Saturday in a nutshell

We had such a great short trip yesterday. We left a little late because Cody washed our car inside and out but I'm so glad he did, it feels so much better in there. It was dusty and dirty with trash everywhere and at least 3 rotten sippy cups floating around- yuck! I managed to get there just in time to miss helping my Aunts decorate (I swear I didn't do it on purpose) so to burn a little time before the party Cody took the kids to eat lunch and I went to JoAnns. With Cody's new job he has been getting home very late so he hasn't gotten to spend much time with the kids lately, some nights he didn't see them at all so it was nice to have an entire day with him. I was impressed that Cody took the kids inside the restaurant to eat- alone. All 4 of them by himself, something I wouldn't have done and the reason our car looked like it did ;o).


JoAnn had an awesome sale, I just wish I would have had a little more time and $$ and I could have done some serious damage. I found everything I need to make Kennedy the cutest girliest quilt ever (top and back with trim and thread-everything!) and even got some scrapbook paper, material for a new belly band for me, and some funky orange fabric for who knows what all for under $25. I love awesome fabric that's on sale, it makes my heart sing and my sewing machine quiver. I miss having a place to shop here... sniff sniff.

~Grandma and Grandpa~
The Anniversary dinner was fantastic. It looked great, the food was awesome, I brought a ton of it home for today including an entire bottle of Olive garden salad dressing- Tina I LOVE you! Almost everyone was able to come- we missed you uncle Joe and family and Kira! I loved seeing my family again. I didn't love the slide show they played all evening. It was great except for the picture of me in a Halloween costume I had to wear to work when I was pregnant with Jeremy, as if being a pregnant adult wearing a ridiculous costume wasn't enough. Thanks mom. The funniest thing about the evening was when Grandma and Grandpa opened their gift. The kids decided to send them on a cruise to Mexico so they filled a gift bag with self tanning cream, sunglasses, sun block, a model cruise ship, and fake passports with their names on it and they still didn't understand what was going on, so cute.
~My Mom and Dad~
Dad, this is what you get for trying to make faces at me when I was taking your picture- it's your own fault.

~Jeremy~
Refusing to smile but not being able to help himself so he covered it up, stinker.

~Ashlyn~
~Mary~
This is not an innocent face, see the blow up microphone. It was her weapon against the boys.

~Cody and Kaci~ Kaci was a monster yesterday and we noticed when she finally fell asleep around 8 that her cheeks were red and she was warm- great. So I stayed home from church with her today and I just hope she didn't infect anyone yesterday. Most people gave her a pretty wide berth, she kept screaming and hitting so I'm pretty sure no one will get it ;o).

Have a great Monday.

  3. Sounds like the trip went great! Glad you got to visit the mother ship aka.. JoAnn's, wished I could have shopped with you, although I was there in shopping spirit.

    That cracks me up that you grandparents didn't get the cruise gift. Are you sure they should go, out of country, they may not return. just kidding.. Kinda.. :):)):):):)
