It was a sunny Sunday...

here's the lowdown on what we were up to all weekend....

**Friday**

Bonfire fun with our neighbors Duane & Michelle and Chad & Angie...

no photos.. but the weather was perfect,

the kids had a blast playing night games

and the adults had some great conversation and a lot of laughs..

**Saturday**

Caden got to hang with his cousin Dayton all day long...

Chloe and I hit the mall for some new clothes

and then picked up groceries for the week...

I spent much of the evening enjoying my book... Breaking Dawn... 4th in the Twilight series... once again a GREAT read.. hoping to finish it up tonight!

**Sunday**

Church this morning.. Chloe received a Bible today, then we got to have a pizza lunch and a workshop that taught the kids how to use the Bible. Angie, Dayton, Grandpa Mike & Grandma Paulette were there, but we didn't get any pictures as Chloe was having NONE of that and refused to be in even one photo. I did give the speech about how she will regret it when she is older!! :) After church, we headed over to Mike & Hilleri's for the baby girl's birthday party!

My little nieces Shelby and Emma turn one this week.

They are both too cute!!!!
