Basketball,Boys,Birthdays,Disney & More....




We had another crazy weekend..... Friday night we had a sleepover with a friend of Matthew's and a friend of Michael's. They are brothers Josh & Caleb. We had pizza and then went to Matthew's basketball game, where he scored one of the only baskets! Then home to try and wind 4 boys down for bed..........
On Saturday we woke up to the boys singing Happy birthday to Dad. Then I made pancakes for breakfast and Josh & Caleb left to go to hockey. We had lots of fun at the sleepover!
The we headed to Disney on Ice. We had the best time! I packed snacks and blankets and each boy picked a C@rs toy as their choice for their souvenir. After the show was over, Michael cried, because he wanted to watch more.....
We had lunch at this Jersey style pizza place in the city. It was very yummy! Some of the best pizza we have had in a long time! The chef sent out the best cannolis out for Dave's birthday, they were delicious!
We came home and got the boys settled so that we could go to dinner with friends. Dave's Dad & SMIL watched the boys, while we headed to the "new' casino downtown. We met our friends Teresa & Gene there, and found out that they are pregnant! They are having TWINS! 1 boy and 1 girl, we could not be happier for them!
We ate at the Burger Bar and it was excellent, then walked around for awhile to check things out. Our friends Diane & Rich met us out for drinks after dinner. We had a great time!


On Sunday, I taught Sunday school, then we raced home to finish things up before the triplets- monkey birthday party....It was so much fun! They bought a new bouncy house and had it set up in the garage. The triplets kept saying "jumpy-jumpy". They had so much fun bouncing everywhere. Then Lollipop the clown arrived. She was face painting and made some of the coolest balloons that I have ever seen. The kids had a blast! We bought them a new picnic table and birthday plates for them to use every year on their birthday.
We love you Jacob, Sophia & Liana!

Dave & Matthew left the party early to test their pinewood derby car. The race is this week....
Then Michael and I picked them up at home and we headed to dinner at Chili's with our friends Eric & Beth and their 3 girls, Olivia, Katie & Sophie. After that we went to the Magic House, our school rented it out for the night. It was so much fun to have the place to ourselves with all of our friends.....
Needles to say, I am STILL tired! Someday, we might slow down, but for now we sure had fun :)
I hope everyone else had a great weekend too!

For my "followers", this post might throw you off; especially my Dad :) It is not what I usually blog about. However, I discovered this a few weeks ago, and I LOVE it! If you have ever used Sp@nx before, you can relate to just how cool their stuff is. Let's face it, two kids later, things are not, where they used to be. I know shocker...... So after my friend Katie told me about the I went to Nordstrom's and bought it. It smooths AND hides those "rolls" in the back! It is a little pricey at $62, but you get what you pay for and it is totally worth it!
The only thing to remember is that if you are like me, you "might" have decided to work out in the New Year, and lose a few pounds, and this does not come with adjustable straps, so when you lose, you will have to go down a size. That is why for now, I have only one...
Happy shopping & "Bra-llelujah"!!
