Are you kidding me?

Mom does not have a good track record with road trips and directions. Kait and Mom were on their way to Mom's sister's house and this is how the conversation went..Mom: Okay, I didn't mapquest their exact address, I just put in the city.

Kait: Are you serious? Why? Who does that?

Mom: Well it was really stressful at the house so I just wanted to get out of there quickly

Kait: And go where?
Mom: I don't know and I meant to bring your Dad's cellphone to call Aunt Lynn to get her address


...silence.


We finally made it to their house. We were there to help with a baby shower for our cousin Andrew, his wife Ashley and Baby Christopher!

LOOK WHO CAME FOR A VISIT!!

Our washer&dryer had to work extra hard on Sunday because BEN made his first trip home from college!! We have to give him extra guy-points for changing his sheets just a month into college and not waiting all semester(..Wes and Kent) He was only here for a short overnight visit, but we were glad to have him back! Dad finally had somebody to talk about sports with and for once the lunch coversation did not revolve around clothes, hair, boys and makeup.
Ben drove back by himself and Mom made sure to go over all of the directions with him :) We have had frozen pizza for the past 3 Sunday night dinners.. it might be time to switch things up, Mom.

Showers, Surprises and a Special Birthday!

WE'VE GOT GOOD NEWS!!! Mom is now able to get her SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNT at the Goodwill store. She actually went on the day of her birthday to get it! Robin drove all the way from D.C. and surprised Mom for her birthday!!
Mom is a) praying b) trying to exercise c) thinking about our last camping trip or d) blowing out the candles on her b-day pie?
Answer: D!A few couples from our church had a wedding shower for Wes and Sara. It felt like Thanksgiving or Christmas because boths sides of our family were there..ehh!Mom and Grandma showed up wearing the SAME outfit. How creepy is that?! Guess Mom's already getting used to dressing like a senior citizen.
