An Extra Day of Rest

They don't come very often, but this was a wonderful 4 day weekend for me!!! And I enjoyed every peaceful moment of it.
We barbecued today - Del really needs to focus a little more when he is at the grill. We were watching a football game AND playing Make a Million. I mean, not even Lacey would touch those hot dogs and I really had to beg her to even eat one of the hamburgers....and she eats dead rabbits!!!! We salvaged what we could and then enjoyed the potato salad and fruit...
The highlight of the weekend??? BYU BEAT OKLAHOMA, of course!!!!! Yep yep yep!!! But to watch Sports Center or ESPN, you would have thought Oklahoma had played themselves!!! Of course, Oklahoma is getting so much news time because our defense sacked their quarterback and took him right out of the game; and he's a Heisman Trophy winner!!! So it's been all about 'how Oklahoma is going to do now that their star player is out for 4 weeks or so'... But, BYU has had a few positive reports and some complimentary articles about them also. All in all, BYU had a great weekend and looks to have a really good season if they keep it up.
Good to have Kylie and Mike over to play games and share the 'burnt offerings'...Jordan called after spending the day with uncles, aunts, cousins and grandparents in Utah. He will travel up to Idaho tomorrow morning and get moved into his apartment and then go buy his books. School starts Thursday for him.
Yesterday was our Michael's birthday. He would have been 26. Kylie and Kathryn pulled out some old photo albums and baby books yesterday and we looked at them sharing some fun memories together. They don't even know Michael - it's so sad to think that he was gone before they even came. But they had a fun time looking at their pictures from Idaho and Utah. I'm thinking of scanning a few of our earliest pictures from when we didn't have digital camera's. I don't want to ever lose some of our most precious memories. It will be a great project for me to start...
Maybe during my next 4 day weekend...
