Andrew was there in all his glory! He's doing great at the group home but loves coming home every other weekend because he gets to eat all his favorite foods and gets to soak in my parents' big, jetted bathtub.
It's official, Landon is taller than my mom!
He was thrilled about this!
We were missing Robyn's kids since they were at Lake Powell with Jared for the weekend...dividing time with divorce sucks!
We had absolutely perfect weather for our long lunch and conversation on the porch...I love that porch! Lori ended up being too stressed with school work (she's working on her Master's) and the Relief Society lesson she had to teach so she didn't come.
Yum!
Adam educated my mom on the wonders of the iPad.
He also had us rolling with a story about him binging unknowingly in the middle of the night while under the influence of a sleeping pill. Apparently Amy came home late that night and found a pile of chicken bones on the kitchen counter (my mom made us howl when she said quite seriously, "You cleaned up the bones right?") yet Adam woke in the morning with no recollection of having eaten the chicken.
Andrew started asking for his bath around 3:00pm.
For their sheep, the grass really is greener on the other side of the fence.
My dad took Randy and Adam out to harvest some potatoes from the garden.
It still cracks me up that they have chickens.
My dad's Sedum Autumn Joy is blooming and was chock full of happy bees.
It turns out potatoes are a lot of work.
And oh so messy!
Their plums trees are finally producing a few plums after 10 years of growing time. My dad joked that each plum costs $250!
He's got tons of lavender growing back there too...I think the bees might be getting drunk.
Landon spent the afternoon watching the BYU game (yeah!) and the girls spent the day playing school, visiting the neighbor's kittens and jumping on Amie's trampoline (sorry Amie) even though my parents have one.
**Did you do something fun this weekend?
Do you have an iPad?
What's your favorite BBQ food?**

I'm so happy that you had a 3-day weekend, too!
I love the picture of Adam regaling your parents with his tale of bingeing unawares. Marc has had some instances of middle of the night eating, too, but he doesn't have Adam's storytelling gift!
I also love the picture of Andrew asking for his bath, so cute.
And Landon looking so jubilant about surpassing your mom in height.
And the sheep looking at the grass on the other side of the fence!
I have always wanted to plant fruit trees, but I don't know that I want to wait 10 years for them to start producing...
You really can see Amie's house from your parents house!
We love our Ipad! I want a second one now just for me even though it is totally selfish.
We watched the game this weekend also and were able to take the boat out one last time. I didn't think it would happen with Jase.
Mmm, bbq chicken, steak, veggies, too many things to choose from.
Robyn divorced?!?! Where have I been?!
Okay now that I have expressed my shock I must say I am sorry that I really do live under a rock. Did you post about that and I missed? I thought I was a faithful reader until now.
I had a great Labor Day weekend in California.
I love my iPad. Watched 3 movies on it on the plane over the weekend. My brother is getting the iPad 2 but for me the regular 'ole iPad will have to do me for a while.
As you probably guessed, I'm not big on BBQ.
Your grass is greener line made me laugh so hard I almost spit my drink out.
"Grass IS greener" HEEElarious!
Guess who has her hown "groove buster" at home now?
Grass and sheep truly is a 10 on my humor scale.
