Family and Friends

There is absolutely nothing better than family. I have lived in Washington state most of my life. I love it there. I know with Don's career that we will probably never end up there(although I am still praying). But what a blessing it is to have a sister out here. She is only 20 miles away and it has been so fun to spend time at her place. Now that Don is gone I pretty much spend my weekends there. I love that she lives on a culdesac. This kids played and played all weekend long. The weather was so nice. I don't think they have ever played so much basketball before. Even the adults played a little. Rachel has two friends across from my sisters house that she just LOVES. They are inseparable. The boys also have a couple friends that they play with but mostly have a TON of fun with their two cousins.

Next weekend we are having a party to celebrate something very important. The kids are excited for Friday night. It is when Ben Ten will be getting new aliens. This is a big deal so I have decided to make a party of it. I love getting together with family and I use any and all excuses to have a party. SO bring it on BEN TEN. We are ready to party.

I am so exhausted from all the late nights. We didn't get to bed until midnight and 1 a.m. last weekend and this weekend and I am sure next weekend will be the same. You have to stop doing this to me SUE. :)

Sara is walking on the stilts that Don made for the kids. She is the stilt champion and puts everyone else to shame. Way to go Sara. Rachel and her friends are all sitting on a skateboard and going down the driveway. LOOKED SO FUN. Too bad I am too big to ride. The kids are playing four square in the middle of the culdesac. They play it so much different from when I was growing up but it looked fun too. What a fun weekend.
