What a fun weekend!

Another fun and busy weekend! Friday we watched two of our neighbor boys, Nicholas and Xavier! We had such a great time with them. We played in the backyard all morning with the OTHER neighbor boys, Colton and Carson too! Then we ate lunch and right in the middle of lunch we heard the crop-dusting helicopter across the street again. So, we hightailed it outside without shoes or anything! Our neighbor Julie and her cutie-pants twins, Elly and Lily, came out and watched. Then we went and got Tara (another neighbor) and her boys (the same ones who played with us earlier in the day) to enjoy the show. We had a party right in the neighbors' backyard while they weren't even home! We moms kept joking that it was great, cheap entertainment. A free air show and pet show. The OTHER neighbor came over with her little "buppy" as the twins call it! That afternoon, the kids and I watched Enchanted. It was a fun day!

Saturday was filled with a trip to town to Target to get a wedding gift together. Then it was off to an evening wedding! The sweetest young couple at our church was married. Poor Tyler was a good boy RIGHT UP to the time that our pastor settled himself up front for the wedding party to start in. Then he fell and bonked his head on the chair in front of us. Oh my! I would've exited promptly but no exit was available. The one had all of the attendants behind it and the other had the bride. I did manage to keep him from SCREAMING but... Remind me to get a babysitter for the next wedding. But, it was a sweet celebration. The groom prayed over his new wife quietly after they shared in the Lord's supper together. How sweet is that!?

So we came home and today was pretty uneventful. Keven had to be gone all day to work so we couldn't really do much for him for Father's Day!

The next few days will be packed with doctor appointments, tap rehearsal and recital, a funeral, playtime, Summer Reading fun, and packing for a 5 day trip with JUST my hubby. I am so excited!

Carson, Elly, and Dani ready for the next appearance of the helicopter.

Nicholas and Dani!

Xavier fell asleep on my couch during the movie and stayed there for nearly two hours! What a sweetie!



I know I am such a nerd but these helicopters are so cool! He actually stopped in front of us, facing us, and flew sideways really slow as if waving goodbye to us! That was the highlight for us mommies for sure (other than watching the sheer excitement from the kids!).

On that note, VIDEOS! Yeah!
