Need a weekend after my weekend

I am still tired from my weekend; hence the no new posts! It was a busy one but staying up till past 11 last night to watch The Bachelorette probably contributed to this sluggishness as well :)

Friday night we had the neighbours and their boys over for a drink and the boys played with the garden hose. So fun to watch! Jack loves all his "fwiends" and asks for them over everyday. I love watching him grow up into this little boy, having a 'social' life and enjoying the great things that life has to offer! My goal as a Stay at Home Mom is that I make memories for my kids that only I could create. Memories that they will remember for a life time.
Saturday started off at the parade. It's a little tough to manage a 3 and 1 year old while they wait for an hour for the parade to come but we did it! My sister and her family came down for the entire day and to partake in the Sizzler Festivities. I must say, I have never been more proud to call Humboldt home. Humboldt did a great job putting the whole weekend on. All the hard work from everyone definetly didn't go unnoticed. The parade was awesome. We have went to some other parades this year but none touched this one. The farm equipment helps (thank you farming community) as my boys get mezmerized by the equipment with the bigger than life wheels. Quite impressive actually. Then off to the midway where they kids enjoyed the rides and  food that only a fair can provide.
Sunday was Dad's 60th birthday celebration at the lake. The whole family made it and enjoyed a full day of good food, good drinks and good company. There was a definite reason to celebrate such an important birthday as we were all unsure if Dad would make it to this one. The scare with bacterial menigitis sure put everything into perspective.  The kids sure had a blast. 
But I need a weekend now. I am wiped and as are the boys. Jack is still talking about all the fun things he did; but he's a little cranky ;) Oh well, that's part of it too.


Now my diet starts tomorrow. I just finished making a baked oatmeal for tomorrow mornings breakfast so I can start it off right! I've gotten off track with my diet (I am kidding myself as I've never dieted before). But soon I'll be able to run SUPER fast.

Love this photo of Grandpa with his grandkids!
