Parties & the lake

Well, we had a busy but fun weekend. Friday night we had Carsons swim party. Then Saturday we had Bransons swim party in the neighborhood then it was off to Joseph & Chandlers swim party. After we left that party we went straight to the lake. Brookes friend from school Colby invited our family up to there lake house to eat dinner, swim, fish and tube. We had a great time. My mom called me at work Monday morning to tell me Brady said his ear hurt. I took him to the dr. that afternoon and he has swimmers ear. I guess after 4 pool parties and the lake I wasn't to suprised. Hope everyones had a great week. Say a prayer for my sister and Chad that everything goes smooth tommorrow and they are hoping to get the kids by Saturday.

IT'S A BOY & GIRL

My sister got a call this evening she has been waiting to get for months. Her social worker called to tell her that they have picked her and Chad to adopt a little boy and little girl. They are brother and sister and the little boy is is two and the little girl is one. Julie is meeting with them next Friday. They are white and both healthy(she said she would take any color). She and Chad are very excited. We are just praying that everything goes smooth and nothing happens between now and then. If you could just say a little prayer for them.

BEACH TRIP

We left Thursday morning for a long weekend at the beach with Marc, Sherri and the boys. Theyhad been down there since Saturday and asked us to come for a few days. We spent the days laying on the beach, swimming in the pools and lazy river. We went for seafood the first night and decided to stop at Wings to get shark tooth necklaces for the kids and ended up buying crabs. I was not real excited about this but since Carson and Kendel were getting them I figured I would look like a bad mom if I didn't let the kids get the crabs. I figured they are crabs they will die in a few days. Well one of Bradys did but they replaced it and we have 4 healthy crabs living in a cage in our living room. The kids had a blast and we enjoyed getting away. We got home around 8:30 Sunday night and my mom came and got the kids to spend the night. Well they went to bed late and got up early Monday morning so its now 8:30 am and they are both still sound asleep. I hope they are catching up on all the sleep they lost. Hope everyone has a great week.

4th of July

I am a little late posting these but been busy lately. We spent the afternoon at the Powers house swimming then went to church for a cookout and fireworks. Yes, that is Sherri on Heaths shoulders chicken fighting.

Beach Trip & going to be an Aunt - again!

We had a girls weekend Friday - Sunday at sheris place in Pirate Land. We had a great time eating, laying out and shopping.

The kids also did good for Heath. They spent the night with my parents Friday night so he got lucky but then he had to take them to two birthday parties alone on Saturday. We went to church Sunday night then the kids went and spent the night with my parents again so they didn't miss me to much. My brother ( yes, I have a brother) called last night to tell me that I was going to be an aunt again. My nephew will be two in August so I kind of figured it was going to happen soon. We are hoping for a girl but another boy would be okay as well. She is only around six weeks they think so we have a long ways to go.

motorcycle & exciting day

I am not really sure if this would be considered a midlife crisis or what. My dad bought a little honda just to mess around on. He says after he is comfortable on this one he is going to sale it and get something bigger. All the men in our church keep getting bikes so I guess they finally talked him into it. This is definetly something I never thought I would see.

Dressing barbies and taking pictures of them is one way we stay busy during the hot hours when I refuse to play outside. We also attempted to make brownies this week we had all the ingredients in the bowl except eggs and when I went to get them out of the refrigerator I realized we didn't have any so we just ate the peanut butter bites out of the brownie mix. We have such exciting lives, lol! I am going to the beach for a girls weekend! Hope everyone else has a great weekend.

V.B.S.

We finished v.b.s. last night and the kids had a really great week. We had around 80 kids each night. Tuesday night was splash night and we had pools, slides and sno cones. Thats the only thing I managed to get pictures of. I forgot my camera last night when they got their certificates.
