Labor Day weekend wrap up!

I really do not have anything specific to blog about but I thought that I would just give an update on some stuff.  We had a great Labor Day weekend as a family.  We really did not do a lot but we did get some great time in with family and friends.  We hung out with my husband's brother and his wife (my best friend) on Friday night.  Their daughter, our niece, is three months older than Brax and it is so fun to watch them play together.  Well I call it play but it's more like cat and mouse... following each other around and trying to steal every toy that the other one is playing with.  Saturday we hung out as a family and did things around the house then went to hang out with some friends at their house.  They cooked a great dinner and Peyton and Brax had a great time exploring their house.  Sunday we finished the laundry, packed up what felt like our whole house, and headed to the lake.  My step-grandmother has a lake house on Eagle Mountain and although we had no intentions of swimming  (we were both pretty paranoid with all of the talk about blue-green algae, etc) we were very excited to get away for the night.  There is no TV or computer at the lake house so it is really a time to just get away from everything, which we do not do enough.  My sister and Madelyn came out and I was so excited to find out that they were spending the night too!  We ate and hung out and played all afternoon/evening!  The babies got their baths and of course would NOT go to sleep.  I thought this is was only a problem that our child has but I guess Madelyn was having the same trouble that night too.  Brax will NOT go to sleep unless he is in his crib (or the car), so finally at about 9:30 Saturday my sister and I loaded up the babies and took a drive.  It was so good to have time with her while the babies fell asleep, definitely something we don't do enough!  Yesterday we got home about 12:45 and did stuff around the house.  Brax took a nap for 3 hours and 40 minutes (he was worn out!) so hubby and I were able to do stuff outside in the yard and finish up everything we needed to get done for a new work week (I was so glad we had completed all of the laundry before we went to the lake!).
