OUR "WONDERFUL WEEKEND WRAP-UP!"
I have to say, we have had one long, amazingly fun, adventure filled weekend at this house. I wish the kids did not have to go to school today, because we are all dragging around here.
With all the birthday celebrations and parties and food, it is a wonder how we are even moving today.
We ended our weekend with Grammie and Grampie Alkire coming to watch our workout of the day at the gym. I think they were a little shocked. We got home, fed everyone and settled down to watch videos that Grampie had made in Thailand, Dubai, and Afghanistan. Jaxi practiced chess, that Grampie taught him, Pudgie napped and we all relaxed. We finally made it into the pool around 4:30 and had a wonderful squirt gun fight.
Before we knew it, 6 o'clock rolled around way too fast and we rushed to get ready for Olive Garden. We had a wonderful meal together and ate way too much of their awesome salad. All through dinner we laughed, watched the boys play some more chess, colored and caught up on life in general. All the little ones, well, probably the big ones too, were absolutely exhausted by the time we got home. The weekend went way too fast and our time together was way too short. Grampie Ken will leave for Afghanistan soon and we won't see him again for quite a few months.
We are thankful for the wonderful time we did get with him during Binky's birthday weekend!!!!
It's time to wrap up Binky girls' birthday month. I am guessing this little girl had a great, never-ending birthday. We ended up the month at Wet-n-Wild with our family party. Grammie Diane, Auntie Kelly and I snuck in KFC to eat for lunch and Binky got to open the last of her birthday presents.
Grammie Diane gave her a new helmet to wear when she rides on her scooter, 8 gold dollars and a gift card to build a bear! She was over the moon excited.
Auntie Kelly and the girls gave her the cutest outfits... so she can party like a rock star when she uses the presents Jax and Pudgie gave her............
Tickets to see Miley Cyrus on September 25th.
Grammie and Grampie Jensen celebrated the week earlier with a surprise pizza delivery and another new family addition. This one I actually love. No feeding or messes to clean up!!
Happy Birthday Month Angel Girl!!!
