Playing Catch Up

I am SO far behind.  I'm not really going to try and fit everything in but I'll at least get the big stuff.  We missed a few birthdays in there I'm sure...

We went to Stadium of Fire for the 4th of July. We all had lots of fun. We got to go to Olive Garden before and stuffed ourselves.  We walked right in, were seated, ordered and served withn 1/2 hour!! It was crazy. The food was EXCELLENT.  I was so full I still can't believe I managed to finish a cheesecake slice... but hey, it was cheesecake! 

We got to the stadium really early and found great parking. We played some of the games and got a bunch of free stuff. It was fun.  I even got to see the Jonas Brothers from 20 feet away.  I heard loud shrieking from all the girls in the stadium coming closer so I peeked between two mobile homes under the stage and there they were!! Jealous?! just kidding. Really, I went for my kids...


The kids had a blast.  Ashley got into the concert and sang t
o every song. She had fun standing on Daddy's lap and dancing the whole time.  Jakob and Andy had fun but refused to dance or sing.  Gavin sang along to some of the songs but held on tight for the fireworks.  And Ethan slept through the whole thing. Until the fireworks which he LOVED.  He kept pointing and giggling.  Jakob decided that maybe it was okay if we go again next year... we'll see.

The next day was Gavin's birthday and he was proud to turn 3!! He got bubbles from "the girls"(i.e. the nursery leaders) after church and he didn't want to open his presents from us because he loved his bubbles so much!!   We went to a neighbors house and had excellent food and then Gavin got to blow out his candles on his mickey mouse cake.
