Happy Post Memorial Day

Have you recovered? Karla and I haven't yet - but we're getting there. We spent the weekend in St. Peter, MN with some friends from M'side. Aesa camped out with Nana and Papa and Jakson invaded Uncle Doug and Aunt Kirsten's house for the weekend. I got to golf a couple times, and Karla shopped with the girls in Mankato. We also spent some time with Grandma Phyllis on Monday planting flowers while babysitting baby Megan. We rolled in late Monday night. Today was just brutal - I could have definitely fallen asleep at my desk.

Some of the gang from St. Peter at Jimbob's house. They have an annual holiday fest at their house. Lots of fun

Jakson and Jessica helping Karla water the plants we put in for Grandma Phyllis.

I have the magic touch. I think everytime Megan needs a nap when I am around- she's usually on my lap.

It's about time

I better take the time now to write something creative. I have a spare moment finally so here's what we did over the weekend. Saturday morning came early, cold and windy. Karla entered the annual "Race Against Breast Cancer" 5K so rain or shine they hold it. Jakson and I tagged along for emotional support. Although Jakson spent more time wrapped up in the blankets on the grass all cuddly and warm. Karla finished - but not in as good of time as she hoped. She ended up with 31:19. Not bad in my book considering she didn't really train too much.

We spent the rest of the day shopping since it rained all day. Sunday was much better day for Mother's Day. We had sun and nice temperatures. We took Karla to a nice local restaurant - Spezia's - for brunch. Then after a quick nap for Jakson (and Dad) we headed out for some more shopping. Jakson decided to check out some new yard toys for me.

That's my boy - I think with enough hints I might get Karla to crack (don't hold your breath though!) We bought some tomato plants for the garden, which Jakson is totally psyched about, and took a nice walk too. Hope your Mom's Day was as good as ours.

later

um...are you there????

Yep - still here - but with a busy week(s), a computer crash and rebuild and just not enough time or patience - it hasn't been fixed completely. Plus yard work - and longer warmer days = kid and dog who want to run around outside. So - I'll be back as soon as I can, but in the meantime - go outside :)
