Long Weekend = Good Times

This last weekend we headed up to Cache Valley to spend some time with my (Ben's) family. It's always so good to see those guys. Tenaya and Jason bought a house and we helped them move out of Grandma's basement and into their new home. Congrats!
On Saturday night the whole family (minus Jason and Tenaya due to settling in the house) decided to go bowling. Clayton and Landon brought their girlfriends, Krista (Clayton) and Kirsti (Landon). It was fun just to meet them and get to know them.
Afterward we went back to Mom and Dad's and had pizza, treats, and played the ever popular Mormon (Barnyard) Rummy. It was just the kids that played, Mom is always so busy, and Dad just won't play with us anymore, especially if Amanda's playing since about 97% of the time we play games she wins :)



We came home on Sunday morning and rushed to get ready for church since it started at 11 and then came home and made dinner for us and Amanda's family and Grandma and Grandpa Cheney. It's always good to see them, and visit with Grandpa even though he always falls asleep in the middle of a conversation.
Monday we went to breakfast with Anitta and Doug which is always a treat. We then went and did some shopping then went to a nearby park and played with the girls. Kiya finally likes going down slides now, instead of screaming whenever anyone goes near one. It was a great weekend all in all and we wish we could have more just like it.
P.S. I just have to add this on to Ben's post becasue it is not often that I beat anyone in bowling. I bowled and 102, thus beating my old record of 100, and getting second place out of every one bowling. Now for the greatest part not only did I beat Ben's score but I almost doubled it. Hooray! - Amanda
