Blocks!

We had a really nice weekend this past weekend. We started it out early on Thursday celebrating with our friends Nate and Kalli. They were married and had their reception that night. Then we headed up the mountain and made it to the RV Homecoming game. It was fun, except for the part where Brooklyn begged to go home the whole time and repeated that she was "all done football." I guess she doesn't have the patience to sit through a game. On Saturday we did some more partying with the newlyweds at their open house. We spent the rest of the weekend enjoying conference and the nice fall weather! We ended up staying until Tuesday because Josh had a class in St. Johns. So we ended the trip in SJ. Brooklyn got to play with blocks for the first time at my mom's. She was instantly in love and made her Uncle Brent build her lots of towers to knock over. She was so sad that we had to go home.

When Josh graduated I gave him a table saw to start a new woodworking hobby. He also got money from both our parents and some siblings to add to his tool collection. He made good use of it tonight and cut Brooklyn some blocks of her own with some scrap wood he picked up from Home Depot. He even let me try out the saw he recently picked out with his Dad. It was pretty fun, and Brooklyn was so happy! She told Josh thank you a million times. She loves her new blocks and I was happy she got some good entertainment with the scrap wood for less than a buck!
