Weekend Wrap Up

The Suns game kick started our weekend of fun.  Friday night, we were so excited to have my family over to celebrate Luke's 5th birthday!  We hadn't seen him in a year and couldn't wait.  We had lots of salad, pizza, wings, and cupcakes.  It was loud as the cousins ran around finding every one of Owen's weapons to play with.  It wasn't until I was picking up after the party, when I realized we have every lightsaber, sword, nerf gun and weapon out there.  It's always fun catching up with the S. family and are so grateful for letting my Sis and our fam be a part of Luke's life.  Adoption can be so wonderful!! 

We went outside so I could get a few pictures.  Ha.  Livvy ran off to the park, followed by Kam trying to catch her, followed by Gigi cartwheeling down the hill, followed by Luke trying to catch up.  Owen just stood at the doorway laughing hysterically!!  Kam's loves to "photo bomb" my pictures by jumping in and being silly.  I actually kinda love it because most girls don't even want their picture taken. 

I finally got a picture of Kelli with Liv, Luke and Gigi.  The calm lasted for a whole five seconds before the kids were off and running around again.  It was a fantastic night and we can't wait to see Mr. Luke soon!!!  Owen and Luke have a lot of similarities.. only Owen takes after Carson and Luke looks just like my Dad.

On Saturday, we had a family party at G &G Simmons' house.  The triple digit weather didn't keep the kids indoors and we had a really good time.  While the adults were inside hanging out, I was outside monitoring Owen so he didn't jump in the pool.  Connor fell through and got stuck in the chair.

Kam is joining Connor at Jr High in the fall and I assumed they were talking "cool" things.. turns out they were talking about Naruto and video games.  I love the "nerds" in them. 

Meanwhile.. Owen wrestled everyone that would let him.  Rylee, Em, Luke and Tate let him wrestle and beat them up for a while. Owen LOVES to wrestle!

The girls.. they are growing up SO so fast!!  It seems like they were just playing dress up and playing make believe.

And for proof that I do exist... a picture taken from my first born.

It was a long, fun weekend and we had a great time!!  Sunday we spent a few hours with Uncle Rustyn, who is in town from San Fran.  Grandma K. was also around so we had another fun day. 

So far, our week has started out relaxing!!  Owen and I are getting ready to go grocery shopping for the week.  I'm pretty good about creating a weekly menu and only going to the store once a week.  Kam only has two days of school this week, so we have some fun planned!!   Thanks for reading. :)
