Weekend Fun!

Bobby had already left for work on Thursday evening, and I was about to get comfy and veg out to a Lifetime movie when I got a GREAT phone call. It was my sister and she was calling to let me know that she, my brother-in-law, nephew and my MOM were coming to visit me for the weekend! I miss my family SO very much and I am always so excited when they visit. Thursday night and friday drug on, and finally friday night rolled around and they were here! It was a fun weekend... We got went to pick up my bridemaid dress, had a yummy lunch, then headed to Hobby Lobby to look for centerpiece items! After getting home and being lazy for a while my Mom, Sister and I headed to Chilli's for some girl time.. SO FUN! The boys had a blast with everyone! This was the first visit that my nephew was able to actually play with Jakob and Aiden... it was quite cute watching them all! Here is are some pictures of them:

After all of that playing they were pooped and crashed out:

Isnt he sweet!

As always I was very sad to watch them go! Although I do have quite a few things to look forward to... a trip to Idaho very soon, another visit from my family (including my DAD :) in early Sept, two weeks in Cali for my sisters wedding in October, Jakob's Bday party Oct. 11th, Thanksgiving with my family at my house, and Melody's wedding in November in Cali...FUN!!

Anniversary Luau

A few weeks back my family and I packed up for a trip to California! This was a special trip because we went to celebrate my parents 25Th wedding anniversary!! My siblings and I threw them a Luau themed bash.. it was SO fun! Here are some shots of the night:

Here is the honorary couple:

The party was alot of fun! Cheers to twenty-five years!!

Jakob's First Day Of Preschool

Here are some pictures of my sweet little man before his first day of school!

I was very a little worried that he was going to be timid, but he jumped right in! As soon as we got there he ran and started playing with a couple kids, not one tear shed.. well at least not by Jakob! Aiden FREAKED out that we were leaving Jakob behind and had a FIT all the way out to the car. One chocolate milk and about ten minutes later he was fine, and we ended up really enjoying our special time! When we went to pick Jake up they ran to eachother and hugged like it had been years since they had seen one another! It was very cute!

He had an AWESOME time at school, and LOVES his teacher! He was so excited on the ride home, he just went on and on about every detail! I am so proud of him! I cannot wait to see how the rest of the year goes!!

Adventures with Papa

It is no secret that Jakob LOVES his Papa! In fact they are inseparable when we visit! Aiden has begun to follow suit and always seems to be right on Papa and Jakob's coattails. I was one lucky little girl growing up because my father has a huge imagination. He would make treasure hunts, build forts and playhouses... I has a VERY fun childhood. It is so fun as an adult to sit back and see my little guys having so much fun with Papa! Here are some shots from our last visit in June:

Jakob got to take a special trip to Papa's work at the Power Plant:

Here is all ready to go:

Isn't he adorable:

Just like his Papa:Working Hard :) :There isn't a day that goes by that I don't hear stories about going to Papa's work! This is something he will never forget!

Another big event is always Papa's Famous Treasure Hunts!! I remember LOVING this as a kid... in fact a couple years back he made each of my siblings and I a treasure hunt. We drove all around town picking up clues from bookstores, our favorite pub, and even a gas station! It was a blast, and we each got some SWEET loot at the end. My father has started a tradition of making the boys a hunt each time we visit! Here are some shots of the most recent:

Finding Clues:

The last adventure of this post would be stargazing! My Dad has a really cool telescope and Jake, Aiden and Papa had a wonderful time checking out the moon and stars:

Back in Action :)

Along with the fact that my computer was having issues this week, things have been pretty busy around here! I will be posting tommarow :) Just wanted to let you all know!!
