the ford family: Memorial day weekend

All week Jt worked so hard so he could have a 4 day weekend, I guess 3 days just wasn't enough. He worked 4 ten hour days so we could have a long weekend to spend together. This is how our weekend was.....

FRIDAY.

We were all able to sleep in and then Jt and my dad went fishing. I stayed home and played with Hayden in the yard and cleaned house. They finally made it back around 1130 at night!

SATURDAY.

We went into Logan so I could get flip flops and we went bowling. I don't think Hayden enjoyed it was much as she usually did because it was cosmic Bowling, but she clapped when the ball hit the pins, and of course she always thought it was her turn. We went home and had dinner and watched Bolt. Hayden loves watching movies now, she just sits and stares! Jt and I was going to watch another movie but he fell asleep at 930. So I stayed up and read...

SUNDAY

Jt and Hayden wouldn't get up for church. Hayden is just as hard to wake up as Jt sometimes. So I went to church by myself and it was nice to be able to sit and listen and not have to chase Hayden around. When I got home Jt and Hayden went out for a drive while a took a nap and then later on Jt went to the lake while i had Hayden. Then we went and had pie with the neighbors.

MONDAY.

Today was more exciting. Jt woke up saying that we were going to have a family day, But then my dad called and they went fishing ALL day again. He said he had to Honor the Veterans so he couldn't say no to my dad. So I had fun day with me and Hayden.

First we cleaned house...not so fun. Then we went to a neighborhood Pot luck BBQ. It was just a couple houses away from us and i only knew one family. But it was good to get to know more people. I learned how small Preston is. So i was over at the Kelly's house for the BBQ and when i first got the flyer I had no Idea who they were, but i went any way and for some reason i had really recognized this house. But i figured it was because i drove past it so much and then we were all talking about dogs and the Kelly's mentioned have two Golden Retrievers. Then it clicked... I knew that house Because i had gone out on a date with their son in High school. We had gone to the movie and four wheeling with the dogs. So that was kind of interesting, they remembered me when I was talking to them about it and said I was one of the only girls he brought home.

After the BBQ I went on a horse back ride around town with my neighbor kids. And that was really fun. Hayden didn't cry for the first minute or so she sat on the horse with me but she wasn't going to ride it. she stayed calm just log enough to take a picture.

After that i decided to take some lunch out to Jt and my dad and i want on a dirt road i probably shouldn't even attempted. I saw a puddle and didn't think anything of it but it ended up being a lot deeper then I thought! And the mud was like clay. I almost got stuck, well I did get stuck, the car was sideways on the road at one point. . But I was able to get out after about 15 minutes and covering my car with mud and a little bit of panicking. I told Jt I went mudding and I think he was a bit jealous the he had never gotten the car the dirty before. When I went to wash it there was at least a inch of mud on the steps under the doors. Oh and Hayden slept through the whole thing!

But we all had a good weekend even though we didn't spend as much time together as we had planned all in all It was a good four day weekend! Oh and Jt didn't get home till 830 tonight and he had no fish!
