Nathan’s party

We had so much fun at Nathan's party. I loved his requested pinata, and how it turned out.

I thought he was done so I tossed his last two bites, and that was an epic mistake. His sweet Aunt Shannon sent him home with a nice large slice. He had a yummy snack the next day. This boy of mine loves chocolate, and dairy free chocolate is a special treat far and few between. Shannon made the cake dairy and egg yolk free so both Kaylee and Regan got to enjoy it.IMG_3082 IMG_3085

Grandma and Grandpa visit

Grandma and Grandpa came down for a few days to visit and go to a family friends wedding reception.

Joel saved our butts, and was ever helpful around the house. I am not allowed to use the lawn edger (some such nonsense about me losing toes….), and Jon in his current state cannot do the job either. SO best father-in-law ever knocked out this sweaty chore for us. The lawn looks SO much better now.

He also was our third driver/tier filler upper. Punk kids deflated a couple of the vans tiers, and that popped out a nail from one of them. So Joel filled them up and followed Jon to the tire shop to get the hole fixed, took Jon to work, came back over to the house, finished edging, waited for me to get back from taking Kaylee to school, then went with me to pick up the van and take it Jon so he would have a car to drive home so I wouldn't have to worry about picking him up after work. Longest winded sentence ever.

IMG_2605The children asked if they could go into the foyer and get their wiggle out.  GO.WIGGLE.IMG_2610The bride and groom had a PINATA! Hello. LOVE.THEM. I so want a reception do over so I can have a pinata. How fun is this?!

IMG_2686A Sabbath miracle! Everyone is looking AND smiling.

IMG_2687Oh, wait. That's better.

Good times people. Good times.

Labor day

I asked Jon to take pictures of the festivities. He took four pictures. FOUR! I found out in the car on the way home. Three of the four where decent.

Me: Only four pictures?

Jon: There's only so many pictures you can take of people swimming.

Me: Um, no. There's LOTS of pictures you can take of people swimming.

Meanwhile we had a blast with family and friends. Jack'ee even drove up to spend the day with us. We got to see her two days in a row!
