Ok, now that I have added pictures let me tell you about the weekend!!

FRIDAY!!! August 8th

Uncle Ryan's first day in town! Greg and Ryan met up with John and had lunch with him while John was on route. Then at 4pm they came and picked Aidan up to take out to Grandma and Grandpa's house. They played until I got there around 6:30pm or so. We ate dinner and then John FINALLY got there after he got off work and he ate. We hung out until around 10pm or so and then went home to get a good nights sleep for the BUSY weekend ahead.

Saturday, August 9th!

We hung out at home and cleaned and rested getting ready for the BBQ that Greg and Nina were hosting since Ryan was home. It was mostly Greg's family that made the BBQ and Nina's sister who lives in Kirkland. Ryan also had a buddy that he knows from grade school come with his family. Lots of kids it was rainy off and on and fun. Lots of good food too. After the BBQ I left to meet up with a few girlfriends for my friend Darcia's bachelorette party. John and Aidan stayed and they gave Aidan a bath and put him to bed. Uncle Ryan read him bedtime books and then Aidan went to bed. When I got back they were playing a card game as a family and sent me out for pizza. We ate pizza hung out and watched the end of the Mariners game. John and I then got Aidan in the car and headed home. It was around midnight I think. We were so tired.

Sunday, August 10th

BUSY DAY!!

We got up and I went to mass with my mom and Katie and her family. John went to Woodinville Alliance were he already committed to something that ended up not happening. So he and Aidan met us at the breakfast place we all went to. The 7 of us (Mom, Katie, Dave, Alexis, John, Aidan and myself) all had breakfast treated by mom!! Thanks MOM!! Then we headed down to visit Papa since this was his 2 year anniversary. We put flowers on his grave, Aidan's favorite part. The kids ran around and we all hung out as a family with Papa for a little while. We finally looked at the clock and it was 1:15pm, the time we were suppose to leave our apartment for the wedding. Oops, we didn't get to our apartment until the time that the wedding started. So I jumped in the shower quickly and got dressed. We left and got to the reception (missed the ceremony...boo) and I think we got there right after the ceremony ended. They started eating almost immediately after we got there which I was happy about since I was STARVING!!! We hung out and enjoyed seeing John's cousin Julie and her new hubby Ron along with the rest of the family. We headed home around 5:30pm and went to my mom's house where we had a BBQ with my cousins who were in town from New York. Also the other cousins/uncles in the area (Seattle area) were there too!! It was a fun potluck BBQ. After we went home and went to bed SO early it was unbelievable. Uncle Ryan also left the wedding about an hour after we got there to head back to San Diego. We sure enjoyed seeing him and can't wait to see him in December for another whirlwind trip around Christmas!!

So that was our weekend!! Hope you all enjoyed the photos and such.
