Friday was my birthday and Lucas & I had some visitors. My mom, sisters, and Aunt Kathy made the trip to see us. I joked with them that my birthday was just an excuse for them to come visit Lucas...oh well...that is the way it should be from now on! We hung out at the house, I opened some presents, and then we headed to TGIFridays for some lunch and a quick stop at Super Target. We came back to the house for some cake and ice cream! It was a nice visit...oh and check out the AWESOME motorcycle Kathy won for Lucas! Wally got me a much needed spa package (massage, manicure, and pedicure)!
Saturday we had a lazy morning. Lucas took a nice long nap, Wally was at practice, and I relaxed and graded some of Wally's papers...you should have seen the stack! The afternoon consisted of some grass cutting by Wally and some shopping (Sam's Club and the grocery store) for Lucas and I and some playtime. I made a yummy porkchop dish for dinner, we hung out (oh and graded more papers, ha!), and had a few Bud Light Limes :)
We can go from the pouty face....
to the happy face in a matter of seconds!!
Sunday, of course, was Mother's Day - my first :) The day started off with church, then we headed to Cracker Barrel for some yummy breakfast, and then off to the Brookfield Zoo. It was a beautiful day! Lucas was asleep when we first got to the zoo, but as soon as he woke up, we put him in the baby carrier and Wally strapped him on - it was too cute (see pics below). Lucas was kicking his little legs like crazy! We ran into a teacher Wally works with that also works at the zoo so she got us some free tickets to the Dinosaurs Alive! exhibit. These dinosaurs were gigantic, but honestly neither Wally nor I were that crazy about it - good thing the tix were free! We of course enjoyed the monkeys the most - the gorillas are our favorite! The mommy was holding her baby gorilla, the daddy gorilla was sleeping in the corner (like he always does) and two of the others were chasing each other - too funny! Then it was time to take our little monkey home - he was exhausted. We got home, cooked some burgers on the grill, and I enjoyed my Sunday night shows (oh and I did help grade some more papers...is the school year over yet????) Wally got us tickets to see Mary Poppins in July - very excited about that!

All in all, it was a fun weekend with some beautiful weather!
