Weekends go way too quickly

I wish that all weekends were three day weekends. Two days just doesn't seem long enough.

Friday, Madi and I hung out at the house in the evening while Brandon went to supervise the Energy Bowl football game at the high school. The Energy Bowl is the game where we play our rival team from Sheridan. Apparently the game did not disappoint the multitude of Sheridan fans who made the two hour drive to the game as the Camels not only had their first challenging game, but also their first loss of the year.

On Saturday, Brandon got up early to go help a colleague do some dirt work at his home. Madi and I went over to Brandon's parents house to help tie blankets. We had a lot of fun helping Amber (Brandon's brother Brad's girlfriend) cut and tie the fleece. We made two blankets, one is a Denver Bronco's blanket for Amber and Brad's baby Aiden who is due to arrive November 6th. The other is a pink breast cancer awareness blanket for Brandon's mom Karen. I should have taken some pictures of our afternoon, but my parents borrowed our camera for their two week trip to the east coast.

Saturday evening, Brandon and I went into town to go look at a truck that was parked at one of the car dealerships in town. We sold my car to Brad and Amber in June and Brandon has been driving his grandmother's truck for the past 6 months. We have been looking for a truck for him for the past month or two and thought we had decided on a Ford. Anyways, the dealership was closed, but the truck wasn't what we wanted anyway. On the way back to get Madi from Brandon's parents house, we drove through the dealership across the street just to see what they have. Long story short...we bought a truck. It is a 2006 Lincoln Mark LT, not at all what we were looking for but it is a VERY nice truck and the price was reasonable. Here is a picture:

So that means that today, Sunday, we spent the day organizing the garage so that our two large vehicles will fit. After trying a few arrangements we finally have it so that I can open the back door of the Tahoe all the way to get Madison in and out of her carseat. Now we are relaxing watching the Bronco's game, but neither of us is ready to go back to work tomorrow. :)

This is a busy week. Madison has her 6 month checkup on Monday and I have an appointment on Tuesday. We are supposed to have an ultrasound to verify the due date and I am excited to get to see baby number 2. Yea! I will be posting updates as the week goes on to let you all know how the appointments go.
