We've had a busy last couple of weeks. Last weekend was Jack's 8th birthday party (and also Mom's 40....something birthday...I'll just say she is now closer to 50 than 40!) Jack got a puppy for his birthday that he absolutely loves. Everyone had a good time at the party. Jack had a hard time at first, when I got Lani in a dress before the party, and made Jack mad because everyone was paying attention to Lani and not him. He didn't understand why everyone was paying attention to Lani, when it was HIS birthday party! The day ended with a dance-off in the basement, and Jeremy ended up walking away as champion although Brianna and Ashton worked the hardest and walked away soaked in sweat!
Drake was pooped after Jack's party. He didn't have a nap and was completely wore out. Uncle Joel's lap was the perfect place to crash!
Tuesday I went to Six Flags with Aunt Di and the Ford kids. Of course, I couldn't ride any rides, but I did go on the old cars and the Scooby Doo ride. Jesse and his friend went on almost all of the rides in the park, and Joelle went on the mine train twice! She's much braver than I was at that age. I think I was a teenager before I rode the mine train! We had a few mishaps during the day, but we made it through. The lunch meat for lunch didn't make it into the cooler, but Aunt Di packed some peanut butter, so the kids didn't go completely hungry! The kids didn't get to enjoy the water park because there was thunder, so as soon as we got there they stopped all rides/pools for at least half an hour because of the weather. It ended up being a good day, and I was happy to get out of the house for a day!
Yesterday Joel's cousin was married. It ended up being a very long day. The wedding was at 2 and then we went to the nursing home to visit Joel's great aunt. We got to the reception around 5 and was home by 9:30. I had a headache and was very tired, and just wanted to come home. The wedding and reception were both very nice, and Joel enjoyed seeing all of his family.
