Labor Day...

So I am really behind in getting this post out, but to be honest,I am still recovering from a long weekend. It was a great one though. With my sister leaving in a little over a month to live in Thailand, we have been trying to get in as much time together as a family as possible.
Friday night my parents were so great to bring dinner over here to us, we hung out and ate yummy food. (Thank you Iron Chef Mom) Then Saturday we celebrated Father's Day...LOL... We had planned to take my Father in Law to an Angels game for Fathers day but it was not going to work out so we did his second favorite thing, had good steak! Melissa and Macha came up from LA and we hung out all evening. Macha made the best corn on the cob ever! He boiled it first until it was almost done and then put it on the grill to finish it off. While it was on the grill he brushed it with Soy Sauce which made it AMAZING!! It was great to spend time with the Huff/Suzuki family. I always enjoy our conversations...
Sunday was filled with lots of stuff. We went to see our good friends daughter get dedicated in the morning at Sonlife church in Apple Valley and then went over to their house for a BBQ. It was a nice relaxing time. We always laugh a lot with them so it makes any day fun! Then we went to my parents, who live around the corner from our friends, and hung out with my sister and her boyfriend Geoff. We ended up playing one of our favorite games, Settlers of Catan, that we did not get to finish because it was so late. My mom was awesome and let us keep it set up all night so we could finish in the morning.
Monday was BBQ time!! The older boys, Jake and Carter, wanted to spend the night with Nana and Papa so Ricky and I got to sleep in. We headed over around 10 am and when Geoff got there at noon we finished our game! He won again!! Stinking Geoff! Before he leaves for Japan he is going to need to get beat so he does not go on thinking he is the KING of Cattan!
Monday afternoon was filled with family and amazing friends. We ate good food, laughed, played in the pool, and took naps. Played Scrabble (ya I lost again) and Scategories! We stayed until it was time for bed for the little ones and then headed home! We were all asleep by 9:00pm! It was a great day!
I have pictures from hanging out on Monday so I will post those later. Noah wants to eat... so off I am go to take care of that! Hope you all had an amazing weekend!
