I've been busy chasing baby Godzilla around.  Thank God she's cute!

We Like To Party!

We have a huge, wonderful family, but we are also blessed with an amazing group of friends.  We spend a lot of time together.  I consider them our second family!  I love them, and their kids, so much!

On Saturday morning, we headed to a birthday party for our friend Tracy's daughter.  Adorable little Charlotte was celebrating her first birthday!

We had so much fun!  Tracy worked hard on the party.  Everything looked so cute, and the food was delicious!  A lot of our friends were there, and the kids ran around the entire time with their buddies. Two of the moms from the blogger/twitter moms group Tracy and I belong to were there.  It was so nice to see Stephanie and Amy

I think Charlie had a great party!

We had so much fun, that we ended up hosting an impromptu after party at our house! Actually, I had no clue about it, until our friends started telling me what they were bringing over to eat.  Grant arranged the whole thing at the party, and didn't tell me!  I'm a go-with-the-flow type of person, so it sounded good to me!

Our entire group of friends ended up coming over, right after the party.  Tracy brought over the party leftovers, and our friend Amber brought over the remaining food from her cookout the night before. The house was loud and crowded with 10 adults and 11 kids, but it was a lot of fun!

365 Project: Week Sixteen

We spent the day with my family, celebrating my nephew's 7th birthday!  The weather was beautiful, and we had so much fun!

Typical Monday. Lily's 8 month photoshoot, followed by having some friends over for dinner.

I babysat all day.  That evening, Dylan had his last baseball practice, and then we went to a friend's house for dinner.

I spent the day with Lexie, on her field trip to the Children's Museum.  We had so much fun!  That evening, we had some friends over for dinner.  (Yes, we have dinner with our friends a lot, and love it!)

I honestly can't remember what we did during the day!  Dylan's Open House at school was that evening.

{April 20th} 

A busy day! Dylan had a pre-scheduled 2 hour delay from school, so Grant had to drive Lexie to school while I stayed home to get Dylan on the bus.  I left much earlier than usual to pick up Lexie, because I had to sit in the parking lot with my best friend's toddler while she read to Lexie's class. The girls and I went to visit my parents for the day, and Dylan came over after school.  We stayed until about 9, then headed home.

{April 21st} 

I took Lexie to a classmate's birthday party.  She had so much fun!  Afterward, we ran some errands.  Once home, we took a family nap! That very rarely happens! That night, the big kids had a sleepover in Dylan's room while Grant and I watched some movies.
