    ANOTHER SUPER WEEKEND

    2 Comments

    Kevin and Liz came to play Friday night and Saturday! They have 4 kids – a 6 year old, 5 year old twins, and a 2 year old, we were excited to play with them and have a sleepover. When 1 sibling comes to town it’s a party so Ryan brought his 4 girls, ages 10, 8, 5, and 2 and Joel, Brady, and Kelsey spent most of the weekend here. So we had 12 kids and 8 adults. (Tara if you are reading this you need to know that if you can’t get off work for the next ‘party’ then we are going to have to move the happenings up north to your place! – we all missed you.) We just played all weekend and stayed up to late. Kelsey was my camera girl so here’s documentation of the fun.

    The Game Table - Dominion, Bonanza, Monopoly Deal, For Sale, o shucks, Zooloretto ... (and Joel's friend Kristina)

    Kids playing in the uncarpeted play room. Our house really felt bigger having one more place for the kids to go - it was great.

    do you think Benji was excited for a sleep over????

    They were ALL excited and wanted to sleep in the new room even without carpet. This was Cali's first time not sleeping in a crib!!

    On Saturday we just hung out, more games, a trip to the park and of course watching a KILLER BYU game.

    This guy got in a car accident on Tuesday before they came. He totaled his car and we are pretty sure his hand is broken but he was lucky enough to walk away.

    he had CDs in the visor and you can see where each one got him on the forehead.

    Rose threw a big old fit anytime anyone would take her chip bags at dinner - can't believe she's old enough to throw fits over that!

    Everyone had to leave Saturday night and Sunday morning so we got some recovery time in after church. But we did get to go celebrate some Nettesheim birthdays after dinner so the fun continued. We love our families!

    Rose: is ready for cereal! she loves to eat.

    yummy to my tummy - 5 1/2 months

    Cali: is thinking that she is to big for naps – 🙁 – last week she only took one nap. I am not ready for this 27 month old to be awake all day so I am happy to report that she did take a nap yesterday and is taking a nap right now.

    to big to fast - she has also started jumping off of the ledge and doing backward somersaults off the couches.

    Packer: This guy came in the kitchen a few days ago to tell me: “I stuck my finger in that thingy and it stung it.” I had no idea what he was talking about so we just went on with our day. A little while later we were in the new toy room and he showed me the light switch that didn’t have the cover on that he had stuck his finger in and gotten shocked!

    THE STINGY THINGY, I quickly put the covers on!

    Benji: This guy went to play at Bradley’s house again and while there he and Bradley went in a closet to play. Well once they were in they couldn’t open the door to get out because the door knob was broken from that side! Benji said that they both got scared and started crying and screaming for help. No one was coming because they were downstairs and everyone else was upstairs. Then they remembered that they could say prayers to ask Heavenly Father to help them. He said that they prayed that Bradley’s mom would hear them and come open the door. He also said that they said the prayers out loud, he said about 13 prayers and Bradley said 15! Well we think they were in there for a good 40 minutes until Bradley’s mom did hear them and let them out! I’m proud of them for their faith!!

    Ben: A good way to scare your husband is to clean out from under the bathroom sink and leave the pregnancy test box on top of the garbage. Ben came down a little worried and pale looking that night :).

    toy room is painted!! where's the best deal on carpet???
