It started with Friday night where we chatted with some family friends, Derle and Marjene Thorpe, until late in the evening. They were in town visiting Mom Fuller from Cache Valley, Utah and we really enjoyed their visit. Derle Thorpe was an engineering professor at Utah State University and was one of Mom's college Bishops. Simultaneously, he and Farrell Edwards, a physics professor, befriended Dad and lovingly taught him about the gospel through their examples. We are all eternally grateful to Derle and Farrell!
Saturday though, we got to work. Our goal was to hang the microwave in the kitchen and hang one ceiling fan. We out did ourselves though and not only hung the microwave, but hung 3 ceiling fans and purchased the new mattresses needed for Aaron's bunk beds which will be arriving on Tuesday. Thank you President Bush and your economic stimulus check! We've stimulated the economy alright! Here's some pictures of our handy work.
Paul did MOST of the work, but I helped and handed him things as needed and even helped lift the microwave which Paul thought would require asking for help from the neighbors!
We then put the kids to bed, had a relaxing dinner, and veged on the couch!
Sunday was a great Mother's day. Paul let me sleep in, made french toast (yummm!) and didn't have early morning meetings so he was able to help me get the kids ready for church. We had Mom and Derle and Marjene over for dinner and sat around chatting and opening our present. Unfortunately, Aaron wasn't feeling very well, and had a little bit of a fever, but that makes him extra cuddly with we love. I kept him home from school on Monday and he's already feeling better.
My favorite present was from Paul and was an addition to my Willow Tree statuette collection. It's of the mom and her 2 boys...which I think look A LOT like my 2 little guys. Love it!
I hope the rest of my week is as good as my weekend was!
