Friday morning I went to pick up my bride's maids dress for my best friend, Piper's, wedding that I will be in on May 8th. It's simple, black and slimming, thank God! I had to guess on a size since I was pregnant when we went to pick out the dresses and get fitted for a size. Thankfully, it fit! It's still a bit tight around the ribs, but I'm hoping in three weeks, I will have lost a little more weight and it will fit better. After getting my dress, I went to my mother in laws to pick up the girls. Then we headed out to Gresham to go see my good friend Kristen. We picked her up from work, then went to the park. When we were parking the ice cream truck arrived, so we stopped and got an ice cream for Sophia. She thought it was such a special treat! We laid out a big beach towel and sat down to enjoy the sun. While Sophia enjoyed her ice cream, Kristen and I got to visit. It was such a warm and beautiful day! Peyton was an angel the entire time and slept in her car seat. After finishing off her treat, Sophia was ready to play! I had brought a big container of bubbles and was blowing them for her to run after and pop. She absolutely loves bubbles! And I guess so does every other kid her age because once I started blowing them, kids turned and looked and wanted to come pop them with Sophia. Their was one little boy that played with Sophia, popping bubbles, for quite some time. They were giggling and running around together. It was cute to see her interact with the kids at the park. Then we took her over to the swings, the slide, and the play structure. I love that Sophia is content and totally memorized by inexpensive entertainment, such as bubbles and the park. And I am really enjoying this age! After a few hours at the park we dropped Kristen off and headed home. Sophia must have worn herself out at the park, because she fell asleep on the ride home.
Saturday morning my mother in law and father in law picked up Sophia and took her to their friend's daughter's birthday at the Portland Children's Museum. While she was off doing that, my sister in law,Katie came over and we did a little browsing/shopping at Target and Nordstrom Rack. So many people were out shopping getting spring and summer clothing and sandals. I got a couple pairs myself with a gift card I had received for my birthday. Thanks Auntie Shannon! After our shopping trip we headed back to my house and then Barbara dropped off Sophia. She had so much fun at the Children's Museum and had even brought home a mask she had made there. I am hoping to take her back, because I would love to do crafts and play there with her!
I was able to spend a few hours with the girls, before I had to head down town for my best friend's bachelorette party. I met all the girls at Hotel Vintage. They had rented a room to stay in for the night for those who wanted to. We had a drink and them headed out to Rock Bottom Brewery, a yummy restaurant down on 2nd. It was packed!!! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was really fun!
After that, I headed home, but not before getting stuck in the parking garage elevator with my the bride, Piper, and our friend Christina. I have to admit, we all got a little nervous and were wondering how long we were going to be stuck in there! Thankfully the guy on the other side that was waiting to get into the elevator, pried the doors open so we could get out! I headed home to see my hubby and girls and fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow!
Sunday morning we made a few pits stops at various places, then got a coffee and headed out to my parents place in Sandy. I couldn't wait to get there and sit out in the sun! My brothers and Jeff all have air soft guns so they have these air soft wars out on their property.
While they were doing that, me, my little sis, my mom, Sophia and Peyton all hung out on the back patio relaxing and soaking up the rays while my dad grilled sliders on the BBQ.
We enjoyed a yummy lunch, relaxed on the back patio some more and jumped on the trampoline, and around 7pm headed for home. After getting the girls baths and down for bed, Jeff and I were exhausted after a busy weekend and couldn't wait to get some much needed shut eye! So off to bed we went!
I swear, we didn't sit down the entire weekend, but when we get such nice weather like we had, I want to enjoy and do as much as possible, and I think we did just that! Jeff and I are looking so forward to the summer so we can have many more weekends like this last one!
