round two

Hello everyone!
Last weekend we had our second round of parents, and our fourth round of visitors: My mom and Joe!
They got in late on Friday night and we all went to bed almost immediately because P & I were exhausted from work and they were exhausted from flying. On Saturday we woke up early and went to brunch at this amazing place called Morning Squeeze. They have literally anything you could ever want for breakfast (and lunch!) and crazy good coffee and plus! They serve almond milk for all of you lactose intolerant people such as myself. Basically, it was perfect. After breakfast we ran some errands including going to Costco to get dog food and essentials for the next week (a normal Saturday activity for us down here), and then headed back home.
After some seriously needed naps and snacks we got to catch up with my cousin Scot who lived in Phoenix and popped over for an hour. My mom and Scot are really close, and even went to Oregon State together. I think it was great for them to be able to catch up, and fun for us to hang out all together. Once Scot left we all headed to Ikea and my mom spoiled us rotten by getting us two nightstands for our guest room and new lamps for our room, and a bunch of other "really need this but would never buy it for myself" stuff like artwork, frames, lighbulbs, etc. Thank you so much, mom!! 
That night we [Paul] barbecued up some steaks, made quinoa [mom] and salad [joe]. Basically no one lets me cook.. ever.. and for good reason! After dinner we played sequence, an awesome board game thats kind of like connect four and dominoes with cards and I don't exactly remember who won but i know it was a ton of fun! Also, Joe is a complete card-shark! Who knew!?
Sunday morning we woke up early and ran to the dog park with my mom to wear out the pups after a weekend of being crated. Afterwards we came back and had Mother's day brunch with Scot and Tom which was amazing. My mom made her famous breakfast casserole- seriously this stuff is like crack, and we had mimosas too. Perfect brunch! After brunch mom & i quickly ran to the mall where my mom amazingly spoiled me with new work clothes.  Thank you. 

It was so wonderful being able to see my mom & brother, but super weird to have them stay at our house! Paul and I felt so grown up having my parent be our guest. Definitely a weird feeling!! This visit made me realize how lucky I was to be able to pop over to her house at any time and see them every day. I miss you and love you two so much! Thank you for coming!
