Brother, Mother, Cousin.

What did we do this weekend? Well I spent a lot of it in South Haven. Saturday we were there for half the day. I got to congratulate my brother and Rachel on their recent engagement. Yay for that! It was nice to see them again, it's been awhile. Rachel got to show off her beautiful ring. I'm so excited to do their engagement pictures this fall! My mom had a spot taken off of her that came back cancerous which was a bit of a scare but they tested the tissue around and it's fine so she should be in the all clear. I believe they want to have one more test just to cross t's and dot i's. So it was extra nice to have a visit with the whole family after that bit of news. We went to the St. Joe Latin Festival in the evening. Kaylee and Nate got to whack a pinata, which is always fun and then I got to see some guy puke his guts out on stage after a hot pepper contest. Thats not so much fun.
Sunday I had to be in South Haven all day long so I took the kids and left Jimmy. I'd like to plan a day once a month where I take the kids out of the house all day long so he can do some Jimmy projects, things I just can't do or have a harder time doing. He changed the oil for my car, mowed the lawn, and really got a good chunk of the back half of the basement cleaned which needed lots of help. He went through some of the garage too. So he took care of some misc. stuff. I went to my cousin's wifes baby show. She is due Sep. 18th which is when I was due last year with Emily. So perhaps Emily will have a little cousin on her birthday this year. I took a few pictures of them, love baby belly pictures!! I'll sneak one up here later after they get to see them first. It was a really nice shower. After that I dropped the kids off with my mom and took care of a evening appointment (had one in the morning as well). Then I went back to my moms and took Emily in the pool. Kaylee and Nathan were already in. The big kids are going with my parents for a camping trip. They will be camping tonight and tomorrow night. I'm glad they get a chance to get out of the house a bit, I think they were going stir crazy. So that was my exciting weekend! I do have one picture to share. This is how Emily sleeps each night, she loves her puppy:
