gotta get down on monday

it was a beautiful day!!!!!!

75°+!!!

addie was even complaining that it was hot!

(like complaining a lot)

hahaha, here is the ugly outtake of the above picture.

we had missionaries and mccombs over for dinner.

after dinner josh and chris set up christian's batting cage.

that was super sweet because i was gonna have to help, so it was nice that josh stepped in!

laney got lots of lovins. :)

and also lots of cake.

lots of cake.

we all took turns batting, even yours truly.

the rest of our day was good and busy too:

*alexis drove to seminary and school for the first time ever. it's pretty sweet so far!

*matt worked the late shift again, but because he's been so busy he went ahead and went in early anyway.

*i crossed off a lot of things off my to-do list

*we met up with a big group of friends at dorsey park for a fun and warm playdate

*christian mowed the grass so now we're ready to put out our fertilizer and grub control that i bought, all by myself, on saturday. i am pretty proud of myself. i know it's really not any big deal, but we decided to cancel our lawn service (that we hired last year to take some of the stress off when matt started school) and since matt's been so busy and gone so much, i decided i could put on my big girl britches and go to lowes and figure out what to buy, or at least get a helpful employee to tell me what to buy. i had the list of what our lawn service was going to do to guide my efforts, but lowes was bumping and i felt like it would be silly of me to ask advice when they were that busy. i really just wanted to leave, but i thought to myself, no, shell (that's what i call myself in my head), you can do this. and i did. and i'll do it again next month!

*alexis finished her 3rd day of training, only one more till she's legit!

*both she and matt made it home in time for some late dinner and some mccombs visiting.

*a certain someone's prom dress got here.
