The Hoppers: Family Love!!

Well, what a weekend! And no I'm not talking about the crazy march madness! I am so excited that my parents came in Thursday and stayed with us until Sunday. While it wasn't the most exciting weekend, I sure had a wonderful time. My parents are fantastic! (Mark's parents are wonderful, too!)

Saturday, Mark and I went to Uncle Julio's with both his parents, his brother, and my parents. We were there to celebrate my birthday early and I could not of had a better time. Evan, of course, slept the entire time while we all had the chance to catch up. It is so great to get the chance to spend time with family. They never disappoint!!

Later that evening, my mom took me to get a haircut. I am sad to admit I had not had my haircut since a little before new years of 2010. Sad huh? I went in expected to just get an inch trim, but between my mom and the non-english speaking stylist, I somehow ended up with a four inch CUT. Needless to say, I am thrilled. I didn't want to get that much cut off, but it is much more functional and cuter. Well, at least in my opinion. We ended the night with a shopping spree to Nordstorms. I hadn't been shopping in a long time, so it was really nice to spend some time with my mom doing girl stuff. Thanks mom for a FANTASTIC time! It was much needed! And, just to toot my own horn, I bought a new pair of pants, size 4! Sure, once upon a time I was a size 2, but I am going to be happy with a size 4 now!!

In the meantime, Mark and my dad were at home with Evan. This was Marks first time alone watching Evan. He did an excellent job!! Mark called me once and I could hear Evan wailing in the background. Of course, I cried in the middle of Nordstroms , but Mark handled it well and pacified Evan. I came home and Evan was a very happy camper. I wish I could say the same about Mark, but I think he was glad his baby duties were over for the night. Mark made my night by watching Evan and giving my mom and me some time to do our thing! Thanks Mark! Crib sleeping is still going well! What can I say, he loves his room (and having non-sleep deprived parents)!!

Mom and I at Uncle Julio's. Can you tell it is windy??

Daddy and me!!
