On Monday we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Nettesheim’s house and picked some strawberries and cherries!! The kids loved picking them and thought it was pretty neat to eat them as they went. It was great time spent with their grandparents!
Cali lost a tooth on Sunday. It’s her first one… She was biting open the SPOT IT game and she broke it loose. It was super wiggly and sore and then 24 hours later it came out during dinner time!. It’s a little early. The new tooth is not ready to come in but…. She’ll be toothless on the bottom middle for a while. SHE was EXCITED though for the TOOTH FAIRY to come!! and SHE came and we have a happy toothless gum chewing with a dollar in her pocket 5 year old 🙂
We had a good Fathers Day this year… Ben is such a good dad. He is so much fun. He works hard to support us. He puts all of us first. Ben got lots of love from his kids. We had dinner and then headed to His Dad’s house for Dessert. We had Sundaes and chatted and enjoyed being with family. Ben’s dad is great. He is also a very hard worker with a strong testimony. Ben inherited and learned a lot of good qualities from his Father.
I didn’t get to see my dad but we chatted on the phone a little. I was looking through our family messaging and there were some good pictures of my Dad this week. I thought they described him well. Fixing cars, Baseball game, Toughing it out, Good Friends, Family, Church Service. My dad has always worked hard and provided for his family. He always serves 100% and willingly. My dad can fix most things. My dad supports his kid. My dad enjoys travelling and adventure. I love him.
Really our weekend wasn’t that crazy to be called weekend Warriors but I have been so tired since the weekend that I’m using it. Every time I sit down to blog I fall asleep within minutes. My brain is just fried and my body exhausted. I had 2 extra kids all week and then I hurried around Friday after the pool so that I could go to Katie J’s wedding. All of the Jagoda’s were there and I got to spend most of the evening chatting with Jennie and LaNell so it was fun.
After the reception Ben and Ryan and Brady and Sean and Eddy were ready for some games. We played 7 Wonders with both expansion sets. That’s still a good game.
Saturday was busy! Ryan and I got up and got the kids ready and went to 7 Peaks right when it opened! It was a chilly morning but the water was warm and there were NO lines! Ryan and I got to Ride the Diaper a few times and the toilet Bowl. It was fun being with my brother – it felt like I was a kid again – just for those few minutes. Benji rode the toilet bowl with me and I convinced Benji, Cali and Rose to go on one body slide with me. We spent most of our time in the wave pool and lazy river. It was cold but worth it. We left a little after 12:00 when all the people started coming.
It was nice of Ben to stay home with Ray and Millie and get the yard work and shopping done!
Then Sean and Eddy and C-way came over. Ryan and Ben made dinner. Sean and the guys helped me get the waverunners dropped off at the shop. We ate. We watched the Italy/England game. LaNell came over and Pete’s family was next door at Falabella’s so we all mixed and mingled. Joel and Megan came. Cali broke her tooth out! and I hurried and took Ryan and girls to the Trax station at 7:50pm. Sean left. Joel and Megan and Brady hung out a little longer. I eventually crashed and luckily had mostly everything ready for Father’s Day.
Last week we invited my nieces Marlee (8) and Brinlee (6) to come stay with us while their mom and sisters went to girls camp. We had a fun week. My kids love having cousins around. We played at home a lot but we did few fun things as well. They came Monday night and on Tuesday we went to the Splash Pad.
On Wednesday we went to the Mall for Millie’s pictures and looked around and played while we were there. We got Frosty’s on the way home and played until my soccer game that night.
On Thursday we stayed home all day and watched the first game of  the world cup. The kids played at the play ground and played soccer and just played hard.
And on Friday we went to the swimming pool in the afternoon and then we kicked off a busy weekend. I went to a wedding reception and Ryan and the older girls came to spend the night and we played games until 1 or 2 am. But we had a lot of fun with Brinlee and Marlee. Brinlee wouldn’t talk much to me but she got along great with the girls. Marlee and Benji and Packer all played well and got along great. We enjoyed watching them.
