Company

This past weekend, Doug's mom and dad were able to come visit us. We had a fun time visiting and it went by way too fast. On Friday, Doug and I went on a date while the kids had some one on one time with Grandma and Grandpa. We went out to dinner and to see the Star Trek movie. We both had a great time.

The next day, due to the heat, we decided to go swimming for the first time this season. Some of us only dangled our feet, but it was very refreshing.

(We put Doug's mom to work skimming)


On Sunday,(along with going to church of course) we celebrated Doug's birthday. Doug's birthday is not until Wednesday, but we thought it would be fun to celebrate it while Doug's parents could join in on the action. We threw some meat on the grill, opened presents and ate some cake and ice cream. Yummy!
Homemade German Chocolate Cake...mmmmm.
The kids made some coupons to give to Doug. They each had their own colored cards and included items like....free massage, 2 hours of peace & quiet, help in the garden, a hug & kiss, etc.

Overall we had a fabulous weekend. Unfortunately, Lexi came down with the stomach flu on Sunday morning. She missed out on all of the birthday celebration. :( I saved her a big slice of chocolate cake for when she gets better.

The cake looks huge! We wish we were there to enjoy the pool with you. I'm sure that is one thing about your house you will miss if/when you move. The coupons are so cute, I'm going to have to copy you.

All for J's said...

I'm so glad that she is feeling better!! I have the same puke bowl, only ours is blue. Those bowls rock! :)
