What a wonderful staycation. It started off on Friday at 5pm! Grammy came to babysit and we went to dinner with friends and then went and dropped anchor in the lake and drank some beer and hung out in the water! Saturday, we had another babysitter and we went to Kevin's parents 50th wedding anniversary party. It was a great time. They had an Elvis impersonator. It was hilarious. Kevin put me in charge of his camera and I took 302 pictures.....never give a drunk woman a camera and say have fun!!! Sunday Tanner and I went to a wedding shower for Sara and then came home and we relaxed. Two late nights with babysitters made us TIRED! On Monday, was Tanner's 3rd birthday. We went to Chickfilet for lunch and then to see Ice Age 3 in 3D. Colton crashed during the previews. Tanner did well, got a little restless though. That evening we met up with Mike and Staci to have dinner at Double Dave's Pizza in Mansfield. The kiddos had a blast. Tanner made a little boyfriend, and Colton was a rock star at air hockey!! We adults enjoyed the beer so much we decided to come back to the house and have a few more. The girls had not planned to come over so they did not have their suits, but who cares....they are 2 & 3 so they did a little skinny dipping! They were so funny......Colton was sleeping! The next morning we got up and went to Hawaiian Falls in Mansfield. It was so awesome! the kiddos loved it so much that next year we are going to get season passes! Tanner was your typical dare devil! Wednesday, the kiddos hung out with their cousin Elizabeth all day. We did a little shopping and then finished the evening at the ball park with dad watching his game. Colton actually really enjoyed watching. He mimicked everything the guys did on the field....good and bad! Tanner enjoyed her first snow cone. They had sugar free ones! We hung out at the park and had some beers then headed home. I got a call from my friend from work that evening delivering bad news about his parents. His dad and mom were in a motorcycle accident on vacation in SD and his dad was killed and his mother was in critical condition. His mom is stable now, but has several surgeries ahead of her. I have been doing a lot of praying for is family. We are attending the funeral tomorrow. Thursday was pretty low key. We had to start getting things ready for Tanner's birthday bash on Saturday. My friend Cathleen came over and shared some wine and we worked on a couple things. Had a great visit! The kids and I went and picked up my Mom on Friday to do all the shopping for the groceries for the party. Mom came back and spent the night and Cathleen came back and helped with the prep of all the food. What a doll!!! Mom and I had some drinks and watched Hitch. It was fun. Seth went and did the guy thing out at the lake with the guys. Saturday was Tanner's birthday party. It went off without a hitch! It was so much fun. Tanner was such a rockstar on the water slide. After the kiddos went to bed us girls enjoyed hanging out in the kiddy pools and having some drinks! Sunday we went to Kole's 1st birthday party and got to swim in a REAL pool. Colton was such a little frog! He loved it and Tanner was jumping off of the diving board! Now it is Monday.....back to the real world!!!! Gotta love it!
