Young and Hip

My sister, her husband, and dog came over last night and they brought their Wii system. We had a really great time. Owen was a perfect gentleman at dinner and I caught myself thinking how old he seemed. Now that both boys love their dog, they remained entertained by him the whole time.

After dinner Owen had his turn at Guitar Hero.

He loved it!

EJ and I dueling it out in the boxing ring.

Alex and the boys.

EJ was really good at Guitar Hero. I on the other hand stunk!

I told my sister I felt so young and hip playing the Wii! Thanks for sharing.

Good Times!

The four of us traveled to the Cassada's house on New Year's Eve and spent two nights with their family. Pat's parents were gracious enough to babysit for 7 children (under the age of 7) so that four couples could go out to dinner on New Year's Eve. (Most of the children were already in bed) Although two of the kids woke up before we came home, Mason being one of them. His parents were actually delighted to have time with the smallest ones.

I didn't get EJ in this picture, oops.

The kids had their own "cheers" at lunch the next day.

Rebekah was so great with Mason. She kept a great eye on him and he enjoyed the extra attention.

Courtney and me. It was FREEZING outside the whole time we were there. We all tried getting out of the house for awhile but it was pretty miserable.

Reading with Bailey and Mason.

The oldest four watched a movie together. Mason didn't last long.

Owen had a blast with Joshua. I love watching their friendship grow.

Home Again, Home Again

We just came back into town. We had a great time with dear friends and I have lots of fun photos to post and some fun news to share. I doubt I'll get back to the computer tonight b/c my sister and her husband are coming over for a impromptu dinner. I think they were going a little stir crazy from the time-off and we can rarely make a dinner work. So why not just keep the party going! They are even bringing their dog, now that both boys LOVE him. Hooray! (Does this mean we'll be dog sitting?)

I hope everyone is having a great start to their new year. I haven't had much time to think about it, but we don't have much planned this weekend. So I am sure some ideas will creep in my brain.

Celebrate!

Fun plans

It's going to be a busy morning! We have fun plans to ring in the New Year. Your only hint is that Owen is upstairs singing at the top of his lungs, "it's going to be a fun day" over and over and over :)

Have a safe and happy new year's eve!
