A weekend with Auntie

We had a great weekend with Auntie Kirsten! She came up on Thursday and stayed until Sunday. It was so nice to just have her around and hang out and talk lots!!
We didn't have any special plans for things to do, but we kept busy! Auntie got lots of snuggles from the kids...We went for a stroll to the mall on Friday morning and then got some Tim Horten's and headed to the park to let the kids play...
Marty held on to his timbit for about 10 minutes before he started to eat it...funny boy!He doesn't really like to sit still for pictures!
Jeff did lots of exercising this weekend...Saturday morning, he went for a run and then rode his bike to our friends house and went for another bike ride with him. I think he ran for about 45 minutes and biked for about 2 1/2 hours!! Seriously, I think he is amazing!! Then on Sunday morning, he went for another bike ride. He really enjoys it:) On Saturday morning, Kirsten, I and the kids went to BC Tree Fruits and picked up a bunch of peaches. Kirsten wanted some to take home and Jeff wanted 30 lbs so that he could make 10 pies!! Yes, you read that right...HE can make 10 pies!! I don't really enjoy making pies, they are so much work and time consuming. It was actually really cute, him and his mom make the pies together last night. He rode his bike over to his parents place after work(it's about a 40 min ride) and then he made pies over there from 3:30pm and he got home at 9:30pm!!! They make 13 pies. He can't wait to eat them:)

Three beautiful girls... Kirsten and I played a few games of Ticket to Ride! She is the one who introduced us to that game, so it was fun to play with her again. We went swimming at my parents pool on Friday afternoon and then we had dinner there. After dinner the kids decided they wanted to have a dance party!! On Sunday, Kirsten came to church with us and then she headed home after lunch. It was SO great to see you again Kirsten and we always love having you...come back again soon and bring your hubby with you!! A few weeks ago, our friends moved and were getting rid of their kitchen table set. I really like it and they said we could take it! We sold our old table set yesterday. I think the new set looks so much more modern and I really like the dark wood...
There are 6 chairs with the table and another leaf that can be added. I love that it makes into a big table, so we can have lots of people over for dinners!
And I think that's all for today!

That is a nice table set. We just got a new bedroom set, and it definitely is a nice feeling to look at good stuff.
