The Martens Crew: A Busy Weekend!

Well, we had good intentions to relax this weekend...but I guess that just wasn't a priority! Instead it seems like we were running around doing fun stuff all weekend instead! Saturday Kurt went to play golf with his Dad and brother at DCC. His Mom was sweet enough to keep Sienna that morning and I got to enjoy a nice relaxing morning at home- wow, that never happens anymore! I loved sleeping in, enjoying my breakfast, cup of coffee and catching up on The Bachelorette! Then after golf my mother in law took me and my sister in law shopping! We got some cute clothes and accessories and enjoyed a yummy Starbucks too! That night Kurt's Mom fixed us a great meal to celebrate our niece Riley's 4th birthday!

Sunday we decided it was about time to start checking out churches around here! On my sister in law, Cara's, excellent recommendation we attended Preston Trails. It is only a few minutes from our house and is a bible church with a band and lots of cool technology. We really enjoyed it and will probably check out a couple more churches before deciding on a church home. That afternoon we went searching for furniture. Some of you already know that we have an offer on a house in Prosper (just north of Frisco, where we live now). It is a short sale, so we are waiting on the bank to approve or counter our offer. Our lease is up at the end of July, so we needed to start looking for some furniture soon. We need a breakfast table, a new living room set (our current set will go in a game room), and bedroom set. We spent about 4 hours at Stacy Furniture in Allen and picked out a really nice leather couch, and two club chairs and an ottoman in contrasting fabrics. We had fun working to design our own space and Sienna was such a good girl while we were there.

We had decided Monday was the day we were going to take Sienna to the pool for the first time! We are members at Lifetime Fitness and so we took her up there in the morning as soon as we could get everything together. She wasn't quite sure about the temp of the water- not that I can blame her- it was a little chilly! She did get used to it though and enjoyed sitting in the sloping shallow end kicking her legs! We were actually able to stay for 3 hours and she just slept in her stroller in the shade. The two bummers were: first we did not have what they considered a "coastguard approved" float and therefore could only hold her in the pool, second you cannot take pictures at the pool as I was promptly informed since they have had a problem with pedophiles in the past! Needless to say were were pretty annoyed with all their rules by the time we left the pool! I understand the need to keep everyone safe, but it all seemed like a little much! We can't wait to have a neighborhood pool!

Monday night we went over to our friends Heath and Staci's house for some yummy burgers that Heath grilled and just enjoyed spending some time with friends!
