Free at last:-)

Man I am a free woman for a little more than 24 hours:-) The hubby decided he wanted to go camping and I convinced him to take 4 of the 5 kiddos....woo whoooo!!!!! I don't think he knows what he is getting himself into, but I know he can handle it:-) So, I would update with pictures, but he took the camera with him and I forgot to download the past 4 weeks:-( Oh well, I guess I will go and clean my house and enjoy it being clean for more than 20 minutes:-) I am so excited to have a quiet house too:-) Wish me luck on my quiet weekend!!!

Well, a lot has happened in the past week in a half. First, my mom, step dad and little sister came and visited us over Memorial weekend. We had SO much fun visiting and going places with them, staying up late and best of all, playing the Wii as much as possible (thanks mom for bringing it). Especially the girls; they definitely got some VIP treatment:-) We blessed Addison while they were here. Jonathan did an awesome job with that. We had some fantastic ribs that my mom and Chad made:-) And we have enjoyed our first full week off of school....WoooWhoo! We celebrated Megan's 7th birthday also this past Saturday. My husbands youngest sister had her first baby over Memorial day weekend. Congratulations to them...we hear she is a beauty just like her momma:-) Oh and my twiner just had her 5th baby girl June 2nd, 8#10oz. SOOOOO incredibly excited for them she is a ball of yum-y-ness! So here are some pictures of what has been going on:

HOLY COW...I sure do have A LOT of pictures...so be prepared

Grandma Shreeve meeting little Addi for the first time:-)

Addison at 2 weeks
Aunt Kait meeting Addi for the first time:-)
Megan playing the Wii (She loved the competition)
At one point while they were playing "Price is Right", the Wii asked, would you like to play and she replied, "Why yes I would", like a true contestant...so cute!Blessing Day!

We were so blessed to have some friends come and be a part of the day as well as the family that was able to come...Thanks everyone!
Cute Addison in the blessing dress that each of the girls have worn. My mom made it when Anna was a baby:-)
My mom is so Awesome when it comes to doing crafts with the kids. She puts a lot of time into these projects and they LOVE doing them with her...Thanks mom:-)
Final outcome...cute little edible flowers!
On Memorial Day we all ventured to the Children's Museum and it was A LOT of fun!
I don't know about any of you, but as a little girl I loved playing grocery store. I was trying to imagine what the girls were thinking as they got to this part of the museum:-)
Then they had this "cooking" area too! I love it! IF I had all the money in the world I would totally set my play room up like a grocery store and kitchen/restaurant.Like any good cook she washed her hands first....too cute!
I love this picture of Megan.....it makes me smile/laugh:-)
Me and little sis:-)

T-R-O-U-B-L-E
By far Megan is our biggest dare devil. This was right up her alley.

We all got to do fun crafts.Grandma Shreeve helping little mags with a glue mis-hap:-)Granny Jan helping Mags with another craft:-)

What, we paid too!

Our Memorial Day Feast

They made the BEST ribs ever w/ roasted red skin potatoes, asparagus...mouth is watering just thinking about it:-)

Megan's 7th SUPER HERO Birthday Celebration!!!!!!!
Addison was also 3 weeks old, no picture though:-(
So earlier that week I asked her what kind of cake she wanted and she informs me that she does not like cake anymore and that she wants a rice crispy cake. Sounds good to me! (I didn't have to heat up the already warm house)They started off by getting their super powers with popping balloonsPlayed pass the cryptonite game
Then they made their own super hero masksOpened presents up
Then made their very own super hero pizzas
While waiting for the pizzas to bake and for Jonathan to tie up the pinata, she got into one of her presents and had some fun!!Did the pinata!!!!!!
Ate the pizza

Then everyone went home!!!

Megan is such a fun daughter. She keeps us on our toes and helps us to strive to be better...WE LOVE YOU MEGAN!!!!!

Well that's all folks. Hope you enjoyed all the latest happenings:-)
