A weekend with the Berrie Family

This past weekend Trent and I went to visit my parents. We haven't been to visit them in quite some time so we were excited to visit them in their new house. I also have a new niece that I couldn't wait to meet. She is absolutely adorable!

We got a chance to go shoot our gun with my brother. "Our gun" is actually the gun I bought for Trent's Christmas present last year. It's an M&P 0.40 cal. and I loved shooting it. I've been so scared of it but my brother asked me a good question. He said "If someone breaks into your house, will you know how to shoot your gun"? And the truth is...I wouldn't have the faintest idea how to shoot the gun. I was scared of it!! BUT after Wade showed me how to load, cock, and aim the gun, it seemed less scary. I actually have pretty good aim too!! Burglars beware...Nothing in our home worth dying for.

    After shooting, we went home to check on our beast (Cal's nickname) and see how he was behaving for mom. He was having a great time with his granny!! Mom cooked us some amazing dinners which included delicious dessert. I gained 1.6 pounds from this weekend but it was totally worth it. Okay - maybe I snuck  some oreos between meals, but I've lost 48 lbs so far!!


Later that night Trent and I pushed Cal around the neighborhood in his stroller. He had a blast looking at all the lights and feeling the cool breeze. We also watched for toads on the sidewalk- they were everywhere!! Every night we take Cal for a walk because he LOVES being outside! It's also a time when Trent and I can talk about our day.

Sunday my niece was given a sweet blessing by my brother. We were so happy to have a chance to be a part of this sweet little girl's blessing. She was also one of the first babies I've heard cry during a blessing...and I loved it!!

Calvin enjoyed being with his family, but he loved being with granny the most :)
