Weekend Roundup!

Sadly the pictures of the weekend are not in my possession as I did not take them.

The pictures I have though I will post, the rest my dear friends I hate to admit, will equate to almost nothing compared to all that was this weekend.

1st: - Friday: - ?!-
Friday Bryttan and I were going to go look at 2 houses that we had called and scheduled to look at.

The first house was in Sandy, we were scheduled at 4:30, at about 4:00 I got a call saying that it had been rented. Sad :(

The second house was in Lehi, and we were scheduled to go look at it around 7:30, at about 6:30 I got a phone call from the Ladies husband saying they decided not to rent the house anymore and that they would not be showing it to us. :( How awful.

So we spent the entire evening attempting to locate a swimming suit for Bryttan. Let me tell you, there is almost NO STORES that sell 1 piece swimming suits. Everywhere you look there is nothing but bikinis, we spent several hours looking, we looked at multiple Old Navy's, Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, PacSun, Wet Seal, Target and several others.

There was no luck. We had ended up near Jordan Landing so I suggested we go to see:

We got tickets and sat in the theater for a while.

Let me tell you, Toy Story 3 is a very good movie. I loved it so very much and I highly HIGHLY recommend it. Trust the caps, they don't lie.

Anyway, on to Saturday:


2nd: - Saturday: - ?!-

Saturday we were going boating, so we woke up early, I drove over and picked up Bryttan and we started our Hunt again for Swimsuits. I had been up for an hour looking at places in Utah that sold Modest swimsuits. I found a few that were scattered about in Draper, Provo, and Pleasant Grove.

However I suggested we try Shopko first, so we did, and alas we found one that fit well and was not extremely ugly! Hazzah! awothaweth (This is the text equivalent of a high-five)

So we went boating! Yay! - Off to Willard Bay!-

Wait..oops...

The battery on the boat is dead! As it is EVERY SINGLE YEAR WE GO. However -

-
-
This year - We were not on the boat ramp launching the boat to discover it was dead, it seems we had learned our lesson. So! - Brett went and bought a new battery (Yay) awothaweth.

And we began our journey -

Brian went with Bryttan and Myself, which....I can only say was very brave of him, I'm not even sure it has fully registered within himself of what exactly he experienced.

Sing-alongs, and the license plate games were among the chicanery in that car. (I'm sorry Brian, but actually not at all.)

Anyway! - We got to the boating Marina and launched- Haha - Success nobody died and we docked very smoothly. But from there...things take a drastic turn for the worst.

Sunblock spraying in people's eyes and running out, condoms floating in the water lost and forgotten. Karin forgot to bring the condiments for the sandwiches, and the terrible horrible swarms of bugs.

Once we got out there things got better. We ate and it was delicious, and we had a lot of fun.

We water skied, and wake-boarded and went on the tube. The only annoyances then were the dastardly bugs and their villainous intent to suck our blood! awothaweth! (Don't ask why I high-fived at this statement, just go with it)

We got back and docked successfully and got the boat all cleaned up and put away. We had dinner at our Father's house and all was well again.



And yes I can dunk -


3rd: - Sunday -?!-

Sunday! Sunday was father's day. We were also celebrating his 50th birthday. Karin made a traditional German pickle meat dish called Rouladen (spelled that wrong.) I happen to HATE pickles...but I ate it anyway, it was good very pickley but...good nonetheless. We exchanged cards and gifts.

I made my father a tie out of paper and wrote happy father's day on it. Bryttan made him a card with her hand print on it and wrote him a wonderful card. But alas, Karin was once again the reigning champion at getting him to cry.

We gave him his walker and his actual gift (a night stay at Park City and a steak dinner at Ruth Chris)
it was a very good meal and we had a lot of fun.

4th: - Monday -?!-

Okay okay, I know that Monday is not part of the "weekend" per say, but it is pretty friendly with the weekend and I think they're getting serious and might hook up. Who knows, maybe in 2 Mondays it will be officially part of the weekend. :)

Anyway! - Monday -! Yes Monday, we celebrated Bryttan's Birthday! awothaweth! At my madre de pollo's house. I really don't know why I called her my Mother of Chicken but I'm sticking too it.

She made a special meal for her, and it was quite delicious. Wonderful Lasagna it was! And alas, it was soo good that I went back and got 4ths. Mmm. I loved it.

She also made Bryttan her favorite cake, which just so happens to start with a C and rhyme with Arrot.

It was a wonderful "weekend" and I'm glad that we didn't have too many problems. :)
Pin It!

Yet again, your blog thoroughly amused me. You need to start writing for a newspaper.
