We had a fun birthday weekend! I turned the ripe old age of 33 and my wonderful husband turned 35. We celebrated by taking the boys to see the Avengers at the movies on Saturday. After we got home we prepared for some special visitors: The Covington crew from Zion were coming to see us. They left this morning, Wednesday, to head to La Grande, Oregon where they would be meeting up with family there to take care of some family business. Lots of fun was had by all while they were in town.
On Sunday we took them down to the Orting River to walk on the trail since it was our first day of sunshine in a while. After church we headed over to Mom, dad and Tammy's house to eat dinner, enjoy an awesome family home evening lesson taught by Rex on unconditional love, followed by our birthday celebration.
We got lots of nice gifts and enjoyed some yummy cake:) (if I do say so myself) and plenty of ice cream.
Monday Mike had class and lab unfortunately so we all met up again at the Stone house to take the kids swimming and have a fun spaghetti dinner. Our last full day with the Covingtons was beautiful as well.
The weather was perfect for taking out the raft on Lake Kapowskin where we were able to fit all 8 of us on there-I had to work that night so Mike took them all to Jumpin' Jack and Jills where Juliet works
and they were able to play and then enjoy some pizza with the Gerry family.
We hated to say good bye but can't wait for the next visit! Thanks for the fun memories Cov Cov!
