Memorial Day = Home Improvement Black Friday


I miss the Memorial days of the past when in MN it would seem everyone would pile into a car and drive 2 to 4 hours north to the lake. The weather alway varied but it was always a good weekend and usually the beginning of summer.
Its crazy to think that we are about to embark on the summer of 2014, our community pool is opening this weekend and the weather is slated to be gorgeous here in Utah. We can't wait to take Quinn to the pool for the first time and also just have a great weekend. As weekend warriors and home owners we seem to have projects anyways every weekend but Memorial day always brings out the big guns. Our plans for home improvement black friday involve turning on the sprinkler system, crossing our fingers all is operating well with that. Stain some chairs, maybe the deck, plant some flowers, bed, bath and beyond if we have time....
For my first Mothers day Bren's gift to me was redoing our flower garden in the front of the house. The big project this weekend is getting the metal edging installed. In the meantime we are hoping some time with friends, cocktails and good times will also be had. All in all should be awesome.
Everything has been great, lil man continues to grow at an astonishing speed. He is now putting everything in his mouth, holding his own bottle and finding his voice. We continue to still be in bliss that this is all real. Exciting things coming this summer, our great friends Sara and Zane are due for their baby boy in a month. The three amigos will be complete Lexi, Sara and myself all had or are having baby boys within a year and a half of each other. Lucky girls we are! We are hosting Sara's baby shower at my house next weekend, can't wait.
We hope everyone also has great welcome to Summer 2014 weekends or home improvement black fridays!

Love,
Bren, Alyssa, Quinn
