Busy weekend!

We had a wonderful (but busy!) weekend!! :) Friday night, Natanee, Matt, and super-dog Sydney came down for their weekend stay. Syd stayed home getting to know Zack (who was hiding in the closet) and we finally got the Spencer's to dinner at our favorite Italian place - Armando's. It lived up to the hype, landing in Matt's famous Top 5 (this time, top 5 Italian meals).

Saturday was a busy day with Natanee's baby shower! Fortunately for me, Kandi and Mom came down early to help assemble tea sandwiches and the onesie "station" - we got done just in time! Whew!! In typical Katie and Kan fashion, there was way too much food....we wouldn't want anyone to starve. We celebrated Baby Boy Spencer to be with laughs and some cleverness - instead of games, we crafted custom onesies with iron-ons (Kan showed us all up by using a needle and thread!). Kari once again showed off her baking skills with a yummy checkerboard cake (blue and white, of course!) to top off the meal! Thank you to Kandi, Mom, and Kari for helping with the shower!! :) I so couldn't have done it without you.

Chuck and some of the husbands couldn't get away fast enough to the golf course during the shower. It rained ALL day (so rare for Colorado, especially in August!!), but they were able to hit the links at an executive course just North of us (they got a big soggy!). The boys came back after the girlie fun for a BBQ.

Just to top of living meal to meal (as Natanee's mom noted!). we went to breakfast this morning and said goodbyes to go to our next event - celebrating my birthday and getting together with Chuck's mom and siblings. We cashed in on the rain checks from last year's attempt at miniature golfing and played a round! Maddie had her own ball (purple) and club to keep her entertained, but I think the adults were more into it with our ever so classic "Hole in 2" Dance. We had yet another meal (no need for dinner tonight) at Red Robin and had a great time!! Thank you to Mom, Darby, Jeremiah, Alex, and Maddie for a fun day!!

I'll get photos of the shower and golfing posted soon. :)

So, we are a bit tired and definitely full from a fun weekend. The cat is happy to have his house back! Little does he know we are babysitting Timber (Stacey's yellow lab) next week and Trinity (Michael/Carrie's doggie) when Baby Garioto comes in September! Poor kitty......
