Weekend rewind

This weekend wasn't very busy for us.

On Friday we went to my sister's house to pick up some tickets that my so kind brother in law Gerric got for us. We were planning on visiting the L.A. County fair this weekend. Gerric's building offers a very good discount for tenants, so he was kind enough to pass us that discount, and we scored. Thanks Gerric!

Saturday :
got up a little later than usual. We took advantage since Adam didn't wake up until close to 8:00am! That is a record.
Made the boys breakfast, then got Erik ready for his Saturday Cathecism.
When I first signed him up, I put him in the 10:30 class so that he could sleep in a little longer on Saturdays. But since they wake up early anyway, I went to try to change the schedule to the 8:30am class. No luck.. classes were full for that time. BOO...

Anyway, after we picked him up, we drove to pick my mom up to visit Diego at the cemetery. When Diego passed away, I told him that we would try to take him flowers every weekend. I don't want his grave flowerless. So we try to make it a point every weekend to visit him and take him his flowers.
We left the cemetery and drove my mom back home.
We had offered for her to come with us to the fair, but she didn't want to walk in the heat. Besides, she said it was too tiring.
So after we dropped her off, we headed to Pomona.
This was a surprise for Erik. We hadn't told him we were going. So he was looking forward to his "surprise place". Erik LOVES fairs/carnivals and any amusement park with rides.
So when we got to the fair, he was super excited.

The first thing we did was head to the food stands. I had an outback burger and my husband had the outback hotdog. I LOVE hamburgers. I can have a burger everyday. But this burger disappointed me. I was starving and when I finished my burger, I was not satisfied. But oh well. I wasn't planning on eating anymore.

We then went to the landscaping/swimming pool area. I love to see all the landscaping to get ideas for our own home. Since Erik could not wait to get to the carnival, we then headed in that direction. He got on a few rides and played some game. Luckily when his pass was about to finish, he won a stuffed animal. So he was content enough to go home as we were! Since Adam is too little to do anything, we bought him a little monkey stuffed animal too. He loved it so much, he started to chew him up!
We then drove back to our home and watched a movie. The Ruins.. I don't know if this was one of those movies that didn't make it to the theater. But if it did, I wouldn't have paid to see it. It was ok, but not enough to pay for a seat in the theater.


Sunday:
Adam turned 9 months! wow, so fast! As soon as he woke up, I walked into his room and sang him his monthly song. Happy montly birthday to you! He must have loved my singing because he was smiling. But then again, he always smiles when he wakes up.

We didn't have much planned for that day. Went to eat at my favorite fast food place. Carl's Jr! Yummy.. Then we went to visit Diego again. Then headed to Babies R Us to buy Adam some fall clothes. I love Babies R Us. It is litterally a baby supermarket! We bought him some outfits as well as his Halloween Costume!
Then we went to Target as Erik had a gift card from there. We also bought him some pants and shirts from there too.
Headed home to do the usual laundry, lunch and just getting everybodies stuff ready for the next Monday.. I hate Mondays, but here we are again.
Happy Monday and week to everyone!

Fun weekend! We had Carl's on Sunday too! We were bad. Aww, I can totally see Adam waking up and smiling...that little boy is such a blessing. So I told you...if you want people to comment, start commenting on theirs! But honestly for me, it's more of a journal so I remember everything I've done. I smiled when you said Adam loved his stuffed animal so much that he starting chewing on it. HA! Oh how my godson loves fairs. When is the next one anyway...not until summer again right?
