Memorial Day Weekend 2011

This memorial day weekend we stayed in town and enjoyed time with friends, gardening and even a little sunshine!

Friday: Eric was off Friday, so he and Isaac had a 'dudes day' while I went into the office. They went to Carkeek park, met me for lunch and ran a few errands.

Saturday: Lots of gardening and yard work + futbol.
Gardening: Isaac loves being outside, so it's a great motivator for us to get out there and work in the yard. We pull weeds, mow the lawn and tend to the plants while he plays with the hose, "helps" picking grass and plays fetch with the dog. 
Futbol: We went down to The Dray to watch the Man Utd v Barcelona match, and we had a small bbq to watched the Sounders game on TV (they beat Salt Lake 2-1... woot woot!).

A few photos of our yard this weekend.

Sunday:  More work around the house, and then dinner at our friend Bernadette's house (make your own calzones... yum!). 

Monday:  We enjoyed the holiday off with lunch at wing-dome, followed by a BBQ at Tony & Amanda's.

Isaac is growing leaps and bounds right now, especially in language development (verbal and non verbal).  And along with all this development is a sense of free will.  Evidence of his little "personality" starting to emerge:

But of course, there's always a sweet side (and even a few rare 'quiet moments')... especially when in mommy's arms...
