Saturday we got up and got to work. We were having a party and had a lot to do! Matt went and got drain rocks for our front flower bed (finally!) and spread them while I made a potato salad. Then while Taylor slept, we cleaned and organized the garage...had to make room for the beer pong table! Swept the back patio and got all of our chairs out and cleaned up. Got the firepit ready for a fire, the BBQ out, and set up a few games in the yard. Got Taylor ready to take to my parent's house. Made a run to the store for beer, ice and last minute stuff, came home, put Taylor down for another nap and jumped in the shower. Got ready really quickly, got all of the food out and ready for people to arrive, and (as people were coming in the door) then left to take Taylor to my parent's house for the evening. This wasn't a party for the kids! Got home to several people already at my house, and from there...WE HAD A GREAT TIME! We ate like pigs, played Lasso Golf and Beer Pong, cranked up the tunes, and enjoyed a really nice evening outside. A few people puked (one on my kitchen counter. SICK.), a few people fought, a few people stayed the night, and I'm certain there were several hang-overs this morning. In my opinion...all signs of a great party! There are no pictures, never even thought about it...probably better that way anyway :)
Needless to say I have spent most of today cleaning. My floors were disgusting. There were dishes everywhere. But all in all, the mess wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The worst part? There are tons of flies in our house from the door being opened and closed so many times. They're driving me crazy!!! For now I've finished cleaning, Matt and Taylor are both napping, and I'm thinking about getting a start on some laundry. Gotta get our clothes ready to start packing...we leave for Wisconsin on Thursday!
But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. RSV Ephesians 4:7

Oh, what a weekend!
This weekend flew by! Friday afternoon I mowed the front lawns while Taylor slept, and when Matt got home he mowed the back. Then we hurried and got ready for a dinner party at ReMax in Yelm, which was really fun! My cousin Amanda and her fiancee Cory had just signed papers to close on their very first home that same day, so they also came, along with my aunt and uncle! It was great to see them as always :) Taylor was one of only 2 babies there, and she was very good...except when she peed on my aunt. Yep, peed right on her! I don't know how it happened, but she didn't have an overly full diaper, she wasn't even the slightest bit wet, but my aunt had a big wet spot on her skirt where Taylor had been sitting! Good thing she could laugh about it! Really, what else can you do?! We tried to get a picture of Taylor in her dress before we left, but she was being kinda silly :) This is the best we could do...
