Party Time

This past week we had the flu bug that has been showing up everywhere and were out of commission on Tuesday (well at least Blake and Ashlyn) I was the cleaner, sanitizer, and laundry lady! It was a long, busy day...thank goodness everyone is feeling better and we've had a fun weekend - Friday night was "Girls Night" with some great friends from my junior high/freshman days and we had a fun night eating dinner at ZTejas and then over to Cold Stone for some ice cream! Even though the night began around 6PM, after dropping the girls off I didn't get home until after midnight! (Thanks Blake) We laughed SO hard and just took a walk down memory lane! We had some great times together and I must say I hope we are able to spend more time with each other! Some girls I hadn't seen in about 8 years others 6 months so it was nice to catch up either way... Today we tried to sleep in and after doing some chores headed to my parents to visit with my moms parents! We quickly went to Sportsman's where Blake splurged and purchased a rifle he's been wanting for over a year (he totally deserves it) and then off to my nephews birthday party! This party was unlike any other, the "Reptile Guy" was there and brought lots of awesome animals for us all to learn about and touch! Even Ashlyn enjoyed the snakes and lizards... tomorrow we're looking forward to my sisters family arriving for the Thanksgiving Holiday and spending some quality time together! We feel so blessed in our lives to have so many people who love and support us, and it's a HUGE blessing to have the gospel in our lives! I'm so thankful for my little family and my wonderful husband! Happy Thanksgiving
