Yippee! It's "Next Week!"

McKay has been asking for days now if it is "next week" yet, because his birthday is on Tuesday of next week. So when I told him that tomorrow is "next week" he was pretty excited. He drew this picture during church today:


He says that all those little guys are him, and they are happy because it's his birthday!

Kayden went fishing on Saturday with the young men in our ward... and came home nice and sunburned on his face:


It looked a little better today than yesterday. He said he had a lot of fun though. They canoed in, and he ended up catching 2 fish (even better... he didn't bring them home!)

No volleyball this weekend, so I was thinking we would get some work done on the basement, but Rik ran 15 miles Saturday morning, and was unable to move well the rest of the day.... moving sheet rock down into the basement this weekend was definitely out. Rik is walking a little better today though (at least I don't have ward members asking me what Rik has done to be hobbling around the church, like they did last time he ran a big run!) But he was so sore he couldn't even go on our Saturday night date to Walmart together... I had to take McKay and Anaya instead (McKay wanted to pick his birthday treat for school on Monday....he chose Twix bars... his favorite "steal from my piano treat bowl" treat... that he's not allowed to steal, but does anyway). Kayden's birthday is Wednesday.... so lots of cake this week (nothing wrong with that!)

It was beautiful this weekend! We might try for a family bike ride tonight!
