cup from a straw. Good times for all!
