Weekend Update

We have had an enjoyable weekend. Erich spent most of it in Tooele at Miller Sports Park for some car racing. He was helping some racer with his car. He loves it. That meant Laney and I had lots of quality time together. I tried to play and read with her but she doesn't really enjoy that. She would rather play and read by herself- while she is walking around my house. She did want to help me do some laundry and other mundane household tasks. And she always enjoys our trips to the mall.

Last night we were able to attend the wedding reception of a friend. It was outside and the weather was just about perfect. All Laney wanted to do was walk around so we watched her do that and we were able to catch up with some friends. Here is a photo of us and surprisingly Erich is smiling in it! Yes, Laney's dress had water all over it. Garrett, Erich's good friend and Laney's supposed godfather, was trying to give Laney some water. It didn't work out so well. She didn't seem to care too much.

And we have had a relaxing Sunday. After church and meetings, I took a nap and Erich watched the dumbest movie I have ever seen, The League of Extraordinary Gentleman. Luckily I only saw parts of it. If I was him, I wouldn't have made it past the first 15 minutes. And tonight we went on a nice walk. We stopped by our friends' house and they were making chocolate chip cookies. I was able to indulge with a little cookie dough and it was so good. It makes me miss making chocolate chip cookies. Now I just cheat and buy Otis Spunkmeyer cookie dough at Costco. While the cookies are delicious, frozen premade dough just isn't the same!

Lucky for me, my weekend gets to continue for one more day. I am taking tomorrow off so Erich can go back to Tooele and actually race his car. It is my birthday present to him. I also benefit as my kids at school are a little crazy and developing attitudes about how they shouldn't have to do anything because school is almost out. I need a break from them.
