Time with Ken's mom, Adam comes for his 3 day weekend, Mother's Day,

Thursday afternoon Adam drove up for his 3 day weekend. We told him we weren't going to be home Friday, but that was ok with him. He's usually out traversing the country side anyway during the day.  πŸ˜Š We enjoyed the evening with him as always. 

 Friday morning we left at 0700 to head over to California for an early Mother's Day visit with Ken's mom in Carmichael.  We actually did well and got there a little after 1100.

Our oldest son, Bryan got there at about 1200. She was surprised to see him as we didn't tell her he was coming. 😁 Ken's older brother, Dave got there a little later in the afternoon. 

We had a nice visit with everyone until it was time to head for Russell's near 1700.  

We got to Russell's and visited with Lori until Russell got home. A little after 1800 we headed to Monk's Cellar in Roseville to have a delicious dinner a few adult beverages. 🍻🍷 Allissa joined us there as well πŸ’•

Eventually we headed back to Russell's to enjoy the rest of the evening.

Melissa and Christopher stopped by to spend some time
Always love seeing her.  πŸ’–

Blurry, but Russell approves of his beer πŸ˜€

Lori's "yard art" LOL. 

Saturday morning before leaving I made french toast and bacon for Aaron, Kenna and Russell.  Lori was enjoying her morning sleeping in. We left around 1030 to head home. 

Adam was at the house when we got home, he'd taken a hike earlier. Around 1700 we headed next door to visit with John, Karen and the furry kids. 😊

Yesterday was Mother's Day and it was nice being home. All the boys and more called or texted so it was a great day. Adam left for home around 1000 or so and we headed to the outdoor kitchen.

Ken changed it up a bit and had a Bloody Mary and I enjoyed a mimosa. A very nice way to start Mother's Day😍

Because he can't sit and do nothing for too long, Ken put up a few things for me, which made me very happy! 😊


Thank you Bryan, I love this sign πŸ’–

Found the perfect place for it! 

Thank  you Doug and Michelle! πŸ’™πŸ’–

We found the barbed wire and heart at the fair we visited 
last weekend. Found the perfect place for it πŸ’–


Later in the afternoon Ken used his air fryer and cooked some chicken and I added the veggies as our side. 

Thank you Russell and Lori. Hopefully I can keep them alive

We did go over and have Happy Hour with the puppies, which made them happy. Karen's in CA with John for the week so we're babysitting. Looks like tonight we'll spend the night with them. 

I've kept these alive for 2 years now..shocking! LOL. 

Our beautiful sunset last night from Karen's :) 

This morning we had to head for Carson City to get new tires on the 08 Patriot. Went to breakfast at Betsy's and a few minutes later the car was finished. Dropped Ken and then on to Fernley to Purcell tire to have new struts put on the 08. We'll pick it up sometime tomorrow. Wednesday it goes in for it's 15 year check up in order to keep the lifetime power train warranty in effect. A lot of driving this week! 

For now, it's time to head to Happy Hour with the pups next door! Have a great evening! πŸ·πŸΊπŸ•
