This past weekend was very busy for our little zoo, we didn’t spend much time on the farm, instead we enjoyed visiting our family.
Saturday we awoke early and headed off to the Ogden Temple open house. We toured it with my parents and sibling, my sister and her family even traveled from South Dakota, it was so good to see them. We then spent the rest of the day visiting while the zoolings played with the cousins.
Sunday we went to my uncle’s ward (the name of an LDS congregation determined by geographical location) to hear my cousin speak. She just returned from an eighteen month long mission in Atlanta, Georgia. It was so good to see her again. We then went to their house for dinner. Most of my family were there, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins. It was great to see everyone, I love my family so much.
After dinner and a good long visit we had a little birthday party for Dadzoo’s mother, who turned 29 this year…..
Monday, the kids and I went on our usually Monday swimming outing with the family, for almost 25 years we have met Monday afternoon to swim with the kids.My aunts, cousins and their children are all there. Everyone has such a great time, swimming in the summer it very much looked forward to.
The very best of all our weekend activities: a visit to my midwife, where it was determined our little guy is growing big, strong, and healthy. I love midwifery care all of my concerns were addressed fully and “natural” or “crunchy” solutions given. I’m starting to feel as if I can relax, like this baby is really going to come. Its a good feeling.
This weekend was packed with fun and family, but now I must turn my attentions back to the farm and get things tied up before school starts in a week and I lose my helpers!
A summer thunder cloud rolling across our valley.
That sounds like a wonderful weekend, busy but wonderful. Those I think are recharge weekends. Public school has started here a week ago college starts next week for the 3 of us since I start this semester so I’m trying to fall clean, yard sale, etc before that happens.
Have a wonderful day!

What a lovely weekend! Being with family is the best, I am so glad you got so much time with so mentioned loved ones this weekend. The swimming tradition is awesome. Also really like how youthful Dadzoos mother is. 🙂 Yay for healthy baby boy, growing and doing so well.
LOL. I was in Ogden one day before you were there:) I am already missing those beautiful mountains and our Utah family.
Blessings,
