Weekend Fun!



I really am a lucky girl. I have a great family and the best of friends. We get together all the time and both the kids and adults have a great time. Friday night Kim, Kelly and the kids came over - I think, if i can remember that far back:)! Saturday morning we went to visit our friend Shannon and her 3 kids at their new(very kid friendly) house. In total... 9 kids from ages 11 months to 3!!! Everyone had so much fun exploring new toys, swinging on the set, and going down a big slide! Shannon was so sweet... she had fruit, muffins, and best of all... mimosa's! While Kim, Kelly, Ang, Shannon and I chatted about our hectic life, the kids burned a bunch of energy which actually payed off with good naps - including me. Saturday night Anthony and I got to catch up on Tivo and relax on the couch - it was a really good date:)! Sunday morning Kim and Kelly and the kids came over(for those of you that don't know, Don-Kim's husband-works the graveyard and Kim is sweet enough to make sure she is gone all morning so he can sleep). We usually go to Del Valle, but it was gloomy, so we stayed at my house. We had a really good time, until Abby vomited all over me - my face, my shirt, my pants. I almost yacked myself, but Kim quickly got me some water, Anthony grabbed Abby, and I got in the shower. I cursed at Kim that she better not take picture! Motherhood is so precious! After naps we headed over to Kim's for pool time. It was beautiful out. Between Trevor, T.T., and Ruby - they must have gone down the slide 30 time. Trevor - probably 60. He wore himself out so bad that he passed out on the couch with 3 kids yapping loudly by him. And seriously, Abby has to have a sore throat from laughing so much - that's her in the video. She refused to stay in the baby pool Kim set up. She wanted to be right in the middle of the rest of the clan. She got taken out a few times, went under once, and down the slide twice. She is so funny and so tough. I think that's what happens to the second child - they have to be tough to survive. With Ruby, she cries if she is crowded too much. She's a doll, but she's a wimp! It is amazing how different your children can be!!! p.s. it's not letting me add any pictures, so I'll add them later.
