Lazy Weekend!!

Lazy weekends do not happen around our house very often.... but when they do we take complete advantage of it!! Friday night we had a "pallet party" in the living room... We try to do this at least once a month but with all the holidays its been several months since we have had the time. We bring our king size mattress to our living room floor and watch movies all night. Although Cayson ran fever all night long for no apparent reason, the kids still had a blast!!

The castle I had to help build when I got home!!

After a trip to the doctor's office Saturday morning to make sure Cayson did not have the flu, we were able to go to our friends Lauren & Clark Robinson's house for supper. They have 2 baby calves that we took the kids to bottle feed.

Thankfully Cayson did not have flu and has stopped running fever so we have ended our weekend with a lazy Sunday at home.

Hope everyone has a great week!!

Muffins w/ Mom!!

This morning I had the GREAT pleasure of taking Anna to "Muffins with Mom" at her school. I absolutely love going and being a part of activities at her school. Being a Mommy & Stepmommy is the greatest gift God has ever given me (I guess I need to add being a wife too??) lol! :) Anna had so much fun sitting around eating muffins, talking with her girlfriends, and waiting on them to call her ticket number for a door prize (which they never did).... I tried to explain to her that her Mel Mel is very unlucky when it comes to winning prizes but she still looked at that ticket every time they called a number... :)

Lindsey, Anna, and Paige (Sorry for the terrible quality but my phone has become retarded!!)

I wasn't able to be there but about 30 min but its the LITTLE things in life that mean the most.... and that we sometimes take for granted!! Once it was time to go and I told her bye, she came running after me in the hallway not wanting me to leave... So even though I really needed to get to work, I walked her to her classroom, helped her put her backpack up, and then walked her to Star Reach class.... I know she is not always going to want a parent at school with her walking her to class and hugging and kissing her in front of her friends so I said the heck with work... I wasn't passing up that chance....I love my sweet ANNA!!!
Hope everyone has had a great week!!! Be back soon!!

2010 Farewell!!!

Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011!!! Hope everyone had a safe and happy new year!! We finished up our Christmas this past weekend with Casey's sister from Texas. We only get to see them about 2-3 times a year so our visits are alot of fun!!!

We attempted to make them wait until Saturday night to open presents but they had to open "just one" on Thursday.

Friday night we had supper with Casey's dad

 

Since the weather for New Years Eve was so yucky, we decided to stay indoors at Casey's mom and have a "slumber party". We went ahead and let the kids open presents, made them a pallet on the floor, and watched Twilight and New Moon till 3 a.m. Casey's mom and sister are a "little" obsessed with Edward...

Casey's sister, Patti, bought Charlotte luggage for their trip to Forks this summer!!!

We finally got to shoot our New Years fireworks on Saturday night once it finally quit raining.

 He doesn't love fireworks yet!!

 but she sure does!!!

 love this picture!!

 and we had to play Patti's new Twilight game... which Casey won!!

2010 was a great year for us and I know 2011 will be amazing!!! We have been so blessed with a wonderful family!!! I know 2011 will be filled with lots of pictures so I will be back soon!!!
