Happy Belated Mother's Day to all of the wonderful moms out there! We have been so busy this weekend, and our internet has been off for a few days (long story). On Friday Matt mowed our jungle, oops, I mean our yard. You know its bad when the neighbor boy comes over and tells you that his mom sent him over to see if we need to borrow their lawn mower. But, anyway, it had been rainy for a week, so he had an excuse! Matt ended up with a lovely lawn and a terrible sunburn, and when Matt gets burned, he has these weird fits where he feels like someone is poking him with needles all over his skin. I mean, it is so bad that he just paces around and tries not to hit the wall. Weird, I know. I have never even heard of anyone else having this strange condition, and we have yet to find something that helps, except remembering sunscreen in the first place! So, he is feeling a little better today finally. On Saturday we went to a cookout at Matt's aunt's house, where we met some of his more distant family for the first time (third pic down is some of the cousins together). Poor Kenzie woke up with a little fever and a cold on Saturday, but since we were outside all day she was still a happy camper! On Sunday we all woke up with her cold! But, we still had a nice day, went to church, came home so she could have a nap, and then went to Kohls and got some summer clothes! We went out to dinner at Outback where we waited 45 minutes for a table and another 30 for our food. But we still had a good time (bottom two pics are us waiting for our table!).
PS - Aunt Martha, congrats on becoming a grandma, that is so weird! I love his name! And Grandma, Kenz is still pretty much in a 12 month right now. I am thinking she will probably stay in 12m for the summer and be in an 18m this fall, unless she has a huge growth spurt! I hope we get to see you all soon!
