Our weekend started Friday night with Macey’s 7th birthday party. It was a Luau! Everyone came dressed so cute, and they jumped on the trampoline, played “hot coconut”, did coconut bowling, hula hoping contest, and had a great time.

With 14 girls there was lots of screaming and high pitched happy voices, it was a bit much. Even Macey came in and said there were too many girls! The cake was an ice cream cake I made. It was really easy, and the kids loved it. Inexpensive too!

Saturday our friends the Fagg’s were in town. They are the ones we visited in Georgia over Spring Break. So we went over to the neighbor’s house where they were staying and had a pot luck breakfast. After that, I ran Hudson over to the church where he was suppose to help with a Scout fundraiser: car wash, bake sale and rummage sale. Now here’s one of the highlights of the weekend. But I have to tell this first…for the past few weeks I have been working really hard on cleaning out stuff and getting rid of junk. I had quite a few boxes and bags of this and that. Lots of stuffed animals especially. Well, after the rummage sale, they let the boys take home whatever they wanted. And yes, you guessed it, here comes Hudson home with boxes and boxes of junk and lots of stuffed animals!!! Our bishop kindly brought him home and called us on the way to give us the warning! So now I made him keep all of it in his room, and wow, what a mess!!!

Andrew had about 2 hours of the day where he felt okay, so we worked on cleaning out the garage. When the basement flooded, we moved most of everything out there, so now we need to clean it out and get rid of more stuff!

Later Saturday, we took the kids to the Old Navy outlet and let them each get a new shirt and shorts for the summer. If you ever dare visit the outlets on Memorial Day, they have great sales. It is worth it. But we only went to Old Navy, and only for 1 hour. Then headed back to the Summer Kick-off event right at the park by our house. They block off the street and have food vendors, ice cream, moon bounces, etc. And then they do a firework show. It is always lots of fun, and the whole neighborhood is there, so the kids love it.

Sunday night we had 3 families over for dinner. We ate and then played some fun games.

Yesterday we had a ward picnic and then went to the pool. It was a nice warm day but freezing cold water. The kids didn't mind! I did a photo shoot last night for the man who helped us with the carpets. His whole family was in town for a baptism and they wanted family pictures. I was so happy to do that for them. They turned out pretty good.

That just about sums it all up. Andrew was really sick over the weekend, and this was suppose to be a good weekend. He was only able to do everything listed above for about 1-2 hours, then that was it for him. But thankfully only 2 treatments to go! Almost there.
