Where oh where do I start??-Sorry for a long blog it has been awhile. .

Where oh where do I start. . .lets start on my daughter's birthday weekend. .. May 22-25. . .

Friday the 22ND

My kids were off to school and my niece Feather came over for me to do her hair for her sixth grade tea she turned out cute. . then I did some last min shopping for birthday supply stuff for the next day. Then I went home and was feeling very anxious about the day.

Well what do you think??



Well then I was waiting for my sister Shirley and her family to come to town. They finally arrived! and I went out to greet them and gave everyone a hug. Her youngions probably thought I was weird because 3 of them had never meet me and the oldest I had not seen since she was a year old. It had been almost 15 years!! Wow, but I could not help myself!

Anyway it cracked me up how shy and hard it was to get them to talk and visit. They reminded me so much of my kids in that way. The rest of the family's kids are very bold and completely not shy! Well in the meantime Purity and Serenity arrived home from school and they to was being very shy, oh no what was I to do to get people to talk??? I know I had to prepare things for tomorrow (Purity's Party) SO up I started and oh how quick they all jumped in!! Thank you all for your help. They all helped make 20 lbs of potato salad/ six dozen deviled eggs/ a gallon of baked beans. And 6 dozen cupcakes (because I burned 3 dozen oops!) There was a couple of good laughs we had and it really broke the ice. Everyone was visiting. One of the funnies that comes to mind was when my niece Emilee was peeling a potato and she dropped it in the trash can and said Aunt Lucky you are going to have to rinse this one off I dropped it in the TOILET! Ha ha everyone laughed I think it embarrassed her a little but it was cute and I will always remember it. Love you Emilee!!

Then Eric my brother went and picked us all up Papa Murphy's Pizza it was good! They went to the hotel and we were off to bed we had so much to do tomorrow!!

SATURDAY PARTY DAY

We were up early cleaning and doing last min preps for the party Eric then cooked breakfast and Shirley, Brenda (Shirley's Mom) and the Kids all arrived. We ate breakfast and visited a little but there was so much to do. .. . . . . .

Finally Party time. .We had it all set up at my church (thank you TPSJ) for letting us have it there, We had a big moon bounce, a cake walk, basketball, and a cookout, and cake and ice cream. Purity had a Luo theme Flip Flops, grass skirts ans Luau's it was fun. About 65 people was there WOW right it was huge and everything went over good, Her dad's side of the family and my side was all there and she had 4 of her friends from school show up this was wonderful. .. . . (The only down side was that I let Feather borrow my camera the day before for her sixth grade tea and she was supposed to bring it today and forgot it at school :-( I was not happy). . but I was able to get a few pics of the party from my mom's camera here are some. . .

It was a good day!

Sunday - Up and going early again!!

It was Zaden and Makayla's birthday party today! We all meet up at the Park and had a cook out and the kids played and had a good time, they had a Pinata and played on the slides.

I love you Zaden and Makayla HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

And to ALL THREE BIRTHDAY KIDDO"S!!

We then went to church and then to Monkey Cove water Park the kid's had fun it was the first time my girls had been there Sorry I did not have my camera to show you picks but they enjoyed themselves, we then came home and Eric made Pork Loin Stir Fry with rice and Egg Drop Soup. And I have to admit that it was delicious Thanks Eric!! It was a great night all the rush and preparations of the birthday's over and time to actual relax together and talk!!
Purity got a sand kit for her birthday and wanted to share it with her two cousins Dawson and Rylie so that they would not forget her. . . how sweet. . . so they did that together. It was fun.

The next morning we all meet at Ryan's and ate breakfast buffet, and it was time to say good-bye for now. . . .It was sad the kids were finally starting to play and enjoy themselves together. . but I guess that just means we are all going to have to visit more often!!

Thank you for coming Shirley, Brenda, Keith, Haliegh, Emilee, Dawson and Rylie we all enjoyed having you here and love you all so much!

Love Lucky, Purity and Serenity!
