Labor Day and Trent's Birthday Weekend




We had a very fun and full Labor Day weekend. Trent's parents came down to visit for the long weekend. This was the first time they had come to visit since we had moved to California and we were very excited to have them. Trent took a few days off and showed them around his office and took them to lunch on Thursday. That night we went to swimming practice and they got to watch the kids swim. Friday the kids went to school and Trent, his parents and I all went to Disneyland and California Adventure. I went and got tickets for the new World of Color show while Trent and his parents went on a few rides. I met up with them and stayed through the morning. Then I drove back home to bring Talia and Tucker back to Disneyland after they got out of school. Talia and Tucker talked Grandma Rae into going on the Grizzly Rapids ride at California Adventure and the 3 of them ended up getting quite wet. The highlight of the evening was the World of Color show. We lucked out and got and some great seats thanks to Grandpa. The show was amazing!!!!!

Saturday we spent the day recovering from Disneyland. We went to the movie, Sorcerer's Apprentice, Saturday afternoon. It was a very good movie. Sunday we spent the day relaxing, going to church, helping Talia and Tucker practice their parts for the Primary Program and playing Apples to Apples Junior. Grandma and Grandpa had never played it and we all had a great time. Tucker won the first game and I won the second.




Monday was Trent's birthday and it was so fun that his parents were here to celebrate with him. I made him blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Trent, his mom and I went and did little shopping in the morning. We bowling that afternoon for 2 hours. Talia got last place the first game and first place the last game. I got increasingly worse as we continued to bowl. It's a good thing that we only bowled for 2 hours. After we went bowling we went out to dinner at Lucille's BBQ in Chino Hills. It was delicious and Trent was in heaven with his Baby Back Ribs. We had brownies and ice cream when we got home. It worked out well that his birthday was on the holiday and we got to spend the whole day him. We are so grateful for Trent and for the awesome husband and father he is. Trent's parents flew out Tuesday morning. The weekend went by too fast. We had so much fun with them and hope they come back soon. Thanks for coming to visit us.
