The soon-to-be Mr. & Mrs. Hagen: May 2009

For Mother's Day weekend, I decided to drive to Hawthorne to see my mom. This was the first time that took Tootsy in the car for the 5 hour drive without Palmer. We left after I got off of work on Friday, so we didn't get to Hawthorne til 11:00pm. Tootsy had no idea why the hell we were in the car so long and finally stopped whining about 45 mins into the drive. After her whining she slept the whole way, except for when we stopped in Beatty and she jumped into a fountain outside of the candy store. So I got to have a wet muddy dog in my car for the rest of the trip.

Here she is all twisted up in the seat belt. I had to buckle it behind her because my car will just beep if its not buckled. Somehow Tootsy got all wrapped in it.

The weekend was full of events, as always when I get to go home for 3 days. Saturday my mom and I went to get our cars washed. My interior was COVERED in Tootsy hair. Then I got to see Alexis and Norelle. Norelle is getting SO big. I didn't get any pictures of her though she was kinda cranky. Alexis, Elle, and I went over to see Calen and Mary's new baby girl. Caitlin is so cute and little; she looks just like Calen!

Here she is!

After I got some of my visiting done, I went back to my mom's and disaster had erupted! Something crazy had happened with her plumbing and all the toilets were overflowing and the water was coming out of the drains in the showers! So we could not use the bathrooms at all! My parents could not get a hold of any plumbers since it was Saturday and all. So I ended up going over to Palmer's Dad's and visiting them for a while. I got to see my chicken Seven, who now lives in Warren's backyard!

Seven blowing my hair all over!

Tootsy had no idea what to think of Seven. When Seven was flapping around on my lap Tootsy bit her! Nothing crazy mostly just in a playful way like how she plays with our cats, but I was glad Sally and Mike were there to help me calm Tootsy down!

Finally around 11:00pm my mom's house was functioning again, thanks to Gary & Rob! So I went home and went to bed.

On Sunday, I had breakfast with my mom and gave her her Mother's day stuff. We mostly just hung out all morning and then went to my little cousin Sydney's 2nd birthday party. The party was great! I got to see a bunch of my family. Its really cool to see all of my generation of the family, having babies and all those babies growing up together. There were little kids everywhere of course, and Sydney was so cute asking Diana to "open it" after she opened every present.

After the party I went to visit my cousin Ryan and his girlfriend Denise. They are also having a baby in October so I got to see the baby room and some of the baby stuff that they already have. I ended up staying over and visiting with them for 3 hours. It was really nice to get to just hang out with them, I haven't got to see them in a while.

Monday, Tootsy and I had to get in the car and drive home. I made Tootsy ride in the back this time because I didn't want her to get my clean car all dirty! Tootsy slept the whole ride! I was exhausted and had to call Palmer to keep me up for the last 30 mins of the trip!

Now we are home, but not for long; we are going to Utah this weekend to visit Palmer's family!
