Very Busy

We had a very busy and very fun weekend here!



We enjoyed celebrating a baptism for my very good friend Lisa's son on Saturday, then we were treated to a wonderful Italian luncheon where we ate way too much. That bread alone gets us everytime.



Emma had a soccer game at the same time as the luncheon so of course grandma and grandpa saved the day again by taking her and Lauren. The game happened to be where the baptism was so it worked out really smoothly! Their team lost but Emma was thrilled about getting another goal.



Thanks to grandma and grandpa for KEEPING the girls the rest of the day and over night. I talked to Emma after the game and she instructed me that I could drop off her and Lauren's suitcases but I could not stay to visit. Alrighty then! They had a blast of course playing in the sandbox and at the park etc, etc.

I was able to get things ready for the shower today and boy was it nice to wash the windows without them getting slimed up 5 minutes later.



Then, we dropped Marina off and we went out with our next door neighbors who are a lot of fun. We went for pizza and beer and had a fabulous time. We haven't done that in years and we totally enjoyed it! THANK YOU THANK YOU Grandma and Grandpa.



This morning I went to church with the baby and was looking forward to a very peaceful time without the other two. Wrong!! I sat by the church's noisiest kids there and boy was that disappointing. Oh well, I'm sure mine have distracted a few families in the past.



Then we hosted a bridal shower for my cousin's fiance and had a really good time celebrating with her. We are SO excited to get together with all of our cousins for the wedding in October!! Emma had to call cousins Mason and Mackenzie in Hawaii tonight. We can only really call on the weekends because of the time difference and Emma thought it was so cool to tell Kenzie that she was getting ready for bed here. :) They will no doubt have a great time together in a couple of weeks.



That's it for tonight, I am wore out and am going to go to bed soon as long as someone cooperates. :)

I don't have any good recent pics to post so here is a pic of poor Emma's school paper. She had to write her name 50 times because she forgot to write her name on two assignments at school. It's kind of funny and kind of not. :) I asked her how many kids missed recess to write their name and she said "9" WOW, that's a lot of missing names. :) The 18 is just her number for things such as her hook for her coat etc.
